    You could eat glutenous soups. Lots of soups are thickened with flour. Or you could make smoothies and put wheat protein powder in them. Open Original Shared Link

    Black bean burgers with lettuce, tomato, and pickle on Red Robin buns (they let you purchase extras to take home!), potato salad, Lay's potato chips, and watermelon.

    Wow, so according to the article, roughly 100% of Americans should be gluten free. LOL!

    I tried Red Robin's for the first time and was very impressed! I don't eat meat, so they made me a specially made veggie sandwich on their gluten free bun (avocado, red onion, pickle, tomato, lettuce) and I had their yummy steak fries. Their handling practices are excellent! They carry the allergy orders separately and even put them on a different colored...

    I think that no matter what scientific experts say, if a food makes you sick or causes you health issues, you shouldn't eat it. Plus, celiac testing isn't perfect, there are a number of seronegative celiacs. The study that was done that claimed NCGI didn't exist had only 37 people in it. That's hardly enough people to draw any sweeping conclusions...

    I'm right above Ohio--in the beautiful state of Michigan.

    Some of the contaminants in rice scare me. I try to use mostly white basmati rice from India, because that rice has the lowest levels of arsenic. Generally, I don't buy rice flour anyhow, I grind it from whole rice.

    Another alternative for oatmeal is quinoa flakes. Open Original Shared Link

    Ironically, my cheap eggs from Aldi's sank to the bottom just fine. Maybe it's better to just buy cheap eggs rather than bothering with getting them from a farmer.
  10. BlessedMommy
    My neighbor came over and excitedly told me that she had learned how to know if an egg is good or bad. She said that good eggs will sink in water and bad ones will float. And apparently a bunch of farm fresh ones that she had just gotten floated in the water bowl. Does anybody know of any scientific studies backing this up or disproving it?

    No, millet is an entirely different grain than oats and it's considered completely acceptable for celiacs, even newly diagnosed ones. As far as I know there's no celiac reason to avoid using millet as a cereal or millet flour in baked goods. My favorite bread has millet flour in it.

    I got a 25 lb bag of millet today and a 25 lb bag of oats that were both Golden Prairie brand today. I'm really pleased with the reasonable prices and the fact that it is certified gluten free. The oats came out to $1.64 per pound ($41 per 25 lb bag) and the millet was $1.36 per pound. That is not much more than the non certified millet from the other bulk...

    Another solution that I use is to go to my Amish salvage grocery stores. I find lots of gluten free stuff there for pennies on the dollar. I remember once I found Tinkyada pasta for 69 cents a bag. I think that I bought 20 bags of it! Other times I have found Bob's Red Mill products for 99 cents a bag.

    I don't make it in the breadmaker, but this is the recipe I like. I figured out that the cost of ingredients run me about $4 per loaf and it's super yummy! If you can have dairy, the ingredients might run you a bit less since dry milk powder is probably cheaper than soy milk powder. Also, you can buy almond meal for $5 a pound if you order online. My cost...

    Just got contacted by Ebay--this buyer's account has been suspended. Yay! Now not only can he NOT leave us negative feedback, he can't make any other sellers miserable. Time to look at reporting him to the Internet Crime Complaint center and maybe other avenues. The more thieves get away with their crimes, the more they will do them. Down with scammers...

    Understood! I think that most people haven't heard of it. I figured that people might think that I was misspelling quinoa or something. I wish that the forum had an option for putting the little accent mark above the "N" and that might clarify it further.
  17. BlessedMommy
    What were her favorite proteins and lunches before? Many, if not most, regular menu items can be modified to be made gluten free.
  18. BlessedMommy
    The other option if you want really cheap gluten free flour is grind it yourself. Being that you can get brown or white rice for $0.50 to $1 a pound, you can make really cheap rice flour. Whole millet (even if it's certified organic and gluten free) is fair cheaper than premade millet flour. That's what I do for my bread recipe, anything that can be...

    One thing that I'm also finding helpful in chopping costs is to stop the Aldi's weekly produce picks. (Particularly for the "Clean 15" fruits, as I prefer organic for many items) For example, this last time I went to Aldi's, their oranges were on sale for $1.99 per 3 pound bag so I got a total of 15 pounds and we are still eating those oranges! Then next...

    SMRI, do you live in NY or some other place where the cost of living is really high? Because here in MI, I pay $14-15 for a 4 pound bag (so twice as much as your bag) of Pamela's Artisan flour mix and that is at the regular grocery store.
  21. BlessedMommy
    I know that you have lots of foods that bother you--have you tried some of the more unusual foods to see if you can tolerate them? Grains: Kaniwa (NOT the same as quinoa), teff, millet, Job's Tears, amaranth Veggies: Bok choy, kohlrabi, kale, swiss chard, etc.
  22. BlessedMommy
    Absolutely! That is where I'm at as well. In my case, it's an absolute "can't consume gluten" for a diagnosis, as I had serious neurological complications from the gluten challenge that I attempted. I'm going to wait until science advances and comes up with a testing method that doesn't involve gluten eating. Either that or not bother at all. At the...
  23. BlessedMommy
    Nope, I absolutely would not go back. Sorry that you came that close to being glutened, and with a full dose at that!
  24. BlessedMommy
    Sprouted lentil stir fry for us today!

    It doesn't hurt to try gluten free and see if her symptoms improve, if all other testing options have been tried.
