  1. I'm trying to perfect a gluten free and egg free bread recipe. It's perfect except for the moisture content. I don't want to add to much water or the top of the loaf will collapse as it cools. Right now i'm using Ener-G egg replacer. Any suggestions on balancing moisture without the top sinking in? Would using flax gel work better? Would adding more xanthan...
  2. Does anyone know where to find soy cram cheese? I saw it mentioned in "Living Without" magazine and I wanted to try it, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help me?
  3. I am actually trying to make marshmallows. No, I am not allergic to corn but I thought it would be interesting to try to make corn-free marshmallows since I can't seem to find any.
  4. Does anyone know of a good corn syrup substitute? My hope is that there is something simple that you can buy at a store but I'm willing to make one also.
  5. I personally don't use a bread machine. Gluten free bread is far easier to make than wheat bread. All you need is a stand mixer.
  6. I have been gluten free for 2 years so I've gotten pretty good at explaining Celiac (and everything that goes with it) to people, but I have these two friends who just DO NOT get it! They are twins and they come from a household where they don't even think about what they eat. I have tried everything I know; explaining what happens to my body when I eat gluten...
  7. I would just steer clear of skin/hair products with oats and gluten. Pretty mmuch anything you 'apply' to yourself you put on with your hands, then you touch your food, ect. In my case I also break out in hives if I use a lotion or something with gluten/oats in it so I have to be extra careful. Anyway, it's always good to be on the safe side.
  8. Ask his doctor about taking digestive enzymes with his meals. I was having the same problem after being gluten free for a while, to the point where I couldn't even eat an apple without feeling sick. For some people (including me) your body is so damaged from eating gluten that is partially loses the ability to digest food properly and absorb nutrients. The...

    ARCHIVED Bee Stings?

    Okay, but to bee stings effect celiacs any differently?
  10. Okay, so I'm not at all allergic to bee stings but I was wondering if getting stung by a bee could effect people with Celiac disease (or other autoimmune diseases) more than "normal" people? Since bee stings trigger an immune response, what would that do to a weakened immune system?
  11. I've been gluten-free for a year now but thanks. I'll check out sulfites.
  12. Sorry I left this out, I also react to foods that are cooked in any kind of wine too.
  13. I get sick after eating anything with vinegar in it, but I don't know why! Does anyone have something like this? Can you be allergic/intolerent to vinegar?
  14. Going to disneyland is going to be my trip since my diagnosis and I have no idea how to cope. We heard that disney is very accomodating for people with food allergies but we still don't know completely what to do. I really have no idea how to deal while traveling so any advice is welcome, thanks.
  15. I know what you mean! It's so great to be pain-free! The first thing to do is to not panic! You're probably at a loss of what to eat. Living Without magazine has great recipes, if you cook. You can get a lot on the website too. (www.livingwithout.com) In the meantime, you can buy packaged food. However, there are rules: 1. Check the ingredients!!!...
