    I have used, in past years, both cornstarch and flour - a bit of both - mixed with water prior to adding to the drippings. I was planning to use just cornstarch prior to reading this thread. Dada, do you suppose that I can just substitute brown rice flour for the the old flour I used to use? Ie a bit of cornstarch and br flour, mixed in water, slowly...

    thanks everybody!! didn't end up shopping today as it was a really nice day to do stuff outdoors with hubby... So Saturday it is. I have my list of all your suggestions.... I hear the theme of saving money by ordering online versus retail. But, I like to try a product first before I go that route,so I will be supporting the local economy, checking...

    Hi all, I work in a clinical diagnostic laboratory and we are performing a huge volume of influenza testing. Our test volume has increased every week and we are significant number of positive specimens. All of them to date, are swine flu - no one has tested positive for the "seasonal" flu, although I am seeing reports of a few cases of seasonal flu in...

    hi everyone, first thanks for previous responses to my posts about making Christmas cookies and a crust for my tart recipe. I have tomorrow off and am making a minor expedition for gluten free seasonal baking supplies. Still haven't tried the Carrot - leek tart recipe yet, and its my mission to do that this weekend, along with trying a batch of press...

    ohmyheavenwhy, you didn't tell us, do you have a confirmed diagnosis? Did you go to a physician and have testing done? This is not intended as a criticism. There are lots of us on this board - myself included - who simply studied our problems and reached the conclusion that gluten could be a contributing factor, and when we didn't ingest gluten, things...

    I am really sorry to hear your parents aren't more supportive. I don't know if this suggestion will be helpful or not but.... Breaded chicken breast fillets are one of my daughters favorite foods, and something my mother-in-law (who loves to cook for us) makes frequently. So what I did is make my own gluten free bread crumbs, and supplied Grandma with...

    yes these do sound good! Just curious. What is the consistency of the dough like? when I make my brown rice basil crackers, I press the dough into a flattened rectangular shape on the buttered pan. Then using a pizza wheel, I slice the dough into squares... was wondering if you think this would work with your dough?

    I think I hear new shoes calling to me.....

    how long is "a little while"? People's experiences vary, but generally what I've gathered from this board is that it can take some time.... patience as well as staying gluten free is required! I'm just about at the 3 months mark for being gluten free. My rash was confined to feet, ankles, lower leg...and although I saw improvement fairly quickly, it...

    hi, I think we are. Thanks to a lot of people. Stacy, you and everyone else who responded to my posts helped clarify my thinking and my research. I was so glad that I got to read your responses before the office visit. I knew what kind of questions to ask. I didn't get into the "gluten connection" with him today. I confess I am gunshy on that issue...

    Thanks Stacy - here is how things went today. I asked him to explain the diagnosis today, and did indicate that I thought this was a life long diagnosis. And how could it be that this was just showing up in the last year? Because in thinking and talking about it, my daugther does not remember being bothered by it before last year (her junior year)...
  13. momxyz
    Thank you so much for your reply. You've helped me think through things a bit, and realize that another medication many not be so evil and may actually be necessary. I am going with her to her appointment with the psychiatrist today. I do want to understand more about this diagnosis, because although there certainly a lot of current things going on...

    putting this back on the active list.... mom is despairing again... so please help! In review, alhtough I had hoped to avoid meds for my daughter, and tho her depression had improved since she went off BCP and went gluten free, anxiety was still an issue and they put her on Zoloft at the end of September. Ths psychiatrist did not feel this was necessarily...

    ARCHIVED Itch-o-rama!

    momxyz replied to momxyz's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    thanks for the explanation on the different types of lotions. I can see how the stockings would be helpful; I've been doing something sort of similar. My worst spots are from the ankle to mid calf. After applying the lotion, I wrap a single layer of gauze around my legs in those region, then put on pantyhose. Not pretty but I normally wear pants to...

    hi sparky, I do understand the temptation to "try to get away with it" as my own symptoms are pretty much limited to a skin rash, that is healing on a gluten free diet. Tho in retrospect, I always considered a certain amount of flatulence "normal". anyhoo, you do have to be careful. As others have pointed out, the tendency is, that the longer...

    if you asked that question to my husband (who can eat gluten) he would say "NOT" cuz I am way more tolerant of alchohol than he is We're kind of like Jack Spratt and his wife. The inability to efficiently metabolize alcohol is geneticallyl influenced. However, it is probably separately acquired from the tendency towards gluten intolerance (also...

    I noticed that you didn't mention any anti-gliadin antibodies, either IgG or IgA. Anti-Gliadin IgG is considered a sensitive indicator, but it is also not considered very specific. Meaning it potentially could be positive in the absence of celiac disease. In my humble opinion, that is because A) the accepted diagnostic criteria for celiacs is antibodies...

    okay I am risking bragging here... hoping I won't experience the retribution of an outbreadk I got this rash, last October (2008) on my feet, ankles, and upper lower legs that made it impossible to wear a dress! Fortunately my job makes nice pants an acceptable alternative. That's ok in the winter and early spring.... but I had a real issue in...

    my little brother had quite the scar from his operation. My mother used to tell him he was special, like one of Dr. Seuss's Star Bellied Sneetches.

    I did do some googling, but I couldn't come up with any references that indicated a link or a causal relationship between pyloric stenosis or celiac or gluten intolerance. However, I did find out that pyloric stenosis is genetic. So if it happens that you have family members that had PS, and family members with celiacs.... it probably just means your...

    wow this is interesting. I may have to do some googling... My brother, born in 1960, had pyloric stenosis.... and now has diverticulitis. I have had a rash (now resolving on the gluten-free diet) that has many of the characteristics of DH. Another brother has a rash, also on his legs....his doctor is treating it like excema... My niece has benefited...

    well , that was one of my ideas, to search this site under the topic of "stuffing"

    thanks for the advice! looks like I won't have to play Scrooge after all!

    hey there, your "experiments" sound awesome, and I love your enthusiasm. thanks to everyone else too, for their suggestions. For our family, its decided, we are doing 2 turkeys. Grandma is going to do her traditional bird with her traditional stuffing. And me , I will be doing the "experirmental bird" with a gluten-free stuffing. Basicallky trying...
