    The ichigo daifuku sounds beautiful. I really need to get some red bean paste, don't I? And that Hawai'ian recipe book too. The mochi pancakes sandwiching the red bean paste sound great too. Sounds like you could make a cake like that and cut it up into small squares, too. If you can embed the red bean paste between two layers of batter, why not...

    Ye gods, what a beautiful little cake! I will have to try and make that. The red bean bundt cake mochi also looks good. I love red bean paste, It is very easy to do and I really like the texture. The mochiko butter coconut cake is the fridge now at work and I will take it out at about 10:00 am for coffee/tea time. I have my doubts whether people...

    Hi All: I gave away my old bread machine (I will NEVER get the wheat and rye flour out of that thing) and I bought a Zojirushi home bakery supreme which I am truly loving. This machine will only ever be used for gluten free baked goods. One of the recipes on the Zoji website was a thing called Butter Mochi. Mochiko is sweet rice flour and it's apparently...

    I am finally getting tested at the end of March (2010). I know that I am gluten sensitive but I want to put a proper name on things that have plagued me for over 20 years now. I want "vindication" of sorts - cause I know it hasn't been in my head and it's a very, very real thing (the IBS, the exhaustion, the anemia, the aches, the fuzziness, the touch...

    Char: Don't panic. As I have understood (and someone who knows differently please correct me ...), it's anything that says "Modified FOOD starch that you have to avoid. That is very much wheat ... unless it specifies corn in which case it will say "Modified food starch (Corn)" or as your label read "Modfied corn starch" Look on packages of jelly...

    Courtnie: You're very welcome. People here are very knowledgeable. So please don't hesitate to ask any questions. I don't eat that much soy, I confess, but I know that I get it in the products I eat. I don't actively go out there and eat large tofu paddies However, you will figure the soy thing out in time, according to what your body...

    You can also roll them up in lettuce. Cold cuts are tasty that way too ... unless you have a problem with lettuce ... Nice to know that Hormel naturals are gluten-free too. They are sure A LOT cheaper than Boars Head. ~Allison

    You're VERY welcome I am happy that you are happy. I don't work for Boars Head but that info made me so happy that I called that 800 number and thanked them for accommodating people with gluten issues. They were very appreciative!! It's more common to let people know when they are doing things wrong but it's really appreciated to call and let...

    Hiya: Boars head cold cuts are gluten free Lookie here ... and smile!! Open Original Shared Link And this is from the FAQ: Open Original Shared Link Are your products Gluten Free? "All Boar's Head Brand

    Hello Courtnie: First of all welcome. You sound like you have a difficult schedule to work around. But it is possible. Anything is possible!! Do you know if you have any problems with anything other then the gluten (dairy, soy, eggs, etc.)? If you do then poses another level of complexity. Are you a vegetarian or a vegan? Can you carry around...

    Oooooooooooh, I knew the pita bread was out there. Can you send the link. Pita bread used to be a staple of mine. Many thanks! ~Allison

    [Hi Kayo: I think most of us here understand your frustration. I was "diagnosed" with a wheat intolerance back in 2003 by a naturapthic doctor after going through 15 years or so of feeling very poor, and having lots of intestinal distress. I remember thinking how do you give up wheat?? It's **everywhere**!!! I avoided all wheat and felt a lot better...

    Hello Reetz: Every BODY is different but when I deliberately ate gluten after about 3 weeks of not eating it, that is almost exactly what I got. My heart sped up, I got a wicked headache and my limbs came over all achy. I became exhausted and I felt like I needed to take a nap right them and there. I have had to go back on it for good as I am going...

    Thank you Faery - I wish you the best of luck with your testing too. And I hope that the rest of your time having to ingest the "poison" is somewhat bearable, but it really isn't anywhere close to that, is it? Hugs go out to you! ~Allison

    If I get extremely ill, I will contact the GI. I am taking no joy in the pot of water boiling the stove waiting to receive the spinach ravioli I am having for dinner ... As for the painting, I didn't do it (I can barely draw stick figures!!) - I found the jpg on amazon when they still had a card service. All I remember is that is was by a Russian artist...

    I know I am on a quest to put a name to what I have been going through for twenty plus years now. My gluten-free diet told me a great deal. I posted in the pre-treatment section that I am not back on the gluten and I am just so tired and achy and headachy ... but I am doing this to an end. Regardless of whether I can put a name to this,...

    Hi All: Well, in preparation for meeting with the gastroenterologist on March 31st, I am back on the gluten .... oh well. I went gluten-free for three weeks and I never felt so incredibly good but now, as I will be getting tested, I have to go back on it. I bought a ham and provolone sub with all the fixings. I looked at it and signed. And then I...

    In a way I realize that, in a way I don't. What I DO want to do is wait until I run things past this guy and tell me what he thinks. If I have to feel crappy for another 4-6 weeks, then I will do that. But it will be to an end. I want to feel as good as I can until then, you know. My little experiment told me a great deal, though. ~Allison

    Hi guys: I had an interesting reaction this weekend. I've been gluten free for about a month now and I wanted to see what it would do to me, having been feeling really, really good over the last three weeks. So, while getting some onions and some mushrooms at the store, I looked at the soup the the local IGA makes. They had cream of broccoli and I...

    Hi, I gathered that And that is what I am doing, receipts and keeping a little ledger with those receipts. If I am I will be prepared for next year's taxes. We shall see, ~Allison

    I am going to a Gi doctor as an informational session first. I want to hear what he says. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of going back on a glutinous diet in order to get a positive result. I don't know what will happen with a blood test(s). I feel in my gut (pun intended ...) that I am a celiac. Besides the obvious everything points in that direction...

    David: Don't get discouraged!! And keep going. I had IBS (still get attacks sometimes ...) - it was suggested I go ff wheat by an naturapthic doctor, and felt amazingly good afterward. Then I fell of the wagon for a few years and the toxicity built up again. I have been gluten free now for about three weeks - and I have never felt better...

    Hi All: I made some mexican for lunch yesterday and I've had the same for lunch today. I made some lean ground beef with onions and garlic and some green habanero chilis, and tabaso sauce. I had all the fixings too, including some guacamole which I made. Yesterday I used a corn tortilla. Today I used a food for life brown rice tortilla, which I really...

    Here is my story: I grew up in an Italian American family and ate Italian food all of my life. I never had any problems. No one else I knew had any problems. Well, I did have problems with dairy. I was taken off of milk when I was about 6 months old because I couldn't seem to digest it. I am 41 now so this was back in the late 60s. I couldn...
