ARCHIVED Gluten Free Beer
Connie R-E replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Open Original Shared Link --"While we are a U.S. company..." I think they are in the NorthEast.... Open Original Shared Link This explains the long hold up in their beer production. (I've been watching their site for 2 years now...) I wish them the best of luck!! (creating the recipe is the hardest part! ) Connie --homebrewer -
ARCHIVED Canned Food
Connie R-E replied to azza's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If you can find the canned foods that don't contain the other ingredients, you should be okay. I use canned foods that are one ingredient. (beans, peas, corn, tomato, tomato paste....) Just read, read, read those labels! Connie gluten-free since 1-'98 -
ARCHIVED Different Topic!
Connie R-E replied to YankeeDB's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I love this topic! Yes, kissing a non-gluten-free significant other is a good way to gluten-poison yourself!! We had a great line of posts on the old board about it, one from a girl in France.... (Ha ha ha! French kissing!) Many, many people reported kissing a non-gluten-free significant other to be a problem. So, if your looking for the hidden glutens... -
ARCHIVED Chewing Gum
Connie R-E replied to LindaB's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED Jello?
Connie R-E replied to azza's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We eat Jello successfully! Of course, we stick to the flavors without "natural flavors".... Hey! Look for Cozy Shack pudding! It's a premade pudding in the dairy case (or near the premade Jellos). It's GREAT--and gluten-free on the label! Connie -
ARCHIVED I'm Getting So Frustrated!
Connie R-E replied to Connie R-E's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Yeah... Welcome to the club, Alexa. It's much worse when it is your own family who won't do anything. With such a family history, it must be really frustrating for you. Since I'm not doctor diagnosed, my family acts like it's not real.... I know a gluten-free diet would help them, too. I don't know what to do with them! I just keep trying... -

ARCHIVED Substitutions
Connie R-E replied to romans828's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
romans828, Be careful that the rice milk you use doesn't use barley in the manufacturing process!! I believe Rice Dream does.... Just another thing to check! I've used coconut milk in place of milk before, and it worked great. Just another idea. Connie -

ARCHIVED Problems In Pregnancy With Cd
Connie R-E replied to laelfin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
laelfin, Yes, there is a higher incidence of miscarriages with celiac disease.... I experienced more than I wanted! --even being gluten-free for 5 years, and taking vitamins! My doctor noticed that my progesterone was to low to "hold" a pregnancy, so my advice would be to have your progesterone levels checked very early on--like as soon as you get... -

We bought a Rival Waffle Cone Maker!! It is a lot of fun. And cleans up easily. Now we can have our own waffle cones! (we can't have the storebought ones due to our soy allergy!) It makes really thin cones, bowls, and cookies. It takes practice not to burn them (cook for 20-30 seconds), but they are really yummy! Here is the cone/cookie...

ARCHIVED Fingernails Splitting/chunking
Connie R-E replied to VAGuy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Could you be low on calcium? When I take a calcuim supplement my fingernails always grow stronger (I bet my bones do, too!) I normally have soft, broken nails... And, if my calcium level gets too low, I start biting my nails before I even realize it!! Connie -
Duh! Thanks Crystal!! Connie

We use Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free Pancake and Baking Mix (Organic white rice flour, organic potato starch, tapioca starch, baking powder, organic whole grain yellow corn flour, natural flavor, sea salt, organic cinnamon). It makes waffles perfectly! Way better than any recipe I've found.... Good luck! Connie

Hi Granny, If the gummyness is due to it not being cooked well enough in the center, then I'd say, "Yes!" That was the main reason that I started baking my rice flour at a lower temperature and slower... If the reason was that it has too much liquid, then... I'd try making it again, at a lower temp. just to see--before I reduced the liquid! ...

ARCHIVED Flavored Yogurt

ARCHIVED I'm Getting So Frustrated!
Connie R-E replied to Connie R-E's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hey! PastorDave, About that grinder.... What kind of grain-to-flour ratio do you get? If you grind 1 cup of rice, how much flour would it make? I've been curious for a while (we live in Arkansas--not a high-income state either! ) Thanks, Connie -
ARCHIVED I'm Getting So Frustrated!
Connie R-E replied to Connie R-E's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Don't worry, Sarah, I know you're not mad at her! Some of the others have sent personal emails that were not as understanding towards her! (But, I understand why they were upset--and they included some great ideas!) I used to be rather "mousey" myself--until I just got tired of it and let loose my tiger! Have a great day! Connie -
