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...

ARCHIVED Soy Cream Cheese

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? -
ARCHIVED Corn Syrup Substitute?
Chef16 replied to Chef16's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
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. -
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.

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.

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...

ARCHIVED Oats And Skincare
Chef16 replied to tan celiac girl's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
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. -
ARCHIVED Ten Months Gluten Free And Still Having Slight Digestive Issues Regularly
Chef16 replied to tfrankenberger's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
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... -
Okay, but to bee stings effect celiacs any differently?
-
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?

I've been gluten-free for a year now but thanks. I'll check out sulfites.

Sorry I left this out, I also react to foods that are cooked in any kind of wine too.

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?

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.

ARCHIVED Newbie To Gluten-free
Chef16 replied to Yellow Rose's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
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!!!... -
Has anyone had an Al CAT test? I'm not sure if I should have one. If anyone has anything to say about it (i.e recommendations, concerns, comments) please post them here.

I made a new post asking about a certain product and when I posted it, the name of that product changed to "Lame Advertisement". Are you not allowed to name products?

ARCHIVED What Have You Found You Can Eat? ( Pree Teen )
Chef16 replied to zachsmom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Peeps (only original, not low cal) M&Ms Smarties -You should get the gluten-free grocery guide. It has lists of common grocery store foods. It's a life saver, especially when your just starting out. They also have a resturant guide. Here's the link: Open Original Shared Link -
Thanks, I've been thinking about going to a dermatologist. It's weird because I haven't started anything new and have changed detergents. I don't think it's possible gluten because whenever I get glutened, I only have the gut symptoms. I also don't buy many packaged food except on some occasions, I make my food.

These are the best cookies ever! You don't even have to alter it! Here's the link: Open Original Shared Link I use white chocolate chips instead, (can't eat chocolate... ) they taste great!

Does anyone have any advice? I get these really weird rashes on my legs that just will not go away! Before I went off gluten I had started getting hives all over my thighs and I thought that once I went gluten-free, my skin problems would go away. Well, they did for about 4 months but now I have a new rash! It's kind of like eczema but 10x worse and all over...

ARCHIVED What Are Your "glutened" Symptoms?
Chef16 replied to LauraZ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My symptoms are pretty much a combination of gut problems. i.e. (starting about 6-8 hours later) horrible D, vomitting every few minutes followed by dry heaves, excruciating intestinal cramps (i like the glass comparison), nausea, weight loss (i'm already under-weight), uncontrolable shivering, ect. So far I haven't found anything that helps during the "attack...
