    I'm still learning about all these flours, too. I sorta went crazy buying gluten free flours after I was diagnosed. I'm sure I'll eventually settle on a few I really like and cut down the number of flours I have on hand. Sure would like to free up some room in my fridge. For instance, I think I prefer buckwheat flour over sorghum and probably won't replace...

    I store my xanthan gum in a cabinet by the baking powder and baking soda...no problem thus far and I'm sure I bought it a couple of years ago. Yes, it is expensive and thankfully it lasts quite awhile unless you do a lot of baking. Certain flours should be refrigerated so they don't become rancid...I'm thinking of bean flours, brown rice flour, sorghum...

    I second Pamela's baking and pancake mix. I've made the banana-nut bread a few times and it's totally delicious! Also, the new gluten free Bisquick makes great pancakes. I haven't yet tried Pamela's for pancakes but did use her mix for blueberry muffins (the recipe for the muffins is on the bag).

    Another thing you might do is a search for "gluten free cornbread" on food.com (formerly recipezaar). They usually have a lot of gluten free recipes. Some recipes use corn flour in addition to cornmeal. If called for, you could add a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk as a substitute for buttermilk.

    I'm also partial to my Calphalon hard anodized aluminum...I bought it back in the late 90's and just scrubbed the dickens out of it with Comet when I went gluten free. I think it's now made in China. I also got rid of all my old ancient non-stick and bought a set of T-Fal for those times I really want to use non-stick cookware. I live alone so have...

    Oh, I missed this thread. My computer crashed and needed a new hard drive. After paying $3.84 for a 16 oz. box of gluten free Bisquick at Wal-Mart, I think I'm definitely more interested in making it than buying it!!! I bought some sweet rice flour locally for approx. $1.50/lb. at an Asian store.

    I should have had it done sooner...like when I was used to living in the bathroom while waiting for my endo. While I still have some issues, they pale in comparison! I honestly think the hardest part for me will be the liquid diet and not eating solid food the day before. I'm such a munch mouth. And the worst part of the endo was the terrible bloating...

    Is that product used for a CT scan or a colonoscopy?
  9. sa1937
    Thanks! I know it's a pretty routine procedure...now if only the prep wasn't so ugly. lol Definitely! I even had my pharmacist at RiteAid print out the ingredients of any meds I take, including eye drops.

    I have not yet had a colonoscopy but it's on the agenda soon...my DIL's side of the family has been dealing with some serious health issues. Since that's just now over, my son said to go ahead and schedule one, which I'll do on Mon. I can't say I was crampy following my Ct scan but had horrible D, bubbling and gurgling, which didn't go away until 8...

    My PCP was ready to diagnose me after getting very positive results on my celiac panel. I should have taken him up on it and not requested to follow up with a GI doc. (My biopsy was positive...not a surprise to me). But, I also have a daughter who has problems with gluten (she's pretty much eating gluten free but not always) and also is hypo-thyroid. ...

    The abdominal CT scan will show up areas that the endo and colonoscopy can't reach. Don't know if the barium is toxic or not. I had to drink 3 bottles of VoLumen (about 16 oz. each) in 45 min. prior to my CT scan. I made the hospital check to be sure the VoLumen was gluten free...it is. Regardless, I paid a price for it for the balance of the day...

    If you are talking about a barium sulfate solution, VoLumen is gluten free. I had the hospital check before I had an abdominal CT scan.

    Thanks so much! Will definitely try it...right now I have the ingredients for buckwheat bread measured out so I can bake a loaf of that today. I have meringue powder so will search the "reverse engineering" thread, which was posted some time ago.

    Halfrunner, I would love to try your homemade version of Udi's bread, which I can't find around here. Could you post it, maybe starting a new thread, for those of us who are into experimenting trying to find the "perfect" yeast bread recipe? This weekend I plan to try to make another loaf of your buckwheat bread but this time not cover it for rising since...

    Personally I feel very comfortable eating Kraft dressings. They will not hide wheat but I also know that people have various intolerances to a lot of different ingredients. That could include whole, natural foods (fruits and veggies, for example). Their Ranch dressing is my favorite although I've pretty much avoided it for a few months as it contains...

    Kraft has a very clear labeling policy (wish all companies did!). I feel very comfortable buying Kraft dressings (after reading the ingredient list, of course).

    I think I finally solved the puzzle to my daily D. And to think it was so simple that if it had been a snake, it would have bitten me. I started on the Renew Life probiotics (80 billion with 14 different strains) and for several days I actually felt worse and then the same as usual (not good). Well, to make a long story short, a week ago I had an eye...

    I saw this link posted yesterday for Zucchini Pie using the new Gluten Free Bisquick. It certainly looks yummy! Open Original Shared Link

    How interesting! I just saw a commercial for this and figured it was just one more way to get people to part with their hard earned money. Glad to hear it works. I'll probably watch for some of our local stores to get it like they do for other TV advertised items.

    My dentist gave me a sample of Sensodyne ProNamel toothpaste. As far as I know it's gluten free. I found this link with fairly recent info that lists ingredients in Sensodyne products. Of course, ingredients could have changed since then (usual CYA statement): Open Original Shared Link The phone number on the box is1-866-844-2797 if you wish to contact...

    I asked my pharmacist at Rite Aid and while he didn't know, he/she can print out the ingredients for each of your meds so you can check them for yourself. I even had him print out the ingredients in my eye meds. Brand name meds would be easy to check out by contacting the company. Alprazolam (generic Xanax) by Greenstone is gluten free. It does have...

    I've only tried the pancakes using the new gluten free Bisquick. Delish! I found it in my local Wal-Mart in Waynesboro, PA.

    Not true! There's an awful lot of misinformation floating around out there. I'm A negative and was diagnosed with a positive celiac blood panel followed by an endoscopy/biopsy (also positive). And I don't think I'm one in 1,000,000. If you want good solid info, you've come to the right place. Also, if you want to pick up a good book to read...

    I recently bought Hellmann's Canola Cholesterol Free Mayonnaise and it's marked gluten free. No soy or dairy (includes Parve symbol). It's a Unilever product. Phone: 1-800-418-3275. Hope this helps...
