    It needs to bake longer. If your breadmachine is adjustable, try a longer cycle. Bread is "done" when a clean table knife plunged into it comes out clean and not sticky on the bottom. Bread that is not done needs to go back in the oven. You can take that loaf, put it on an oven proof plate, and pop it into a heated regular oven @ 350

    Any real meat without added ingredients will be gluten free, such as a whole beef roast or a whole chicken or fish. On other things, you can use google and the phrase gluten free (name of item) and search to see if it is gluten free or not. When in doubt, call the number on the package. Roasted meat and vegetables are the easiest thing to do gluten...

    I use it all the time, mixed with other gluten free flours or nut meals. I do an almond meal, potato starch, sorghum, amaranth and millet mix to make a bread that is like a whole wheat multi grain bread. A lighter mixture that you just did, if it worked for a cake it should work for other types of sweet baking, as well. I've also used it in pie crust...

    FMcGee- the "bright spots" are little brain plaques or lesions that can show up on an MRI scan of the brain. If one has a form of gluten intolerance that has the damage showing up as neurological symptoms mimicing MS, and they are trying to diagnose you with the wrong disease, they might run a brain scan looking for it. (which is when they stick your head...

    I would be talking to the school that you are not taking my kid with a diet restriction to an "undisclosed location" for dinner, what is wrong with this school that they can't tell you which location specifically so you could call the manager (and ask who is working that night).... what a crock. Who is in charge of this trip ? What if it were a peanut or...

    You've left out a lot of information. Did you get a blood test run to see if you had gluten antibodies ? Did you get a biopsy for gut damage, or a brain scan to see if you had bright spots ? Do you have any other medical conditions diagnosed that are associated with being gluten intolerant or celiac ? Are you eating a nutritiously balanced diet, or...

    Just tried the Steve's Pizza last night on Howe Ave in Sacramento. WOOT! Very Good ! It's a thin, crispy sort of gluten-free crust, and we tried the Mediteranean style toppings, with spinach, feta, a little bit of hot peppers, sliced tomatoes. It tasted wonderful. This place is not too far from the American River Parkway, Sac State, and Cal Expo...

    I noticed that the benedryl boxes have changed and the cute little dry powdered, gelatin capsules I have taken for years for emergencies, (not to mention you can give this to a horse in an emergency, don't laugh) have now been replaced in stores with this liquidgel ****. I am not a happy camper. I despise trendy stuff done for no reason. Does anyone...

    Hi there. Going gluten free really helped my eyes with this. Could be you are borderline low thyroid, which is another possible, wonderful complication of gluten intolerance/celiac. Soy depresses thyroid function, so you may want to try switching to another alternative milk product. You may also want to get tested for thyroid levels and antibodies....

    What a bunch of winners you've found there ! This is HMO style medicine at its finest ! You don't want a disease you can cure by eating anything but one grain group. Positive test results don't mean anything when they correlate with symptoms, and it certainly would not have been passed thru inheritance ! been there, done that, really need to design...

    No, the opposite happened to me. Try taking a calcium supplement and a magnesium supplement, along with a B vitamin complex. THIS is the primo condition that those cal/mag supplements really work on. Don't think that it is too late, get some calcium and magnesium into yourself pronto. You might try natural bioidentical (NOT the artificial) progesterone...

    Some charcoal has gluten in it.

    Mine thinned out quite a bit over time, so the forehead bangs area never grew out much below my ears and below shoulder length it was really thin- as a child I had pretty thick, wavy, curly hair and it was nearly middle of my back- waist length as a young adult. It started to look piteously ratty at shoulder length, the older I got, and I finally gave up...

    Oh, geez, that is what I mean about having fear of Grand Juries. That is also done during the deliberation process in long or complicated trials, when there is a problem with gaining consensus of all the jurors in gaining a verdict- the judge just sends you back into the room. You can't just grab us off the street and expect us to eat normal restaurant food...

    The best tasting gluten free "flours" are mixes of several different kinds of grains/nuts instead of a single flour. Many people have had tasty results using some sorghum flour in their mixes, along with millet, amaranth, almond meal, pecan meal, flax, coconut, teff, quinoa, etc. I don't think a highly processed wheat starch, devoid of protein, is going...

    Because you are overcooking it and then not rinsing it thoroughly in a colander before putting it in the casserole dish.

    I almost always get a yearly jury summons. It is very uncomfortable for me to sit still on certain types of furniture for any length of time because of permanent nerve damage caused by arthritis. I go anyway and grit it out during the voir dire (to see, to say) selection process, knowing that I won't be selected anyway. After several years of rejections...

    ARCHIVED Salad Dressing

    Takala replied to kmflavin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Or, you can make your own salad dressing, which also doesn't cost much. The basic ingredients do not have to be refrigerated, either. Oil. Olive oil is good. Gluten free vinegar such as real apple cider vinegar or balsamic. Or fresh lemon juice from a wedge of lemon. A sprinkle of salt. Maybe a sprinkle of sugar or sweetener, a shake of pepper. That's...

    ARCHIVED Overwhelmed

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

    Okay, you could be breaking out from something topical applied to your skin, in addition to eating something, and it doesn't necessarily have to be gluten, it could be another ingredient. I know I break out from things that I have not identified all of, and maybe never will. I also know I react to wheat in cosmetics by getting skin irritations, no matter...

    Oh, it gets better. I went on the net to see if I could come up with an excerpt or copy of the Reader's Digest article, and I found this. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link If I didn't need to be a site member I'd set that snotty ****** straight.

    You didn't articulate the reason you thought you needed the official diagnosis.

    _____________ I live in a rural area. I have lived in rural areas my entire adult life. Until the developers overan the town to the south, driving the decent small supermarket I used to shop at out of business, and replacing it with an even larger one that still had nothing I wanted or needed, but cost more, I was then driving twice a month a 70 mile...

    I have an atypical reaction to gluten and it gave me such bizarre problems (another autoimmune arthritis, kidney problems, early bone loss, and neuro symptoms mimicking MS) almost nobody would believe me anyway, so it doesn't matter. I just say most of my problems resolved somewhat other than the fatigue and lingering nerve damage, and I'm stuck with some...

    Yes, there are such things as gluten intolerant dogs..... I have two, mixed breeds, one young, one old, that I adopted from the animal shelters, they are related by breed. One gets really bad ocd- like symptoms when he accidently eats wheat, gets neurotic and has trouble being housebroken. Off of dog food with gluten, he is a regular dog. We think the...
