    Please let me know how they turn out! I love a good biscuit!

    ACK!!! I wonder if the other coffee grinders that everyone uses here says the same thing?

    Hi, Dilettantesteph! This 'experiment' was only to compare the baking texture of (specifically) white home ground rice flour from a particular coffee grinder and store bought white rice flour. I wanted a very clean recipe that would show the rice flours without conflict with another grain. That way I could get a good comparison of how each flour did...

    Good luck on your buckwheat adventure! I was hoping to buy a bag of it this morning and try it out, but the grainery thaty produced it also produces wheat flour. . .so, I passed. I'm going to buy some from the links posted on this line of posts - I can't wait to try it! **takes deep bow** I may get the hang of this stuff, yet!

    *Baking Experiment* I finally did that experiment I was hoping to do! I used an old family recipe for biscuits - switched out the wheat flour with rice flour and added guar gum. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2 cups Rice flour 1 tsp Guar Gum 1 tbl Baking Powder 1 tsp Salt 1/3 cup Oil (I used Safflower Oil) 2/3 cup Milk Mix together...

    Yeah, that's why I'd like a product like this. . . we have a mixed kitchen that will probably remain so. . .and only one 'counter' to work on - a SMALL island in the middle of the kitchen. I'm never QUITE sure. I always hope. .. but I can't tell unless I eat it and it does/doesn't turn my stomach into a rollar coaster. It shouldn't be stressfull to...

    I guess that would depend on what the 'stuff' is . . .if it's a natural product that breaks down completely, then it wouldn't be an issue. That could / probably should be part of the request, tho.

    I think I'm wrestling with the same thing right now. I can make choices for myself to improve my health if I want to - but there's this issue of "Well, were you diagnosed for sure, yet? Is it definitive?" I have made the change in my diet, it's a noticable improvement, but I've been under cloudy diagnosises before, and it's hard. Not only does my support...

    A cold wet cloth - or an ice pack, if you can stand it, really helps me when I have a migrain. Changing my diet COMPLETELY helped - no migrains in a GOOD two weeks. But migrains have a lot of different causes. Oh. . .and I try to take a decongestant if at all possible just in case it's a bad sinus headache and I'm mistaking it - sometimes that clears...

    Yeah, I told him that the difference is like night and day, and I would be very hard pressed to start eating gluten again - because wow. . .the pain is GONE. He argued and said that the gluten free diet is like the Atkins diet - and I'd only be able to eat rice. . .I laughed and said . . .and potatoes, and millet, and buckwheat. . .he blushed and said, ...

    I asked for the labs and the endoscopy report, and they very nicely gave them to me. Before I read them, I talked to the doc. He wants me to stop taking the Pepto twice a day to see if it's the Pepto or the lack of gluten in my diet that's making me feel better. He took another blood test - told him I haven't eaten any gluten, that the test probably...

    **chuckles** My husband would enjoy that. . .lol

    I FINALLY did my morning routine this morning. It's either run the red light or just don't do anything. Ugh. . .I feel awful. I absolutely need to call the manager of the restaurant we went to Monday night. At least for the FIRST time, I had a normal bowel movement. . .**happy dances**. That's such an amazing rare thing. Heh, things to get excited about...

    Wow. . .gee, you sound so much like me!! (((hugs you))) - you sound like you're on the right track - that's a good thing. . .but also, even if this proves NOT to be Celiac disease. . .there are soooo many things that can go wrong with a body. Doctors tend to specialize, and they don't look at the WHOLE picture any longer. May I suggest that you do a...

    I'm so sorry you went through this. . .wow!! I've had prob's with anesthesia too. . .and it is sooooo scary. There are two things that work for me - I learned one of the two things from dealing with PTSD, and it doesn't SEEM like it will help, but it's a HUGE help: Get back on the horse. If you dive right back into the thing you are afraid of, the trauma...

    Any suggestions for a recipe to bake something with from a kitchen that hasn't been converted, yet? I did purchase some gluten-free flour and some gluten free pancake mix (though I'm rather enjoying losing this extra poundage - won't be eating pancakes for a bit!) We're doing a complete kitchen tear down, clean up and conversion this weekend. BTW, I...

    RiceGuy, I went by the store this afternoon and picked up some rice flour. I compared the two - my ground and the store bought milled, and mine is a 'little' grainier. . .but not by much - I mean the difference is VERY slight. I'm going to dig up a recipe in the next day or two and do a baking comparison and see how it goes. I also thought I might regrind...

    The books came in the mail yesterday. I bought these: (from (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) - though I was a little frustrated with the delivery time. I should have ordered them from my local book store and kept the money here in town, they would have gotten here the same day despite my paying extra to get them here faster...

    UH. . .well. . .I don't honestly think ANYONE was MEANT to be this way. . .but I think a lot of good can come out of it. THAT I'm sure of. I do know that some of the oddest stuff takes some of the neatest people to deal with it. . .or maybe it's a chicken and an egg thing. . .one molds the other. . .and vice versa? I don't know.. . I won't...

    You know. . .waiting to see if it's another misdiagnosis is, I think where my two children are coming from. I think you're very right concerning their understanding. She did make me a MUCH better mother. . .in a lot of ways. . .not just the ways not to be. . . honestly. She has some serious stuff going on, and will always probably be there. I understand...

    LOL! Dontcha want ta just find a nice big sock to get in the way of the air coming out when they say that??!! Empathy is a hard find sometimes. It's frustrating. . .my husband has had such a run for his money since we've been married and through out our friendship / dating / engagement. The man deserves a medal! He didn't understand at first why...

    That's great that you're decreasing your thyroid dose! I'm hoping to get off the beta blocker (for racing heart rate) after I've been on the diet for a while. My oldest son is the only one who will talk to his doctor about getting tested. The other two tend to be pretty black and white and know 'mostly' everything. . .**chuckles** My daughter's fiance...

    My family isn't very good at 'reality'. . . **laughing** but that's ok. . .it makes life interesting MOST of the time. I think some good game plans will go a long way, too. LOL. . .my daughter in law's mother invited us to a cook out when we went to go see the kids. . .held out a hamburger bun and said, "you can eat THIS it's WHITE BREAD, there's no...
