    There are so many good gluten free flour mixes, commercial and homemade, that baking with them instead of regular flour is a logical thing to do. And you can buy cookbooks that cater to gluten free baking, or get recipes off the blogs and here. Get a bag of Pamela's baking mix and throw out all that other stuff. Use clean new baking pans and you will...

    ___________________ Sensitivity to gluten increases once off of it for awhile as the body fully adapts. You can't deliberately cross contaminate your kid, he'll get sick, feel bad, and start getting neurotic. He isn't going to miss what the "other" stuff tastes like after awhile, since the homemade stuff is going to taste better anyway. Easiest...

    I will stick to the diet, thank you. No real long term studies will be available for years of possible complications and side effects. Diet is proven to work. Have had many very bad run- ins which pharmaceutical reps masquerading as something else on the internets, and truly despise the attitude they have that anyone who successfully treats and...

    Good grief. You will need to increase your amounts of protein and fats consumed, to act as your slow burning fuels. You HAVE to increase your natural fiber intake via fruit and vegetable consumption, to be able to hold moisture in your intestines. You just ate a little carb before doing that. That's crazy. You burnt it up real quick and couldn't replace...

    When I first did my radical diet change 5 years ago I went to a grain free SCD (specific carboydrate diet) for quite a while, then added small servings of rice back in eventually, then some beans sometimes but still not on a daily basis. Three years later I tried an occasional potato, then four years into it started experimenting with alternate flours baked...

    There are a lot of baking recipes for gluten free calling for cider vinegar. Real apple cider vinegar is made from apples so it will not be sourced from grain, therefore no worries as to possible gluten contamination. Pure rice vinegar would also work. Avoid "cider flavored" vinegars which are grain based and only colored and flavored to taste vaguely like...

    LOL ! I just assume they don't get it at all,, and will probably miss the meaning of what I said the first time, then I can be totally delighted if and when I run into somebody who does get it. You can always bring some of your baked goods or a box of prepackaged gluten free cookies with you, if you want to share something.

    Here is a helpful FAQ link that mentions why drinking regular beer is a bad idea for gluten intolerant people. It might look familiar to you. Open Original Shared Link "What is the treatment for Celiac Disease? There are no drugs to treat Celiac Disease and there is no cure. But celiacs can lead normal, healthy lives by following a gluten free...

    Bud Light is brewed from hops, barley malt, and rice. This poster had repeatedly posted that he drinks this beer and claims to have no "issues" with it, however, this item is not certified to be gluten free and is made from barley, which is part of the wheat family, so it also would cause an auto immune reaction in people who are known to be sensitive...

    Be sure to take a calcium supplement, some magnesium, and a B- complex vitamin daily. That will help immensely with the cravings. You will need to eat more vegetables, protein and fat than on a normal diet. Eating vegetables really does help, also.

    Fruit pizza. Take a gluten free pizza crust, bake it, then top with cream cheese and sliced peaches. And pears.

    I store flours in their original package which is then put inside a zip lock bag and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

    I had to try making this after reading about it, but the problem is I've never tasted the original so I'm not sure if I'm on to it tastewise or not. I also changed the recipe technique a bit to compensate for the gluten free flours. I also read that the "yam" they used is nothing like American yams so I just used an extra egg. But it already looks very...

    It's not all the way done. When you bake, before declaring the bread "done", take a plain table knife and poke the bread all the way thru to the bottom and pull the knife back out, and see if the knife is clean or sticky. If it's sticky, put the bread back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes more, then test again. Drop the heat in the oven a bit if...

    My quality of life improved dramatically as soon as I got over the notion that I had to eat commercially prepared ersatz manufactured baked goods made to imitate "wheat." On buckwheat: "The prevalence of allergic sensitivities to specific foods varies from one country to another depending on the frequency with which the food is eaten in that country...

    I am a baker, but I can't eat very much carbohydrate, so I don't actually make that much on an everyday basis. I do, however, have the ability to make stuff if I want to for special occasions to feed to other people, so I feel like I'm participating in the social world. For example, I made my husband a chocolate gluten free cake for his birthday. ...

    So I take a look at "Suzy Badaracco".... who was quoted last in that article... From Suzy Badaracco's website Culinary Tides:

    And this is correct. Large amount of water, and SALT it, and add a dash of olive oil to it. Don't boil the noodles so long, and then rinse. I swear those must be high altititude directions for the noodles because they never take that long to boil in real life.

    Try eliminating gluten and lactose (milk sugar) first. This means no wheat, rye, barley, oats and no whole unfermented milk products, but butter and aged hard cheese and gluten free yoghurt might be okay. Typically what goes wrong is that people forget to add fat to these higher protein lower carbohydrate diets and they end up getting hungry all the...

    And just in who's opinion is CORN not an acceptable grain product ?!! Not everybody gets along with buckwheat, either. What dolts.

    I think that if some joker tried to pull that stunt of being "too busy" with me, considering how sick this could make some people, I would be calling the State Medical Board next and complaining. No, they probably won't do anything, but I believe that when they finally get enough people standing up in this country for common sense and against greed, we might...

    I was wondering what the cows were eating, since on other sections of this blog it is said that mothers that breastfeed can pass gluten in their milk... anyone want to speculate on this possibility ?

    Not a doctor, and don't play one on the internet, but this sounds like your particular version of OCD, which we seem to have a tendency towards anyway. The fact that you are not sticking to your diet is in turn creating a biological reaction that is not letting your stick to your diet. Some of us were so old and already so screwed up by the complications...

    Hey ShayFl, where do you get the chia seeds and do they come pre ground and how much are you using per cup of flour ? As for starting baking, the difference between wheat and other stuff is that the protein in wheat is gluey/sticky so when we use other flours we add something to replace that function. Besides Xanthan gum, I've also heard of people using...
