Thanks, Peter. That certainly answers my questions and gives me a good recipe to boot!

I have baked my Bob's Red Mill cornbread to make cubes for drying and toasting in the oven, but have forgotten what the oven temp. should be set at and for how long to toast them. Anyone remember?? Whoops!! That heading should have read TOASTing cornbread croutons.

missy'smom: Thanks so much for your informative and helpful replies. I have looked at the link you provided and undertstand some of it, but will need more time to process more of it. My 105 reading was a fasting test and my doctor told me that I need to come in and have an AI test now. I believe that she is on top of this early, but I will not accept...

I'm not sure that I am posting in the correct forum or not, but...I have been gluten and dairy free for about 2 years now. I'm self-diagnosed as intolerant after having had a colon resection 4 yrs. ago and experiencing increasing difficulties since then. I've read a lot and educated myself a lot since that time and don't need a "certificate" to tell me...

Thanks, again, RiceGuy for your thoughts and experience. I'll keep these things in mind when I try this recipe again. It really is good.

Thanks, Rice Guy, I never dreamed that perhaps the bread was over-rising. I'll keep that in mind next time. Yes, that recipe has been used by many with great success, but I am new to breadmaking using all the various ingredients. Before this, I had always used the Bob Mills gluten-free multigrain bread mix, but found myself reacting recently to it for...

I used the flat paddle last week when I tried my first loaf. The dough rose to the top, but lost height while baking and cooling. (It didn't fall) Today, I used the dough hook. What the heck is it for anyway? Made sense to me. Anyway, again the dough rose to the top and after about 45 min. rising, began to lose height. It continued to go down as...

Thanks for your thoughts. Next time, I'll check the weather!

Last week I baked the flax bread that everyone has raved about. It was quite good, but I did not experience what I think should have been sufficient rising. Most people mention even going over the top of the pan. Mine did raise (somewhat unevenly) to the top of the pan, but during backing and cooling did shrink some. The middle of the bread was probably...

Help, please. I made this bread last week and it is delicious. However, it did not raise over the pan (as some have stated) and then shrunk after baking and taking out of the oven. It was probably 2 1/2 in. high. What am I doing wrong? My ingredients are room temp., yeast is new, etc. I beat it with my flat beater on my Kitchen Aid. Should I have used...

I also use tofu to substitute for the cottage/ricotta cheeses. Works just fine and lets me continue to enjoy my lasagna.

Yes, the "diapers" make a world of difference. You only have to clean yourself up rather than your surroundings. Thanks for the good wishes.

Let me say that this problem really intensified 6-8 wks. ago. It was only occasional before then. My BM's were pretty normal before then (since my colon resection almost 3 yrs. ago.) Nothing has changed in my life and as far as meds, I've not changed anything. Most of them are generic and come from India, so it has been a dead-end trying to find out contents...

I've never heard of these products. Where would you find them? And tell me more about celiac conferences. Where do you find those? Thanks for your information and interest.
