    I think someone already posted about this, but it deserves a second airing! I just made a loaf of gluten (and dairy) free bread from a mix by Breads From Anna. This bread is amazing. The texture is exactly like real bread, it's chewy and stretchy and light. Tastes fantastic. Next time I think I will replace the olive oil with (DF) butter and maybe substitute...

    Hi Nancy How annoying!! I know how you feel though - my symptoms started at 18 and I only just found out how to fix them this year, aged 30. Doctors were useless - tried to treat (aka mask) the individual symptoms, rather than find the actual cause - and in the end it was a bit of luck, a lot of research and months of process of elimination until...

    After 3 months gluten-free wouldn't a biopsy automatically be negative? Lorka - a lot of celiac's are the reverse. I lost 8lbs when I first went gluten free and gain a few each time I get glutened.

    I have the low-carb/gluten-free dilemma too. My solution right now is to make the nicest bread I can find but only once a month! Stick it in the freezer and then just pop a slice in the toaster every couple of days. It's turned a staple into a special treat, which is a bit sad but at least it means $6.50 per loaf doesn't seem as crazy. I'm thinking...

    From what I understand (please anybody correct me if I'm wrong), a casein intolerance (as determined by the enterolab test or similar antibody test) is a life-long thing, just like gluten intolerance. Casein can do the same damage as gluten except it's very rare that it damages the intestinal villi. It can still cause trouble with the immune system though...

    I hear ya... that's why my name is cornbread after all!

    Did you make it from scratch or from a bread mix? I've found the mixes turn out great every time - I've tried Bob's Red Mill 'Wonderful Homemade gluten-free Bread Mix' (white bread) and bought a case of the Breads From Anna bread, which is brown and reputed to be the most amazing, real bread-like gluten-free bread. I'm going to make some tonight and find...

    I buy my Organic Food Bars at Whole Foods. I thought those Think bars were gross!

    Katzmeow, thanks for that. Interesting read. This makes sense. I know that even the tiniest amount of gluten (ie: licking an envelope) is too much for my body because it tells me so. However, it would be nice to think that after the immune response has died down (about 5 days later in my case), then I am pretty much back to how I was before...

    THanks for the tip Nini. I googled them - here's a link to their gluten/casein free stuff if anyone needs it: Open Original Shared Link

    He now has contact info on his site, and reveals his identitiy in full It won't let me post a direct link to the page because his new site has t-r-i-p-o-d in the address! But there is a link from the site mentioned above. I had kept 'testing' myself with corn, but every time I got instant bloating and intestinal discomfort (followed by a...

    Hi Kasey's Mom I personally really like the Open Original Shared Link.

    There was a similar post a week or two ago: Open Original Shared Link Might find some more people's symptom lists there.

    Bobcatgirl - do you make fish sushi or just veggie stuff? I would love to eat it at home but am too scared about the purchasing/transportation/preparation of raw fish... Even so, veggie sushi would be great! Any tips? Recipes?
  15. cornbread
    Thanks Claire - this is the kind of info I was looking for. The theoretical question now is, if we can not guarantee that we will be 100% gluten free 365 days a year (I shoot for just that but with cross-contamination accidents will probably only manage maybe 360), should we just go ahead and eat it everyday anyway? (obviously not - it's a theoretical question...

    I believe maltodextrin is made from corn. Confusing cos malt is barley and dextrin is wheat, but maltodextrin is gluten-free. Weird name, but safe.

    Rachel, I switched our cats to Precise: Open Original Shared Link We have 2 very senior cats and a young adult cat. Until now they were on two different brands of food (and older cats needing anti-hairball senior food). With Precise we switched them all to the same stuff, the Feline Hairball formula. All 3 of them love it (as does my friend's dog...

    Ok, I've found that info on spices I was looking for: Open Original Shared Link "Spices and Seasonings Pure spices are gluten free. Bottled spices often contain something to keep the spice free flowing. Usually it's silicon dioxide, which is gluten free. If a spice container does not have a list of ingredients on the label, the only thing it contains...

    Thanks Elisabet! I'll get the test ordered. So hoping it's just lactose...!

    Hi Bette, I think if your Worcestershire sauce doesn't list soy sauce then you should be ok - most of them have it though. Tamarind is the pulp of a fruit! (so gluten free). I just found this out here: Open Original Shared Link I thought I read somewhere that if there are no ingredients listed on mixed spices other than 'herbs/spices', then they...

    Hi CeliacMe Here's the link to the test kit from York: Open Original Shared Link
  22. cornbread
    Hi again Yes - you can get wheat free soy sauce. Tastes exactly the same. I get the San J wheat free low sodium version (the wheat free regular sodium is really salty). I just used my oven for the jerky. I presumed a dehydrator was needed (I have one ordered actually), but the jerky gun instructions showed me how to make it in the oven. It...

    I used to get a little bit of excema on my hands before I went gluten-free. Now I get it back only when I get glutened. I would conclude it's related to gluten.

    Hi Brian, Please, definitely ALWAYS ask questions when dining out - I get severe symptoms (so I know for sure when I've eated gluten), and when I used to dine out right after going gluten-free I would just pick what I thought to be 'safe' options on the menu, and about 50% of the time I would get contaminated, either through a hidden ingredient or just...

    I read up a little on it since I posted, and that sounds about right, yes. In which case I'm pretty sure my test will be negative (being gluten free for 6 months). Which in itself is a good thing. I am still waiting for York to send me my food intolerance test results. Mailed back my blood sample 4 weeks ago, but I know they've been closed due to...
