    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...

    If you have Celiacs and suspect a corn intolerance I suggest you avoid all obvious corn products as well as deriveratives for a while and see how you do. I know everyone is different and their bodies react differently but I ended up with a severe corn intolerance several months after going glutenfree. Several months after a bloodwork test showing a very very...

    Applegate organics makes an uncured bacon called Sunday Bacon and it is labeled gluten and casein free and with no nitrites or nitrates added. Two people in my family had reactions to what we believe must be MSG. My nephew got a pounding headache and collapsed after eating Chinese takeout. Someone here in the house with me suddenly had trouble breathing...

    I wonder if you have a soy intolerance as I have noticed all rice cakes I ever saw have soy ingredients in them and so I can't have them. Instead of rice cakes which I can't have I will use a cracker called Brown Rice Snaps (Toasted Onion) which I like but they are thin and crispy compared to rice cakes and the company that makes them is Edward & Sons...

    I have had slow cookers since they first came out many years ago and they do cook things at such a higher temp than they used to. I have become disgusted with trying to use them for many things. To me they seem to need much less time than the recipe recommends and they often boil over spilling out. Usually I will put them on high for about an hour than decrease...

    I don't know of any cookbooks, and I wish someone would write one, on where to even begin when having to go suddenly glutenfree. A book that just answers simple questions such as I want to make turkey or chicken gravy and am used to using wheat flour so what is the best glutenfree flour to use instead. Or I want to make a white sauce for scalloped potatoes...

    The cookbook I am referring to that is most helpful to me is called gluten-free Makeovers by Beth Hillson. And I think it a good book for anyone beginning a glutenfree diet. I wish I had it as my first book as the other ones seemed to overwhelm me, make things more complicated than necessary, and ask for things that were the author's own preference instead...

    You are right about there being so many glutenfree cookbooks out there. I have about 25 of them and there is only one that suits my tastes. Not only is the author from my specific area of the country where we are used to certain foods but she gives substitutions for many things which is most helpful to me since I also can't have corn or soy. And she uses...

    Organic roasted buckwheat groats (also known as Kasha). My box here is by a company called Pocono. There are instructions on the back of the box with basic directions and a recipe for Kasha Pilaf. And it also says Kasha can be added to soups, casseroles, stuffings, and other recipes. I also love quinoa but mostly for now I just eat the quinoa flakes as...

    I agree everyone should be cautious. I always check my refill at the store to make sure it is the same pill everytime. A couple of years ago I picked up a different drug as a refill and when I got home I noticed it was in the form of a time release capsule this time. I took the pill at the same time every morning and every evening I became so dizzy I...

    I can not tolerate either flax seed or flaxseed oil...the seed give me gas and bloating and the oil upsets my stomach and makes me nauseous. So chia works better for me. I currently use Gaia brand chia fresh which is already ground and in small flake form and you just can add it to water or juice or spinkle it on salads or your food.
