    _____________ Yes, but it's egg, and you already don't want to use that. Somebody has used flax mixed in hot water to make a gel, and others have done the same thing with chia seeds. You may need to mail order chia seeds to try them. Some gluten free flours are more sticky than others. Almond meal (can grind almonds in a blender). tapioca starch...

    See here: Open Original Shared Link and here: Open Original Shared Link Gravy is very easy to make with gluten free flour substitutes. Take some form of fat, such as olive oil, butter, or melted fat from the cooking bird, heat it up, and mix some gluten free flour into it to make a roux. Cook it a bit, watching carefully. Then slowly add...

    Here's the original "Uprisings Reaching New Heights in Gluten Free Baking" thread by riceguy Riceguy was using a combo of guar gum and ground psyllium husk, and teff, sorghum, and sweet potato flours. This page has the details on how he was baking a loaf, it was about a teaspoon each of guar and psyllium per cup of gluten free flour ...

    Bump. see cbill's post about experimenting with adding psyllium to pre made gluten free bread mixes and getting better results and getting rid of the gummy center. Psyllium Aids Rising and Reduces Moist Center of Bread 11/8/2010

    The symptom of always being hungry is another symptom of untreated gluten intolerance and celiac disease. Your body is telling you that it is out of vital nutrients, and the way it says it is by making you "feel hungry." Once you get your diet balanced, for your particular metabolism, then you won't get that feeling anymore, and once you stop poisoning...

    I am getting curious about buckwheat and will try some soon to see if I react or not, on a day where I don't have to do anything the next day. This is the opposite of how most people think, and what the commercial food manufacturers don't get. There's nothing worse than eating a multi ingredient item, and you cannot figure out what it was that set...

    You would not want to roll this pie- dough- to- be on your regular contaminated surfaces with your regular contaminated rolling pin. You would want to use a clean surface, not used wood or plastic that has been exposed to regular wheat gluten flour. You can roll out pie dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, using a regular drinking glass, peel back...

    no, it sounds like Internet Exploder. Wow, I didn't know anyone was still trying to make that work. Is your Exploder updated with the latest version that will work on your computer ? Try the firefox browser.

    I have all the symptoms of sjogren's, dry mouth/eyes, stickier mucous, (it will also effect your lungs) and my dentist certainly can see its effects, as can my eye doctor, but the dingbat rheumie I made the mistake of wasting money on, (after a phone interview where they pretended to express familiarity with autoimmune arthritis) tested me for the antibodies...

    re Corn tortillas- I don't roll them if they are going to travel, instead, I cut or fold them in half and then put the filling inside of the half moon shape, and then cut it again to make a triangle wedge, that way it fits in a small ziplock baggie. They might get pre warmed or toasted a little, depending on what I want it to taste like. Honestly...

    Clean your steering wheel, dear, especially if a glutenoid has been driving your car and went thru a fast- food driveway gluten dispensing facility.

    Re: the wet gluten free cat food problem: Take a dry gluten free cat food, add some gluten free broth, or even water, let it soak, warm up in microwave. You now have wet pet food. You can a piece of fish, some canned plain salmon, or some other tasty (to a cat) plain meat item, like chicken livers, and poach it in water on Sunday for the week...

    _____________ That isn't typical, I don't think. There's an awful lot of home baking going on. Nobody actually eats tapioca bread, they try it once. Or, like in South America, they add a lot of cheese and egg to it, which certainly adds to the protein/calcium. And nobody eats pizza for dinner every night. Again, you're assuming that, given...

    Since I'm not very good with a lot of grain carbohydrate, Breakfast, depends on what I am doing. If I have to go somewhere, I will load myself with protein, fats, and a vegetable, some fruit, and that and a snack can get me thru until dinner. I have been known to eat dinner leftovers for breakfast, also. A must have is something hot like coffee or tea...

    One of the secrets of killing fleas on a pet, is that if you can find a decent shampoo that you can tolerate on yourself, it will probably kill the fleas just as well. Those old fashioned anti dandruff blue shampoos are particularly good at this. But other regular human shampoos will work. This is what pet groomers will tell you if you have a small...

    If you are gluten intolerant or celiac, and go off of it for a long time, when you re introduce it, you may notice that you have become more sensitive to some of the side effects. With your daughter being gluten intolerant, that means she had to have inherited the genes predisposing her to it from at least one parent.... that and your low thyroid and...

    You have to supervise them at first before you turn them loose in the kitchen like that. If you haven't, now is a good time to purge the cabinets of iffy ingredients. If there is something obscure which hasn't been used in years with gluten in the cupboard, they always manage to find it and use it. It never fails. Sample dialogue: Q. Did...

    Yes, but the regular version is that you A. Slept through the graduation ceremony B. Slept through the final exam C. Couldn't find the room to take the final exam. Didn't have #2 pencil, black ink pen.... D. Missed the job interview It's a very typical anxiety dream.

    And let me add, does this person REALLY think we're all going to croak off of malnutrition if we manage to find a place serving an edible gluten free pizza crust made of rice/corn/tapioca/potato and indulge once in in a while ?!

    I don't agree with that dietician (or the author's, not sure who the statement is really attributed to) that corn starch is the major component of gluten free bread. There are myriad gluten-free bread formulations. And recipes, using EGGS to add protein, yogurt to add calcium/protein, alternative higher protein, darker gluten free grains and seed/nut...

    _________ Yes, there is a restaurant organization for this. Open Original Shared Link Also, word gets around because most places have a support group or message board for celiac/gluten intolerant. Most of us are pretty lenient, and cautious, because we may not be sure of what the reaction was to, but if we are sure and it happens a few...

    Just wanted to say that, even if it is some brain damage from the gluten, you can still recover from it. You haven't been on the diet very long yet, and you also may be having some hidden cross contamination issues. Stick with it. Eat as well as you can, re proteins, vegetables, and good fats, and be sure to take those gluten free multivitamins ...

    Xanthan gum is a binder. Guar gum is a binder. Boiled flax seed gell and boiled chia seed gel is a binder, just make sure they are gluten free- don't get chia seed out of the bulk bins. If you can use tapioca or amaranth flours, they are also a bit stickier than say, rice flour. The other part of egg function is a leavening agent. So you...

    I'm just going to bump this up before it flies off the page. the funky punctuation messes up my reading number sequences.... somebody else needs to read this. "celiac pairs.... " there's definitely 2 of something there. I think you want this chart here Open Original Shared Link and there is another chart here Open Original Shared...

    It's still possible to cross contaminate one's self with gluten easily, and think that one is doing the SCD correctly, or the NSD or LDS correctly. Gluten free is another learning curve. K. A. has had some moderators not behaving well at times re diet issues.
