    A good primer on the use of B vitamins and amino acids to address the nutritional causes of mental illness (which you're more susceptible to when you're malnourished...) is The Mood Cure by Julia Ross. There are more detailed books on orthomolecular medicine out there. You can google it. I'm taking tyrosine, 5HTP, B12 and B6, and it is helping with that drained...

    I've read that you can use 7/8 of a cup of sweet rice flour to replace 1c of tapioca starch. I recently experimented with a lot of flours in a very grand muffin experiment. I found that tapioca starch and sweet rice flour are similar to the extent that they are sticky. Sweet rice flour (used exclusively) tended to make the muffin denser and moister and...

    I know this thread is kind of old but I can totally identify with this right now...Ugh

    For those of you whose intolerance of eggs developed or was discovered post-gluten-free, do you have the same symptoms as an allergy? Eggs hit me a lot faster than gluten ever did.

    I think I was always allergic to eggs, even as a child, and it only seemed to get worse after going gluten-free (the first time) because I was eating more of them. I have to be 100% off both things to feel better. If I'm not, a whole lot more foods seem to bother my stomach and cause other problems. I think when you're poisoning yourself with gluten, you...

    Has anyone purchased this book, and does it have enough gluten free recipes to be worth it? It appears to not rely on "weird" ingredients like egg replacer. Open Original Shared Link

    Deb, Check out this website for some information on hair dye allergies. Hope this helps Open Original Shared Link Everyone--I can totally identify with this. I can't tolerate cologne with synthetic fragrance in it, especially "Curve" for men and "Angel" for women. They make my throat close up. I do think it is much worse if I'm already having an allergic...

    I've considered the chicken allergy, but when I've made chicken at home recently I feel fine. After that one salad I've had the old D for the past 24 hours, and without getting way into it here, I think it was something on the chicken or hiding in the lettuce. I'm now thinking I was glutened too, but I definitely had the egg reaction. No fun!! If every...

    My standard meal for eating out is a "big salad" with plenty of good cheese and some meat. Lately, however, I seem to be having the egg reaction to this, even if I use plain oil & vinegar. I don't know if it is cross-contamination from the surface on which the protein is grilled or tongs from a neighboring Ceasar salad. I don't know. I react sometimes...

    The ELISA and RAST tests done by Labcorp and the ELISA test done by Biotek are apparently mainstream enough for my snooty insurance company to cover them. And no, I didn't have one of those "omigod, you're allergic to everything" results. They were done three years apart, were largely consistent with each other, and definitely consistent with my experience...

    I had this test done, and no matter how small the histamine concentration was, I reacted and felt awful. I felt so bad, I didn't go back for the treatment. They can't treat me for gluten intolerance this way, only the "classic" food allergy I have to eggs, so I just made the decision to just accept the allergy and move on with my life. I hope this post isn...

    Cari, I just saw this post. Looks like nobody responded yet. I can't eat eggs either, in any amount. It is a frustrating thing to deal with. When I first went gluten-free four years ago, my egg consumption immediately went up and the initial "clouds parting, clear headed" euphoria of going gluten free was replaced with a whole host of new physical complaints...

    Hi, I'm hoping to start an egg allergy thread here. I'm allergic to eggs. The whites. The yolks. Even duck eggs gave me a reaction. I keep inadvertently bumping into things I react to in restaurants. I try to be cautious but eggs are everywhere. It almost seems more difficult to avoid than gluten. Eggs are in so many gluten-free products. I...

    Every time I eat Sesmark or Crunch Master rice crackers I wind up very sorry I did because I get gluten brain fog and the black cloud of doom. I've "tested" this several times and have no other explanation. It is still kind of hard to believe that such a small amount would do that to me.
  16. huevo-no-bueno
    I'd love to find a recipe for crispy, crunchy crackers kind of like those gluten-free brown rice snaps or "Mary's Gone Crackers." Buying these things at $4 or $5 per box is getting expensive (not to mention the plastic part of the packaging that cannot be recycled in my area), but flours and whole grains are fairly cheap. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Thanks for the help. I didn't know about using pumpkin--I dislike the taste of bananas so I'll have to give pumpkin a try. I do eat dairy; I eat from all food groups other than gluten and eggs. I'm wondering how many other people can't have eggs here. I wasn't crazy about the Carol Fenster egg-free recipes with soy. Everything I've made with xanthan gum...

    I can't have eggs, and turns out I can't have En-r-G egg replacer without getting a headache and a stomachache. I think it is the potato starch and tapioca starch in it. I know about egg substitutes for binding baked goods, such as milled flax. I'm sensitive to soy and didn't like the texture of tofu when I tried it in baked goods. How much baking powder...

    Dennis Wayne, I know exactly what you mean. Exactly.....but I can't believe how sometimes it takes hours for me to realize that I've been glutened and it isn't "just me." It isn't me at all. I'm learning that when a packaged rice cracker says, "produced in a facility that also produces wheat.." I can't eat that...

    Could be eggs or nuts.

    Laurel--your cat is so cute!! Here's the results of the next round of testing. I made more muffins with my eggless control recipe. This time, I was curious to see how each flour behaved with tapioca starch, since all mixes seem to benefit from addition of a starch, and how they all behaved with coconut, since coconut is really nutritious and has unique...
  22. huevo-no-bueno
    Thanks for everyone's replies. I totally agree with using less starch--tapioca turns into a weird kind of gel if the mix has too much of it. A question for everyone: how does tapioca starch compare to arrowroot starch?
  23. huevo-no-bueno
    I'm relatively inexperienced with gluten free baking (and I'm no-eggs), and I'm experimenting with what flours taste good to me and produce a texture I like when baked in a muffin recipe, all other things being equal. Having eliminated a number of flours and pre-packaged blends that I don't like, I'm down to the following: Brown Rice flour Quinoa flour...

    KJBrown--That would be fantastic. I would love the recipe. Thanks!

    Hey Rice Guy, Thanks for that pointer. I didn't know that millet and sorghum were similar. I like millet; it is tasty and cheap. I'll try using it when a recipe calls for sorghum. Have you used coconut flour much?
