    Ahhhhh ... sweet rice and glutinous rice are the same thing then! I went on a mad shopping spree today in an Asian grocery and bought a couple of pounds of sweet rice flour but passed on the glutinous rice flour. I was thinking I needed to go back tomorrow and pick up some glutinous rice flour, but lo and behold ... I already have it! Thanks, folks. I...

    If it has more "gluten-like" properties, why isn't it more commonly used versus plain rice flour? Is there a reason not to always use glutinous rice flour? I'm new to this so I'm still trying to figure what to use. Thanks.

    What is this and is it safe? I saw it on the shelf beside the regular rice flour at an Asian grocery today. The ingredient list only said "rice." Thanks.

    Hi! I don't live in WV but I grew up there so your post caught my eye. My dad and sister still live in the Eastern panhandle. We get back to visit once or twice a year from south Texas. Good luck finding a support group ... I live in a big city and can't find an active one (looking specifically for children).

    I made cupcakes from this recipe tonight for the first time. They were tasty but nothing like "real" yellow cake. However, I could feel my arteries hardening as I mixed up the batter. There must be enough cholesterol and fat in those things to sink a ship! Has anyone experimented with a lower fat version? A related question ... why use mayo at all? ...

    The breads we've made using bean flour as one of the flours were not good. We like beans, but not bean-flavored bread. The bread I make most often does not have bean flour in it, and it's not a mix. I don't think I noticed bean flour in the pizza crust mix either, but I could have overlooked it. Hmmmm ....

    My 3 1/2yo daughter has gained almost 3 lbs since she was diagnosed at the end of June, and I'm finally able to get rid of most of her 24mo-2T clothes. I've never had so much fun clothes shopping in my life!

    We're still fairly new to celiac and haven't tried a whole lot of different brands and products. We have noticed a distinctly "tinny" or metallic taste in the gluten-free breads we've made. At first we thought it was from the brand new bread machine and would eventually go away with use. I have only made breads in it that are primarily rice flour. However...

    My 3yo daughter's preschool teacher asked for noodles to be sent in for C to use for art projects (stringing necklaces and such). I sent in quinoa macaroni noodles, but they're too curved for little fingers to be able to thread a string through. I need to find short little straight tube noodles -- or even a plastic replacement. Anyone have any ideas...

    My whole family loves the cookies from the Cherrybrook Kitchen chocolate chip cookie mix. However, I need to make LOTS of cookies for my daughter's back to school party, and at 5 bucks for a mix that makes 20, the cost would add up pretty quickly. Does anyone have a recipe that tastes similar to this mix and that makes several dozen cookies (or could easily...

    What purpose does the 1 tablespoon of potato flour (starch?) serve? It seems to me (and I've never mixed up this blend and am new to baking in general and gluten-free specifically) that it's such a small amount and would get "lost" in the large volume of the other components of the blend. Thanks.

    Are corn starch, corn flour and masa the same thing? If not, are they similar enough to be interchangeable? Thanks.

    I see lots of comprehensive of foods and ingredients which are hugely helpful as we learn what is, and is not, safe for our 3 1/2yo daughter. However, she starts school in a couple of weeks, and I'd like to be able to hand her teacher a list of things to avoid that would common in a lower school classroom. Like play-doh, glue, etc with brand names. I don...

    Which would be the kind we have.

    I wonder if Catherine "got glutened" two days ago somehow, and then I accidentally made it worse. She was just pure evil Friday night ... wouldn't go to sleep, screamed for hours, took off her pull-up and deliberately peed in the middle of her bed. About 2:30am she woke up with horrendous stomach cramps and diarrhea and wanted medicine. Without thinking,...

    Anyone know how they're calculated? The website only says "based on the total cost of your order." Is it a flat fee based on dollar ranges, a percentage, is weight factored in anywhere? Thanks.

    All these little sacks of flour I'm buying are about to break the bank. My grocery store sells them for less than I can find them online, even without shipping, and I'm going through them at record pace. I need to buy in bulk. I found Bob's Red Mill sells several flours in 25-lb bags. Given limited storage space, what should I buy to start stocking my pantry...

    Since my 3yo daughter's diagnosis nearly a month ago, I've spent every weekend playing Betty Crocker, which is not a role I'd assumed before. However, I'm actually having a lot of fun playing with my new bread machine. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage to pay for all these little bags of flour! Is it possible to get the various...

    Your daughter sounds just like mine! Catherine, age 3 1/2, was diagnosed with celiac a little over two weeks ago (although we'd long suspected it), and the change in her from being on a gluten-free diet is nothing short of amazing. It's difficult to describe the difference in some respects. She's sharper, less amorphous, with well-defined edges. Until...

    Is there a gluten-free equivalent of Shake N Bake? Or better yet, how do I make my own? Also to avoid any more likely redundant questions, is there a search feature on this site that I'm overlooking? Thanks!
  21. sixdogssixcats
    I'd love to meet people with children close in age to my 3 1/2yo daughter. We've been gluten-free for two weeks now, and it's kind of tough going!
  22. sixdogssixcats
    We have been gluten-free for two weeks now, and my 3 1/2yo daughter is eating well for the first time in her life. She still drinks most of her protein and we're now able to work on weaning her off as she's starting to eat so much and be able to sustain herself with "real" food. Prior to being gluten-free, her diet primarily consisted of kefir, dry cereal...
  23. sixdogssixcats
    I didn't think about that. Thanks. (Can you tell we're new to this? )

    I've been searching high and low and can't find directions to make rice pasta with a pasta machine. I know it's labor-intensive (done it before with wheat flour ) and I can buy all kinds of rice noodles at the store. I want to do it for a fun activity with my daughter. Thanks. Lesley Catherine's mom
  25. sixdogssixcats
    I can find a lot of references to it being causal, but none say why. If my 3yo's teeth are already discolored (not brown by any means, but not pearly white baby teeth either any longer), what does this mean for her permanent teeth? Anything? Thanks. Lesley Catherine's mom
