    As promised, I'm going to throw up a quick post on my efforts to whack out a gluten-free 'Xmas cake that wasn't a fruit cake for this recently past Christmas. 1. The three Orgran Vanilla cake mixes worked a treat together. I got a monster sized 8"x3" deep cake at the end of the day. 2. The adaptation worked and in the end I did a lactose/egg free...

    Thanks for the input! Sincerely appreciated! Gosh I do hope not. The only reason I opted for the Simnel cake was because of the marzipan and the family I'm feeding are almond mad and 'Xmas fruit cake has been asked not to make an appearance! We're on the same page as far as folding in the beaten egg whites at the last moment to lighten the cake. The mix...

    Sure come on 'round, I need all the input I can get on this one! We just outside Bath on the highway to London. I'll get the coffee going too.

    Thanks for the tip and lead. Greatly appreciated. Theres coconut milk in the pantry I'll give it a try this coming week and see what happens. Perhaps chilling it very thoroughly, will also help whip it into a cream.

    One of my guests this 'Xmas is lactose sensitive and I am planning on making up a smaller lactose free dessert for them or adapting the Edinburgh Fogs which call for cream. What I'd had in mind was adapting an Almond milk jelly or even a blancmange and using rice milk as a substitute for the usual milk product. Does anyone have suggestions or experience...

    Am planning to bake my first coeliac 'Xmas this year and for various reasons am adapting a basic Simnel cake. This also means I'm facing a lactose-free crisis as well. (However, I'm cheating since the gluten free flours can be difficult, I intend to use an Orgran gluten-free Victoria sponge mix. As it is, I'm not feeling too confident messing around with...

    I apologise if I'm posting this to the wrong Forum, so feel free to jump in and redirect me. Recently having undergone surgery, I discovered that the antibiotic, Metronidazole prescribed for me was maize based, while the very effective pain killers had a corn version. Neither are suitable as far as my personal tolerance levels go and led to some nightmare...

    Grouse is best "barded" or marinaded. Use bacon or slices of pork fat tied to the bird. (Goose grease if you can get it also lards up the bird a treat!) Remember to bast it during the cooking time. For the marinade red wine is traditional, bit of a problem since red wine seems to be "off" the gluten-free lists as I recall. Do a quick search and establish...

    It certainly seems to go with the territory from both angles. I was very slim at 12 stone when I was diagnosed a few years ago and then ballooned alarmingly to 18 stone - thats around 238 Lbs for 5'7", once I got over the starvation factor, due to my impossible work hours, poor selection of food combinations and skipping meals. Being glutened happens all...

    Deleted by poster. Sorry, my suggestions were not germaine to your situation. Best of luck with your dinner.

    You should really get your Doctor's input! And I do so hope you found a solution, Sunday was a good long time ago! I've just had surgery and became constipated. I'm not familiar with Miralax. But having had the same blockage and loose stools behind it, not to mention the dreadful misery of being constipated this is what my Doctor suggested. Make...

    This is something that I've gone through regularly over the last three years since my diagnosis and I turned fifty this year. It's very unpleasant fainting around the house while you're franticly getting a meal pulled together while you sweat, are dry mouthed, fuzzy, panicked and in tears. It is also a shock to experience this form of devastating hunger where...
