    The griddle should be _just_ hot enough that a few drops of water on it skitter around for a bit - neither simmering in one place, or going up in a puff of steam. It's an easy test, and what the griddle should be kept at for the pancake cooking. (They may remain gooey if they're too dense, because they won't cook through. You may want to thin them out...

    Open Original Shared Link makes a cheese that apparently melts fairly well. I don't like the taste of it raw, and it doesn't stay good all that long, but it's something. I use Tofutti's sour cream with no problem. They put out that warning because they test for casein, but not gluten. Open Original Shared Link makes some very good Gluten-free Casein...

    Fresh fruit/veggies that can stand a few hours not being in the fridge. Rice cakes/baked goods/dried fruit for some carbs. Food bar (like a Larabar) or nuts for fat/protein.

    ARCHIVED "celiac Isn't Hereditary"

    tarnalberry replied to Emme999's topic in Doctors

    You could try printing out the journal abstracts from pubmed identifying the genes that cause celiac disease and going back to the doctor...

    I like the amaranth pancake recipe on the back of Bob's Red Mill's amaranth flour. (You can also find it online at their site.)

    rice cakes with peanut butter fruit smoothies quinoa flakes or millet grits with soy milk, cinnamon, and honey very occasionally cereal like Cranberry Sunrise or Rice Crunch 'Ems (those are my main breakfasts, on the weekends sometimes I'll make other things)

    I don't have DH, but did discover, during an elimination diet, that I was sensitive to casein, so I haven't had any for about a year. As for getting enough calcium/vitamin D... I presume you bring this up for bone health. There are a number of issues at work here: 1) various studies have demonstrated that we may not need the 1200mg/day of calcium the...

    lol! you guys are sweet. but most of it's easy cooking that you can do at home too! :-) (though, I've thought about doing a celiac retreat/cooking class type thing... that could be a lot of fun) I'll try to post a few more recipes, but most of the stuff I pretty much make up as I go... (I'll be out of town this weekend, so it'll have to be next week...

    Pubmed's just a resource listing ... pretty much all peer-reviewed published papers in the scientific journals. You do a search on your terms (be it "celiac" or "gluten intolerant" and you read through the research - or at least abstracts thereof.
  10. tarnalberry
    Pubmed's got all the statistics you need! :-) As a chemist, then, you'll have a greater appreciation for the fact that it doesn't require a signficant quantity of a substance to start a chain reaction - which is what happens in the body. (My background is physics, with a few classes in physical chemistry, but the year I took organic was the year I broke...

    definitely a vicious cycle! but absolutely - combining a starch with fat and/or protein will lower the glycemic load of the meal, and help keep from having those things happen. for potatoes, I usually have them in a soup or stew, or have a bit of olive oil with them. also, different potatoes have different glycemic loads, regular russets being the highest...

    See, maybe that's part of the problem - since you don't know about the variety of options you have, it seems like an onerous task. I haven't had an "almond rice PB&J" in months, and then it was only when I wanted one! :-) I'm definitely not sick of my food because I create as much variety as I want. (Though, being dairy free as wel is harder than just...

    Cutting out gluten and casein cuts out only two types of foods; there are a lot more than that around in your grocery store. :-) (It only seems like they're so important because that's what we get fed so often; we have other choices.) Meats of all kinds are a good source of protein. Eggs are a good source of protein and fat. Nuts and seeds are a good...
  14. tarnalberry
    Not too late. Grilled marinated vegetables are fabulous (I do a mean balsamic vinagrette marinade) and grilled falafels... tasty! But I'm an omnivore, so I admit to enjoying a nice steak every so often ;-)

    You assume that people who are purposefully cheating do so in the same context as that of your life, and that's often not the case. Seriously, if you felt no different if you ate wheat or didn't, it will never appear to be as real a threat, certainly not at first. People need a place to learn - a non-judgemental place to learn - and this can be a good...

    I was referring to Wandering Hermit's original post.

    It entirely depends on what nutritionist you find and how much knowledge you already have about gluten, food ingredients, and cooking in general. There's another active thread on the topic that you might want to check out for reference.
  18. tarnalberry
    The fact that a number of people cheat is something that, as a community, we have to deal with. If we want additional respect for the conditon, we need to start with all the people who have the condition but not the respect for it themselves. For people who do NOT feel unhealthy if they eat gluten, it's in no way obvious that they need to avoid gluten...

    are you using any xantham gum? you may want to move away from the rice flours in this one, perhaps adding some soy, or another flour with more protein to help hold it together better. teff actually works pretty well, though on it's own the flavor is rather strong.
  20. tarnalberry
    There are a number of sites that specifically support vegetarian celiacs. You can still do it if you want to. (In fact, most gluten-free flours/grains have more fat and protein than wheat anyway. And a better protein profile.)
  21. tarnalberry
    I'd add that the "well, why should you really bother being that careful" attitude - albeit an understandable one if you don't get severe symptoms - turns out to essentially be poking an open wound around here. A newbie wouldn't know that, and wouldn't - in most cases - have read any of the stories or had any of the experiences to understand it, and I don...

    (BTW, I tried replying to your message, but it bounced.... I'm not ignoring it. :-) )
  23. tarnalberry
    Maso, the only grains that celiacs need to avoid, due to celiac disease, is wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Soy, among other alternatives, is fine.
  24. tarnalberry
    I suggested dairy sensitivity because - if the sensitivity is to the protein - yogurt is no better than any other dairy. Yogurt may have less lactose (the sugar), but some people are sensitive to the protein.

    Other foods can - innocently - cause bloating as well, particularly the gassier vegetables and beans. It may just take your body some time to adjust, or you may need to investigate pinning down what foods are causing this problem.
