I've never made gumbo but I dip my chicken in corn flour (not cornmeal or corn starch) and it makes a lovely crust. It has some thickening power, but I use either corn starch or sweet (glutinous)rice flour to thicken my sauces and gravies. Just mix with a little water and whisk in a few minutes before serving for it to thicken up. Start with about half...

ARCHIVED Healthy, gluten-free, Homemade Quinoa Energy Bars
pattyanne replied to penguin's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thank-you!!! These sound awesome and since I just started back on WW it is great that you calculated the points too. I bought some quinoa flakes, but I didn't like it as porridge. I was going to do some experimenting but now I don't have to. -
ARCHIVED Skin Itching As A Symptom?
pattyanne replied to pattyanne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the confirmation. I don't have an actual diagnosis. My blood tests were negative, but I had already been eating gluten free at the time. My brother is celiac and I was diagnosed with IBS at 8 (I'm 45). My doctor's advise was "if it makes you sick, don't eat it" which I had already decided. I still sometimes wonder if I'm not just a hypochondriac... -
ARCHIVED Skin Itching As A Symptom?
pattyanne posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have been gluten free for almost 10 months. I have had a few accidents and mainly notice bloating, C, and brain fog. I have always had sensitive skin, itchy with little or no eczema type rash, just something that is more a bother than anything. I know that I was glutened two nights ago and noticed that the next day I itched from head to toe - no rash... -
ARCHIVED Mini Gluten Challenge
pattyanne replied to Nantzie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Although I'm apparently not celiac (per my bloodtests) my experience in eating gluten-free is very positive so I will continue with it. My Dr said "if it makes you sick don't eat it!". My DH is very supportive. I noticed that my PMS is almost entirely gone. I was a raving maniac some months. I mentioned that I felt more even tempered and less bloated... -
ARCHIVED Need Help From Those In Canada
pattyanne replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I eat alot of rice crackers and the Rice Thins are by far my favorite - particularily the whole grain ones (don't worry they are gluten free) I find these thinner and crisper than most types. -
I recently ate at Tony Roma's for the first time since going gluten-free. I had riblings, baked potato and veggies and felt totally fine after too. I loooove riblings!

Yes! This is the symptom that I feel is the most "off" with me. I have always had digestive problems (diagnosed with IBS at 8) as well as gall-bladder out at 23, high cholestral, osteopenia etc. I have only recently connected all my symptoms to self diagnose celiac disease. I had blood tests but haven't been back to discuss with my Dr. (pretty sure they...

ARCHIVED Cardamon As A "cure" For Cd?
pattyanne replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I love cardamom (as did my mom, she used it in alot of baking). I use it as I would cinnamon or ginger (ie sweet spices) I love it in custards and rice pudding. I drink ginger tea, I wonder what a sprinkle of ground cardamom would add. mmmmm think I'll have to try it.
