    This program is the 2nd Annual NWA Celiac Conference and will be held at the Embassy Suites, John Q. Hammond conference center in Rogers Arkansas. Gluten Freedom Day will include these topics:

This event includes educational workshops, vendor fair, cooking demonstration and gluten-free food. Tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day of the event and include lunch(an Italian...

    They might not have control of the timeline. In August, the TTB (used to be the ATF) is supposed to rule on what category to classify what we like to term "gluten free beer". Right now they aren't sure what to do with it! I bet it is causing a few slow downs in the import area as well. We are about to have our labels approved, and the TTB will let...

    Okay! It's taken 2 years, but I figured it out! WoHoo! I answered my own question--Research, research, research!!! You buy a brewery planner, do a market research survey, contact every vendor you'll need, go to breweries and conventions, find a site, write a business plan, have a pro help with the Pro For mas, obtain capitol, go to the bank, and...

    Hi Beer Lovers! Did you know you can order beer made without gluten (gluten free beer) online? Open Original Shared Link The shipping is expensive, but then again so is driving to the brewery! Cheers! Connie

    Open Original Shared Link Here is a link to take a short survey to help the brewery get started. Connie

    This is where I have trouble with the doctor's interpretations of these tests! If a test result is 0, then 0 it is. But, less than 3 might be 2.5 and still a positive... Less than 11(?) is still a positive to me. My son is allergic to eggs. He had a very low score, so he was negative by the doctor...but, the poor kid has such terrible reactions to...

    Things I wish everyone knew about celiac: 1.) You're born with it, you will die having it, and you will live all your years inbetween being celiac--whether it shows itself or not! --You don't "outgrow" it, your body becomes stronger and "lives" with it better. That is why it is easier seen in the very young and the very old--their immune systems...

    I have a favorite flour mix, if you can find the ingredients... It is all rice flour, no need for xanthan gum (or any other binder!), and it cooks just like wheat flour! Open Original Shared Link Happy baking! Connie gluten-free since 1-'98

    I'm not exactly a frou-frou girl, so I don't know technically what they are called, but the look kinda like a fiberous synthetic loofa... (or the center of a floor buffing pad)! And, they come with a sponge on the other side... ..mine is pink... LOL!! Does that help any? Connie

    One of those serious scrubby pads (for the skin) will take it away, but I think it is a skin reaction from a food allergy. I'm allergy to soy, and if I eat it, I get the flaky forehead skin, too. If I don't eat soy, I don't get it. Get it? Everyone has their own unique allergies! It probabily won't even be soy for you--but, it's as good as any to...

    I make biscuts all the time! (sometimes twice in a day!) Connie's All Rice Biscuts 3 cups All Rice flour blend 5 level Tablespoons Baking powder 1 teasp salt 1/2 stick butter milk--just enough to make the dough right... (1/8 teasp chili powder 1/4 teasp mustard powder 1 teasp garlic powder All for flavor and can be omitted...

    Hi Del, Open Original Shared Link This is the BRM white rice flour (I wish there was a picture of the bag!) Open Original Shared Link This one is just as good as Bob's--and there is a picture! I use either and both. The bag you found that was just labled "Rice Four" at the Asian store is the right one. So is the "Glutenous Rice Four...

    Don't worry about the term! As long as it is rice gluten you will be fine. Besides, if you've ever eaten rice, you've eaten some rice gluten already. Connie

    I noticed that soy bothered me just a little at first, then smaller quantities began to bother me... Now, I can't eat any amount of soy unless I want discomfort! I don't mind giving up the tofu, but even lecithin in chocolate bothers me now!! Keep an eye on your soy reactions! Connie SF for a few years now.

    Is it that nasty orange soda drink? It tastes terrible!! But, unfortunatley for us, it is gluten-free. But, you can still call the nurse and get the phone number for the company if you want. Connie ~who refused to drink it!

    Yes, I mash them--just a bit! I made a giant Toll House Cookie for a B-day party this week. I used a rolling pin to mash that one! It baked well, didn't crumble, and was yummy! The kids loved it! Warm cookies will crumble to the touch. If you want your cookies less hard/crunchy, try putting them in a sealed container until they soften up...

    I had all kinds of trouble trying to get my son to poop in the potty!! He would only poop in a diaper, hold it for days, cry when it finally came out.... No amount of persuading would help. I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't/couldn't go. Stool softeners like Miralax helped a bunch, but the thing that helped the most was an allergy test!! He is...

    Hi Monica, I created this blend "to try to eliminate the gritty texture of the rice flour"! I hated that texture, too! The American rice flour is such a large grind it makes foods gritty, but when you combine the other 2 Asian rice flours (fine and very fine) with it, in a 1:1:1 ratio, there is no gritty feel. And, no need for xanthan gum. Give...
  21. Connie R-E
    I've tried a few different combinations as well and they didn't turn out either! So, for the best results use a 1:1:1 ratio=1 part American rice flour, 1 part Asian rice flour, 1 part Glutenous rice flour. And, just use this mix for all the flour.... It's worth trying to find the flours, really!! Connie gluten-free since 1-'98

    I haven't yet tried it in a yeast bread recipe, but it works great in flat breads--and everything else I've tried it in!! I just bought a 2nd hand, never-been-used-doesn't-come-with-instructions Toastmaster Bread Box. As soon as I figure it out, I'll make some ....Egg-Free! Connie

    Granny, here's another one for you! My family has been going crazy over this recipe! It's very crusty. Connie's Rice Biscuts 3 cups All Rice Flours (see below) 3 teaspoons Baking Powder 2/3 cup Butter 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspon mustard powder 1/4 teaspoon chili powder 2/3 cup+ buttermilk (or, just enough to make the dough "ball...

    Hi Carmen, Good question! I baked cookies with my flour mix at 350F and they burned, but came out perfect at 250F. However, I bake biscuts with my rice flour mix at 350F all the time, and they come out perfect! Of course, I like them crusty... So.... I would try 300F and just keep an eye on it. Hope that helps, Carmen! Connie...
