    I use Wild Planet brand tuna because it doesn't have soy in it like more regular brands and it is the most reasonably priced of the tunas that are only albacore tuna. So it is firm and not mushy like those with soy in them. And the can states it is low mercury. And I use Earth Balance MindfulMayo which is egg, dairy, soy and preservative free. Actually...

    Strongwilled woman...I will only use a potato vodka.as that is the only one I can feel safe about. The brand I have here is Vesica and on the bottle it says triple distilled potato vodka. It is from Poland and I found the price to be very reasonable. I know some potato vodkas can be quite expensive. When I first bought it at a liquor store I asked for potato...

    After I was finally diagnosed and found out I couldn't have wheat, soy, corn, oats or lactose I wondered what the heck I was supposed to eat. So I remember how it can be a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what you can eat. You will have to read labels on everything you purchase and even every time you purchase because they change things. I just...

    Thank you for the tips. Yes, I will be adding butter and sugar. I found a recipe I will attempt to use and then in which you shape the dough into a 1 inch high disc and wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. The flour blend is 1 and 1/2 sorghum flour, 1 and 1/2 cup potato starch and 1 cup tapica flour. I will be using the guar gum instead of...

    I recently found some new products in my natural health store here in NY state. The company name is Organic traditions and the products I purchased are marked glutenfree. The packages list a website at www.organictraditions.com I was going to look online to see if I could purchase them cheaper but haven't gotten around to it yet, or even checked out the...

    Does anyone know if Dove silkly smooth dark chocolate candy bars are safe for me to eat? I am concerned about it being contaminated by being made on lines which also handle barley. I am interested in trying this candy because the label says it contains sugar unlike the other chocolate I see that have some type of corn sugar or corn syrup in them because...

    I haven't yet attempted making cookies but I want to start. I have to make my own dough as I can't have any mixes I saw that don't have xantham gum in them. I use guar gum. And I can't have corn or soy in addition to wheat. I am looking for a dough that I can shape into a small ball and then press with a cookie stamp and make a design on the top. Is this...

    Thanks Takala for the recipe as I am interested in trying it. I have never had an avocado but since I now have food restrictions of wheat corn soy, and have severe lactose intolerance I have become adventurous in trying new things. I had to call my daughter who lives cross country to ask her how to even tell when a avocado is ripe as I have heard her mentioning...

    Oh darn. Well maybe it will be become available someday where you are. I am thinking perhaps it is fairly new yet and just not that available. I only noticed it a couple of months ago and before that I just did without having any mayo at all. If you do try making it and are not sensitive to corn you could use honey instead of the agave nectar and...

    By the way, these products are always kept here in the refrigerated section of the store unlike the regular mayo which is kept on the shelf. I sure wish you good luck in finding it...to me it beats trying to make my own. I do have a recipe for mayo which supposedly makes 1/2 cup but I haven't tried it yet because I found the above products. I will put...

    It is the only mayo I ever tried and really liked. I have tried other mayos with canola oil and they tasted so bad to me I threw them out. If I didn't have Earth Balance Mindful Mayo I would have to make my own. I keep stocked up on it in the fridge. If you get it make sure it is the one marked Original. But my goodness!! for the price you have listed...

    Can you tell me the name of the basic bloodwork test to determine if someone might have celiac disease. Is it called a Celiac Panel? I am concerned my younger brother may have celiac disease and so I want to tell him the name of the bloodtest to ask the doctor to do. He is not really having too many problems at this time but I do not want him to eventually...

    My digestive disease doctor didn't know about any connection between oatmeal and wheat either. Until you can get some glutenfree oats there are substitutes for hot cereal...for a similar consistency to oatmeal you might try Kasha which is roasted Buckwheat Groats or else Cream of Buckwheat (don't be intimidated by the name since buckwheat is actually a fruit...

    IrishHeart...Beth Hillson is the author of one of my cookbooks (gluten-free makeovers) that says you may need to add an additional 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon per cup glutenfree flour when using guar gum instead of xanthan gum. Of all my cookbooks this is by far my favorite...I absolutely love Beth Hillson because she has recipes in there for some of my favorite...

    I use guar gum exclusively now (I had to switch to it because found out I couldn't have xanthan gum). The substitution amount is the same. However some including myself find that they need to add an additional 1/2 teaspoon per cup of glutenfree flour when using guar gum instead of xanthan gum. It depends on what you are making though. The amount of guar...

    When I was researching Rice Dream rice milk which also uses a barley enzyme which they say they extract I found several reports about barley testing being unreliable and grossly underestimating the actual level of the barley protein remaining. To me the extraction process of barley is a moot point when there is no reliable way to test for its presence anyway...

    Mae...Welcome to the forum. Rice Dream got me too...and for almost 2 years. All the containers I ever purchased had a red and yellow triangle label on the front of them saying gluten free. And on the containers there was never ever mention of their using a barley enzyme. When I came to this forum I saw a post in which it was mentioned that Rice Dream...

    I agree that blends are needed for glutenfree cooking. The only simple thing I do to replace wheat flour is to use potato starch to replace wheat flour when making gravy from the drippings of chicken or turkey. I like sorghum flour added to my blend for making bread because to me it makes it taste better and gives it a better texture. But I learned...

    You have just been told you have Celiacs and it is perfectly normal and natural to feel overwhelmed and anxious. You are under a doctors care and you have bloodwork results coming back. Understandable too that you were so surprised (overwhelmed) that you didn't get to ask questions of the doctor. For now try to just keep calm and carry on. And there are...

    Can you eat quinoa? It is supposedly rich in protein, calcium, iron, fiber, and potassium, and a good source of B vitamins and vitamin E. And provides a balance of all 8 essential amino acids. For starters you could try quinoa flakes as a hot cereal. It is easily digestible. And is quick and easy to make in the microwave or in a pot on the stove. I put...

    I am glad you have come upon a workable coconut bread recipe for yourself. It is such a challenge when you have a lot of dietary restrictions. My body is also trying to kill me. I refer to my condition as the disease of a thousand tortures. Kelleybean...my grapeseed oil says to use within 10 to 12 weeks of opening, or refrigerate. I do keep most of...

    I once copied down a coconut bread recipe from a coconut site I visited. However, I have never gotten around yet to trying it. But I will put it below in case it may be of some help. 3/4 cup sifted coconut flour 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil 6 eggs 2 tablespoons agave or honey 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder. Blend together eggs...

    I had this frightening dizziness, and shortness of breath at times. The dizziness happened also when I would be sitting or lying down. Sometimes when I would go to get up from sitting or lying down I would feel like I was passing out and so I quickly sat back down for awhile. Most scary to me was when I would be lying down and feel like I was going to fall...

    I can't have wheat, corn, oats and soy and make my own basic blend mixing in 2 and 3/4 cup rice flour, 1 and 1/4 cup potato starch, and 1/3 cup tapioca starch. I mix it together in a large clear plastic bag and put it into a large glass container for when I need it. I also use the King Arthur gluten-free Multipurpose Flour without problems but I won...

    Orgran has a line of what they call Crispibreads which are glutenfree. They are really crispy though, more like a long cracker. They are made in Australia and I get them at my local health food store here in NY. I mostly eat the Orgran Buckwheat Crispibread and I will put almond butter or tuna on it. I don't remember the other types of them but I think rice...
