    I've been taking Chelation therapy for a good number of years now, but I'm older. I would not recommend it for a child with autism, or a child period. I have seen it do wonders for older people with heart problems, Alzheimer's and diabetes. I'm sorry I know nothing about licensing in England but if you decide to do this in the USA here is a good place...

    I'm glad this subject was brought up. I just bought a Farmer John ham, cheap. I went right away and looked at the label, which was under the price tag, and it clearly stated soy sauce made with wheat. I'm taking it back!!! Kandee

    And I just saved it in with my gluten-free recipe file....I can't wait to try these....they sound yummy, and cinnamon is SOOOO good for you. Thanks Claire! Kandee

    I use Essential Enzymes by Source Naturals. I've had great luck with them. The only problem is they don't have a probiotic in with them. That you'd have to take separately. I get the largest size bottle through Vitacost.com. I've checked into Digest Gold and they look great but are pricey. Kandee

    It's the "buttered toast" flavor of Jelly Belly's.....that is not gluten free.....for obvious reasons. Kandee

    These are the recipes I have for self rising flour. Frankly I haven't tried them yet. Gluten-free self-raising flour #1 2 tablespoons potato flour enough white rice flour to make it up to 1 cup 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon xanthan gum OR guar gum OR pre-gel starch Self-Rising Flour...

    I put a slice (or 2) in a small zip close plastic bag and nuke in the microwave for a few seconds, 10 to 15 seconds depending on the number of slices, thickness and if it's been frozen or not. All microwaves are a little different so you have to get used to your own model. I do this with ALL gluten-free baked goods.....homemade or commercial. Since bread...

    Doing a Google search I only found the same ones Stephanie found. My guess is that it has a natural coconut flavor to it (like unprocessed coconut oil) and would be best used in baked goods that are meant to be sweet. I may be wrong but the only way to find out is to try some. I see it's being promoted as being low carb, but I forgot to check the fats...

    You're very welcome Annie. I hope it works out well for you. When my friend first made it she put it in a pie pan, then cut it in wedges and put butter on it to eat. I don't know how it will work for rolls or buns so if you have any luck please post your results. I'm curious and I'm sure others are too. Kandee

    Meeting 6 - 8 PM at the Barstow Hospital. It 's awesome and we usually have a registered Dietitian, and a doctor or 2 who treats Celiacs. They all are always so helpful and knowledgeable. Celiacs from all surrounding areas of the High Desert are invited...(and heck, even if you're from Las Vegas & want to join us we'd love to have you!) Our contact...

    Annie, I just happened to have saved it when I saw it posted here sometime ago. I have to admit I haven't made it but a friend did who eats gluten-free and loved it...I'm so sold on the actual Chebe that I just mail order it in. Kandee "Chebe Bread" Substitute 1-1 1/4 C tapioca starch (flour) 1 tsp baking powder a little salt to taste 1 egg ...

    Merkita, It is my understanding that Almond Breeze does indeed have soy in it, but Pacific Brands Almond milk does not, however they don't make a chocolate version....I make my own chocolate syrup out of plain cocoa and sugar and a little water, or add an organic syrup to the almond milk that does not have soy in it. I find I'm even sensitive to soy lecithin...

    I use a Vita Mix..............have for years..I'm on my second one..and not because the first one gave out, but because I'd had it for 8 years and my warranty ran out after 7.............but the warranty is something to behold............I've done stupid things that were my fault..and even told them so, and it was still covered..the company is awesome...BUT...

    Thanks everyone for your input. damorekids---I'll definitely ask her to bring some Giusto..if she can find it. If not, I'm happy with the Tinkyada.............was just wondering HOW good the Italian gluten-free pasta REALLY was!!! Kandee
  15. kactuskandee
    These are awesome..thanks for posting the recipe Tiffany.. and Kasey's Mom--I buy those same think organic bars at Trader Joes...I'd like them with more cocoa.............. Now I can make my own....and anyway I want them!!!! Wooohooo Bette, thanks for asking! Kandee
  16. kactuskandee
    Anyone ever matched Tinkyada (my fav and a lot of other folks favorite here on the boards) against a gluten-free pasta/spaghetti made in Italy?.....called Senza Glutine, (I think that's what it's called... but correct me if I'm wrong) I have a friend going to Italy soon and I want to know if it's worth trying to convince her to bring me back some of their...

    Anyone of you great bakers out there ever tried to duplicate (to some extent) the Manna from Anna bread? Just curious...........I don't know what they do...but that stuff is sure good. I can't tell the difference between the DF and the non-DF. Also, anyone ever tried using Montino flour, which is in Manna from Anna, in your baking? If so, how much...

    Nature's Life carries an array of individual vitamins that state on the label they are gluten-free. An easy one to take is the liquid vitamin by Symtec at Costco..it's gluten-free/DF/SF It never bothers me...and is sweet!!! You can also take gluten-free children's chewables...like the gummy variety, but the dosage is very low. It may be what a sensitive...

    Wow, thanks for the info on the Altoids gum...........I've been eating the reg sized mints for years now, but couldn't figure out why I got sick on the gum when I tried it. Kandee

    Yes, yes. I too suffer from low serum sodium, even though I do salt my food. I've tested low now for about 3 years but have only gone strictly gluten-free for 1 1/2, and prior to that wheat free for over 25 years, after being diagnosed wheat allergic. I also noticed I'm low, but still within what is considered normal range in serum chloride. I was reading...

    Patty....I did the same exact thing when I bought the Kinnickinnick rolls. I thought it a bit odd they were so darn thick!! Works great and you get more for your $$. How do they ship something that stays frozen to you...dry ice? uclangel422....thanks for the tip..I made the Garlic and Onion chebe last night and you were right..it makes 4 nice sized ones...

    I keep BAY LEAVES in all my grains, both gluten-free and non-gluten-free. It works. The gluten-free flours I keep in the refrigerator, with a bay leaf or 2 in with them. It inhibits the larvae (which are already there in all grains) from hatching. I've done this for years and years..as long as I can remember....and.. I live in a warm climate. Kandee

    Try: Open Original Shared Link It's a pretty good one. You can also buy software from NutriBase that you feed in the info from a recipe and it will give you all the nutritional data about the dish. They have different kinds of software depending on your needs. Kandee

    I use Chebe as well. I've just started to make the hot dog rolls...4 to a pkg, adding an extra t. of baking powder to make it rise a little more. I make them like large, hot dog length (for big hot dogs or sausages), bread sticks..bake and freeze individually...and take one out as I need it and slice it lengthwise down the middle but not all the way through...

    I would look for some Rice or Almond Cheese then mix it, melted, with Vance's Dari-Free beverage which is not sweet like Rice Dream or Almond Milk. Then I'd use my favorite pasta...Tinkyada, which is a lot of other people's fav on this board too. You may want to try different rice or nut based cheeses.....not all of them are good tasting. It's been so...
