    Eeek! No diet pills. They're just not safe. Have you tracked your intake and expenditure (calorie wise) using something like Open Original Shared Link to find out if you're calorie intake is low enough to encourage weight loss but high enough to make sure you get the nutrition you need? Are your thyroid meds adjusted as well as they can be? Have...

    Eh... "the best" is going to be relative. Personally, I like the flavor that bean flours add to most gluten-free recipes, but I know a lot of people who don't. I also love the taste that millet flour adds to muffins, but my husband finds it quite bitter... Good luck with the recipes you try! Hang on to the ones you like, 'cause they're far and few between...

    Gluten free means there is no wheat, barley, rye, or oats*. Wheat free means there is no wheat. So, wheat free may still have barley, rye, or oats - which are sources of gluten. But gluten free cannot have wheat. (*this depends on the manufacturer - you still have to read the ingredient list.) As for the soup mix... It happens. You're...

    My favorite recipe for quinoa is to make with the regular quinoa and water ratio directions, but add boullion, and mexican spices (I use the ones from Spice Hunter, but you could just use chili powder, cumin, sage, cayenne, oregano, and pepper). With a good boullion, it's fab!

    brown rice can be used as a base for stirfry (meat or veggies or both), in soups, in casseroles, as risotto (short grain brown rice, for this one), pilafs, etc. millet, teff, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, corn can also be used in a variety of ways, with the generally rule that the smaller the grain, the "creamier" a consistency you'll end up with, though...

    Make your own! Beef, carrots, onions, potatoes, a touch of canola oil, sage, cumin, salt, pepper, a little sweet rice flour (or corn starch), broth (or boullion and water, and optionally a touch of red wine) and half an hour. (The only trick is to brown the beef in the oil a bit first.) Quite tasty, and you can make a big batch for leftovers. WAY better...

    You can support something but not always go by those rules. You may support, for instance, condom use to prevent AIDS, but not always use one in your marriage because you are monogomous. You may support, for instance, healthy diets, but offer less healthy treats in your product line. And you can support celiac disease foundations, be produced in shared...

    Sometimes it's just canola and crushed red pepper. Sometimes it's that and gluten-free tamari. Sometimes I use ginger as well. Sometimes garlic instead. Sometimes jalapeno or habanero in addition or instead. Sometimes Thai Kitchen's red chili paste. Sometimes chili sauce. Sometimes a bit of lemon juice. It varies.

    Roast the chicken, covered, of course, without overcooking it, and the dark meat will be delicious! Grilling chicken legs is fabulous too - the key is to just not overcook them. You can also use dark meat in soups and stews. Don't forget to consider getting ground pork and/or sausage as well, for higher fat options.

    Welcome! If you were staying any longer, I'd say that we should do something on the 27th! Unless you've got the 22nd open... Anyway...

    Molly, Kudos for following through, going back to the doc, and getting them back on the diet! You're doing the right thing, and we're all here to help.

    Unless you know your sister's roommate to be extraordinarily busy, reconsider asking her. I know, as someone who loves to cook, I would be honored to be asked to help out in such a situation.

    they do now make a pam with flour, however, for baking, that IS a problem for celiacs. regular pam is gluten free.

    The vast majority of kitchens represented on this board would then not be able to compliant with providing a product safe for a celiac diet, by those standards - because most people on here have *some* item of gluten allowed for the non-celiacs in the household, even if it's nothing more than a granola bar. There are standard practices for maintaining...

    they rise too fast (too big of air bubbles that can't be supported by the bread when the gas escapes, especially in weaker gluten-free bread); remedied by having it rise in a cooler area (yeast bread specific) if it's during baking, the temperature was too low, so the bread couldn't set before the gas all escaped it may have had too much liquid, and...

    vegans don't eat honey because it comes from a living creature - bees. no jello either, as the majority of gelatin comes from beef. (strict vegetarians also avoid gelatin.)

    Except for the 10% of celiacs or so who react even to those uncontaminated oats. There is no specific test (other than trying them and hoping you display symptoms) to determine if a particular person with celiac is one of those 10% will develop villi atrophy from oats.

    This has actually been known about for quite a while, if you look at the studies done on genetic typing, but the doctors sure like to read 98%'s as 100%'s....

    (I should have added: just because I know what *needs* to happen, doesn't mean I always do it either. it gets tough to keep that momentum all the time , but it is easier once you get started, or if you do it with someone else.)

    there was a study recently, in the past month or two, I think, about how *presenteeism* (coming to work sick) is actually MORE of a problem for the vast majority of work places (costs more) than absenteism, and more and more employers are starting to complain about it. looks like your management should read the news. (and invest in telecommuting if at...

    Here's the thing... all the IgA's were negative, and IgG's were positive, but you don't have a total IgA test for either to tell you whether or not the standard reference ranges are valid for either girl! So those 'negative' IgA results may not *in actuality* be negatives. They need a total IgA test in order to properly read those results.

    It's quote common to put on weight after going gluten-free. Getting it off is tough, but the basic idea is simple - take in fewer calories than you burn. Putting that into practice can get challenging. You take in fewer calories by reducing food intake, obviously - and one thing that I think is particularly helpful with that is making sure to have...

    The next step is to try the diet. You know the tests are unreliable in one so young, so a negative is just a "ok, it *could* be something else, but it could still be this" sort of indicator. Not to mention that the tests aren't even always positive in adults that have it. Give the diet a try. (I, for some reason, think you've done this a bit and noticed...

    I think that if you're looking primarily at forums, you've got a highly skewed sample that is demonstratably not representative of the celiac population in a number of ways, and IQ is likely only one of them.
