BAH! never! although I like those lacy mantillas. Remember those? does anyone still wear those? But I like this hat! This hat would make me look like hubs. He has a fluffy beard. -

ARCHIVED Dow Bread Enhancer
IrishHeart replied to kareng's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I suspect you will have more bowel movements, for starters. That's a lot of fiber. -
Hot Buckwheat cereal with maple syrup and banana. Quinoa flakes with agave syrup and berries. Paleo bread (made with coconut and almond flour and flax seed)-moist and delicious, with some butter. These are all full of protein and fiber and keep me going for hours. ETA: um, "going"--as in energy-wise--not "going" to the loo In...

ARCHIVED Went gluten-free In Support And Found Out You Had It?
IrishHeart replied to Jestgar's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
People have to feel as shi**y as we did to want to try gluten-free living. People have to be as deathly ill, in pain and pushed to the brink of despair to say "Okay, maybe it IS the gluten." I prodded a dear friend of mine about this until I feared I would risk our friendship (she is a celiac for sure, IMO but a celiac panel years ago was neg and... -

ARCHIVED 1 Year In And Numbers Aren't Where They Should Be
IrishHeart replied to Gluten Free Girls's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The gluten on envelopes is just a myth, hon. Do not worry about that, ok? She could just be taking a long time to heal, although, in children, healing is usually faster. I know many people do fine with GEs in the house, but whenever I hear that someone is not healing after a year, I always suggest that cross-contamination may be the problem. No... -

IrishHeart replied to MitziG's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Very cool. Sounds delish!!!!! I am not familiar with Hy Vee (I live in NY state) but if you meet ANY guy who can cook, LISTEN to you, fulfill your needs, and you ATE WELL and safely? well, honey, you just hit the mother lode. Who needs a bun if you have all that? Congrats on having a stellar day!!! -
ARCHIVED Homemade Flour
IrishHeart replied to Mom23boys's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Congrats on your culinary success! I am sure Mom feels good today! You could try this next time (she lists measurements for baking powder, gelatin, etc) which may help with the "crumbly aspect": Open Original Shared Link -

I wear size 8 )oh you mean my neighbor? he's always barefoot) .... but it really was foolish of me to wear them-- and the fishnets ---while zip-lining. But they did help break my fall. -

ARCHIVED Dow Bread Enhancer
IrishHeart replied to kareng's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I am betting it is more like a tapioca starch. What else would "blow up" baked goods? But yes, having it come from a "chemical" company does give one pause. I may order a sample just for kicks! -
ARCHIVED Went gluten-free In Support And Found Out You Had It?
IrishHeart replied to Jestgar's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
People without a gluten intolerance should be able to consume gluten once a day, once a week or once a decade and not have a problem with it. Someone does not "lose the ability to digest it" by going "gluten light or low gluten" unless he had NO ability to tolerate it in the first place. This is how someone test foods for sensitivities.
