I've been using this recipe for a flour mix with success, but I recently learned I'm allergic to potatoes. 1 cup white rice flour 1 cup brown rice flour 2/3 cup potato starch 1/3 cup tapioca starch Is there a starch/flour that would give a similar consistency to the potato starch in my baked goods?

I found out yesterday from allergy skin testing that I'm allergic to: beef, lamb, pork, egg, milk, wheat, rye, grapefruit, orange, lettuce, cabbage, potato, celery, green pepper, peaches, strawberry, and mustard. I've been wheat free and dairy light (only butter) for a year now so the rest won't be so bad except eggs and potatoes.

Ok let me be quick about my situation. A few months ago I was told to go on a Gluten Free diet for life. The thing is they don't really know what's wrong with me. * I have had two celiac blood tests. One before gluten-free and one 9 months after gluten free (for a baseline in case I had to do a challenge). Both were in the same range of 12 with (...

I have classic celiac symptoms, but negative tests. I've had bloodtest, endo, and gene test. I get sick from gluten immediately (like within minutes I get brain fog, pain, gas, rumbling, and D, and nausea). I know it could be just gluten intolerance, but why would my duodenum be damaged (mucosal flattening but villi are ok). Has anyone ever heard of something...

Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful replies. I think communication is definately key. I'll call and ask around and see what the managers say.

I know the restaurants in my area that have gluten free menus, but I don't really actually like eating at those place (PFChangs, Outback, etc). It seems that the restaurants I do enjoy don't really care about celiac disease. Or nearly everything on the menu has some sort of gluten in it. Then the only thing I can eat is a salad and even that's questionable...

I'm O+

Good luck with the gluten free diet. I hope your partner responds well to it. My tests for celiac also came back negative, but I have had great results with the diet. After a few days my gastro symptoms and weakness disappeared. I was full of energy. I felt better than ever. Everyone is different though. It did take me a long time to get rid of other...

I don't think you should eat gluten again if you know it makes you very sick, but that's a choice you have to make for yourself. I would still get the biopsies and other tests done to rule out anything else. I had an endo/colonoscopy the same day and it didn't hurt. I don't even remember having the actual test. I was pretty out of it. I don't remember...

I haven't been able to eat Mexican food though I've tried several times. Even when I knew everything was gluten free I felt sick. Could it be the seasoning? Maybe you are sensitive to something else? Maybe it's just the spices.

I don't think I have as many splurges as I used to, plus as a single mom with 1 income I need to budget. Most of my money goes to organic veggies and chicken. I buy seafood too. We don't eat red meat, so I don't worry about that. I do a lot of baking so I end up spending a lot on vanilla that I like. I also use coconut oil, but not as often as I used...

My house is 50/50. It's just my kids and I. I sometimes make them glutened foods (sandwiches for lunch). I use separate areas to make their food. I have separate jars for mayo, peanut butter, etc clearly marked. They are still small so I make their food and I'm aware of what I'm doing. I wash my hands a lot and keep all of my work spaces clean. I put...

I've been baking gluten free cupcakes and I really want a homemade from scratch frosting recipe. The problem is I tried the kind that asks for shortening, vanilla, confectioner's sugar, etc. It just has a fake taste to me. I really have been trying not to eat dairy so it kind of limits what I can put in it (ie: butter). Does anyone know of a frosting...

It always happens at the worst time doesn't it?

Oh ya I've gotten that one too recently.
