    I am the non celiac, my husband was diagnosed years before we met. When he was first diagnosed, gluten free cooking was a science experiment. He and the ex wife (or maybe just the ex) decided not to go out of the way for non gluten experiences. I find gluten free cooking fairly easy, with all of the products available now. How do you think my husband felt...

    Quinoa is considered one of the best sources of protein in the grain family. I have only tried one recipe so far, but I substituted Quinoa exactly like flour and the cookies tasted great (no after taste), and they held up fine, with no crumbling or loss of consistency.

    I just found Quinoa flour, and so far it is working wonderfully for my baking. I use it in place of regular flour with no extras needed....no xanthum gum, no extra flours to mix. I made chocolate chip cookies yesterday and my kids loved them. My father in law has made pie crust that no one even realised was gluten free. I would love to hear if anyone else...

    OK The Quinoa Flour works perfect, I used it in the exact measurement of regular flour and same baking times etc....and the chocolate chip cookies turned out perfect. They didn't flatten out like they do with regular flour, but that might have been because I used to much baking soda. There is no after taste, they are not dry, they hold together well ( no...

    I followed an extremely low carb (10 or so a day) regiment....although not specifically anyones plan. I lost 20 pounds the first month and continued to lose for another 8 months (a total of 100 pounds). Although everyone said my weightloss was too fast, I felt good and was comfortable with it. After the first 20, I also started walking. I went from a size...

    Ok Connie, Lets see if I have this right.....use slightly more of the rice flour mix.....temperature down a bit.....and the mix will be stiffer than usual....right? I am going in search of the needed rice flours today, as I have been trying to find an EASY way to make my regular Christmas cookies and pies. I did get some Quinoa Flour, which I haven't used...

    I am German French Irish & Scottish. Although they won't get tested, I am sure that my mother and at least 2 of my kids are suffering from celiac disease. Has anyone else heard that the rate is much higher in twins? My husband and I each have a set of twins and all four have celiac disease. My husband is Scottish, Welsh and more Scots. He was diagnosed...

    Believe it or not Maggie, many cold cereals are gluten free. Of course you have to go over the label pretty well. I was pretty lucky for thanksgiving, my inlaws are also gluten-free and we went to their place. My own family on the other hand thinks i'm exaggerating, or overreacting or whatever....my mom has made a point to look for gluten free recipes for...

    OK, now I am confused. We just added oats back into our diet because the level of contamination was found to be so low that it wouldn't bother celiacs. I have not seen any adverse reactions, and I have been using oats in place of bread crumbs for meatloaf, and as a crust for cheesecake etc. I know celiacs were told for years to avoid oats, but it is now listed...

    Even my digestive specialist said that the best way ( other than a small bowel biopsy) to tell if I was celiac, was to go gluten free for awhile. I would give it about six months. That allows your body time to recuperate. If you go gluten-free for six months and your still having the symptoms, you will no that you need to keep looking for answers.

    I went gluten free about six months ago. My boyfriend had been diagnosed about 8 yrs ago, and the more he talked about celiac the more symptoms I recognised. I had also been low carb for awhile and realised that I felt much better when all I was eating was meat eggs and cheese. As far as eating out goes, BBQ (sauce on the side) nachos, even subway makes salads...

    When my boyfriend and I first met he explained being celiac breifly, and to start with that was enough. When we go out to eat we usually choose a Mexican or BBQ place. Nachos have become a staple diet for us! In the resturant if I tell the server that he is "deathly allergic" to wheat they go out of their way to make sure no one gets sick. Although this isn...
