    Here is more information, right from Monsanto. Notice how they pitch is as a climate change good thing to do

    As soon as I saw that name "Arcadia" I thought, that's that company that's trying to stick parts of one grain into other grains to give it various characteristics, and they really don't care about whether or not the result is that it would end up ruining the ability of all humans to eat rice. wheat, sorghum, etc, because they're more interested in selling...

    This is not about expanding our food choices but creating a seed vendor's monopoly. In the short term, it's about this company getting stimulus funding to do nothing useful. I would "enjoy" things a lot more if I could educate people on the giving end of this taxpayer's money so when these companies pitch for funding, somebody could say "that is ridiculous...

    ____________ Take a can of Libby's pumpkin (not the pie filling, just the plain pumpkin). Follow the recipe on the can for pumpkin pie filling, but bake it in a pyrex dish instead of in a pie shell. Add extra spices if you wish. Substitute a can of coconut milk for the condensed milk. Use honey or agave for the sweetener, if you wish. (use slightly...

    I feed baby chicks un medicated baby chick feed which is called by various names in different parts of the country. "Meaty Bird Grower" was one name. Read the labels. They even sell organic chick starter now, but read where it comes from, and avoid it if it's from China- who knows what is really in it. I have fed checks layer mash, in a pinch, and nobody...

    ____________________ Chickens don't need wheat, in fact, this fetish with putting wheat into livestock feed is a rather recent phenomena, so just mix your own and leave it out. Chickens also do better on whole or cracked/rolled grains instead of mystery pellets. If you can find a sweet grain mix of cracked corn and rolled oats with molasses, you...

    Bone constantly remodels itself, and gets replaced by new bone cells, only the rate slows done as you age or after you hit menopause, so the doctor was not correct that bone damage "can't" be fixed- otherwise broken bones would never heal. A good diet, gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements, careful, weight bearing exercise, and healed gut lining...

    Do the usual routine. When you're done at the barn, put the clothes you had on in the laundry, and wash your hands. You may want to hop in the shower, if you're ultra sensitive. In fact, you can carry a grooming bucket with you in the car with a brush, curry, hoof pick, and a baby shampoo pump dispenser, and use a hose to wash your hands before leaving the...

    I've done it with a bunch of different gluten free flour mixes- a three way mix of rice/tapioca/sorghum or rice/tapioca/potato starch. I've also done it with no rice flour, such as almond meal, potato starch, sorghum, amaranth, millet. (the last one is a much more whole grainier type of mix I use for gluten-free breads, but if it's in the refrigerator...

    I hate that. Recently went to a well known store chain to stock up on my one known source of raw sunflower seeds that are not cross contaminated, and now the package, their house brand, has raw sunflower seeds "made in a facility that also processes wheat and soy." I searched a long time for these and of course the IDIOTIC store (they're expensive...

    If you are going to eat low carbohydrate long term, don't forget to eat HIGH FAT, relatively speaking, long term. Fat is the slow burning fuel you need to replace the missing carbohydrates. Just high protein won't do it. This means lots of olive oil, nuts, avocados, coconut milk, etc. Each meal should include a vegetable and/or fruit, a protein, and a...

    those old classic recipes can be the best, agreed. There was a book called I Hate To Cook Book by Peg Bracken that had nothing but short, easy recipes. It had a recipe for a fast small chocolate cake in it, based in turn on a Depression era recipe without eggs or butter. (and currently used by the Amish and Mennonites and called "Whacky Cake." ) All...

    I will give you a few pointers, and bless you for your empathy. If you cook or do food prep for somebody else, wash your hands first, and make sure the soap you use hasn't got gluten in it. Plain Dish soap is usually quite safe, and I will dilute it with some water and put it in a pump dispenser. This is important if you've been smearing gluten laden...

    re wheat family triticale gluten "in everything"- There is no way to tell whether that statement is true or not, because, obviously, there is no way to TEST all other human product grain products every time to see whether or not they have any measurable parts per million of wheat family glutens. So it's conjecture. Some foods will have such a low, measured...

    Oh, wow, You MUST SEE Joann Mitchell's own food blog, Buen Provecho Sin Gluten Enjoy Your Gluten Free Food ! Open Original Shared Link don't worry, it is in English, the recipes are all illustrated and look fabulous !!!!

    Oh, my. The comments are very... feisty on that one. Many other Christian denominations do offer a gluten free host at communion.

    I am technically gluten intolerant, not celiac, and have had a remarkable lessening of many arthritis and neurological symptoms since going gluten free about 7 years ago. I wish somebody had been able to figure this out earlier for me, (and the last neuro = idiot who told me I did NOT have a food problem, when I kept telling her I had done an elimination...

    Well, now that I've had the misfortune of reading the response to the response..... .... You, and not anyone else, are responsible for what goes into your mouth, even in social situations. Unless you're physically incapacitated or an infant being hand fed. This means you must make a good faith effort to make your order precise AND gluten free. If...

    _____________ Ah, that's sad. Does quinoa work ? I did the scd for several years in the beginning (that's grainless ) and got pretty creative with grinding almonds in the blender. I remember the first time I made an alternative gluten free flour product little pan mini tortilla like thing to eat. It looked okay, it smelled delish, but...

    "itchy, antsy.... " Sounds like one of my mystery reactions to certain brands of dairy products. I am pretty sure it is antibiotic or other drug/chemical residues that is getting passed thru the cow into the milk, but there isn't any way to prove it. Sticking to certain other brands (organic) has been a way to avoid it, for me. I would be wondering...

    ARCHIVED Newly Diagnoised

    Takala replied to mmartin's topic in Doctors

    I think this topic might get a lot more responses if it were posted in the "Coping" section. Really, this isn't such a bad diet, all it requires is more planning than a regular person puts into selection of food items. It helps to make a list of what you have been currently eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then under each category, write...

    What a scumbag! He was taking regular bread and repackaging it as gluten free. "Hicks said Seelig lied to state investigators by claiming he bought his bread from a nonexistent Amish bakery in Millersburg, Ohio. Seelig instead was buying regular bread made by a New Jersey bakery through a third-party and reselling it as gluten-free bread, Hicks said...

    ARCHIVED Ooch ! !

    Takala replied to beksmom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Stick to the diet, and go as low carbohydrate/high fat, high protein as you can, with a lot of vegetables and fruit. Drink lots of water. Hot shower, baths, hot tub. Walk for a warmup, and then do yoga/stretching. Strengthen your core muscles as much as possible. This may be the last thing you feel like doing, but do it regularly anyway. Rethink the...
