    I've done this a couple times, and it ends up changing, but only just a bit. (Note that I'm dairy free as well as gluten free, and have hypoglycemic tendencies, so need plenty of fat/protein if I'm having carbs...) Breakfast: rice cakes with peanut butter berry-banana smoothies pumpkin smoothie (this morning's breakfast - yummy!) quinoa flakes and rice...

    I've had a couple people ask me to post the recipes I'll be using for my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. (At least, what I'll likely be using. ) I'm sorry it took more than a week to get back to those who requested this, but work's kept me swamped. The website links are to recipes which I've already posted on my own website. (There's a tasty pumpkin...

    Wild and Brown rice stuffing Ginger glazed root vegetables Mashed potatoes (or sweet potatoes) all sort of vegetable dishes Bean Soup ... what sort of thing are you looking for? lots of recipes are naturally gluten-free...

    I thought the chances of a first degree relative having it were reported in Fasano's study as being 1 in 20 - so 5%.

    At the end of the day your MIL doesn't have to understand or believe you, she merely needs to respect you. It may be that the time for explanations is over, assuming she's read the appropriate medical literature (perhaps she'd believe the NIH report?).

    Everyone makes mistakes at the beginning. In fact, you'll make mistakes, here an there, throughout the years. They're just that - mistakes. You are clearly doing the best you can, and this is something that can be tricky to adjust to. We're so used to humans being able to eat whatever food they want, but in this case, you can't. It's hard. And mistakes...

    There are two different issues, the concept of the tests being bogus and the concept of the way the labs run the test being bogus. To say that two tests both run an IgG test means they run the same test is about as far from the truth as you can get, so it's not a simple thing. I've read that article, and a few others, that have done a number of comparison...

    I also switched to FAM (charting temperature and cervical fluid) since the hormonal methods give me issues and I'm not a good candidate for the copper IUD. We use condoms for backup, but don't want to use them all the time because it can aggrivate a gynecological condition I have. We don't want kids yet either. :-)

    The difference between a wheat allergy and a gluten intolerance is the portion of the immune system reacting to the wheat protein. In the case of a wheat allergy, it's IgE molecules that bind with wheat protein and wreck havoc. In the case of a gluten intolerance, it's the IgG (and IgA) molecultes that do it. Additionally, with a wheat allergy, you can...

    or cornstarch. I grew up in a family that used cornstarch in the juices from chickens/turkeys and I didn't know for the first decade and a half of my life that anyone would use wheat flour. other family members used it once, and I don't think it tastes nearly as good. ;-)

    In theory, pure wheat starch is only starch - no proteins. The proteins should all be removed in the production process. In the US, however, the standards are not very stringent - certainly not as stringent as even for Codex wheat starch in Europe, which is still considered controversial in America. I avoid it, and I would probably argue with a company...

    I thought about doing that to make some extra money! ;-) I can't seem to find the time - even for a class in my own home! You're not in the SoCal region, are you?

    The up in veggies - particularly those two - may be part of the problem. Does the issue subside if you reduce your intake there?

    I'm grateful for this board, the fact that I discovered I was gluten intolerant after I took up cooking, that I never had very severe symptoms, and that there are so many tasty foods in the world! And I'm very grateful for the support of my family and friends who have never made a disparaging comment about the diet.
  15. tarnalberry
    Congrats on getting the hang of the cooking, and good luck with your plan!

    With the recent study showing that even McCanns is contaminated above Codex standards, I'd say that oats are indeed out. But it sounds like you're simply removing things from your diet instead of adding things. It's time to start adding. Everything (except the packaged/processed crap they want you to think you need) in the produce section is gluten free...

    When I go on travel for business, I bring things that may be hard to find gluten-free easily - like soy sauce and homemade teriyaki and bbq sauce. Since you're staying in someone's house, I presume they'll have spices and things like oil and vinegar, so other than that... maybe rice pasta if you plan to cook pasta, but anything I would usually cook with...

    You may want to take a look at some gluten-free recipes and consider trying the oven before the breadmaker. Your first attempt at substitutions highlights the problem with substitutes in baking - baking is chemistry, and you've got to keep the dynamics the same. By exchanging for soy flour, you brought the protein content up very very high, by substituting...

    Charlotte: Two suggestions: start easy - muffins and quick breads are far easier to make without messing them up than yeast breads and pastries. Also, don't expect the same taste as with wheat. You may simply not like the taste of gluten-free flours - my husband hates it - and you may have to experiement with a number of different types of gluten-free...

    I did the two separately because I found out about them a year apart. Whichever works best for you - I don't think there's a "right answer" to this one.

    Your best bet is calling the company.

    I went to the Container Store and bought a few leakproof bottles for carrying the condiments and cooking items I wanted while I was on business travel...

    Granger, Well, at least having the correct diagnosis well help. You might want to stock up on nuts and avocados and any other high-caloric density foods you find to help put some weight back on. (You might want to consider weight training - while eating plenty of calories - to add muscle as well.) Sticking with naturally gluten-free foods will help...

    I don't really think you'd want to use xanthum - it'd give you a ... non-gravy texture. Cornstarch (what we always used for years before hearing about gluten), potato starch, rice flour, and arrowroot can all work well in gravy.
  25. tarnalberry
    No. Rice Dream is NOT gluten-free. I don't know about others. Always check.
