    ARCHIVED Acid Reflux

    lobita posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi all, I've been on a gluten-free diet for over ten years, but now my mother has just been diagnosed with acid reflux. My instict is to tell her to go on an elimination diet and avoid gluten, even though her doctor didn't tell her to do this. I found one discussion on here talking about people prior to going gluten-free dealing with acid reflux. I was...

    Rice flour really shouldn't be the sole flour used in gluten-free baking. It should only be a component of your baking flour, which should have a mixture of all different kinds of flours like millet, sorghum, tapioca, potato, etc. Maybe pick up "Gluten-Free Baking" by Analisa Roberts. It's a good book to get started with gluten-free baking until you get a...

    I'm right there with you. I remember reading years ago about how scientists were trying to cross-pollinate wheat with corn to make a heartier corn plant. I was terrified, but haven't heard anything else about that. I wonder why the scientific community is so quick to come up with complicated fixes rather than try to find out WHY celiac disease is 4x more...

    Argh! That sucks! I always loved to buy Wal-Mart's lunch meats because of the gluten-free label. Another one bites the dust, I guess.

    Here's a tip Teacher: Shop at Wal-Mart for more than just non-grocery items. A lot of the Great Value products actually say gluten-free on them, and they are MUCH cheaper (one of the best GV gluten-free products is soy sauce). And I cut my costs WAY down with another more controversial method. I live in Chicago and there is a sizeable Indian population...

    I know there's an Outback on the strip and I ate at a Chipotle(I've not had problems with their burrito bowls with no tortillas and no meat, but some have, so that's up to you). A short cab ride away is a PF Changs. Also, if money isn't really a problem, I ate at an upscale restaurant in Harrah's (can't remember the name, but it over looks the strip) and...

    I love this topic. I ventured out this year and tried gluten-free oats and was able to tolerate them! So my fav recipe was one I adapted from Cook Illustrated, their Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal with Dried Cherries. I substitute Craisins for the dried cherries. 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (I usually put in a mix of gluten-free flours, like 3/4 c...

    I usually use it in place of recipes that call for bean flours since I don't like the taste of those. I really can't taste the soy and I think it has a higher protein content than rice flour. Just like any gluten-free flour, I wouldn't use soy alone, but in combo with rice, tapioca, sorghum, etc.

    Yep, that pretty much sums it up; no drug money to make on us. Nice world we live in, huh? I love the posts on this thread. Very cathartic and comforting to read comments from people with experiences so similar to mine. This has basically been said in many different ways already, but when you've been sick for so long and then you start on this lifestyle...

    I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time this year and I'm really pleased with how everything turned out (except for the gravy, I have to come up with something better next year). I think my favorite was the cornbread stuffing...homemade cornbread with sausage, onion, sage, and celery. Yum. I was going to have cornbread muffins, but they came out a little...

    Hi all, I saw this article on the widening definition for having a disability and it focuses on people being covered with things like diabetes. I was wondering if there could be an effor to get people with celiac disease/gluten intolerance to be included as well? This is the article: Open Original Shared Link
  12. lobita
    I always use the gluten-free pizza crust recipe on epicurious: Open Original Shared Link It takes a little practice working with the really sticky dough, but with rice-floured hands and quick movements, the dough will eventually get into place.

    Yep. My brother and I both have celiac, and we both have alopecia. We've both been on the diet more than 10 years, but I still struggle with about 60% of constant hair loss (I mostly manage by wearing head bands to cover the bare spots). My brother never got his hair back. His fell out when he was a lot younger, though (12 years old to my 18 years old)...

    If it's like the Allergy Expo that happened in Chicago last spring, I'd definitely go. They had a bunch of companies and speakers, with tons of samples and lots of goodies to take home. We had a blast.

    I say this with much love: The mix up with the name of Bob's Red Mill with "Big Bob's" completely cracked me up. I think I'm forever going to think of that when seeing Bob's Red Mill products in the store. Tee-hee

    Maybe those mixes have too much tapioca flour in them. I've noticed Pamela's bread flour mix has that doughy problem. I usually mix my own flours and use very little tapioca flour about 30% if that.

    I just made a dutch apple pie, where I pre-cooked the crust in the oven and the apples on the stove top (separately, obviously), then mixed the cooked apples with some heavy cream and raisins. It didn't require any thickener. For the topping, I made a gluten-free streussel-like topping. Came out super yummie!

    Sometimes I put a little olive oil in a stockpot and saute some garlic, celery, carrots and onions, then throw in some dry rice and let the rice get coated with oil and golden (becareful not to burn it). After that I throw in either water or chicken stock or both, and season it with salt. It changes up just the plain ole rice taste.

    I agree with that. I've seen the pub problem happen as well (yay fellow editors!). Also, I think the problem is that the article isn't aimed at those of us on the board. I'm assuming that most of us have gone through horrific medical problems and once we found that going gluten-free changed some if not all of those problems, it became panacea for us. But...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    For some reason, Starbucks reg. coffee sometimes bothers me, but I don't think it's because of gluten. I wonder if you tried getting an Americano (shot of espresso w/ hot water). I've never had a problem with that.
  22. lobita
    I've never had any problem with their gluten-free labeled products. And really, I love Wal-Mart for what they've done w/ labeling. It proves that EVERY big food company can do it. Thank you, Wal-Mart!

    Me too. I had the brain fog the next day after drinking some. I'll never touch the stuff again.

    ARCHIVED Acne Or Dh?

    lobita replied to pearjoy's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    I think I've recently got into a slight gluten contamination because my DH reaction is worse than usual. It usually happens on the palm side of my hands, and sometimes in between my fingers and if it's bad enough, it'll spread to the tops of my fingers. BUT lately I've been itching my calves and lower legs, which I first thought was from mosquito bites (I...

    I use pretty much any basic chicken pot pie recipe for the filling and substitute rice flour for wheat flour in the roux. THen I put it in a casserole dish and cover the top of the filling with a gluten-free pie crust. It's kind of tricky to get it shaped flat enough to cover the dish. I usually roll it out on a baking sheet w/ plastic wrap over it to roll...
