    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I like using the Lock'n'Lock containers that are about the same size as the flour bags. I keep them in the door of my big freezer since almost all of them say it is best to keep them refrigerated. The ones that I use mixed together most frequently I keep premixed together in a larger container.

    It could be possible that you are experiencing a reaction to the sulfites. Some organic wines do not (supposedly) contain sulfites. Unfortunately, the ones I have tried I have not been that crazy about! Also, I understand that the red wines are better for you because they contain whatever good guys are present in the skin and seeds... sounds plausible...

    EnteroLabs has a page on their website that helps to further explain your results: Open Original Shared Link Even though your numbers are relatively low, as they say: Are the numeric values of antigliadin antibody a measure of severity? "...the numeric value of antibody is not necessarily a measure of severity of how your body is reacting to gluten...

    I too have been wondering the same thing, having just attended a potluck last week and ate a few bites of fresh fruit. There were salads as well, but not sure about the dressings, some had croutons, etc. Best not to take a chance. I am not aware of others in our group who are gluten-free (although I do know one CF), so it feels less "cater to me because...

    I've seen a few of their products in our local supermarket and have used a few, such as the cornstarch, for years. They seem to have a quality product. But for those who are hyper sensitive to products that are made in shared facilities with wheat, etc., it might pay to contact their customer service: CustomerService@HodgsonMill.com or call their Toll free...

    Do you know someone who does colon hydrotherapy? This sounds like what mine calls "a liver dump".

    Have you considered chia seeds? If you go to Open Original Shared Link or Open Original Shared Link you can get more info, and I know that Dr. Mercola promotes its use, as well. Google "chia seeds protein" for a load of information. I put them in my shakes every day! You can grind them first if you prefer, but I don't bother.

    My response could be related to who knows what else since I have not yet had any testing done. But I know that I feel better not eating gluten, and when I do eat it, I notice a marked difference in constipation and bloating, just to name two delicate subjects. I am sure that as I go further along and stay off gluten more strictly (I have only been strict...

    I use kefir almost daily (I do not need to be casein free), plus it's easy enough to make from goat milk if you have a cow's milk allergy. My understanding is that it should have the same probiotic benefits as yogurt. Certainly when you make your own! Find a Stanley stainless steel thermos and start making your own yogurt and kefir and it will not only save...

    I borrowed/adapted an idea from GlutenFreeGirl and used some cooked quinoa to make a frittata. I saut

    I wonder if they have an updated URL as well, do you know? The one listed above does not work (for me), and when I Googled them, it came up with the same thing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion they don't get as far as the Left Coast. I will just have to continue my quest for an alternative graham cracker recipe...!!

    Like CarolX, I just use the TollHouse recipe on the bag. I substitute a blend of sorghum/quinoa flour that also has some rice, amaranth, millet, and buckwheat. I baked my cookies on a stoneware cookie sheet that also had a thin (silicone? I think) sheet on it, because the first pan I baked were hard to get off the sheet. I also let them bake a little longer...

    Interesting... this is a topic I would never have considered. I stopped wearing ALL makeup over 10 years ago, I simply could not take the itching and burning I always experience whenever I try. (And I always bought the more expensive hypoallergenic stuff.) Even Mary Kay which is supposed to be so good for you gave me eczema all over my face. No thanks, that...

    I did not notice almonds or rice on that list, so I am wondering if almond milk or rice milk would be OK? Otherwise, use coconut milk for the basis of a smoothie for breakfast. I know you can't have bananas, but I didn't see blueberries on the list. You can usually find frozen blueberries all year round, and with some flax seed and chia seed, that could...

    I know that you can make your own baking powder, it just has 3 simple ingredients: 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch (aha! our culprit!) Answers.com says that you need "a mixture of baking soda, starch, and at least one slightly acidic compound such as cream of tartar that works as a leavening agent in baking...

    Ouch, I feel your pain. That's how it was for me, except I was wanting muffins with my tea at breaktime in the morning. The big thing at our office is to stop at Great Harvest and buy something for everyone. How do you say "no" to a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffin when someone has been so nice to do that for you, knowing it's your favorite!?! Well, I started...

    Perhaps it's not really fair for me to put my 2 cent's worth in here, since I don't even eat bread anymore. But I guess my question is: why are you trying to make bread? If it is to make sandwiches, aren't there easier (and tastier, not to mention less fattening) ways to eat what is basically a filling? Romaine lettuce comes to mind for wrapping tuna or chicken...

    Like you, I am new to the forum, new to Gluten-Free eating, but am enjoying the challenge! I think it helped that I was introduced straightaway to glutenfreegirl's blogsite, and she has the best attitude! I am not, nor do I aspire to be, a gourmet cook, but I love her positive outlook and enthusiasm for wholesome foods, and that can only help, I say! ...

    Your question is answered here: Open Original Shared Link with a great explanation by Fiddle Faddle.

    I'm confused... rice crackers do sound like a good substitute, but didn't Fiddle Faddle say we can't eat rice during Passover?
  22. ChicoYaYa
    Thank you, Fiddle-Faddle for speaking to this. That is my understanding as well. Yes, it is wheat (usually) but has been certified Kosher and appropriate for use during Passover. My search is for a Passover type "matzoh" cracker that can be made using non-gluten flours... If anyone has a recipe, please let me know!
  23. ChicoYaYa
    I realize not everyone will think this is a great solution, but I decided I didn't like the cost of those little bags of specialty flours, coupled with the fact that I could not know how long they had been sitting on the shelf. So, I bought a new grain mill from BlendTec and some sorghum, buckwheat, and quinoa from AzureStandard.com. (Already have millet...
