    Surprisingly I found Soy Free Earth Balance at my local Wal-Mart in Waynesboro, PA. I had looked for it previously at several grocery stores, including Giant where I felt for sure I'd find it but they didn't have it.

    Thanks for your response! I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with next! In the meantime I want to also experiment with the recipe using a half cup of flour posted by RiceGuy under the "Uprisings" thread.

    I'm continually searching for a recipe for the "perfect" loaf of bread...a recipe that I can stick with and have turn out well every time. Gluten free yeast bread remains my biggest challenge as far as a gluten free diet is concerned. When you cut down the amount of starch, did you increase the amount of buckwheat flour or decrease the amount of water...

    This morning I tried the gluten free Bisquick for pancakes. They are excellent. Expensive, but excellent! In looking at the ingredients of this Bisquick, the main item is rice flour followed by sugar and leavening (sounds like baking powder to me). The only other flour is modified potato starch with the last items salt and xanthan gum. Obviously there...

    I made this bread yesterday but cut back the ingredients to make only one loaf...nothing like having the oven on when we had a heat index of over 100

    I'll admit that I don't have a clue about allergy testing. Obviously the RAST test I had was not the right one. I'll be anxious to hear how everything turns out for you. Is the Dr. you're seeing an allergist?

    $4.79 would make me croak, too. lol I'm sure distribution of new products like this take time to roll out to the stores that stock General Mills products. I really had to search for it at Wal-Mart in Waynesboro, PA. It was buried on the very bottom shelf next to the reduced fat Bisquick. Just one row of the gluten free Bisquick and it was almost...

    Holy cow! That is expensive. Where did you buy it? I paid $3.84 at my local Wal-Mart (still expensive considering the inexpensive ingredients that are in it). I was surprised to see that it came in a tiny 16 oz. box. I guess I was expecting it to be a much larger box. Glad to hear the biscuits turned out well. I haven't made anything yet but am...

    I'm curious to know just what type of test(s) your allergist ordered? I'm still having problems and had a basic RAST test for food allergies (wheat, milk, soy, peanuts, etc) and everything came back negative. I just picked up the test results this week and notice it was for IgE allergies, which I suspect are "true" food allergies. I don't have an anaphylactic...

    I think I'll skip it as I have enough problems as it is. We could probably make our own using Herb-Ox instant beef bouillon and dried instant minced onions. It's just so darn convenient to have the onion soup mix on hand, not that I use that much of it. I just noticed that it also contains soy (also true for the Herb-Ox chicken bouillon)...just what...

    I tried popcorn about a month after going gluten free and it did bother me. I figured there might just have been too much fiber for my tender tummy to handle. And I made my own...plain Orville Redenbacher's jarred popcorn popped in a Presto Power Pop in my microwave after which I added olive oil and salt. That was 3 months ago and I haven't tried it...

    This ain't your mama's Bisquick! In fact, it doesn't resemble the original Bisquick at all. Nor does it have any shortening in it. Every recipe on the box calls for eggs. The main ingredients are rice flour, sugar, leavening, modified potato starch, salt and xanthan gum. At $3.84 a box (Wal-Mart) I think it's rather expensive considering the cheap...

    I may have to switch to a lower dose for awhile. At least I'm home and don't have anywhere I absolutely need to go. Yes free everything...no yeast, wheat, corn, salt, binders, fillers or artificial ingredients. And the capsule dissolves in the intestines, not the stomach. The health food store owner knows I have celiac and is very knowledgeable about...

    Interesting! There were several different varieties from Renew Life. Since I have no plans for the next few days, for now I'll stick with it for a few more days and see what happens. I asked the health food store owner if I should expect any problems and she didn't think so. A lot of her customers take this product. I liked the idea of getting so many...

    That would be me. I had a positive celiac blood panel followed by an EGD and positive biopsy that confirmed celiac. I just got the results of my basic RAST test yesterday (wheat, milk, eggs, etc.) that came up with no allergies in spite of my celiac diagnosis (the supposed "gold standard"). It was an IgE test so obviously was either not the right test...

    The probiotic I bought yesterday is "Renew Life, Ultimate Flora Critical Colon BifidoMAX", which includes 14 probiotic strains (80 billion). I've only taken two so far and noticed my D is worse today. Is this normal as the bacteria are working hard to rid my intestinal tract of bad bacteria? I figure I'll give it a shot for 30 days and hopefully it'll...

    Well, that was a complete waste of Medicare dollars! The RAST test I had was for the basic foods (milk, wheat, eggs, shellfish, peanuts, etc.) and everything came back negative. Obviously it was not the right test, if there is such a thing, as it was for IgE allergies. I already know I have celiac as I was diagnosed with a positive celiac blood panel followed...

    Thanks, Lisa! I'll look forward to reading what you find out. The word "barley" certainly sends up red flags for me. I also have an older unopened box of this soup mix and the ingredient list has definitely changed. At least Unilever is good about listing the ingredients. I bought the new box without even looking at the ingredients after a recent discussion...

    I have a new box of Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix I just picked up and see the ingredients have changed. This one contains autolyzed yeast extract (barley). Guess that means I give it away, huh? Dammit!!!
  23. sa1937
    Connie, It's a blood test rather than a scratch test. No clue whether it's any good or not. Anyone else on this forum have any input on this type of testing??? I know there was a thread about food allergy testing but, alas, my other computer crashed about a week ago and is now in for replacement of the hard drive...

    When I was browsing in Wally World yesterday, I saw Aveeno products and oats is listed on the front label (at least on the products I glanced at).

    I ordered a regular dinner salad (without croutons) with dressing on the side. That type of salad is not tossed in a bowl or if I had wanted the other kind, you can request that they use a clean bowl (per our waitress).
