I am guessing instead of FWIW she meant to say, so far. I sometimes make mistakes in speaking and when questioned have said "Listen to what I mean and not what I say."

In answer to the question, I was not told the level of the IGE but only that it was very very high and I was referred to an allergist. The allergist said that since it caused me digestive symptoms only that it was not a true allergy but an intolerance but he did no further bloodwork on me. And so my digestive disease doctor and allergist I was sent to disagree...

I know you are sensitive to corn to which I also am. If you could find it you might use a brand called Pomi for a fast sauce. I get it at my local Shoprite grocery store. They have chopped tomatoes, strained tomatoes and marinara sauce which comes in a 26 oz. square cardboard box container. They are from Italy and marked no artificial flavour, no perservatives...

I would think that Goya canned beans would be made with Goya dried beans. I can tell you that the Goya dried beans packages say that they may contain wheat and soybean.

Perhaps you could try making your own using Lactaid Milk which is 100 % lactose free and is what I do in order to have it. You would need a yogurt maker, and a strainer. There is a strainer called Euro-Cuisine which sells for about $25 and makes Greek style yogurt. As for yogurt makers there are many various ones available to suit personal needs such as...

I seem to not to be able to get away with anything as far as corn is concerned. A bloodwork test on me a couple of years ago called IGE was very very high and doctor then did further bloodwork test which showed corn to be a problem for me. At the time I was just told not to have corn in addition to the other things but I was not told and did not know all...

I use potato vodka when vodka is called for and in recipes such as vodka alla penne or making my own vanilla extract. I go to the liquor store and specifically ask for types of potato vodka they have. I use a brand called vesica which is triple distilled and imported from Poland. It is relatively inexpensive but some other brands of potato vodka are quite...

I would like to add that bread machines are not as forgiving as making your own bread from scratch. Be very careful with using the exact measurements of things. You also should get a machine that has 2 paddles in it as glutenfree bread mixture doesn't mix together that easy, and a few minutes after the machine starts mixing you should open the top and push...

I only use a bread machine for my bread and have done so for a few years now. I think the pricey brand you may be referring to is Zojirushi. I use the same one I had for over 10 years when I had to switch to glutenfree but I program in the settings for the rise and bake times as glutenfree bread does not need as much rise time and needs more bake time. I...

I could not tolerate Rice Chex but came to know that it is because of corn. Initially, I did not have knowledge of all the many corn derivatives. I also could not even tolerate honey and then found out they feed bees corn syrup often in winter months and it is present in the honey so I now use sugar or agave nectar. A lot of problems for me because derivatives...

Andi...I am also allergic to many medications and I have had many problems with blood pressure medications and the worst being with Diltiazem 24 hr. ER. However, I can only tell you my experience and I know all of us react differently to things. I cannot take many blood pressures medications in the first place which have a diuretic effect because I...

I urge you to immediately have your gall bladder checked especially since it showed inflammation in the past. And that was a considerably long time ago. I am not trying to alarm or scare you but a possibly inflammed gall bladder with stones in it could perforate on you causing big and I mean big problems for you. I would like to tell you something else which...

I use a rice called A Taste of Thai Jasmine Rice. I also cannot tolerate oats as well as corn and soy. It has never given me a bit of problems, is grown in Thailand, and labeled Glutenfree, and best of all is delicious and takes only 15 minutes to cook in a pan on the stove. I get it at my local ShopRite grocery store but it is not with the regular rices...

King Arthur flour sells a product called Cake Enhancer which I use and think is somewhat similar to Expandex. They also are now selling Organic Glutenfree Buckwheat flour and the price is $8.95 for 2lb. The cake enhancer is $7.95 for 10oz. and they suggest using 1 tablespoon per cup of flour but I found that with the blend I use which contains sorghum flour...

Jorona...I would recommend a cookbook called gluten-free Makeovers by Beth Hillson. Of all my many glutenfree cookbooks this one by far has been the most helpful to me even with using a bread machine. The author even has the same brand and model bread machine as me. There is also a section in the back of the book where substitutions for things are listed...
