The electric "mill" sounds interesting but my own (limited) research suggested that a standard blender could also be used to make flour. Since this sounded more useful than a coffee grinder I went out and bought one last week . . . and YES it does work with flaxseed. My question now is: Will the blender also work with harder grains and dried...

Thanks for the responses. gluten-free bread is not available in Jamaica. Wish it were. I've found out that some bakeries etc here do use xanthan and guar gum. Unfortunately the distributor only sells them in 55 lbs boxes. So I'm now trying to persuade them to "break" a box and sell me a pound or two. About the oats: There have been two recent studies...

LisaB et al, Sorry I'm coming late to this topic. Is anybody still interested? My modest contribution is simply to suggest using Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) to control candidiasis. It's fairly cheap (I'm using the Proseed brand) and seems to be very effective, maybe even moreso when used with Coconut Oil. I've been on it for about a week and am...
