    I can't find it now, but I read somewhere (maybe even here) that eggs that are exposed to air - fried or poached for example, are not as likely to make you feel nausea as those cooked in the shell. Something about sulfer maybe? I don't remember. All I know is that boiled eggs were making me sick and when I started frying them instead, they have never bothered...

    I'm going to make the fritters tomorrow night. The healthfood store is closed so I can't get the rice flour until tomorrow. But THEN...breadlike substance! YEE-HA!

    I'm not sure about sals. I thought so at first because I react VERY badly to asperin. But asperin has WAY more sals than foods. I can't eat even organic blueberries, but I do fine with broccoli. I eat lots of it almost every day. I know I'm getting better though because a couple of months ago I couldn't eat non-organic sweet potatoes, and now I can. I...

    Oh THANK YOU!! I'm not sure if I can do coconut yet. I don't really like coconut, but I bought some of the oil because I haven't been able to use other oils. But I am going to try these and I'll let you know. I keep losing wieght in spite of all the ice cream I eat. Maybe these will help me to stop losing and stay where I am. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...

    I think so. The gluten-free flour will have to be rice flour, the baking powder will have to be home made. (Baking powder has corn starch so I make it with baking soda and cream of tartar), and I haven't tried it yet, but I have some coconut oil. Could I use butter if that doesn't work for me?

    Oh yeah, Dani, I am sorry too. My head just isn't on straight today.

    Thanks PricklyPear. I just went over and looked, and it's not looking good. Most have SOMETHING I can't have. But I was thinking, maybe I could do a club soda bread. Using rice flour. Um, maybe not. It'd probably taste worse than EnerG rice bread. So far, white rice is the only grain I can tolerate. Maybe I'd better just leave well enough alone. Off...

    I never liked cooking and now I HAVE to. And I'm not good at it. So on top of not being able to eat the foods I used to love, now I'm stuck eating my own lousy cooking. Talk about a cruel joke! You could almost say it's a tasteless joke. OK, sorry. I don't know what to tell you except that you'll get used to it. My Dad had severe asthma, and as the years...

    I am SO sensitive to corn, and xanthan gum is grown on corn. I can't have almonds either so the almond flour is out. I've pretty much accepted that I'll never have bread again.
  10. bartfull
    Oh yeah, and is it easy for a non-cook to make?
  11. bartfull
    Does it have no corn or xanthan gum? Or potato flour/starch? If so, yes please!
  12. bartfull
    I can't eat them anymore either. I AM sensitive to sals (I found that out when I took some asperin) so I thought sals must be the problem, but I can eat other high sals foods so I don't know. Asperin has MUCH higher sals than most foods, and I know they are cumulative, but I can eat a ton of broccoli every day and never have a problem. So I just switched...

    Then there's Dead Bread Head for those who would "die without bread". I wouldn't die without bread, but I just might kill for a slice of bread I could eat!

    I get psoriasis flares, but no GI symptoms to speak of. I am self-diagnosed so I am not really sure I have Celiac. I just know that when I eat gluten or corn, my psoriasis flares. I also get brain fog and insomnia. I started the diet almost one year ago and I have lost over 40 pounds. I think it's because of the corn intolerance - it means I can't eat...

    Uncle Ben's ASSURED me that they don't use any corn whatsoever. I too am extremely sensitive to corn, and Uncle Ben's has never given me any problems. It's a good thing too because the only two rices available here are Uncle Ben's and Minute Rice.

    "Dear Abby, My wife and I, along with some friends, took a small vacation on an island. My wife has food allergies so she brought her own food, and suggested the rest of us eat at a restaurant. Although most everything on their menu contained, or was possibly cross contaminated with one or more of her allergens, my wife was so angry that I ordered pizza...

    My most reliable Celiac symptom is psoriasis. Potatoes of any kind - russets, red potatoes, gold potatoes, and even organic potatoes, make my psoriasis flare badly. I don't really like tomatoes or peppers, and it's hard to find decent eggplant where I live, so I don't know if it's because I am intolerant to nightshades, but I assume that is the problem. ...

    I wear cargo pants and put my "sandwich" in one of the pockets. Then I find a semi-secluded place to eat it. I understand that they want you to buy food from them instead of bringing your own, but that is ridiculous. They should fire that person!

    I've been on the diet for almost a year now, and I felt so incredibly great at first it was a real shock when things went back downhill. But FINALLY I think I've turned the corner. I think I read here that it takes an average of 18 months to figure it all out. So be patient, keep a food diary, and know that it WILL get better. In the meantime, you can...

    I'd just give them away.

    George Foreman grills have come WAY down in price, and they are a great way to cook meats AND vegetables. If you're used to eating the breaded and deep fried stuff, baking in the oven or crockpot isn't going to give you that satifying crunch. But food cooked on the George gets really crispy in the outside and stays tender on the inside. As someone who used...

    I asked the question because I don't get digestive symptoms, even from gluten. Psoriasis is the only sure fire way I can tell if I have been glutened (or corned). I KNOW that even though I don't get digestive symptoms from those two, they are causing damage to my villi. I was just wondering if other things that cause a psoriasis flare were ALSO cauing intestinal...

    No, sorry I wasn't clear. Organic sweet potatoes have never given me any problems at all. Regular sweet potatoes never gave me any of my main symptoms (psoriasis, insomnia, brain fog) but they DID give me D - even though gluten never gave me D. At first I thought maybe my body couldn't handle the fiber in sweet potatoes, but when I tried organic and had...

    He he he. I've been struggling with a bit of C lately, and it occurred to me that when I ate non-organic sweet potatoes, D was my only symptom. (Organic sweet potatoes don't do this to me.) They didn't bother my psoriasis at all, nor my sleep, brain fog, etc. So I thought, rather than trying to find a laxative that is free of all my "poisons", I'd just go...

    I use Kraft Monterray Jack all the time. Melts beautifully, tastes good, and I know it's safe. I just thought I'd mention that because I just happened to be eating some as I read this post!
