Sorry Missy'sMom I didn't mean to come on all 'knowy' and I do realise you have been at this a lot longer than I have. However although I was only recently diagnosed, I have been trying to get the bottom of my condition for about 20 years or more *I honestly can't remember, its been going on so long*. Also I used to own a wholefood shop so I have...

Hi Missy'sMom Poor you, I do empathise, its not easy being us, is it? However, there is hope. Apart from the flours already mentioned there are more: Banana flour Buckwheat flour Carob flour Chickpea flour - also called Gram or Garbanzo Millet flour Quinoa flour Rice flour Soya flour Its trial and error really using...

I'm veggie and gluten/wheat free. I really miss a nice veggie 'sausage' for a sandwich.

Go figure. I read somewhere that pea fibre is 'allergen free'. Oh please.

Thanks! I was beginning to think it was just me.

How much uncooked quinoa would that be?

Hi everyone I am a vegetarian, trying to eat sufficient protein which is somewhat challenging given that I cannot tolerate Soy Protein and many pulses. At the end of last year my staple high protein, low fat food, Quorn, changed their recipe to include Pea Fibre. I quickly, and painfully, discovered that I had a problem with pea fibre. Has anyone...

Thanks all, lots of ideas for me to go from. FS xx

Hi I have just found a recipe for using a pizza base for a dessert. I've honestly never heard of this! Have any of you tried doing this, if so what kind of toppings would you use apart from chocolate spread which I've seen? Thanks - FS xx

This sounds seriously good and will definitely be trying it. I don't like Cilantro but would put in some spices like ground chilli, cumin etc. Yummy. xx

Thanks peeps. Flaked coconut a grand idea, but husband dislikes coconut, so think I shall stick with the rolled rice, quinoa and millet, and some seeds and fruit always go in anyway.

Ah, I see we are divided by our common language. Thank you all so much, but especially to Auzzi, who has realised my mistake. Your recipe looks delicious and I shall certainly be trying it. As I don't use muesli, I think I shall try your mix. I thought perhaps rolled millet but I hadn't thought of rolled rice, I shall seek it out at the local...

Hi I am beginning to bake again as my husband loves my home baking. I have successfully converted many of my favourite recipes, but I would love to make him some of my flapjack recipe. I don't wish to try gluten-free Oats as I am particularly sensitive and don't want to risk it. Has anyone tried using a different grain in flapjacks? FS xx

I noticed a marked improvement almost straight away, but I did have lots of flare ups. I am still very sensitive to tummy bloat after 9 months gluten free. At first I found I was very sensitive to corn. Now, I'm okay with some products containing corn, but not others. I think it may depend, for me, on the quantity of corn in the product. I have just...

I had this with my blood test just before Xmas. Doctor asked me to retest in three weeks time, left it till last week as I had a cold after Xmas. Test result today and tested 'normal'. I think I was just fighting a virus, perhaps you were too. Keep being alert (as we always have to be!) but try not to be alarmed, as your Dr is just trying to take care...
