    Have you subscribed to "Living Without"? If not, I think you'll find it really helpful. Good luck to you. Is she allergic to egg yolk or white? The good thing is that most children grow out of egg allergies from what I've read. I tried to hook you up with the peanut butter cookie recipe that just uses 1 cup PB, 1 cup sugar and 1 egg, but didn't...

    Last year I made coconut milk from scratch because I couldn't tolerate soy, or any of the rice, hemp, almond or coonut milks. It was a pain, first I roasted the coconut (a whole one) in the oven, oh, it was grueesome. And the finished product was only good for three days! I figured out that soy products were bothering me (the protein is similar to gluten...

    So I switched to Vanicream soap (have used Dr. Bonner's in the past, great product, but I'm older and need something with an emmolient for my skin, and don't have any soap making cousins) and it's been amazing. Not necessarily with my skin yet, but I used to have a runny nose and my eyes would tear up after washing my face and taking a shower. I bouoght...

    Dear Alice, I'd love to learn how you grow your own fingerlings and make your own flour from potatos. Will you share? I buy alternate flours, but always worry that they're cc'd. I saw sweet potato flour in the oriental store, but how do I know that it isn't made on shared lines? This is an interesting article that made me wonder about cc from products...

    I learned that gyros are gluten-free on this site, and the meat is quite easy to make at home. It's not to difficult to make your own gluten-free meatballs (or loaf). Stick a piece of gluten-free bread in your mini food processor for 30-40 seconds, add meat of your choice (if you wanted to make it fish cakes, add safe tuna or salmon, or left over fish.)...

    Speaking of which, even though I had uncontrollable D before all this happened, the multi-vitamin with iron made me have C. I really like cumin for an iron source. You can make it in flat breads or tea or grind it up in a bread mix. It's good and good for you, and has been used for centuries.

    My neuro stressed the importance of exercise too. I don't work out like I used to, but if I'm brushing my teeth in the morning and I feel pretty good, I get in some squats. When I wake up I do some leg lifts (in bed, not that tough) and some push ups against the wall. You'll have to be really diligent with the diet, because if you have a little slip up...

    I appreciate this thread because I've been wondering about whether or not to get one. My shot would be free, but like other posters mentioned, I used to get bad colds or bronchitis, even pneumonia every 6-12 months. Once I went gluten-free, that went away. I don't wan't to stimulate my autoimmune system now, since it's just now simmering down. Maybe next...

    I tried Banh Xeo again tonight (Vietnamese shirmp/mung bean rice flour pancakes.) I've watched a video on it, read all kinds of recipes on the web, consulted some Vietnamese associates on it. (Went to the nail salon today and everyone there had advice.) They still didn't turn out right, but I learned that it's important to whisk rice flour really well...

    I'd be more interested in a "morning after" recovery pill for when there are pitfalls, but I don't reckon that's going to happen. I associate gluten with poison, so I wouldn't be interested in taking a pill that will allow me to poison myself without side effects.

    When I finally got around to cleaning out my utensil drawer, I was amazed at how many crumbs were in there. I 86'd toast at our house because of all the crumbs. They can have gluten-free bread toasted in a dedicated toaster or no toast, or eat it with a meal in a restuaraunt. That worked at my home without much of a dilemna. The other thing most people...

    Any plain rice, no matter the variety, should be gluten-free. Some of us take precautions like soaking and rinsing before cooking (to see if anything that appears like a wheat grain floats to the top) and some don't. One very sensitive poster hand sorts her rice to check it for wheat and said she finds wheat in it. I haven't had a problem with prosciutto...

    Hi Apple, welcome to the forum...your knives and forks should be just fine after going through the dishwasher. Some of us prefer to have gluten-free households, some get by just fine by being careful (even if they don't have a dishwasher.) It's more important to get rid of the gluten protein that might be lurking in your kitchen, like in your silverware...

    If you have an iron defficiency and hate your supplements, you might want to check out some Indian recipes with cumin. Yum!

    I personally don't like using sponges, but I use kitchen dish cloths kind of obsessively. I buy them when they're on sale, and use a clean one every day to wipe down kitchen surfaces before I cook or prepare food. If I wonder about how clean that cloth is when I come home to cook again (I live with Dennis the Menace), I grab another clean one. They don...

    Regarding dairy, it wasn't a lactose intolerance in my situation, but of course that doesn't mean that we'll have similar reactions. I had to avoid the casein protein. That meant eliminating hard cheeses as well as a host of other processed foods like lunch meats. I think it's best to go as simple as possible. I remember being very frustrated at the...

    I thought of you today when I saw Finger Peppers at the produce market today, Simone. You could make stuffed finger peppers as an appetizer (using Udi's bread crumbs). Here's a recipe I found. My friend's stuffed peppers are to die for, he adds minced anchovies to the basic stuffing mix, or bacon bits might be tasty. At the market, they had both green...

    Thanks for letting me know. Do you recommend anyting for a mild facial wash? (When I researched the ingredients in Cetaphil, I was kind of surprised.)

    Hi Gfh, Another couple of foods to look out for if you feel rotten is corn and soy. Soy is in mayo, most vitamins and vegetable oil, practically all processed foods (even tuna). Corn and soy protein structure is, from what I understand, similar enough to make your autoimmune system fight again. Some of us have a problem with grains, too. I can't...

    I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but I like the rice wine vinegar from oriental stores, not sure if Wal-M sells it. It is really tasty in salad dressings or as a substitute for wine in recipes I've tried. Wish you well, hope you feel better tomorrow!

    Oops, I did post the wrong website for Elana Amsterdam. Thanks for providing the correct post.

    I checked every ingredient in the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser again today and it appears to be gluten-free.
  24. Marilyn R
    Yikes. I'm just using the cetaphil gentle cleanser soap, which I thought was safe. Should I 86 the cetaphil? The derm. told me I didn't have DH, and mentioned he's only seen it about four times. Thanks for all of the great advice. IfI shouldn't use cetaphil as a facial cleanser, I'd be grateful for recommendations on something safer. Thanks...

    I haven't tried tapioca flour yet, but have it in my cupboard. Last weekend something smacked me, it was either dairy or chickpea flour. Just in case you don't already know, Elana Amsterdam has a nice cookbook that is pretty simple, but uses almond flour exclusively. The upside is that you don't gave to add xanthum or guar gum, and that almond flour is...
