    Not all soy sauce has wheat in it. Some are gluten free. Unless you are avoiding soy too you may be able to eat there. You just have to find out if the soy sauce has wheat or not. Or do what pp suggested and get a salad with olive oil and vinegar.

    I use Coconut Aminos in place of soy sauce for my Asian cooking. I found it subs very well in most recipes. The only thing that is different about the Coconut Aminos is that it tends to burn easily and make things stick to the pan if I use a lot of it in a dish. So I try to go for recipes that involve putting the sauce on towards the end of cooking or...

    Here is a General Tso recipe that is easily made gluten free: Open Original Shared Link Just make sure the soy sauce and chicken broth you get is gluten free and everything else should be naturally gluten-free. I can't help with the others you listed but if your family likes Orange chicken this is an excellent recipe: Open Original Shared Link ...

    I keep an emergency stockpile of gluten-free Progresso Soups on hand for things like hurricanes. I also have a little cooler that looks like a purse that I keep stocked with gluten-free shelf stable food--Lara bars, Enjoy life bars, almonds, craisins, banana chips, etc. If I know I'm going to be out for the day I throw an ice pack and a gluten-free...

    It sounds like you have a really good regular dr. He is right when he says you can be tested for other things without the celiac diagnosis. He is also right in sayign it *could* mess up your insurance if you were ever to lose the insurance you currently have for a period of time. If your body has already told you that you need to be gluten free, is there...

    Well that's no good. A follow up celiac test would show how well you are following the diet. A good doctor would be testing you for other things if it's not celiac related OR talkign to you about the possibility of refractory celiac, which is very, very rare but I have seen at least one person on here have it. Refractory celiac is celiac that does not...

    Thanks Rice Guy. Yeah, I have fresh ginger root, not powdered or crystallized. I use it to make tea and for cooking stir fry type recipes. I'll have to do a search and see if there are conversion rates between the different forms. The fresh stuff is much more potent than ground ginger. I've never tried crystallized ginger so I don't know how they compare...

    Thanks I'll have to try it sometime then. Arrowroot is usually used in very small amounts because it can be bitter if you use too much. That's really all I know about it. It sounds like you could use any gluten free starch to thicken it.
  9. GlutenFreeManna
    Thank you, this is closest to what I am looking for. I do have fresh ginger and that's what I want to use. I have everything else except the agave. I think I will try using honey instead. That way i can make these this weekend without a special trip to the store. I'll try to come back and update if I try it.

    I have had lots of frustating doctor's visits too. Don't give up. There are some good doctors out there they are just few and far between, especially when you don't have insurance. How recently did you have your thyroid checked? you should be screened every year and they should not just do the typical screening but should order a more in depth panel....

    Are you looking for meal type recipes or recipes for baked goods? For cooking I don't really use many speacial gluten free flours. I use corn starch or rice flour to thicken gravies and things like that, but most of my meals are just things that are naturally gluten free anyway like tacos with corn tortillas, chili, stirfry over rice, steak, baked potatoes...

    Have you had your thyroid checked? I was reading somewhere recently that there is a correlation of people with celiac and type I diabetes also having thyroid diseases, especially if the celiac disease went undiagnosed for many years. Make sure you get the full, indepth panel not just the regular screening.

    Tonight we're having rotiserie chicken, baked sweet potatoes (made in the slow cooker) and steamed green beans.
  14. GlutenFreeManna
    as the pp said you can do searches, but also please feel free to ask questions. Even though the same questions get asked again and again the regulars here are super friendly and helpful. They will answer your questions or point you towards a thread with a similar question if it has been asked recently. There are no dumb questions and who knows you might...

    Thank you burdee and kareng! If you can both post those recipes when you find them that would be great. I have googled gluten free ginger cookie recipes to no avail. Found lots of recipes but every single one has molasses and dairy too. It's good to know I can try subbing other sugars if need be.
  16. GlutenFreeManna
    Does anyone have a gluten free ginger cookie recipe without molasses? Or has anyone tried just using all brown sugar instead of molasses for a ginger cookie recipe? I have fresh ginger and I would like to make some ginger cookies but I don't want to go out to the store to get the molasses. Flours I have on hand are brown rice, white rice, tapioca, potato...

    It's not the same, but I usually make burrittos using corn tortillas. Since the only brown rice torillas I ever found (Food For Life) made me sick. I have heard that Trader Joes has gluten-free brown rice tortillas as well but I have never found them there. To make the burritos out of corn: Get all your ingredints ready. Cut up what needs to be cut up...
  18. GlutenFreeManna
    Thanks for the recipe. Do you think this would work with coconut milk or almond milk? also it is probably bitter becaus eof the arrowroot. I wonder if tapioca flour would work just as well wihtout the bitter taste.

    I do the same thing. The Asian rice noodles work well in things like chicken noodle soup or Tuna noodle casseroles. I have found that they don't have much flavor, though. And they can fall apart easily. I still buy Tinkyada brown rice pasta for my spaghetti and lasagna noodles. The Asian rice noodles don't seem to asorb flavors easily and they get hard...

    That's very interesting! I would be very happy to get a positive celiac test but I don't think it will happen because I have been very careful. I have checked all my vitamins and even changed lotions, shampoos, etc to gluten free. I bought all new cookware, cutting boards, etc and my home is gluten free. I take my own food pretty much everywhere and don...

    Yesterday I made ground nut stew over rice. Tonight I'm going to make some chicken fried rice with the leftover rice. Also thinkign about making some cabbage spring rolls with rice paper wrappers. Will depend on how ambitious I get. Chicken fried rice with lots of veggies is a meal in itself but I'm really craving spring rolls too.

    I also use LIGHT olive oil in everything I bake. I get the big jugs of Bertolli Light Olive Oil from BJ's warehouse. It has very little flavor and things don't have that woody olive taste that Virgin Olive oil or Extra virgin Olive oil have.

    I know, but finding one that ACTUALLY believes they work for me is a challenge. This one actually was not very pushy. She was nicer and more attentive than many that I have dealt with over the years. She just doesn't seem to know anything about celiac testing. I will be bringing her the resources posted above to read in hopes she will educate herself...

    That's what I thought it was. Thanks.
