    Thanks for the advice!

    I am looking for more variety in my training diet. I am limited by being unable to eat gluten (duh), eggs, and corn in very limited amounts. During training, I also limit simple carbohydrates. I want food ideas that are quick, because I don't always have time to wait for a potato to bake... Thanks in advance.

    I'm not going back to that restaurant because they were rude....I think it was cross-contamination, or msg, not the chicken itself. All this sleuthing gets exhausting.

    This recipe works very well, is vegan, is easy, and doesn't use a gazillion ingredients. Open Original Shared Link Brown rice flour, millet, tapioca starch and amaranth flour all work well. For a sourdough flavor, try equal parts millet and amaranth. It is unbelievable! I've only made the loaf, but I plan on making rolls, pizza crust, and foccacia next...

    Wow. Flour in butter and in potatoes? I don't understand. Butter and potatoes don't need any help! I've narrowed this restaurant reaction problem down to the chicken: it is either something that is injected into the chicken, coated on the chicken, or stuck to the grill. I've come to the conclusion that certain restaurants will just be rude and lose customers...

    I've been reacting to restaurant food lately, even though I explain issues concerning cross-contamination. For a while I thought perhaps I had developed an allergy to chicken, but when I fix chicken at home, I don't get the reaction. I'm starting to think that some restaurants use a supplier that puts something in the food that gives me an immediate headache...

    Yes, do test them first. I found out that they were as bad as chicken eggs for me.

    Thanks Wonka!

    Has anyone used acorn starch? Does it substitute well for other starches? You can get it at Asian markets.

    This looks like a fantastic recipe, and it might really help me have something to eat. I'll have to try it with pecan butter (my favorite!)

    dbmamaz, Thank you for your understanding! I can only handle tapioca starch in small amounts, but I'm better off avoiding it; it really has no nutritional value anyway. I just can't handle starches. The cornmeal is out, because of the corn allergy. Some corn-allergic people can't tolerate any corn derivatives--I find that the sugars don't bother me but...

    JNBunnie, Thanks for replying. I looked at the sites you mentioned. I don't think Blogger by the Bay's recipe would work for me. I think I have to start from scratch. I've never reacted to flaxseed before that I know of, but then again, I've never used quite so much in a recipe before. I can try eliminating it to see what happens. The only new ingredient...

    I'm feeling really discouraged. I've tried making Lorka's popular bread recipe three times and each time it is a flat, dense doorstop. I have to make substitutions, perhaps it is too many. I hope this isn't too off-topic for the baking list. I also immediately got a killer headache and shortness of breath when I ate a bit of it. When I was dealing with...

    Well! I think I have already figured out a way to solve my problem: I will use baking soda and grain-free baking powder for the rise, with yeast added for flavor only. I have seen recipes that work this way before. I will also put it in an 8x4 pan and bake it at a lower temperature (325) for longer (about an hour). Overall, it still made a perfect, wheat...

    I hear you. I'm frustrated with a similar--although not as bad--situation at a local chain in my area. They have the Sesmark crackers in the gluten-free section (Sesmark are not gluten-free and I've reacted to them) with a big tag hanging off the price tag that says "GLUTEN FREE ITEM!" Well, goody goody. That could really mess people up. I wonder what sort...

    Hi All, I'm looking for gluten-free biscotti recipes that are also vegan or egg-free and can work without commercial egg replacer. I love biscotti.... Thanks!
  18. huevo-no-bueno
    I have this in the oven right now! I made the following substitutions, since I can't tolerate potato starch, cornstarch, bean flours, and of course the eggs: Gluten Free Flour, 1 1/4 cups: 3/4 c. brown rice flour 2T quinoa flour 2T amaranth flour 2T sweet rice flour 2T millet flour In place of the 1/4 c. garfava flour: 1/4 c. sorghum flour In...

    Thanks for all your helpful responses. I'll have to be a lot more particular with restaurants, and go into more detail for them, even if it is awkward. The only thing I seem to be able to order with no problems is a cheese plate. Yikes!
  20. huevo-no-bueno
    I am afraid to eat out now. I went to a restaurant and ordered a salad with grilled chicken and crumbled feta cheese. The cheese did not appear to be the pre-crumbled type. I explained (to the waiter, whose first language was obviously not English) that I had an allergy to both wheat and egg. I thought it would be easier to tell him that they were both an...

    The chair of the board of naturopathic doctors in the state where I used to live said "you don't look like a celiac" and insisted that diagnosis would be based on a colonoscopy of the large bowel. Another practitioner insisted that I didn't need to eat gluten before the bloodwork because the TtG, etc. were a "genetic" test and would have high values in...

    Here's a few: "You can have sprouted bread, can't you?" "Oh yeah, gluten intolerance. Do you eat chicken and fish?" "You can use egg beaters instead." I'll just pick the croutons off. "I'll just pick the egg off." (At a buffet where the choices were: meatballs, bread slices, and cheese plate) "You can't just live on cheese!" "You don...

    Thanks. I've never been a big cereal person--what else can we do with these?
  24. huevo-no-bueno
    I made my most acceptable gluten-free, egg-free bread recipe with pureed canned tomatoes as the liquid instead of the usual combination of cow or coconut milk and water. It was a major failure. The crust hardened but all the way to the outermost 16th of an inch, but the inside remained pudding- or batter-like even after baking for an hour and a half. The...

    It is such a relief to unplug from that cycle. I look at it this way. There are people who genetically cannot tolerate alcohol. There are other people who genetically cannot tolerate gluten. When I found out the first time several years ago with the IgA test, I went off gluten and had horrendous withdrawal symptoms, like my brain was screaming out for something...
