    I can certainly understand your dilemma and I don't mean to come across as criticizing your decision to move. you gotta do what you gotta do for your health. If I were in your situation (and could not move) I would look for ways to make more portable snacks at home. I would look into dehydrating vegetable chips and making my own beef jerky or summer sausage...

    Wow, what a tough choice to make. I'm the same age as you but I find myself in quite the opposite situation. I have good access to many gluten-free specialty items where I live but I am unemployed (mainly due to this illness), I have very few friends (fortunately I am married and my husband is my best friend and caretaker when I'm sick) and not much of...

    I would suspect the cereal and also possibly the smoothie. I don't know anything about Robeks--never heard of this chain, but many smoothie places make stuff with wheat grass or barley grass. Even if your smoothie was gltuen free was the smoothie made in the blender prior to yours gluten-free? What are the cleaning precautions they take (if any)? I worked...

    They do fall apart easily when you put lots of heavy meat in them but if you put a layer of veggies, some rice or rice noodles and a little meat they don't fall apart as much. I have filled them with everything from leftover taco meat to the traditional spring roll type veggies and taken them with me to eat at the beach cold. The taco meat ones tore a...

    Thank You! I was just looking for a use for chickpea flour. I bought mine at an international market and it was really cheap (I want to say around a $1 for a 2 lb bag of it, but I'm not sure). I will be trying this recipe this week for sure. I've got Corned beef int eh slow cooker today and I'm going to try makign wraps with the leftovers. I had planned...

    Just an update on the sorghum. I looked again in my store today and I can get it here but it is made by Bob's Red Mill and I can't tolerate BRM products because they process their gluten-free flours in the the same facility as Oats. I'm very sensitive to Oat CC it seems. Every BRM product I tried made me sick. But for those that don't have a problem with...

    I have a chain of stores here that has a gluten free aisle but they also put all the organic items in the same aisle. So for example, the organic wheat pasta is mixed in with the gluten free pasta. They also have all the sugar free/diabetic items in tha same aisle. Since things are not separated by gluten-free, sugar free and organic it sort of defeats...

    Thai Kitchen makes some rice noodle meals that are gluten free. I have not tried them because they all have either soy or mushrooms and I can't have either but they are small and light weight. Would be good for packing in a suitcase (better than a heavy can of soup in that reguard). I always see them in the Asian foods section of my regular grocery. Open...

    Chicken and rice soup with spinach and Love2travel's Focaccia bread:

    I haven't tried teff yet either. I probably could get it from an international market here but I have not thought to look for it. I got some chickpea flour from the international market and I have no idea what to do with it. I really like brown rice and other rice flour based things. I've never had a problem with homemade items from brown rice flour being...

    No problem! It might have been the different flour that made mine more dense. I don't think I've seen sorghum in the stores here. Do you order it online? I liked this just fine with brown rice flour but I like the taste of brown rice. I also wonder if I had brushed the top with some egg white if it would have made the outside more chewy. I might try...

    Mine did not rise much but my yeast was close to expiration and has been in my cabinet for a while so perhaps that is why. Yes I would make this again but I think I am going to tweak it to make drop biscuits from it instead of focaccia bread. All the gluten-free biscuit recipes I have found have eggs and I never put eggs in my biscuits prior to gluten-free...

    This is going to sound crazy but if the opened items are expensive/good quality things you might be able to sell them in a yard sale or on craigslist. Yes, people actually buy that stuff! I wouldn't buy cosmetics from a yard sale but some people do and I have sold stuff like bottles of shampoo and lotion (mostly ones I used once and didn't like so they...

    This was very good! So good in fact my non-gluten-free husband almost ate the entire loaf before I told him to save some for me. The flavor is very much like focaccia but the texture was more like a biscuit (Southern American biscuit not the English biscuit which is a cookie or cracker type thing). Actually this was the closest gluten-free thing...

    Coconut milk is my second favorite milk sub but my niece can't have coconut either. I have searched high and low for a rice milk that is soy free, gluten free and nut free and I haven't found one. If I were just lactose intolerant I would use lactaid milk but I have an actual milk allergy so I can't have that. I use light olive oil in pretty much everything...

    Thank You for replying so quickly! I mixed up a batch with brown rice flour and I have it rising in my warm window sill right now. I also used garlic powder instead of onion powder (just a personal preferance). If this works it would be a miracle recipe for me. No milk, no butter, no eggs. Just flours, spices, water and oil basically. I can have eggs...
  17. GlutenFreeManna
    Sounds good! I have everythign to make this except for the sorghum flour. Do you think I could use brown rice flour or buckwheat flour in place of the sorghum? I've never had sorghum so please advise which you think would work best. Thanks for the recipe!

    Have you actually spoken with her doctor to know what his/her medical advice was (I mean is this the same dr you go to or used to go to)? The reason I ask is, it's possible she is just lying to you about saying "my dr says it's mild..." because SHE doesn't want to change her child's diet. I have heard a lot of bad advice from doctors over the years and...

    I thought that a few months ago after an accidental glutening (and subsequent depression). I gave in to the temptation and was very sorry. My formerly good-tasting gluten food didn't even taste good and the result was my immune system was so depressed I got sick with brochitus and then pnuemonia which landed me in the hospital. I lost another two months...

    Olive Garden has gluten free pasta so you can have your pasta. Just make sure your waitress understands you are ordering from the gltuen free menu and that it is really important you get gluten free pasta. I have had mostly good experiences there. I had one bad experience when the waitress did not know what gluten free was and brought me out regular pasta...

    I always thought the reason the slices of gluten-free bread were so small had to do with calorie count/portion size. If you look you will see that one slice of Udi's is about 80 calories (I think that's right). That calorie count is comparable to a regular slice of gluten white bread. If they made the slices as big as a regular piece of bread it would...

    Rice cakes are cheap (make sure you get gluten free ones). I make peanut butter and jelly rice cakes a lot to take with me. You can make a trail mix with raisins, nuts, chocolate chips or Plain M&M's. Add shredded coconut and dried pineappel for a tropical version. Cereal like Chex (all except wheat chex and multigrain are gluten-free) makes...

    See this link, last question: Open Original Shared Link It looks like they may work with you but only if you have a doctor's note. It doesn't say they approve dairy subs, however. If they don't you could always see about buying rice if it's a WIC qualifying item and making your own rice milk which is fairly simple to make. Open Original Shared Link...

    What about Lara Bars or an Enjoy Life bar? I always keep those in my purse in case I get hungry.

    You might also test out powdered goats milk--some people can tolerate goats milk but not cow's milk. It tastes very similar to buttermilk. Before I became allergic and had to cut out all dairy I could tolerate goats milk products better than cow's milk. It works well for anything calling for buttermilk or sour milk. You wouldn't want to drink it straight...
