    I'm REALLY jealous!!! A loaf of Udi's is $4.39 at our local health food store & $4.99 @ WF (in Southern Calif). That's really good news, wish I were closer, I'd drive over & stock up Our local Costco discontinued carrying Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour mix because of low volume, I was so disappointed.

    FWIW, here are the Wilton meringue powder ingredients: corn starch, egg whites, sugar, gum arabic (emulsifier), calcium sulfate, citric acid, cream of tartar, silicon dioxide (anticaking agent), & artifical flavors.

    Most flavors of Gatorade do not agree with me. I used to be able to tolerate the Original flavor somewhat but nowadays just avoid anything with artifical colors. Could be that something else in it bothers you.

    Thank you so much! I knew it couldn't be that complicated but I couldn't quite figure it out. Thank you again.

    I tried searching for directions on how to use the MultiQuote feature & couldn't find any information. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

    Thanks to RiceGuy and 2Boys4Me for tips on temps for getting dough to rise. It's about 60 or so in the house at night so a warmish oven (without drafts) sounds right.
  7. Maggie Mermaid
    Aha! Thank you very much. Sprouts was next on my list. Henry's has 3 oz. for $7.50 or so. I am also going to call the fitness nutrition store just to see if they carry plain dried egg whites.
  8. Maggie Mermaid
    Thank you. Yes, the Udi's bread is very soft and fluffy, like wheat-based bread.
  9. Maggie Mermaid
    Wow! Good job! Sounds good! Have to get some some egg white solids & try it out. Do you take the bread out of the pan before placing on the cooling rack? Thanks!

    Hm, will note that amount of xanthan for future reference. Is there a rule of thumb of how much to use per amount of gluten-free flour? Used 1 tsp yeast. Let the dough rise for about 2 hours (covered in microwave with container of hot water because house is too cool to let it rise in the kitchen). It rose up to maybe half the size of a typical Udi's...

    Round 2 Changes to the recipe: To increase volume (knowing it changes the calories & weight): Increased Tapioca starch from 1/2 c. to 1 c. Changed Brown Rice flour from 1/4c. + 1/2 TBSP to 1/3 c. Increased Potato starch to 3 TBSP to 1/3 c. Increased egg whites from 3 to 4 Increased Xanthum gum from 3/4 tsp. to 1 tsp. Decreased salt from 1/2...

    Sounds good! Just wondering if there any recipes using only egg whites (aside from meringues or macaroons)? DH doesn't like whole eggs & seems to be sensitive to the yolks but not the whites (really).
  14. Maggie Mermaid
    Tweaked the recipe a bit: increased yeast to 1 1/2 tsp. increased baking powder to 1 tsp. decreased water to 1/4 c. (used fresh egg whites) It rose somewhat but not alot, baked @ 350 for 35 mins. & it tastes good with golden brown bumps but came out relatively flat, maybe 1.5" tall. Baked the multi-grain bread from Roben Ryberg's book at the...

    Crazy idea here, how about flipping it over & supporting the sides or "handles" of the loaf pan & letting it cool? Homemade angel food cakes are cooled by turning them over & putting the pan ontop of an empty wine bottle thru the middle part (where the hole is) so the cake part doesn't collapse. Does that make sense? Just a thought. Kudos...

    Take a look at the following post by Wolicki about a gluten-free restaurant in the Fullerton/Anaheim area: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=65566

    If he had the regular soy sauce, it has wheat in it. Also, it could've just been a bit of bad fish. Some celiacs can be sensitive to iodine in fish although I'm not sure it would cause diarreha, maybe cause a skin reaction.

    Mother's Market has a brochure that lists all their gluten-free foods. Henrys Market also has tags on their shelves that identify gluten-free products.

    Update: checked for the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour at a local Costco in South Orange County in Calif. & they used to carry it but it was discontinued. The manager checked in the general LA area & it was discontinued elsewhere as well. Boo!
  20. Maggie Mermaid
    Well, no, I'd never heard of that. Frankly, she should be aware that silent damage could be occuring while she's knowingly eating gluten.

    Love, love, love this cookbook! Just made the Sweet Muffins (potato starch-based) tonight for hubby & mixed in fresh blueberries, shredded coconut, and cinnamon for variety. I bake using recipes from this cookbook 3-4 times a month. The single flour recipes really helped us navigate around other food intolerances.

    Thanks for adding back in the poster's location!

    It's possible to have Fructose Intolerance although you could just be reacting because your digestive system is extremely sensitive right now. In Janice Vickerstaff Joneja's book "Dealing with Food Allergies", the fruits allowed in the Disaccharide-free diet are: Berries (fresh or frozen in their own juice); cherry, currants, damson plums, raw figs, guava...

    Update on the gluten-free pizza at First Class Pizza at the Irvine Blvd. & Sand Canyon location: Call first to confirm that they have the gluten-free pizza dough available. We've been calling for quite a few weeks and they never seem to have it. They haven't said it's discontinued but lately it hasn't been available for a number of weeks. Save yourself...

    I also miss seeing everyone's locations, especially when they're excited about a new restaurant or food source.
