ARCHIVED Aveeno And Other Oat Cosmetics
Maggie Mermaid replied to Jenniferxgfx's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
My DH no longer uses any Aveeno products just to be safe. I had read that oats may become CC because they are grown near wheat and/or processed in the same place. -

For cooking at home, there are chinese rice noodles that are made from rice powder and water. They can be found fresh & soft or dried in packages in the market. They can be used like pasta or in a homemade stir-fry. For eating out, look into traditional Vietnamese food, they have dishes that do not call for soy sauce. Plain soft white rice paper...

ARCHIVED Any Connection To Celiac And Urinary Urgency?
Maggie Mermaid replied to concernedmamma's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Does he drink any soft drinks? Some people's bladders are sensitive to something in soft drinks. There's something in the soft drinks that irritates the bladder and causes the urge for frequent urination. -

ARCHIVED Invited To A Tea
Maggie Mermaid replied to freeatlast's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I also have the same problem when I take gluten-free food to dinner parties. It's a challenge because I also like to sample what others bring. OK, OK, frankly, I just like to eat! Well, one thought, you could scale down some recipes of things you normally don't eat and take a few items so you have more variety. One idea: Cut a hothouse cucumber... -

Maggie Mermaid replied to MichaelJacksons#1Fan's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yep, love my KitchenAid stand mixer. Mine is refurbished, I got it at an outlet mall for a deep discount. No problems with it at all. I think it came with a limited warranty.

ARCHIVED Bags Of Grated Coconut At Indiana Grocery
Maggie Mermaid replied to freeatlast's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Haven't tried making coconut flour that way but it might work. I've found coconut powder at Indian stores too. It's a coarser texture than the coconut flour but might be passable depending on what you're making. How about asking the manager at the Indian store if they can order coconut flour for you? I store extra bags of shredded coconut in the freezer... -

Maggie Mermaid replied to GlutenFreeManna's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Add (to taste) tamari sauce to mayo and use as a dip for steamed broccoli or another steamed veggie. It's just something different if you like dipping veggies in a sauce. -

ARCHIVED Gi Specialist Says It's Not Celiac
Maggie Mermaid replied to Melstar23's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Listen to your body. If you feel better when you avoid wheat, then avoid wheat. Stephen Wangen's book "Healthier Without Wheat" discusses Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance which could be your situation. You can be gluten-intolerant and not meet the classical signs of being celiac. Just saying. Not doctors have the latest and greatest information. -
ARCHIVED Homemade Marshmellow Recipe
Maggie Mermaid replied to CarolinaKip's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I haven't made them but am also interested in finding a corn-syrup-free recipe. I think there's some science that has to do with adding the corn syrup and the fluffiness but that said, I did find the following recipe: Open Original Shared Link One thing though, it does call for using powdered sugar to dust the pan.
