  1. Vegetable cellulose is in my other vitamin labled No Gluten, No Wheat, No Soy so it must be something else here.

    I'm not going to use them because it says 'contains wheat', but I used one of their other vitamins without getting sick, which is something that is hard to do with me.

    I was just more curious than anything what it would be!

  2. Can someone tell me what is in these vitamins (b complex with C and Zinc by nature's bounty) that is the wheat factor?

    ingredients: vegetable cellulose, FD&C Yellow No. 5 Lake, FD&C Yellow 6 Lake, Silica, Titanium, Dioxide Color Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Vegetable Stearic Acid.

    At then bottom it says contains wheat and soy, I don't know what about them is the wheat and now I'm just lost not know what the wheat is here.

    Thanks :)

  3. Vitamin B complex is good for energy. I take it but if I take it after noon I can't fall asleep until late so I have to take at breakfast :)

    It's hard to find the balance of food, but if you eat too little your metabolism slows down way to much to compensate and you can't loose weight then.

    Have you considered seeing a nutritionist? They can help give you ideas around your diet that can jump start you metabolism.

  4. You are not the only one! I had issues for 7 years before I figured out the problem was gluten. Needless to say I gained more than 20 pounds in the process. I am still healing inside, but I have started to exercise more so hopefully that will turn around. The one thing I noticed is when you exercise, you feel the gluten affects more. Just something to think about.

    The Kinnikinnick recipe on the box:

    1 1/2 c packed graham crumbs

    1/4 c sugar

    6 Tbsp. melted butter

    Mix ingredients well. Grease and line base and side of 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Press mixture into pan and 2 inches up side of pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

    Bake filled crust when you bake the pie.

    I make a combo graham cracker/Oreo crumb mix using the same volume (more Oreo than graham cracker) and bake it for 10 minutes or less (til you can smell it) on 250.

    You really can't mess it up - just make it to taste.

    And I never line my pans.

    Thanks! "Can't mess it up" ha ha...there's always a first time for everything when I'm in the kitchen lollaugh.gif

    I bake 75% less.

    I have tried - I'm not fond of gluten-free baked goods - maybe because I was pretty good at baking certain things and was attached to certain recipes - and now I have to find new ones or settle for "not quite the same".

    Almond and coconut flour baked goods are better, and give me a little hope. I like the texture better and grain free agrees with me, I've found.

    Except pancakes. Those are better using grains. Even gluten-free ones.

    And I am addicted to gelato and creme br

  7. I do because I can't just buy snacks or munchies all the time. I would say that I was baking WAY more at first, then it died down when I realized it wasn't the end of the world and I found things I liked. On a whole I still bake more than I did before. I'm a picky eater so I don't like much of the altered gluten free stuff. Oh well! I've learned a lot. My fav flour mix is Jules so far. I also like it because it's considered cup for cup of regular glutenous flour plus xanthum gum already mixed in. That make every thing easier!

  8. I am both gluten-free and a teacher. One of the things I try to do for my celiac student is to have at least one goodie/sweet thing to eat. For example if the other kids are having cookies or brownies, I try and make sure to take a cookie and then something else like fruit or popcorn. It seems they like it because then they have two things for them since most other kids have more than one thing to eat as well.

  9. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

    I did notice they are for two pizzas. I may try the other brands thought and see if I have the same problem.

    Meatball man...I've never tried them. They don't sell them around my house :(....

    bird watcher...I do use the pan with the wholes in to begin with. I just roll it out on the counter and place it on the pan. I may try to do it the way you said though...might help! I think it was just underdone. It seemed done on the outside and was even browned when I put the toppings on, but who knows at this point...I may be helpless! ha ha

    I made this last week for the first time. Did you pre cook the crust then add toppings and bake some more?

    Maybe you should check your oven temp to see if it is accurate.

    I also tried Duinkerkan (sp) pizza crust mix and loved it. No pre- cooking and came out perfect. I got it at Walmart.

    Yes I did pre cook it. I even cooked it longer before adding toppings the second time :( I will have to look for the Duinkerkan and see because the no precooking sounds like something that would help me! ha ha I may check my oven, but it works fine to bake my muffins and other dinner items in normal time. But it may be the trick. Thanks.

  11. So I was never a real baker before going gluten-free...it was always a box for cake or the already baked pizza crusts like Boboli. Now that I'm gluten-free, I tried the pre-baked gluten-free, but they just didn't cut it for me and are not in a store that is close to my house. I saw Bob Red Mill Pizza Crust mix at Wal-mart and thought I 'd give it a try. Well it tasted great and I had no issues gluten reaction wise, but I am having trouble with it. The first time only half of the crust was fully cooked and the second time I made it the who thing was under cooked when I left it in for double the time!

    I know nothing about baking period, but I'd like to learn some. Are there are tips or tricks or things a new baker should know? Things I may be doing wrong and not even realize it?

    Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Thanks :)

  12. As a teacher of children with autism, I have noticed with some children there is a significant decrease in negative behaviors on a gluten free diet. I however have seen the opposite with others and seen no effect. From my experience over the past six years, it is a case by case basis, but more often then not in my students it seems as thought it has helped with children with more aggressive behaviors.

  13. I don't know about low tri numbers or the anion gap, but I can tell you that once a month right before my cycle I get very sore quads. Could it be a low level of some sort of hormone due to your thyroid? Now i'm not sure if "coffetime" is male or female, but either way, both genders go through a hormonal cycle. (For example, my students, even male, on seizure meds always change side effects the same one week in the month). Like I said I don't know about the tri numbers or anion gap, but just a thought related to your thyroid.
