    Hi Sarah: Here you go: Ingredients: 1 packet or 2 and 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast 1 tsp sugar 1/2 cup warm (110 F.) milk (I used almond milk cause I try and stay away from milk) 1/2 cup white rice flour 1/2 cup potato starch 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional) 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 1/2 tsp guar gum 1/4 plain yoghurt (I use Fage 2%...

    Hi All: I must share this triumph. I made successful gluten-free naan bread today. I left it under the broiler for a minute too long and it got too dark on top but it's not burned through. It's not as flexible and wheat naan bread but it's an amazing version of it. I took the recipe from Carol Fenster's 1,000 gluten-free Recipes and it worked. I couldn...

    Isn't it just? M is for MOCHI!!!! ~Allison

    It does seem that way!! I ended up with tylenol allergy and it kind of does the trick, so far, though it makes me very sleepy. I've done well so far and I am going to stop taking them until I need them again. Thanks for the reply, Tarnalberry. ̃̃̃̃Allison

    It's perfectly safe. Naked rice, that is without any pre-packaged flavorings is safe to eat. Sweet rice, also known and glutinous rice is also perfectly safe. Don't let the name mislead you. In it's floured form, sweet rice flour is also called mochiko and is used a lot in Japanese cooking. It's great stuff too. Hope that clarifies it all ~Allison

    I've been lucky so far but I've eaten out very minimally. I've gone to one bar/restaurant up by me on two occasions. They know me and I've told them I am very sensitive to wheat, barley and rye, and they know exactly what is in the sauce for the bourbon beef tips (no soy, yay!!). The other restaurant I've eaten at is a Vietnamese place near me too...

    I will make a note of that for when I go pick some up tonight. Thank you very much! ~Allison

    Thank you Patti. I will get to a CVS tonight and pick up a box. Much appreciated! ~Allison

    Hello all: I am either coming down with a cold or having Spring allergy symptoms or both. I usually get a little eye watering and some sneezing but this is a little more annoying. It may be that I am not "detoxing" but it's affecting my life and I need to take some meds to at least alleviate the watery eyes and the sniffling and sneezing. Can anyone...

    If I don't get my daily sandwich baggies of carrots and green beans, I feel like I have had an incomplete day. I start my day off with a banana and I love spinach greens. Vegetables and herbs that soothe the stomach are bananas, ginger, mint and basil, among others. Be careful though with eating too many fruits that are high in sugar. Fructose can...

    Really? God, that is truly, truly awful. I use a cream from a company I have been using for years. Open Original Shared Link She used to do the Ren. Faire circuit when I was working at them and her stuff is pure, made with only pure oils for the base and pure oils for scents. They are also not animal tested. It's a bit expensive, yes, but I...

    It's frustrating isn't it? Without a positive biopsy it seems that very few doctors will say that you have celiac. The GI doc who tested me, when I was coming out of the endoscopy drug fog, I THINK, mentioned something like you don't have to go gluten-free. Had I been more compos mentis I think I would have lept at him. I had tried going gluten-free...

    Lots of fresh fruits and veggies, if you are not allergic or intolerant. You can bring a bag of carrots with you and munch on them throughout the day. Leave the processed food to when you have gotten used to being off the gluten and leave the gluten-free replacer goodies from that too. Or use them as treats. Just don't reply on them. Gums, esp. guar...

    I have often wondered the same thing. But in regards to historical mental illness or how it was labelled. I once had a friend that suffered from very extreme type 1 diabetes and had very extreme highs and lows. Her highs were so high that people called the psych ward at times because they thought she was very unstable. Once you knew her or were around...

    What did the chestnut flour taste like? Was it nuttier, richer? I want to try baking with it eventually, with that and with coconut flour, too. Congrats on your successful baking venture. There's nothing like it when it all goes well, is there ~Allison

    Oh god! Don't you love it when you get a straight, solid, non-wiffly answer!!! Hooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! I am very happy for you and I am glad that you are starting to feel better already. May it continue for a long time ~Allison

    Ugh ... I have to agree with Raven. Don't go back on the poison and check the meds he gave you. Also, get copies of your results and find a new GI doctor!! I didn't test positive for celiac disease but I have my doubts. A month back on the gluten and I was walking undead. But I am not fighting the results and I am gluten-free for life now, with such...

    Isit: Yeah, I am also going through the tiredness and face breakouts, which I very rarely have. I think the face breakouts are the poison leaching out of my and the tiredness will pass. The tiredness has gotten better now, but at the end of the day, I still need an early night. It will all pass!! ~Allison

    I've rarely been out or gotten take out since being gluten-free but I have a few places I know that I can trust. One is a Vietnamese restaurant near me that knows all about food allergies. They are always very attentive and ask lots of questions and know lots already but they make sure that they have covered all of your food allergies. Another is a bar-restaurant...

    That's so odd, then. I just think of hummus as so easy to do and containing about 6 basic ingredients. I can't imagine what they would put into hummus except "natural flavoring" that had gluten in it?? At least you got an answer from Mac below. Now I wonder what is making her sick from it. I like premade hummus but it's never garlicky or lemony...

    Hummus is very easy to make. All is takes is a can of chick peas, some tahini, and whatever you want to make it your own like lemon juice or garlic or dill or sun dried tomatoes or anything really. You don't even need a food processor, though it does help ~Allison

    Hi All: If any of you are in the Southeastern Massachusetts/Rhode Island region, I would like to recommend a store I visited. It's in Tiverton, RI, just over the line from Fall River, Mass. It's called Healthy Haven and they are a completely gluten-free shop, but they also carry organic, diabetic, lactose free, kosher, and vegan products. But...

    D'OH!!! I didn't see that there!! D'OH. That is where I will add it then. I just wanted to let people know of this place. It's a really good little store and the only one of it's kind in New England, I think. Thanks, ~Allison

    I went to a completely gluten free store yesterday in RI. I'd like to add their URL and tell the forum a little about the store. May I do this. I don't work for them. But I think that people ought to know about them. Where would be the best place to add this? Thanks, ~Allison

    If I could email you a slice I would If it's one or the other, I'd say get a bread machine. I gave away my old bread machine - I was never going to get it uncontaminated!! It went to a good home. And they use practically every day. The big Zo I bought because of the fact that it had a rectangular pan and two beaters. And the fact...
