ARCHIVED Asian Market Rice Flours
MartialArtist replied to MartialArtist's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Unfortunately for me, both are covered in red lettering. Frankly, I had to pay fairly close attention to identify one from the other since I don't read any type of character writing. But one's logo is a flying horse and the other is an adorned elephant I think. -
ARCHIVED Asian Market Rice Flours
MartialArtist posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have found that my nearest Asian market carries 2 brands of rice flour -- Flying Horse and Erawan -- and I am seeking any personal experience testimonials people can offer comparing the two. Specifically, do you believe one makes a moister final baked good or one that lasts longer before going stale? Have you had a gluten reaction from either one (shouldn... -
I had discovered Quinoa Flakes on the breakfast cereal aisle of Whole Foods a little while back (like 2-3 months ago). When I followed the package directions, it was something like an oatmeal, though with a slightly different texture, so I was pretty pleased with it. I have made it with brown sugar every time (I like sweet oatmeal...) and sometimes mixed...

ARCHIVED Tostitos
MartialArtist replied to hollyres's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not so happy with Wal-Mart's Great Value line at the moment. I had my husband pick up a jar of their pizza sauce since it was listed as gluten-free in my Cecilia's Marketplace book. Right there on the jar, it says "a naturally gluten free food" but in another place on the jar, it says "may contain traces of ... wheat". Don't put the term "gluten free... -
My soy and dairy intake have not gone up, per se. I have not cut them out (i.e. I don't avoid products with those allergens in them) but I don't seek them more than before or anything. I could see if I were having digestive symptoms that it might be sensitivity to those other things that are often issues for those with celiac, but it's the secondary symptoms...

I am now 2-1/2 months gluten-free. In the first 6 weeks, I managed to have NO mouth ulcers -- that is a HUGE deal in my world. A couple of weeks ago, one appeared inside my lower lip, but I thought it might be due to some irritation from an infrequently (and recently resumed) worn lower teeth retainer. Then just as that one healed, I got another one just...

ARCHIVED Hungry All The Time
MartialArtist replied to kitgordon's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This pretty much sums me up in a nutshell. I'm something like 2-1/2 months gluten free and I just feel like I NEED the carbs (even still). I was a carb eater before, but of course they were all wheat carbs. I can't identically replace all my stuff, so the void is being desired by my mouth (if not the rest of my body) in crazy ways. I've indulged myself... -
ARCHIVED Carnation Instant Breakfast
MartialArtist replied to holdthegluten's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I realize this thread is old, but I'm ticked at Carnation right now b/c as I pulled out an IB packet this morning, I read on the package that it's made on equipment that also processes wheat. So if it was fine 3 years ago, why did they have to go and mess it up??!!! That used to be one of my favorite breakfasts and SO convenient!!! (At least I didn't buy... -

ARCHIVED Fava Bean Flour Substitute
MartialArtist replied to MartialArtist's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Purple -- I must know: are the cookies in your profile pic gluten-free? If so, I MUST have the recipe (pretty please with sugar on top?!?!?)! Yum! (And yes, the recipe does call for xanthan gum as well, so I'd check to make sure the blend, if I used one, didn't have that.) -
ARCHIVED Fava Bean Flour Substitute
MartialArtist posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've read that bean flours tend to give at least the batter (and possible the final product) a slightly beany flavor. This is not a huge problem for gluten-free flour tortillas, since I'll mostly use them for mexican food, but I don't currently have that on hand and I have so many flours in my house at this point it's getting ridiculous. I found a recipe... -
At first, I totally ignored any nutritional info about the gluten-free bread, pasta, dessert, and pancake (especially those) replacement products and went totally on TASTE (i.e. which one tasted the most like my favorite gluten version). But I have discovered that what you say here is very right -- that they are higher in carbs (including sugar) and by extension...

ARCHIVED Diagnosed Celiac Without Any Gi Symptoms
MartialArtist replied to schandel's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Here in the US, mine was done under conscious sedation. No pain or discomfort, at least that I remember... One drug they gave me was a mild sedative, though not supposed to have put me totally under. The other drug they gave me induced temporary amnesia, so when I was coming out of it, I asked the same set of questions 5-7 times in a row at 3-5 minute...
