    When I last did it with Pamela's cookies, I used it with a pie I baked. It didn't burn or anything. Same thing when I use crumbs from pumpkin bread for a pumpkin pie crust - add enough liquid for holding it together and it won't burn.

    They have a honey-nut (but there are no nuts in it at all) that's sweet. They also have an apple cinnamon, but I'm not a huge fan of that one. I do like the seaweed tamari one. :-) They have a lot of other quite tasty flavors. (The unsalted plain are a bit boring, but the rest aren't bad.)

    Turkey - roasting it in the oven's pretty easy (I use a probe thermometer, so I won't try to quote you times), and I keep it wrapped in foil, so it stays very juicy (doesn't brown, but my mouth can't see the colors!) Here's what's on my Thanksgiving Menu (all homemade, of course, and Gluten-free Casein-free) * Starters - Orange Soup (Butternut Squash...

    McCanns says that they don't grow other crops, but they can get contamination from the transportation and millling facilities. Besides that, as has been noted, the main protein that makes oats what they are, avenin, causes a reaction in a small number of celiacs.

    yogurt is not fermented, it's cultured. fermentation does not change the protein enough to render it harmless; yogurt is filled with casein. (I absolutely react, and any allergy doctor who's treating someone for a true casein allergy would absolutely make them avoid yogurt.)

    avocados! beans - chili is easy to make, and if you make a large pot full, you can have leftovers for the week (add as much meat as necessary to balance out carbs/protein/fat) nuts - as "butter" on celery, or plain, or in something like "raw ranch dressing" with veggies

    I love sweet potatoes, but I HATE all varieties of "candied yams". (Ugh! I thought sweet potatoes were nasty 'til someone took off the marshmallows! ;-) ) Here are some things I do with sweet potatoes: * slice into fries, shake in a bag with olive oil, rosemary, and salt, then bake in the oven at 300F for 50 minutes or so (or use chili seasonings, or...

    Definitely make it from scratch - so much better! 1 lb cranberries, 1/2 to 1 1/2 cup sugar (depending on your tastes), and liquid. I've used orange juice, water, and pomegranate juice. This year, apple juice and some diced, peeled apples. It simmers for about an hour (the berries all pop and it thickens), but it's so much better than canned!

    What do you need the additional testing for? You KNOW that these foods give you a problem - you've run that test on yourself many times. Regardless of what the doctors say, I would encourage you to listen to the things your body is telling you.
  10. tarnalberry
    But you said you experienced symptoms right after eating gluten - that's not "there's nothing wrong with me". Please listen to your body! I understand you're finishing your food log for the doctor, but when that's done, there's no reason to keep making yourself sick!

    Oats are... not in. If you could find uncontaminated oats (which is next to impossible - one manufacturer may be doing it in the near future, and even McCann's says they have contamination potential in the milling and transporting), then even still 10-20% of celiacs (not necessarily the most sensitve, just a subset) would still get intestinal damage from...

    This is one of the reasons that it's nice to get to know the butcher at the grocery store you frequent, or if they don't have an active butcher, find a grocery store that does. They get to know what your preferences are, you get to know their habits (and the other butchers), and you get what you want and know what you want. As for ground beef... I prefer...

    I've never had a problem with lumpy gravy, it's just that I may not know how much juice I got out of the turkey, or how thick I'm really wanting the gravy to be that night, so I add the cornstarch slowly, rather than use a pre-determined ratio. That's the reason for adding slowly - to see how thick it's getting and stop before you add too much cornstarch...

    On a casein free diet, no products derived from milk are allowed. Because the sugar content has been consumed by bacteria, yogurt has a HIGHER concentration of casein than liquid milk. You might consider soy yogurt.
  15. tarnalberry
    Yep, oil will work for most non-baking recipes, and for some of those as well. In a pot like that, it'll be just fine. And, as jnkymnky suggests, go craxy with the flavored oils! :-) In stews/soups/etc, it's a great addition.
  16. tarnalberry
    What's done is done. It's just time to pick up where you left off and go back to being gluten-free. Use this experience to determine how you might have been able to eat gluten free at the restaurant, so you can next time. (For instance, when a bunch of coworkers were leaving, and we had 20-person tables at Claim Jumper, I just asked for a plain baked potato...
  17. tarnalberry
    Yep, you could even make the slurry with cold broth, if you don't want to dilute it at all.
  18. tarnalberry
    Good catch - the slurry is cold water and cornstarch - basically, it gives you a place to disperse the cornstarch (or sweet rice flour or whatever else you use) before the starch molecules start absorbing water and thickening. I usually have a drinking glass half full of water, and stir in about four or five tablespoons of cornstartch until that's smooth...

    use pubmed (www.pubmed.com) and you'll have access to abstracts and some full text articles from all the common peer-revied medical journals. it'll take plenty of searching, but there's plenty in there. google will also find you some good sites, though it'll take a bit of sifting. (I'm afraid I don't have the good sites I've already found bookmarked.)
  20. tarnalberry
    It probably depends on the butcher - so ask the one you shop with. I would imagine that they're not going to put organ meat in there without labeling it, but I could be wrong on that. Do read the package labels, however, as I have found ground beef in the butchers section that was labeled something like "best ground beef" or some other modifier on the ground...

    the proportions of the casein molecule subtypes are vastly different in goats milk and cows milk. if you have a minor casein intolerance to cows milk, you may do just fine with goats milk, since the primary subtypes of casein are reversed in the two.

    Pure vinegars that don't have anything added to them are gluten free, even if derived from wheat, because of the distillation process. Heinz white vinegar is derived from corn anyway, and rice vinegar is derived from rice. Champagne vinegar, wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar are all derived from grapes (but check labeling for added ingredients).
  23. tarnalberry
    What are you using it for? You might be able to make yogurt out of rice or almond milk that could serve it's place in some uses.
  24. tarnalberry
    intolerance to table sugar is ... rare. at best. mostly because table sugar is such a simple sugar (it's a disaccharide of glucose and fructose). it's not impossible, however, to not produce enough sucrase to break the bond between the two monosaccharides, however. I would expect it's more likely, though, that a yeast or other bacterial overgrowth in...

    No turkey! Not if it has bread based stuffing in it or any spices that aren't gluten free on it, or any other ingredients that aren't gluten free on/in it. If you can ask her to cook the stuffing separately (which is safer, from a food-bourne illness perspective, anyway), and to make sure nothing that goes on the turkey has gluten, then Ella could have...
