    I like Open Original Shared Link. I've also heard good things about Open Original Shared Link. I think some of the members on this board contributed to that book, as well!

    ARCHIVED Awareness

    tarnalberry replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Publications & Publicity

    Go Jen! ;-) Telling them all will just spread the word faster! :-) I've thought about doing more, but there are other things that I've been more interested in increasing awareness in (like vulvodynia) and so forth. I've heard odd things on a few boards about politics in some of the groups, so I shied away from that avenue. (There's more than enough...

    I just wanted to reiterate the magnesium issue. There have been a couple of studies on the need to make sure celiacs, in particular, are getting enough magnesium (and vit D) for the body to use the calcium in building bone. Vit D shouldn't be overlooked either, particularly in light of the recent studies that the overuse of sun-screen in some populations...

    ARCHIVED Awareness

    When I share my recipes, I note that they're gluten free. I talk freely with coworkers, friends, random strangers (in real life) about what it is and what the ramifications are. That's about it - I'm a word of mouth machine. :-)

    the california rolls are made with fake crab (so, not safe) but they have a very interesting vegetable roll that's good. (and the plain shrimp nagiri is fine too, of course.) I didn't check on the miso, but I'm sure you can ask without worrying about a language problem. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the place, but it'll be obvious if you look...
  6. tarnalberry
    nope, I checked in to that one. I notice some general access issues with the site immediately after trying it, so there may have been some network funkiness (the technical term for it ;-) ) going on. I'll try again tonight when I get home (where the file is).

    but you can still have chicken noodle soup if you make it from scratch (though I find chicken rice works better for leftovers). I don't know if you've had any trouble finding a good chicken soup, but I can post my "recipe" if you like.

    I'm trying to update my avatar (again, I know... ;-) ), but it won't take the file. It's the right extension, under the size limit, and even less than an eight character name. Any ideas?

    There may be other causes of intolerance to gluten than celiac disease, but the genetic cause of celiac disease, and the variation in the immune antibodies it produces, has been well researched. There's a reason there's a genetic test for it.

    There's a sushi place in Mammoth, near the theater, that has gluten-free sushi. I ate there with no problems.

    peanut butter should be nothing but peanuts and salt. it's called 'butter' because it's ground to something that has the consistency of butter. (same thing for other nut butters like almond and soy.) I tested goat's milk and reacted to it, but the protein makeup (the specific forms of casein in it) are different enough from cow's milk that, unless you...

    Food allergy testing won't necessarily find food intolerances. (IgG intolerances aren't picked up by IgE testing.) Can you give us more information on the testing you did have? Alternatively, sometimes testing just isn't sufficient, and you have to try an elimination diet (that's how I found out about dairy). But yeah... if you told the doc that your...
  14. tarnalberry
    Have you tried identifying other food intolerances? You say you did see some improvement in some symptoms going gluten-free, so the change in diet likely made a difference, but not feeling well is a problem! You might want to see if dairy is giving you a problem (it gives me similar problems to gluten) or soy or other foods. BTW, that does NOT sound...

    congrats on the speedy diagnosis. I'm sorry lunch right afterwards was such a pain - it'll get easier with time, but eating out is never _quite_ the same.
  16. tarnalberry
    Sorry, I don't see it. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying I don't see it. Filling one round plastic container from a bag, and dumping it into a bowl doesn't seem extreme in any way to me. I maintain that cooking is a skill that anyone can learn, but I accept that some people don't want to. The thing is, in the case of pancakes, you're talking about...

    The yeast and water temperature may have been part of the problem, particularly the water temperature. The water should be warm (I believe right around 100F) but not too hot. (If the water isn't in the right range, it won't activate the yeast.) You might find it helpful to bloom the yeast before putting it in by mixing it in and letting it sit in the warm...

    Depends on what you're going to do with it. Mixers are much more multipurpose than breadmachines, but mixers won't do all the steps of making bread. Are you going to only be making bread with this, or are there other things you make that a mixer would be nice for (other baked goods, mashed potatoes, custards, oooo... anything you'd use a hand mixer on...

    If you feeling better while smoking is related to the celiac disease, then hopefully now that you're gluten-free, you won't feel worse when giving it up this time! :-) Good luck!
  20. tarnalberry
    I'm afraid that's a bad idea - and incorrect information. Spelt is closely related to wheat (same genus, different species - it's still a triticum), and it still contains the protein sequence that celiacs react to. Some people with a wheat allergy (which is different) may not react to it (the reaction involves, to my understanding, a different peptide sequence...

    starts in 15 minutes to 2 hours, lasts 5 to 7 days for me.

    Take a look at the Celiac.com list of Forbidden Ingredients. It'll list all the other names of wheat or wheat-related grains. Kamut, spelt, semolina, bulgar, einkorn, farina, graham flour, and emmer are all right out. :-) While pancakes are pretty much just as easy to cook from scratch (there's little difference in measuring out four dry ingredients...
  23. tarnalberry
    now that's an understanding husband! :-)
  24. tarnalberry
    From what I understand from reading around here and other sites, grain mills vary as widely as cars - and that includes having different purposes. While an inexpensive, small mill (really just a coffee grinder) may work for some items, it may not hold up to the more difficult to grind items, particularly without overheating. But if you're not going to grind...

    ok. thanks for letting me know. :-)
