    He's looking into a new one right now, as we speak. Unfortunately he's already missing the concept of being able to 'toss and knead' dough and he wanted to know of any gluten free bread recipes that you can 'knead'. Would love it if any of you had some ideas on the component that helps regular dough develop it's tenderness and elasticity. Just about...

    It seems like heaps of the Cadbury chocolates in the UK don't have soy lecithin in them. Is this true?

    I use Amedei chocolate! Their products are made in a gluten and soy lecithin free environment. My baking dreams came true once I tried their chocolate. I also really like that it doesn't contain soy either (unlike virtually ALL other chocolates out there). Their dark chocolates are extremely child-friendly and you would think they contained emulsifiers...

    This is exactly the reason that I am AGAINST the Coeliac Society of Australia! They are planning to change the legislation in Australia so that 20ppm is allowed in our food. The ACCC to date have refused to take their request on board, thank goodness

    I'm Vitamin D deficient too! Unfortunately I don't spend too much time in the sun but I also don't know about how safe getting Vitamin D capsules is (especially if I would overdose - which apparently is easy to do)...

    Naw... Usually less than that (probably 2-3% to be approximate).

    He had to get blood test results and has a series of results (ideal range in brackets): Basophils 0.00 (<0.20) Eosinophils 0.04 (0.03-0.40) Monocytes 0.5 (0.2-1.0) Lymphocytes 1.6 (1.0-4.0) Neutrophils 1.5 (2.0-7.5) White Cell Count is low. Is this a sign of mononucleosis? I know he's pretty sick at the moment so if you could tell...

    Stress, anxiety and a range of other feelings and emotions can arise when going away. Some of these factors are thought to be an activation mechanism for the celiac gene. Some of the naturally gluten free foods you may be consuming could have 'trace residues' of gluten present. I also believe that 'gluten reactions' could be stronger when there is a...

    I don't think they do burgers. Their gluten free buns aren't that great, though IMO I took BurgerFuel to task over their false gluten free advertising a while back. Some of their NZ locations use separate toasters, but none in Sydney do. They also state that their Fries are safe even though they're cooked in the same oil as their beer-battered...

    Do you think, if they aren't busy, that they'd be willing to microwave your gluten free bun instead? I'll be back in Canberra soon and I think they may have one (or two) up there now too?! Perhaps they could also handle the meats separately (and use separate condiment pots (though I find it highly unlikely the staff would accommodate to this level))...

    Right now, for the past week, I've been in Melbourne.

    So many parts per million! Gee, no wonder this epidemic of celiac disease is rising
  13. kellynolan82
    I've always been somewhat keen on the science behind gluten and wondered how much gluten (in terms of parts per million) would be present in a piece of cake (sample recipe below, where flour occupies under half of the cake ingredients): Ingredients (serves 12) 200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped 200g butter, softened 1 cup dark brown sugar...

    Grill'd is the name of the chain.
  16. kellynolan82
    It's a brand that manufactures liners to protect from cross-contamination. You can find them via Google Search
  17. kellynolan82
    I will encourage him to do that. Apparently his kitchen has a notice on the wall warning people that *small traces* of allergens may be present in all deep fried items. I think contaminated oil is more than *small traces* but anyway he does avoid those items. He's a nice guy, fairly shy though. I don't think he has directly spoken to the staff about...

    I'd LOVE That. Yes please...

    What exactly do you mean by the term "Bison"?
  20. kellynolan82
    This is extremely dangerous. The damage that occurs from such activity is not worth the pleasure of eating a palatable bun. The reaction, whilst often not that noticeable on the outside, from each of these sorts of incidents could last several months. There is absolutely no way on earth that this dietary regime can be healthy, particularly if affected...

    How can they call the Kikkoman sauce Tamari though? Especially if it has rice in it. I always thought Tamari was just a combination of water, soybeans and salt; and Shoyu (regular soy sauce) was a combination of water, soybeans, wheat and salt.
  22. kellynolan82
    I agree. I think there are many places (as mentioned before) that really do want to make our experiences good ones. I think that sometimes there just isn't a great deal of awareness and I think that'll come more with time. Just remember, if in doubt, leave it out..

    The pizza joint does not seem to be interested. And we're not going to push it either. He's looking at getting a new job. This is really quite a tough time for him. I continue to tell him that he's lucky he has discovered this so early on. He now moans that he wishes he had just stayed on a normal diet until he was out of university, and that he was 45 (the...

    I have heard of many stories with making gluten free gravy, some sound good others sound bad. I myself have personally never bothered making gravy AT ALL in my ENTIRE LIFE. I have two questions: 1. I do hear, however, that for those (like me) who miss the traditional kind of gravy thickened with a wheaten roux; sticky rice flour works really well...

    I will see what I can do. Someone on another site just suggested Simply Delightful. I'm not sure whether you can order from them over here in Australia but I'm sure they'd be useful!
