    Let me know how it goes.

    That's awesome!! It really does give a bit of a feeling of normalacy when you can have something as simple as bread.

    I mixed it with other flours. Unfortunately, one of them was tapioca. It was 3 cups cornstarch, 3 cups tapioca flour, 2 cups garfava flour (it's a combination of garbanze beans (chickpeas) and fava beans and a cup of the sorghum flour. You might be able to replace the tapioca with Teff. Teff is used for Ethiopian breads which I *love*. I've never tried...

    I think it was Bob's Red Mill, but I can double check. It wasn't hard to find at all. Whole Foods had it, and I bet any of the gluten-free online stores would carry it.

    Totally! I just decided over Christmas to get creative and see what happens. I'd be in a much easier place to do that if I could tolerate dairy or rice or soy flour (or rice or soy milk for that matter). You can buy commercial gluten-free all-purpose flours fairly cheaply, but most are rice flour based. But if you can have it, go for it as it really does...

    I honestly didn't do anything special, except used lactose-free margarine (Fleischmenns) and used dairy-free semi-sweet morsels (ghiradeli's are wonderful for this). I added a bit more flour and baking powder so the cookies would rise. The recipe I used was Nestle's Tollhouse cookie recipe. 2 1/4 cups gluten-free flour (add more if the dough is a bit...

    Here's a few others I make. My DH, wwho isn't celiac loves these and regularly inhales them. Lemon Mustard Chicken Except for the chicken, the rest of this isn’t really measured, so these are my best guesses. I just chuck a bunch of the stuff together until it “looks right” 2 1/2 to 3 lbs. boneless, skinless, meaty chicken pieces (I pre...

    I am so stoked!! I was able to do some baking for Christmas this year. I was a big cookie baker and to me it just wasn't Christmas without a mountain of cookies made. I was able to do gluten-free/dairy-free gingerbread cookies with royal icing (No shapes, just round cookies) and chocolate chip cookies. I bought some of the Bette's Four flour blend and...

    No problem. The soup/roast is pretty simple. For stock, I freeze the leftover chicken carcasses, and will either save the bits that come in the chicken or buy fresh chicken gizzards. I rinse them and chuck them in a pot of water with the carcass, a whole onion quartered, either baby carrots or regular carrots cut into thirds or so, several stalks of celery...

    I have a fairly standard rota of food that I make. I make up a weekly menu and then change it every couple of weeks. The current rota is as follows: Sunday is a roast chicken (I got a rotisserie for Christmas) with roast potatoes and roast vegetables (whatever I have on hand still) and then I turn the left-over chicken into a soup from home-made stock...

    I'm allergic to gluten, soy, rice, dairy, nuts (deadly allergic to all of them), and aspartame. I'm not a huge fan of fruit, but *love* my juicer. I've discovered I can eat almost any veggie so long as it's roasted. I still eat beef and chicken, but very little fish (except the occasional salmon) due to the DH not liking fish.

    I think the food I miss the most is dairy. I've not been able to tolerate dairy in about a year. I miss cheese and sour cream on tacos. I found gluten-free taco shells and make my own taco seasoning, but it's CHEESE. Le sigh... I used to miss PopTarts and the like til I remembered what they did to my waistline. Suddenly any urge for them was gone...

    Another thought... did you use baking powder? Some baking powders have gluten in them. You might check to see if yours does. I have been extra careful to get only gluten-free baking powder. I'm sorry they made you so sick. Hope you feel better. I *just* started baking again, using a mix of corn starch, tapioca flour, garfava and sorghum. I...

    Can your son have dairy? What about an ice cream cake? You can check the ingredients to see if the ice cream is all gluten free. Don't know if this would work, but I experimented with a flourless chocolate cake recipe that came out like a fluffy mousse or "souffle" if you will with a fresh raspberry sauce. Can he have eggs? There was no dairy in it...

    Open Original Shared Link has a great selection of gluten-free/DF/sugar-free /soy-free but not taste free bbq sauces. Egg yolk is listed as an ingredient, though.

    This is a serious question to all the long-time pros of handling this disease... How do you go so long without getting glutened?? How do you still go out to eat, go to friends' houses for meals, and such? In other words how can you have this disease and still have a life? I'm not asking in a sarcastic way, believe me. It's just that whatever I...

    It could be a couple of things. It could be the apple skins (for some people the skns of fruit is very difficult to digest, especially if there are other digestive issues going on such as colitis or celiac disease), soy, or the rice. You could try cutting one thing out at a time for a few days and see if it makes a difference. Another thought could be...

    I just needed to get this off my chest. We had a barbeque over here last night. I am always careful about keeping a gluten-free kitchen. One of my friends is pregnant and was craving chips and dip. The dip was a powdered one with gluten. Ok, no problem. Just prep and eat that outside. Chips were just potatoes oil and salt so no issues there. I...

    Tonight I really had one of the best meals I'd mde in a while. There's a whole lng story behind this, but to make it really short, I made a long-standing comfort food of ours, and totally gluten-free - honey barbeque chicken tenders. I had some chicken thawed in the fridge. I also just bought a load of my favourite gluten-free/SF/calorie-free honey...

    Has anyone tried a flour replacement that doesn't have rice flour? The bean flour is a little strong in flavour for bread and cookies, but I can't have rice flour or soy.
  21. Diosa
    For side dishes in our house (I can't have rice or soy, and potatoes only in limited amounts) here's what I make: bean salad (red beans, black beans, chickpeas and corn are the base with a vinegrette) tangy green beans (green beans with red peppers and a Dijon mustard vinegrette) roasted veggies/grilled veggies (roasted carrots are by far my...

    I get glutened from the air. I can't go into any bakeries or nywhere that has baking bread. In fact on my holiday to Wales visiting the future in-laws, I got amazingly sick from his mum (not knowing about that air-bourne problems I have) made garlic bread that made me incredibly sick and caused me t resort to the prescription painkillers for the first...

    My biggest rant right now (besides the usual why the @#$% does everything have gluten in it and how unfair it is that I can't eat what I did even a year ago) is this.. How much it SUCKS not to be able to eat the wedding cupcakes at my own freaking wedding??? It was my mum's recipe and I wanted her to be a part of the wedding in some way, so I still...

    If they'd sell the malt, I'd just do it myself. They have a section for it on the website, but they don't seem to be selling it.

    I love M&M's but can't really cope with milk chocolate at the moment, so I'm feeding my chocolate addiction with Green and Black's Dark and Maya Gold (orange spice) which are gluten-free and dairy-free (they have soya lecithin in it. Does that count as soy?) I was introduced to them by a vegan co-worker in the UK, and they rock. Whole Foods carry them...
