    Thanks for posting this recipe...I've been wanting some type of Vances ice cream recipe for a while and haven't felt like experimenting. I'm going to use Chatfield's Carob Powder for the cocoa ingredient though(Im allergic to cocoa). Also, good to know about that ice cream maker - Ive been indecisive about which brand to purchase.

    Unfortunately there aren't any cheese substitutes available that don't contain soy or milk ingredients. Even rice and nut based cheese use either soy or milk proteins. That being said there is a company that makes cheese-like sauce from nutritional yeast (its gluten, soy and milk free) called Chreese by Roads End Organics - they have a site at www.chreese...

    I have had hypoglycemia since being a teenager. It wasn't so bad at first, but got worse as I got older. I've been gluten free for 5 years and it hasn't seemed to improve. What's worse is that I am on a beta-blocker for some heart problem and it makes the hypoglycemia worse. I basically eat 6 small meals a day - about 350 calories every 3 hours. And I...

    I was diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia at the same time as Celiac Disease. My doctor thought to check for it because I was complaining of leg cramps or tingling (like they were falling asleep). For five years I have been getting a weekly injection and it really helps. I was having a problem with candida before and that improved on the B12. Its true the...

    I would use York Labs, Open Original Shared Link they have a comprehensive home blood test kit that checks for 96 foods in the US test. They also have a European test. On their site they detail how the test works and information about allergy reactions. You have to pay outright for the test as they don't accept insurance, but you can always submit a claim...

    I would mention Sans Gluten, www.sansgluten.com which has a selection of Celiac Disease awareness and related conditions products such as apparel, accessories, housewares and gifts. Proceeds are donated to Celiac and allergy research. Sunni

    He really should visit a cardiologist to rule some things out. My cardiologist did several tests that proved my heart was healthy and then recommended me for several neurological tests, such as the tilt table and a sleep study. This is how they determined my tachycardia was a dysautonomia. (As I mentioned in a previous post, a group of doctors from Mayo figured...

    Dear Richard, A few years ago I have actually read (with my own eyes - not a rumor) on an ingredients label for those big frozen self-basting turkeys at Thanksgiving flavorings that included butter and gluten. Now, this may not be the case in recent brands, however I haven't gone searching in a while. I always opt for brands that are completely natural...

    I always try to buy meats that list natural or minimally processed on the label. As someone else mentioned glazed hams often contain gluten. Some turkeys are injected with flavorings which may contain gluten, or at least their gravy packet will contain it. Prepackaged deli meats may have gluten and fillers, so always confirm first. When having deli meats...

    I have read in several articles that tampons and even pads made by mainstream brands often treat the items with chemicals as well as formaldehyde. These chemicals can definitely cause allergic reactions and skin sensitivity. So, it might not even be a gluten issue, but some other chemical or ingredient. Perhaps you should look for natural women's care...

    You should definitely try an entire B-complex for energy and immune boost. I personally think that Klaire Labs has the best vitamins/supplements, www.klairelabs.com They can be purchased at Family Pharmacy of Sarasota online at Open Original Shared Link Here are some others: Freeda Vitamins www.freedavitamins.com Douglas Labs www.douglaslabs...

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions to check out. Also the recipe gives me something to try, at least I can experiment and personalize it. I just heard about Mother's Mountain BBQ Sauce and wondered has anyone else tried that - it seems to not include soy, eggs, gluten or dairy. Sunni
  15. specialdiets
    I have tons of allergies, and so cannot find any bottled BBQ sauce that is gluten free, soy free, dairy free (and yeast free). I would settle for an easy recipe too if anyone has one. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!! Sunni

    I asked my mother what the gallbladder function test was called so you could request it. She said it was a 'nuclear scan'. Hope this helps. Sunni

    Just visit www.kinnikinnick.com I also like many of the mixes from Miss Roben, most are corn and soy free. www.missroben.com I totally agree with the difficult baking with multiple restrictions. Its really difficult to make a yeast free and gluten free bread. Still working on it myself. This is why I was so dissappointed when Kinnikinnick stopped...

    I have had tachycardia that is not heart related for years and was put on Inderal to control it. It is worse at night/during sleep. I went through tons of extensive Mayo clinic tests that showed I had mild autonomic dysfunction (dysautonomia) which is basically a nervous system disorder that is causing these heart fluctuations. A group of docs agreed...

    My mother had similar pains for 7 weeks. Initial gallbladder tests didn't reveal stones or problems. However, she had some test that checked the functioning of the gallbladder and it showed it was only working at about 20%. She had surgery to remove it and the doctor stated that it was just diseased...no stones. However, it took 3 visits to the ER and about...

    My allergist stated that people with bowel conditions like Celiac Disease and Crohn's are more likely to get multiple food allergies. The injury to the bowel makes it difficult to digest many different proteins, which pass undigested through the gastrointestinal tract. Over time the body will develop an immune response to these foods. It is common to have...

    I have pernicious anemia and my doctor prescribed B12 injections every week. I really couldn't live without them, it helps my energy level and pretty much eliminated a candida problem I had prior to diagnosis. The doc just prescribes the needles and B12 for me, and I get my mom or husband to inject (although I could probably do it myself). I've had several...

    Arrowroot, Tapioca Starch, Cornstarch and Potato Starch can all be used interchangeably. I personally use Tapioca for things like puddings and gravies because it has a more gelatinous quality, produces a smooth result and freezes well, whereas cornstarch and potato starch are more flour-like. I usually use potato starch for most baking recipes and cornstarch...

    Andrew & Everett cheese ingredients include milk which does have casein protein in it - therefore not safe for anyone with an actual milk allergy. However, they state it is gluten free which makes it ok for celiacs without an allergy. Open Original Shared Link Sunni
