Thanks for the replies. I'm happy to hear that we can make authentic cookies from cornstarch! If we don't have success with that, then we'll start experimenting. My son has already made up the fortunes, but he won't let me read them....

The only recipe we have is a conventional recipe using wheat flour. We were going to try converting it. I'm just afraid it may not hold together well enough.

My son wants to try making fortune cookies using a gluten-free flour mix and some xanthan gum. Have any of you tried this, and if so did it work?

I don't have the labs right now ... will have to ask the doctor. How likely is it that I suddenly developed thyroid issues at the same time I went gluten-free?

Thanks for the replies! I have had my thyroid checked, and everything came back normal. My BMI used to run around 19, while it's currently 24.5. I'm eating a healthy diet, though I could probably eat more vegetables. I'm trying to limit refined carbs and focus more on protein, fruits and vegetables. I can tell that I am a bit more muscular than before...

I had severe malabsorption issues for many years before diagnosis. Despite having the celiac belly, I was still quite thin. Since I have gone gluten-free (about 10 months ago) I've gained quite a bit of weight. I'm not eating more, but my body seems to be wringing the most out of every single calorie. Has anyone else had this issue, and did your body...

If there's ever a board update, it would be nice to be able to view the posts you've started or replied to, without having to go back and track them. I miss that feature too.

I was reading some dog forums lately, and many people were complaining that their dogs had bad reactions (gas, diarrhea) to the new Canidae. Sounds like the change in formula was a bad idea for several reasons! Our dog eats Natural Balance Duck & Potato. (Another grain free option is their Venison & Sweet Potato formula.) It cleared up his chronic...

Penzey's has a gluten free taco seasoning too. It's lower in salt than many taco seasonings are.

That is ridiculous. It's not as if we could duplicate their product based on that one little piece of information! And even if we could, an industrial spy could easily pose as a doctor to get the information. Their policy makes no sense.

In case anyone else needs to know, I've heard back from the company, and this product is gluten free. It's also known as Italian Soda, and it's quite tasty.

I picked up some Galvanina blood orange soda at Costco today. Everyone else is enjoying it... I'm waiting to hear back from the company whether it's gluten-free or not. Has anyone had experience with this product?

I'm skeptical about this as well. The problems of cross-pollination and contamination with gluten-containing wheat will be very hard to solve. Also, wheat has been bred to develop high levels of gluten because of gluten's special characteristics. Cooking with gluten free wheat would be an entirely different experience, and I'm not sure that people who...

Yikes! Thanks for the warning! I hope they are conscientious about cleaning it all up.

It's funny what can induce people to share things about themselves, isn't it?
