    I am gluten-free, mostly vegetarian and have been vegan at various times and experimented with vegan recipes quite a bit. Your being rice intolerant as well made me think Breads from Anna might be a good mix for you- I am fairly certain that they have variations that are dairy free as well as rice and gluten-free. The recipe calls for eggs, but you can substitute...

    Beyond a possible gluten issue (which I am not personally convinced of), paper towels are quite abrasive. They may also contain dyes that you could have an allergy to. Most doctors that I've spoken to suggest that DH is not a topical issue- but rather that ingestion of gluten results in a DH attack. However, if it seems that paper towels are aggravating your...

    Hi! I lived in Japan for two years and speak and read Japanese, so might be able to help a little. What everyone has said has been very helpful- in particular, you need to be careful with convenience store food as it often has wheat in the form of soy sauce. Even onigiri rice balls can have small amounts of soy sauce on the nori wrapper, or have soy sauce...

    I posted over on your other thread- so hi again! Just a heads up, you might not be allowed to bring your canned salmon through customs, although to memory the US tends to be more strict about "meat"... then again, Vienna was the easiest security/customs experience ever, we basically just walked out so probably no one would notice anyway even if there is a...

    Hi! I just got back from a Gluten-Free trip to India AND Austria, and spent 2 weeks in Austria. It's too bad you have just missed the Christmas market season, because the baked potatoes and roasted chestnuts are a great and very easy gluten-free snack. I would suggest you make your first stop a Reformhaus (health food store)- you can find them at this site...

    Oyster sauce is tricky. There was one at my local Chinese market that did not obviously contain gluten, and when I checked their web site they said it was gluten free, but whenever I used it I had definite symptoms. It was processed in Hong Kong, so I don't know if it was a cross contamination issue in the factory or what. Right now I am using one I found...

    You can mail order it from Bob's Red Mill or Ener-g foods, or even Amazon. They now have a terrific selection of gluten free stuff in their "grocery" section and the best part is that if you spend over a certain amount, shipping is free. Yay! As people mentioned, Chinese or Japanese markets will sell tapioca starch as well. It's called katakuriko in Japanese...

    Actually, a lot of tamari unfortunately has wheat in it, so you still need to read the label carefully. The tamari sold at Japanese markets almost always has wheat in it. Health food store tamaris are far more promising. San-J is an excellent option for wheat free soy sauce- especially their low sodium variety (make sure you get the one clearly marked wheat...

    Hi there! I make a lot of Bette Hagman breads, and I think they taste better than any mix, but they do require a little fiddling. The breads using bean flour tend to last longer than the lower protein breads, so I recommend the bean flour blends. Also adding xanthan gum is really important. I leave out the gelatin as I am vegetarian, but that might help as...

    I make an eggplant parmesan that's a little different from the average. I take spices, olive oil and balsalmic vinegar (sometimes hardly any olive oil if I'm watching calories) and dip eggplant slices in the vinagrette- then I bake them in the oven on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. I turn then when they're browned so both sides can get...

    Tamari is NOT soy free. It is sometimes (but not always) wheat/ gluten free.

    Just a question- wondering if you are also soy intolerant, as Starbucks offers Soy Milk as an option for their lattes and mochas etc. I found that soy milk worked really well for foaming, back when I was vegan. Rice milk foams less, but has a nice neutral flavor that is especially good with white chocolate for a whilte chocolate mocha. You do have to be...

    I lived in Japan for two years and frequently make Japanese food at home so I thought I would jump in here. I have personally never had a problem with wasabi. While it is true that most wasabi available in the states is not made from actual wasabi, it is instead made from horseradish, which does not contain gluten. You might have some concern about the...

    I see you already went on your trip, but in case others are planning on a trip to New York, check out this web page Open Original Shared Link They have quite a few reviews of cool gluten-free places in the area...

    I lived in Boulder, Colorado - and let me tell you, there are more health food stores than regular grocery stores there! It was terrific and spoiled me for life. The Vitamin Cottage has a fabulous selection of gluten free products, and is located all over Colorado. Then of course there's also the Wild Oats chain, and Whole Foods- even the selection in regular...

    I have to second this- I went on practically the same trip- Florence, Venice, Rome and it was a bit challenging. I did have some very fishy risotto in Venice... their pub snacks worked out fairly well also. But, I also do not speak Italian. I have heard rave reviews from people who spoke Italian and/or lived there... It's just hard knowing where to go when...

    I used both Toffuti and Soy Dream with absolutely no problem, as well as Silk. You might try Silk's eggnog during the holiday season. Also, Amazake's almond eggnog (only available at holiday time) is SOOOO yummy! It is my favorite. I would also recommend nutritional yeast in general- it's very tasty and you can make some good cheese substitutes with...
