I diagnosed myself with Celiac's about a year ago, due in large part to the vast amount of information about it on this forum. It's been a rocky gluten-free year, but the health benefits I'm realizing at this point have made it all worth it. I feel SO much better. But of course, with self diagnosis, there's always a tiny bit of doubt, and the skepticism one...

My trigger was when I got pneumonia about 7 years ago and I was put on a strong course of antibiotics. Does it seem like 90% of everyone's triggers involve antibiotics?

Wow, that is so wild! I've been gluten-free for 1 year. Had all the usual symptoms before going gluten-free, but never DH. This weekend I must have gotten glutened, because I had the old D and horrible pain in my shoulder, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME I got a rash at the base of my spine. And I recently started cooking and eating SEAWEED! Is it possible that the...

Hi, I have Celiac's & Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I've found taking certain things out of my diet to have a HUGE influence on my RA. I can't eat potatoes, tomatoes, any kind of pepper, citrus, and various other random things unless I want to wake up in pain in my feet or hands. Have you tried eliminating for the RA? I also started using only natural beauty...

I don't have an F5 to press but now I know what it was-my faulty old memories Thanks, guys!

Thank you! Oddly, it now has come to be! My photo has become my avatar, as I wished. It just took a couple days to decide to co-operate, I guess

Ok, since no one responded to my previous post, I'll try a different approach: the photo I want to use for my avatar has uploaded easily as my "photo" but won't upload as my avatar, becausee it says it's too big, although it isn't. Is there a way to designate your photo as your avatar also? And if there isn't, perhaps there should be? thanks, Megan

Rice is generally washed or even soaked to remove some of the starch. This gives you nice, separated grains when you cook it. Also, if you soak white rice and then drain it and let it sit for awhile, the grains become much longer when you cook it. This is often done in Middle Eastern cooking. I generally rinse my white rice until the water runs clear. As...

Hi, I'm trying to change my avatar-I'm trying to upload a 24 KB jpeg and it keeps saying that it has to be smaller than 50 KB and won't let me upload it. The current avatar I have up was taken at the same time, and I had no issue uploading it. Help please!

I've been obsessed with root vegetables lately; therefore the turnip fries. Very easy-peel them, cut them into matchsticks, toss them with oil, salt & pepper, or any seasoning you prefer, and put them in a 425 degree oven, tossing them around a couple times while baking, until they reach the color you prefer. It's best to put them on a baking sheet that...

Trout with mushroom & wild rice stuffing? Side of turnip fries?

I've been subbing psyllium husk in equal parts for xanthan & guar in the recipes I've tried and had good results.

I'm sure your muffin top pan would work-I think they're basically the same thing, just called something different. I ordered mine from amazon. I've seen recipes for English Muffins on the stovetop, but never made them. The recipe for English Muffins in Annalise's book goes in the oven in the hamburger bun pan. If you have a stovetop EM recipe that you're...

Hi, did you buy the french bread pan with all the little holes? Mine has them, and when I put the dough in the oven in the pan to rise, it went through the holes gluten-free dough is quite a bit softer than regular bread dough! The next time I made french bread, I just put foil over the pan, which worked, but is kind of a waste of the pan. Probably the best...

Wow, working in her kitchen...are you bringing your own cooking things....cutting board, mixers, sifters, etc.?At least the things that are hardest to make sure are perfectly clean? Can you make any of the food in your kitchen & bring it frozen? That's what I'm going to try to do at my family's Thanksgiving. My father is making the turkey as he does every...
