    I will check the Barnes & Noble online store--nothing like that near where I live. I appreciate your helpfulness.

    Thanks so much for your helpful advice. I went ahead and looked on (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) for the book you mentioned and saw some others, too. I will order from them. I've not yet tried soy milk even though I can buy it here. I haven't been able to try the almond milk because noone sells it here locally. Even...

    Within the past 7 or 8 months I've gone gluten free. I did fine for a while , then finally realized that dairy was a problem, too. I've bought 4 different books on gluten-free. So many of the recipes include milk in them. I'm questioning the Rice Dream milk as a substitute since I'm not sure yet whether it bothers me or not, but my real question is...

    Oh my, now I am confused again. I thought I definitely decided that it was excema. So the cortisones did help? Well, I guess I'll have to think about it some more. The spot was not severe like yours was, at all, and is for the most part gone now after 1 week of the cortisone ointment. I did have a biopsy a year ago for a sore on my leg. Turned out...

    Thanks for your information, too. I have been gluten free for 6 or 8 months, but have recently decided I'd better do casein free, too. I was allergic to milk as a baby, covered in excema, and have experienced bouts of it off and on through the years. Even though I have drunk very little milk over the years, I'm sure I have gotten it in other ways.

    Your reply is both informative and very helpful. That's what I needed to know. I've had excema many years ago (and as an infant too), so I'm glad to know what most likely it is. Thanks for your help.

    I am gluten-free and have recently gone CF too. I've not been tested, but know from my reactions that I have these intolerances. Anyway, I recently developed a maddeningly itchy rash on my knee. My doctor prescribed a strong cortisone ointment (I had already tried a weaker one and it helped some) and the rash is almost gone. My question: In trying...

    Thanks to EVERYONE who has taken the time to be so helpful to me and for answering my questions. Looks like I can broaden my eating quite a bit with all this new knowledge.

    Hi hilwacat: Thanks for the tip on the rice cooker. I haven't, to this point, eaten much rice since I find white rice so "blah." Is white rice the only rice you can eat to be gluten-free? Also, your recipes sound soooo good and I can't wait to try them. I'm anxious to get started. Thanks, again, for helping!

    Hi Julirama: Your trail mix sounds absolutely wonderful and your favorite meals sound like I will have to give those a try, too. I do already use EarthBalance, but use it sparingly since it contains a lot of saturated fat. I've never seen coconut milk and wonderful if it is high in fat too? Seems like it's hard to watch fats and calories when there...

    Hi GFinDC: I did not know that some folks react to the Rice Dream milk. My husband drinks it after years of horrible drainage and postnasal drip. Apparently, he reacts to casein. I've tried a little with cereal a couple of times, but not enough yet to determine anything. Thanks for the heads-up on that. I'll be careful.

    Thanks to you for your helpful suggestions, too. I wondered how you could make scalloped potatoes. I don't have any particular dishes to convert at this point, but I'm sure I will come up with some later. Thanks again!

    missy's mom, I'm looking forward to using your many tips and suggestions as well as the list of good products to try. I already use Earthbalance margarine. You are helping to give me the tools I need to eat more than just plain foods. Thank you!

    Thank you SO MUCH for your list of recipes. I've looked over many of your recipes and they sound wonderful and are a great aid in my meal planning. Sounds like I can plan to eat more than just plain foods. Great!

    I have been gluten-free for maybe 8 months and found it has helped a lot. (I found my problems surfacing after having a portion of my large colon removed due to ischemic colitis 2 years ago.) I've not been tested, since this continues to develop and my response to gluten-free and now determing that dairy is also a problem has been all the proof I need....

    Sounds like posting in a different thread is what I need to do. I'm just a 'newbie' to this gene stuff. You start talking DQ2 and 8 and my eyes just glaze over. Sorry, I'm not there yet. I'll have to do this in a few weeks. I'm off to the hospital in the morning for a partial knee replacement. Thanks for your advice.

    Hi ravenwoodglass, Thanks for responding. It sounds like you have really been through it! Thank goodness you finally were diagnosed correctly and got things under control with a gluten-free diet. Actually, I've been most fortunate to have learned so much about it on WebMD digestive boards. Being there actually led to diagnosis for another mystery illness...

    Hi jimgil, So, you are just recently gluten-free? Did you get an official diagnosis or arrive at it on your own? I've hung around digestive boards at WebMD for a couple of years for other problems, learned a lot about gluten intolerance, recognized it when it started, and went gluten-free about 6 mos. ago. I guess I probably should have some testing...

    Hi Emily, Thanks so much for responding. I just found your response today! I imagine you were thrown for quite a loop! I just can't believe I've had no pain whatsoever. And I sure don't want it!

    Hello everyone: This is my first post here. I have most symptoms (diarrhea, horrible smelly gas, stools that smell awful & sometimes float) of gluten intolerance and have been following a gluten free (almost) diet for several months. This diet has improved my symptoms for the most part, BUT I do not have cramping or abdominal pain at all. Everything...

    I didn't see anyone mention the Namaste Blondies. That's the only one I have tried and they are delicious.I make them and then cut them into bars and freeze. I just grab one when I'm hungry for something sweet. My husband thinks the gluten free things are awful tasting, so I was careful not to ever let him taste these blondies or I wouldn't have them...

    Fiddle-Faddle: Sorry I got mixed up in my last post which was actually meant for you. I'm still a newbie on this forum. I'm sure I'll get better with time. Thanks again! Susie

    Hi Ginsou, No, I certainly would not consider the Sunbeam a good choice for gluten-free mixes. Maybe they used to make them a whole lot better than they do nowadays. (Isn't that true of a lot of things?) You are really big into making bread with 3 machines! Sounds like you'll never be caught without one. Thanks again for all your help. Susie
