    ARCHIVED Am I Crazy?

    Deby replied to bluelotus's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I was just coming on to post about that, too. I watched it last night. Thought it was really cool. First, Allison (the mom) says that one of her daughter's new friends is "alergic to gluten", and later when she goes to get pizza she said something like "find one gluten free pizza crust, PLEASE!" It was really cool. I looked at my spouse, who...

    ARCHIVED Wholly Tomato

    Deby replied to micheleph's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Michele, I think it's wonderful that Wholly Tomato exists. Any resturant that helps with the gluten-free diet is to be appreciated! But like anything else, not every experience is going to be enjoyed by everyone. That's why there are lots of different kinds of resturants. As the gluten free market expands, I think it would be unrealistic to expect...

    In the disappointment category, Chipolte rice isn't safe either. I was at one near me and saw the line server scrap the unwanted rice off of the flour tortilla of the person in front of me, and put it right back in the bin. I had been watching Chipolte to see if they are safe. Since they don't touch the spoons to the tortillas, and many of the items...

    Hello all, just to let everyone who has been keeping up with the progress of the bakery, the online store opened. We have four products. Even if you don't want to order, I'd love some feedback. The address is: www.debysglutenfree.com go to online store click on mixes we are working had to meet our opening date for the on site bakery/cafe/retail...

    Tiffany, So Cal is not so far away :-) Actually if you have any desire, ever to open you own gluten-free business, we will be franchizing at some point. I have a banker who has said that a new site could be as little as a year away. I think it may be 3 years before we can branch out, but who knows.

    An update for any who have been following the restaurant/bakery opening. After much waiting with the city, we have been told, verbally that is, that we can have the building permit to start the reconstruction on the bakery site. The construction company is going to pick up the permit tomorrow, Friday, or early next week. So it's finally happening...

    Wendy, It's funny that you mention the gluten-free store/business idea. That's exactly what I'm doing! I'm in Denver CO and am just weeks away from opening by bakery/cafe/retail store. The most exciting part is seeing people who are in your situation able to have good food again, and to be able to purchase foods without needing to read every label. I...

    ARCHIVED Writing A Book

    Deby replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Publications & Publicity

    Open Original Shared Link This is a link to another celiac disease forum. There is a thread called our journeys to celiac disease. or something close to that. I know journey is in the title. You can look there for many postings about celiac disease dx.

    I hope it turns out Nini! I too love a good corn dog. I was at Sam's club and saw the big pack of Oscar Mayer all beef hotdogs. I had just posted that recipe earlier and that made me want to buythat whole big package so I could make a big batch of corn dogs. But I resisted...this time!

    I like to use a mix of flour for cake that has 1 1/3 cup potato starch, 1/3 cup rice flour and 1/3 cup tapioca flour. Add 1 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum and one packet unflavored gelatin. You can use this mix straight up for any cake recipe. If the cake recipe calls for eggs substitute egg replacer. Or if anyone knows of an egg free mayo, that would...

    LOL... My parent's and husband say I don't know the meaning of the word when it comes to cooking! For my recipe, you can sub a can of Rotel mild or hot tomatoes and green chili's for all of the roasted veggies. But it's just not the same.

    I know there are some brands of seasoning mixes (mex style) that are gluten-free. I'd just run to the grocery and read the labels on chili and taco seasoning packets and see which ones are gluten-free. I mix my own at home, but when traveling, I've bought them. Also, friends have invited us over and they have found the gluten-free seasoning packets...

    Corn dogs are pretty easy to make gluten-free. Mix: 1 cup gluten-free flour (betty Hagman's rice, potato, tap blend is fine) 1/2 cup corn meal 1/2 cup corn flour (finely ground corn meal) 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp xanthan gum 1 egg beaten with 1/2 cup milk pinch of sugar Mix until well blended. You may need to add a bit more milk ...

    Arrow root is good as a sub for potato starch. Tapioca flour makes food chewy, so it would depend on what you are cooking. Potato starch smooths and thickens. Arrow root does't do the smoothing and thickening as well, but it works.

    I was under this assumption too. I don't think that is the case, but certainly it seems that some schools react that way. When I brought up a 504 for my boys celiac management, the vice principal was uptight. It was clear from her body language that she didn't want to go there. Since I don't have any difficulties with my boys getting contaminated in school...

    ARCHIVED Migraines

    Deby replied to skbird's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    My migraines were also called plain headaches. I read some medical journal articles and realized I've been having migraines all my life. They are actually getting worse as I get older. They also run in my family. One of my sons gets them too, but not the other son, which is unusual because they are identical twins. I know not all identicals get the same...

    Betty Crocker frostings have wheat in them. Pillsburry frostings don't have wheat that I can find. A simple recipe is to use a can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 stick of softened butter, 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup shortening, 2 cups or more of powdered sugar. Cream the condensed milk, butter and cream cheese or shortening in a mixer until light...

    Try proofing your yeast in water with whatever sugar is called for. If the yeast foams, it is good and will work in your recipe. You might try storing your yeast in the refrig to keep it fresher. I have had yeast stay active for a year or more by keeping it cold. If bread doesn't rise, try omitting some of the flour called for until the second rise...

    The recipe posted from Carol Fenster's book will work well I bet because it has baking soda and vinegar. This would make the cookies crisp. You could also try not adding any levening (soda) that would make the cookies hold an exact shape.

    A doctor at the Children's Hospital in Denver (where I live) did an extensive study on oat contamination. His results were that oats are too contaminated for the gluten-free diet. The Dr is Ed Hoffenberg. He is nationally recognized as an expert in the study of celiac disease. We have him speak at our support meetings about once a year. His oat results...

    Laura, you are doing a great deed taking care of your grandchildren. Are you saying in your post that your doctor won't test them for celiac disease? My boys had a peditrition who refused to test. We notified our insurance provider and switched doctors. I've been giving a lot of thought to this 504 discussion/ I posted earlier that I had misunderstood...

    I just caught back up to this thread since I hadn't read it in a while. I have to empathize with all the troubles associated with celiac disease. College really is a tough issue, I agree. However, I still believe that children with celiac disease need to learn to cope with the illness, especially as they are older. Schools are for EDUCATION. Schools...

    Wow, Oprah's show would be great. Good luck. The Food Network would be great too, but there would need to be a cook who knew something about gluten-free cooking. I'd be disappointed to have a show cook gluten-free foods that are already safe, like veggies and meats.

    Biscuts that can also be used for dumplings. Sift together: 2 cups gluten-free flour (any blend you like) 1 tsp salt 1tsp xanthan gum 4 tsp baking powder. Cut in: 2/3 cup shortening (butter flavor or a combo of 1/3 cup butter and 1/3 cup lard, or if you are trying to go light, try 1/3 cup cream cheese and 1/3 cup no trans fat shortening. Personally...
