About Me

After "fighting" it for years, am gradually "accepting" (begrudgingly!) that a Gluten-Free diet is essential for improved health and functioning. Am currently working on a Gluten-Free recipe collection and other Gluten-Free aids for self and others. smile.gif

    OK, back with a brief report on our experiences with BC choc-chip cookie mix... It was rather weird and a little difficult to mix up the dough. When they said "dough will be crumbly," they were not kidding. Maybe if they upped the amount of butter or added a little oil or more egg, the dough would stick together better? Had to roll dough in hands (like fish...

    That description is absolutely PRICELESS--and so true for so many of us!

    This stuff about sulphites is very interesting. Had not really considered sulphites as a problem, but when I look at the list on the following link, I do see several foods/substances that are known to provoke a reaction in my system: Open Original Shared Link Substances like gelatin, pectin, chocolate (sometimes)... Not sure if it's the sulphites themselves...

    EXACTLY!!! LOL! By the way, when they say vegetarian cellulose, you don't suppose there's a chance they could be talking about a gluten-containing grain (is grain a vegetable?), do you? Have noticed a lot of products specify plant cellulose, but not sure what exactly their source is. ??

    "Frankinstein food" is a good way to describe some of this stuff! Recall in the old monster movies there often was a creature/being/monster that took the form of a GELATINOUS SUBSTANCE! UGHHHH. !

    Hi Kathy, Some sites online claim that there can be MSG in some gelatins (processed kind), which might explain some folks' reaction to the gelatin in foods they consume. What I find odd (intriguing) is that so many of the foods/substances that cause a reaction in me are the "GLUEY" kind that are used to hold foodstuffs together or provide smooth consistency...

    Hi cassP, I think it was the gelatin, because I recognized the "gelatin hangover" from many, many prior episodes, which is why I called and asked Chef if there had been any gelatin in the meal, which it turned out there was. (Interesting that your potato starch was "gelatinous"! LOL)

    Well, to each his or her own, but you'll never find me willingly eating CHICKEN FEET! LOL! By the way, there are a lot of articles online about allergy or hypersensitivity to gelatin, such as: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link and so on... And here's a few gross shots of chicken feet: Open Original Shared...

    Sorry to hear this! Bought some of this cookie mix last week and have not yet had the energy to bake them! Been waiting for heat wave to let up before lighting the oven. (Hopefully, they are better than NO cookies at all!) PS Wonder what was so "aweful" about the BC c/chip cookies? Did they not hold together well? Were they too bland, blah, no texture...

    Gelatin seems to be another substance that causes all kinds of side-effects and problems for me. Wondering if anybody else with gluten intolerance/celiac has problems with gelatin? (Wonder, too, why so many vitamins & supplements have to use gelatin when it causes problems for many people? Guess it is a cheap binder...) One evening we ate out at...

    Hi again Roda, I wrote "Is there a particular type of Vit. D that is easier to assimilate than this one here (Calcium Citrate+D as cholcaliferol)?" and then today I realized I had grabbed the wrong White bottle with Vitamin D written on label! The one I was taking was Vit. D3 2000 IU, and sometimes I broke them in half because they're hard to swallow and...

    Hi cassP, Will try the kelp on a VERY small dosage (like one-quarter to start with!) and see if anything happens. (Probably the only thing that will happen is face will break out, which has happened in the past on iodine...) Thanks for the info on the green veggies--we eat quite a bit of br. sprouts & broccoli, mainly because they're supposed to...

    Have LOST HOPE on current/recent two doctors and LOSING MED COVERAGE on Thursday, so further testing's probably not going to happen in the foreseeable future. Am resorting to acupuncture for time being, and whatever supplements seem helpful. --Although I have been taking vitamins and various supplements for YEARS and don't see a lot of benefit; I wonder if...

    Will KELP help? (Not meaning to be a poet, there, by the way!) ;P Am tempted to start taking a low dose of "Icelandic Kelp" to see if that would help my overall health, assuming I have a sluggish thyroid (which it is beginning to look like is the case). But I've read some articles online (see links below) as well as some posts in this forum that suggest...

    Hi Roda, Wow, that sounds like a lot of Vitamin D. How low was your D-level? The doctor wanted me to take 1,000 units a day (which I was already getting in my multivitamin; I added between 500-1000 additional IU per day); but that was during "darker" months when we weren't outside much. (What's weird is how quickly my level fell back down as soon as I stopped...
