    Is there any reason YOU feel a need for a diagnosis? I think you have your answer already as to how your body has responded after your experience at the restaurant. Personally you couldn't pay me enough to go back to eating gluten when I know how much better I feel gluten-free.

    The only thing I really drink is white wine, specifically Chardonnay.

    No need to feel like an idiot! We all learn a lot by reading this forum...things I never thought about before. And yes, CC can get you very easily. I know some people think we're nuts but then, in my case at least, they didn't live in the bathroom like I did. So perhaps we get a bit OCD about it just trying to feel well. Also, if you have a family...

    I would think you could use oven cleaner (like Easy-Off) on the grates.

    I replace a lot of stuff when I went gluten-free. I also bought a new toaster and several baking pans as I knew I'd never be able to get them clean. Not everything has to be expensive either (think Wal-Mart or the dollar store). I scrubbed my Calphalon hard anodized cookware well and kept it but did buy an inexpensive set of new non-stick cookware. ...

    You couldn't pay me enough to go back to eating gluten just to satisfy a doctor's "need to know".

    I would buy potato starch. Potato flour is not something used very often and then only in very small amounts. It's a really heavy flour with a definite potato flavor.

    I made a pizza once using gluten-free Bisquick...and didn't like it at all. The sauce soaked into the crust. I didn't notice an aftertaste but the crust tasted more like a biscuit, not a pizza crust. That may be due to the fact that it lacked yeast. On the other hand, I think the pancakes were really good.

    I made something very similar years ago and called them potato pancakes. Very yummy and I sorta forgot about them. I served them with applesauce.

    Well, since I couldn't make it to love2travel's house, I had oven fried chicken, baby red potatoes and a tossed salad plus a glass of Chardonnay. When you live alone, sometimes dinner is a miracle.

    Tuna sandwich on Udi's bread and Lay's Stax potato chips. Hey, it's food and it's real.

    Creamy Potato Soup 1 pkg. Bear Creek Creamy Potato Soup (11 oz. size) 8 cups water 2 med. peeled and finely diced potatoes (I use red potatoes) Cook until done...15 min. or so Add: 1 lb. breakfast sausage - either pork or turkey (crumbled, fried and drained well) 1 pkg. mixed veggies (I use Birds Eye Steamfresh Mixed Veggies...I microwave them...

    I can totally relate. I would not have been an effective juror, which would not have been fair to either the prosecution or defense.

    I was called for jury duty early after my celiac diagnosis and there was no way I felt I could serve as I had so many bathroom issues...I think the only way would have been for me to not eat at all. The first jury trial was a murder case and lasted an entire week and it was late Fri. evening before the jury finished deliberations. Since I had so many...

    You mean to use lemon extract in lieu of lemon peel and lemon juice? Or in addition to it? The icing as I listed it is pretty lemony (as in yummy)...I'd definitely be doing a lot of tasting to make sure it wouldn't be overkill. ETA: Maybe everyone else's icing comes out of a can? Actually Betty Crocker has a number of frostings that are gluten...

    RiceGuy, have you ever used sparkling water in any of your bread experiments? I've run across that suggestion several times...supposedly to give bread a better "lift"? FWIW, King Arthur Flour has a 9x4x4" loaf pan. "Taller, narrower 9" x 4" x 4"-deep pan is ideal for gluten-free yeast loaves, which require more support as they rise and bake. The extra...

    Definitely yes! Especially if you have a stand mixer. Here's a recipe for gluten-free French Bread, which is the first bread I made after I bought my KitchenAid mixer: Open Original Shared Link It's gotten a lot of good reviews. One of the best cookbooks I've bought is Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts. I've had pretty good success...

    I've never used jello in icing (not saying it's impossible but have never seen a recipe calling for it). The Cake Mix Doctor does use instant pudding in some of her gluten-free cakes, which I'm guessing would add moisture or help them stay moist longer. How about a 7-minute icing (the fluffy kind)? Have you ever tried it?

    If you have a cake that would be good with lemon buttercream frosting, here's a good one to try Open Original Shared Link Lemon Buttercream Frosting 2 cups powdered sugar 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Or how about a mocha made with chocolate or cocoa and coffee? ETA: Can you use...

    I live alone so find it's best to store my homemade bread in the freezer. I package it in sandwich bags with two slices per package (and they all go into a ZipLoc freezer bag). Let us know if you find any bread recipes that turn out especially well...I'm always looking for winning bread recipes.
  22. sa1937
    Sounds yummy! I bet the mayo would keep it moist. Let us know how it turns out.

    I've been to the dentist several times since going gluten-free and have had no problem. I did question the hygenist about the stuff she uses to clean my teeth, which she checked and it is gluten-free.

    I don't have a teen either but for vitamin D3, I buy Bluebonnet from my local health food store. It's a yummy raspberry-flavored chewable and they have it in both 1,000 and 2,000 IU's.

    Homemade chicken and rice soup pulled from my stash in the freezer. And I have a loaf of banana bread in the oven, which smells so good (made with my favorite Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix).
