ARCHIVED Curious About Possible Celiac Symptoms As A Child
mushroom replied to RESO's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, I was like that as a child and through my early high school years. My mother never believed what horrible cramps the porridge and rolled oats used to cause me at school. Then, poof, it went away, not to recur until I was 29. I haven't a clue why it went away, but it was Mexican food that brought it back -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Bread, Can't Get The Crust Right
mushroom replied to crystalbannon's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
One hint I read for crustier bread is, once the loaf is baked, remove it from the pan and pop it back in the oven for a few minutes. Obviously, this hint is not for bread machines. -
Weelll, not necessarily. There are other parts of the wheat plant that do not have gluten' Wheatgrass, for example. And I found a product that had wheat stems in it. Now how they would keep it from being gluten contaminated is another question.

ARCHIVED Introduction & Request For Help
mushroom replied to dmafk's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
To answer your first question, it is very common to also be intolerant of other foods if one is a coeliac. For example, if you keep glutening yourself, you may not have allowed your villi to heal properly and may have problems with lactose. I have had massive problems with other intolerances as you will see from my signature. Fortunately, most do not have... -
ARCHIVED "you Look Run-Down"

"Looking run down" can mean that you are nutrient deficient. Have you had your vitamin and mineral levels checked? -
ARCHIVED Buying A Stand Mixer
mushroom replied to MartialArtist's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
The temperature of the water can be quite critical for the yeast. It really needs to "poof" up quite a lot from feeding on the warm sugar water. I have an instant read thermometer that I check the water temp with - all this new equipment we need. If your yeast doesn't do this, start again. You shouldn't need to whisk it in. Most gluten free breads do... -
ARCHIVED Non-Gmo Food Labeling?
mushroom replied to soulcurrent's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is really alarming to me. I hope New Zealand is not participating in this - as one of the last non-GMO bastions of the world. Not that our scientists aren't researching, but nothing is allowed to get into the food chain. I truly believe that all my intolerances, and there are many, are due to lectins, and lectins are the stuff they splice from... -
Don't let anyone tell you that youz anxiety attacks are "all in your head" or due to "stresses" that you are under, The stress you are under is most probably gluten induced and should fade as you rid the gluten from the system. Just relax, breathe, calm yourself, and know that this, too, shall pass. I know it's hard at the moment, but you are going through...

Yes, decontamination is an important part of converting to gluten free, especially if you are going to be living in a shared kitchen. Those to whom it does not matter do not understand how small an amount of contamination can affect a sensitive person. The reason you have still been having symptoms is probably because you have been having low level contamination...

ARCHIVED How To Handle Office Parties/get Togethers
mushroom replied to badsharkmovie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think we have all had these feelings amongst the various groups of people that we are affiliated with in some way. There is really no point in getting mad at them or letting them see how bad it makes you feel, because mostly they tend not to be able to come to grips with it. Just politely decline the food and say, I am sorry, I can't eat that. I have... -

Yep, there's quite a bit of that in converting to gluten free baking. Try to look at the trial part and find other uses for your errors (crumbs for a pie base, croutons, feeding the ducks/rabbits/dog, whatever -

ARCHIVED Is Test For Dh Going To Be Negative After Eating gluten-free?

I believe (with absolutely no authority to back this up ) that if a lesion is active, then there will be antibodies adjacent to it. -

Hi, and welcome to the forum. At this point there is really no way of knowing whether or not you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. Have you noticed any foods that seem to make your symptoms worse, for example? And with some people the reaction times after eating a food that is not tolerated are longer than with others, so that can even be...

You don't need any egg except the three whites. Do get some quick acting yeast. I used regular yeast last time and had to let it rise longer and it almost rose too much - started flowing over the top of the baguette pans. I was glad I had the paper to lift it back into shape The first few times I made it I made it in a regular loaf tin and it was...
