    Yes there are benifits. When I see people cramming down doughnuts and gobbling those wonder bread sandwiches, I just am so glad I'm not tempted to partake. Knowing how sick just one crumb would make me has taken the temptation away! other benifits are the flour flavors. I never knew the richness that I could add to my diet until I started experimenting...

    I had exactly the same experience as Richard. Very low cholesterol then had it climb to 175 after going gluten-free. Is your doc checking you for cancer? Is you doc saying anything about cancer at all? Certainly if your mother had cancer, I would mention this to your doc, but I would try to be less stressed about the whole thing as added stress can cause...

    ARCHIVED Feedback On Logo

    Deby posted a topic in Publications & Publicity

    I'm going to start marketing a gluten-free bread and would like honest feed back on my logo design. A designer is working on it, so you're not going to hurt my feelings. Open Original Shared Link please let me know if this logo on a product would convey that the item is gluten-free. There would be other product information, but this would be the...

    I use pretty much that same recipe and get great results. Try all brown sugar, replacing the white sugar for brown in the recipe, if you like a soft cookie that stays soft for days. BTW, has any one used Twin Vally Mills sorghum flour? I was asked to try some and ordered 25 lbs. The protine is +11 grams and 4.4 of fiber. The texture is smooth, not...

    Thanks for the feedback so far. The restaurand I'm invisioning would be like la peep. are people familiar with that. I'd be open for breakfast and lunch only. The celiac population of colorado is, by the 1 in 133 standard, 39000. 74% of the colorado pop lives in the Denver metro. I hear the concerns about restaurant stability. Those are my...

    I've been following the posts from concerned cook about his thoughts on gluten-free cooking. I'm opening a bakery in Denver and have the space to put in a cafe but I'm still investigating it. My plan would be to make a cafe totally gluten-free but still serve the foods every cafe customer is accustomed to. Since I have a bakery on site, the bread, which...

    I don't think the extra kneeding is a problem. Since kneeding enhances the activity of the gluten, and our bread has no gluten to enhance, I would assume one could kneed until the cows come home without any affect one way or the other. However, I've found that my oven breads do turn out much better if I whip them in my stand mixer.

    Connie, That last loaf did turn out, just rose too long. The texture is good. The reason I'm combining flours is to try to eliminate the gritty texture of the rice flour in my sweet rice bread recipe. This is the one my boys enjoy the most for sandwiches. The grit makes the bread crumble after a two days. I will keep experimenting. Today I plan...

    ARCHIVED Bagles

    Deby posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    I've been thinking of trying bagels since I read a post on here and realized it's been almost 4 years since I had one! 4 cups bette hagman's rice flour mix (the one with rice, potato starch and tapioca) 3 cups very warm water 2 tbsps ground golden flaxseed 2 tsps each salt, egg replacer, xanthan gum 2 1/2 tsp yeast 1/4 cup butter (could use oil I...

    That loaf turned out better, though I let it rise too long, about 40 minutes when it should have been 15. sigh I usually have a bit left over and made bagles. not bad, but will post with a new recipe so more will have the chance to see it and maybe try it themselves. There is a bagel post out there too so.....

    Deby replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Julie, I can't be any help except to say that I share a lot of your same symptoms. I don't feel bad after eating though, at least not all of the time. But I DO CRAVE SUGAR! My sister went on a sugar purge. It seemed like an awful diet, but it only lasted a month. This was supposed to stop some process, firmintation maybe ~ She complained the...

    If you find some that is good, by all means, share the news!!!

    Sigh, the bread did not turn out. I think there was too much fine flour since the other rice flours are powdery as is potato starch and tapicoa flour. I whipped up another loaf using a 2 to 1 ratio. 2 cups of my regular rice, potato, tapioca blend and on of the all rice blend. It's in the oven now. It rose nicely. The other over flowed the pan and...

    onamission I agree with your thinking. If you know your personality, and I assume you do, then get a diagnosis. I have twin sons, both with celiac. Michael was diagnosed first at age 3. He was part of a study here in Denver that is looking for causes of celiac disease. He got enrolled because he showed a high genetic predisposition. Michael...

    I am one of those overweight celiacs. I lost weight when I first developed celiac disease. I went from a size 9 to a size 2. I still have some of the clothing I wore and it wouldn't even fit my daughter. After years of going undiagnosed and feeling lousy (I would actually have a gag response and almost vomit at the smell of cooking pasta) I started to...

    Poops should sink as you get more healthy. Floaters have fat in them and that means you're still not digesting right.

    Rynauds, I never heard of that. This could be the expanation for my constantly frozen hands, nose and feet. Is there tingling and achiness as well? I have to say I feel for you. It can take a long time to feel better. Are you sure there has been absolutely no change at all? Another thought is that you said you had stomach problems for seven years...

    I tell people that I had a positive dietary response. I have an advantage though in that my two boys have celiac confirmed through antibody and biopsy. I tell people that I stopped eating wheat after my first son was diagnosed and that I did it so I could experience his disease to know what it was like and to have sympathy. All of this is true. What...

    Wow, Christina, those are some great prices. I went to the Asian market and found potato starch for about 85 cents a pound, that's better than the health food store. I just got a catalogue in the mail today from Bob's Red Mill. There are local distributors, Bob's claims, that I can order in bulk from. I would buy stuff at the store if I could get...

    Thanks for the website.

    I've got a loaf of bread in the oven as I type this. I used the flour mix for all rice mix for the rice flour and used the ratio of potato starch and tapioca flour that I ususlly use. I can't wait to slice it and see how it tastes. If this improves on my old recipe by removing that bit of grit from the rice flour, that will be wonderful!!!

    Hello all, I just wanted to let you all know, in case anyone is interested and lives in the Denver Area, I'm doing a bread making demo on Janurary 13 for the Denver sub chapter of celiacs. It will be at 7 pm at the Piny Creek Clubhouse in Aurora Colorado. I don't know if anyone from this list even lives in Colorado, but I sure would love to put voice...

    Tried Kinnikinnick today, local health food store had them. They weren't bad, but not like a real bagel. Does anyone have a recipe for bagles, just a real one out of a regular cookbook. I looked through all of mine and couldn't find one. Maybe I'll go to food network.com and look one up there. Now that I see what Kinnickinnick bagels look like (and...
