    For the soup I would try freezing one portion to test how it comes out. Most soups freeze really well, but some may lose flavor or change texture after being frozen. I don't know about nutrition changing, if the soup is cooked I wouldn't think freezing would change the nutrition much (but I could be wrong). Try freezing one serving and then thaw it several...

    I don't know if it shortens the recovery time, but I know resting helps and should be recommended. Our bodies' immune systems are attacking the gluten and putting extra stress on the body won't help the immune system. Thats just my opinion though. I would love to know if there are any studies done on this issue or the more technical medical info behind...

    This is interesting. I just tried Udi's bread for the first time last week and I thought it was a little stale, but I figured that was just the way it is normally. I was actually kind of disappointed after all the raves I have seen. It was still the best gluten free bread I have found but not suitable for making an untoasted sandwich, IMO. I used it to...

    I think that's serious enough to go see a doctor about! I did not have that problem exactly, but I would have seizures/passing out spells and not remember anything that happened in the minutes before I woke up on the floor. Sometimes I would even be talking to my husband in the minutes before it happened and I would never remember what we were talking about...

    Hi Ryan, I live in Hampton Roads. What are your questions?

    That sounds really good and I bet it would work with any gluten-free cake. Here's a recipe I found: Open Original Shared Link The first review of the recipe tells how to ice the cake with ice cream. ETA: Let us know if you try it!

    Okay, here are my ideas: Rissotto Mini meatloaves meatballs Chili Chicken fajitas Mashed potatoes Homefries french fries Burger patties barbecue chicken Pizza-- I recently discovered Chebe mixes and it says you can premake the crust and freeze, you can just make it without cheese if you don't have any cheese substitute. It kinda ends up more...

    Oh, that's probably it! I'm having a little brain fog today and couldn't think of any foods that started with E.

    I'm sorry, I'm having trouble seeing what the issue is? Is it just that they are not willing to buy gluten free food or make gluten free desserts for your daughter? It sounds like they are being accommodating in many ways--cooking barbecue and other things on foil, going to some restaurants that have gluten free menus, asking you to send safe breakfast...

    What does EF stand for?
  12. GlutenFreeManna
    It's probably because they come frozen. Ask you local store to carry Udi's and it will be faster to get it. I finally got to try some last week and it's really good, but not good enough spend $18 on shipping. The loaf is really small for the price too (it's 7.99 in my local store) I think I'm going to try to make my own bread next. There was a thread...

    Tried these today to make hamburger buns and they were really good. I was surprised at how much the texture is like regular bread. It's nice and spongy and the taste is close to a whole wheat bread. I would't eat these without anything else on them, but as burger buns they were good.

    Thanks. I guess I have never had unsweetened puffed rice. I'm not a big breakfast cereal eater anyway. Is it more similar in texture to rice cakes? I have rice cakes that have "whole grain brown rice" as the only ingredient. I like those sometimes with peanut butter as a snack. OP, would rice cakes help your craving? I also sometimes just eat plain...

    OMG, my nails have lines through them that look just like that picture. I never noticed them before now.
  16. GlutenFreeManna
    Yep, I had to get all new pans. Since you're a college student get one good pan to start before you buy a whole new set. You will have to keep you roommates from using it (if you have roommates). You can cover cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper to make them safe. Get your own gluten free dedicated colander too and watch out for knifes and cutting...

    Right after you have the biospy done you can start a gluten free diet trial. You don't have to wait for the results. As far as your original question, some people have delays in when the gluten effects them. 24 hours of recording your food and reactions, is not long enough, IMO, to see a pattern. Sometimes gluten gives me symptoms within 20 minutes and...
  18. GlutenFreeManna
    Unfortunately, even if people are careful in cooking things for you that are naturally gluten free they likely have gluten in their kitchens and have used the same pot and pans, cutting boards and knifes, spices and sugar to prepare gluten food for years. There will also sometimes be people that think you are over-reacting or this "gluten thing" is all in...

    Try "glutenous" rice flour (it is gluten free). I haven't tried it on fish but it makes a great breading for chicken or fried eggplant.
  20. GlutenFreeManna
    IMO, you only need to be concerned if you are supersensitive and you buy oil from a company that also processes wheat germ oil on the same equipment. Spectrum naturals is one of those brands that has been mentioned here in another thread. I buy Bertolli olive oil and I'm not concerned in the least about gluten in it because olive oil is the only type of...

    Why the negative attitude? Many of us DO have additional food intolerances. Good for you that you don't, but please don't make it sound like those that do have additional intolerance are making things up. Additional intolerances is ONE possible explanation, another possible explanation is cross-contamination in preparation (like in a shared toaster or...

    Are you toasting them in a toaster previously used for gluten foods?
  23. GlutenFreeManna
    Some questions for you: 1. Have you tried eliminating other foods? (soy, dairy, nightshades, grains like corn and rice) 2. Have you had your thyroid checked? 3. Have you been tested for other autoimmune diseases? (often these come with celiac)
  24. GlutenFreeManna
    What are you dipping them in or eating with them? And do you share your home with gluten eaters? Any chance that someone else stuck their gluteny hand in the bag before you took some out for yourself? Beyond that, if your symptoms are not your typical gluten symptoms you could be intolerant of blue corn and not yellow/white corn. Some people can eat...
  25. GlutenFreeManna
    It sounds like you're being realistic. A week is too short to get rid of all your symptoms, especially when they are neuro. Heck, I've been gluten free for 8 months and when I get accidental gluten it takes a week (sometimes longer) before my symptoms go away. So keep up the gluten free diet and ignore those naysayers.
