    Soy flour is gluten-free, but the reason Bob's Red Mill doesn't put the label on their package (though I thought it was on my package) is because they don't test every batch. I've never had a problem with it, but there is a risk of cross contamination.

    botanically, I don't think it's a grain - it might be a grass? any botonists around here? :-) so there shouldn't be a problem

    yeah, rooibos is good stuff. (and it means that my tea shelf can have herbal, black, white, green, and red tea! now i just need blue tea. :-P) republic of tea has a similar flavor, and yogi tea makes a red chai that's good too.

    I do rice stuffing, with a rice blend from Lundberg Farms with italian seasonings, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and celery.

    I know there are a number of potato vodkas - it'd depend on what you've got in stores near you. I like Ciroq, which is made from grapes, but pricey.

    as for the gluten in the beer and kissing - a liquid's not going to stick to his teeth nearly as much as bread or some other solid type of food, so I'd be more worried about the food than the drinks. of course, if he wipes his lips off, normal (pardon the description, but I'm shameless and can't think of a "genteel" way to phrase it ) closed mouth kissing...

    I haven't had that, but the next time one pops up, the derm could always biopsy it. That's how DH is dx'ed.

    I found rolling out corn tortillas to be pretty easy (between sheets of plastic wrap), but I haven't tried "flour" tortillas yet.

    yep, some people have problems with bananas, and I believe I've heard of it with apples as well, but both of them are very rare. the apples could have too much fructose for you, hence leaving your stomach unsettled. that's one of the reasons for next to no fruit on an elimination diet. cutting out the sugar is important as well, to minimize any possible...

    Assuming you don't have a problem with soy or dairy, then - in theory - both whey and soy protein powders should be fine. As always, read the label, and if you're uncertain, do call the company and verify that any flavors or other uncertain ingredients are gluten free. I've come across a few protein powders that use oats in them, but they tend not to be...

    Well, for dates, you don't need to say much beyond "I can't eat gluten - so stuff made with wheat, barley, rye or oats. It's a medical thing." That not only tells him the truth, but also gets across the idea that you're not going to discuss the intimate details of celiac disease at this point. You can still go to restaurants, but you have to plan ahead...

    I've always been a fan of tomato based meat sauces, myself. :-) You can make them a bunch of ways, but (unless tomatoes are on sale and looking really good) I often use canned tomatoes to start. This is a fairly quick recipe I often use: Quick Meaty Pasta Sauce Serves 3-4 (Main Dish, on pasta) Ingredients ----------- 1/2 lb turkey meat (thawed...

    soy is definitely not a gluten. soy isn't even a grain (and the gluten we react to is the gluten found in four (if you include oats) grains. (soy is a legume.) he could have an entirely different intollerance or allergy to soy, however. it may be possible to find a brand of soy milk that uses barley as a filter (like Rice Dream), which could also be a...

    Easy things to make that I snack on or take for lunch (or for a scrounged up dinner...) (a lot of these aren't just carbs since I tend to be hypoglycemic) rice cakes with peanut butter apple with peanut butter bean salads hard boiled eggs veggies with hummus or corn chips with guacamole canned tuna with avocado smoothies (soy milk and frozen fruit...

    As I recall, that magazine accepts the CODEX standard, and as the low-gluten hosts meet the CODEX standard, they are going to be willing to accept that as a solution.
  16. tarnalberry
    The interesting thing is that the solution - as empirically determined by people on the board - very rarely does have gluten. You do always want to check, but most poultry that does not contain spices or flavors but does have "broth or solution" does not have gluten. Whether or not you want to deal with the added "broth or solution" is a different question...

    but the whole point is, like I tried to point out with the corn - there will ALWAYS be someone who says, if the item is made out of a natural product, that they will react to it. like the person who reacts to dixie cups, or us worrying about these containers. I am not discounting that this is a worry, and I would want them to label the containers so we...

    for lab tests - sensitivity means how often the tests report a postive for someone who really does have the condition. specfic means how many other things a positive test could mean. for instance, a simple iron test is (as I recall) pretty darn sensitive, but not specific for celiac since a lot of things can lead to anemia.
  19. tarnalberry
    I also only had a positive anti-reticulin score, so my doc suggested sticking with the diet for a while and then trying a gluten challenge, which gave very positive results. It is not very sensitive (lots of people will not test positive to this test even if they are gluten intolerant), but is very specific, in theory.
  20. tarnalberry
    What about the people with a severe corn allergy?
  21. tarnalberry
    Scientifically, the protein found in grains is called gluten. So ANY protein in ANY grain is generically referred to as gluten. With respect to celiac disease, however, we often use the word gluten to refer only to the protein in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. It's a matter of context.

    I mentioned in my non-perishable travelling food post that I had picked up some Tillamook jerky and confirmed it was gluten-free. The smoked/dried Beef Nuggets definitely were tasty and, while salty, didn't _feel_ as salty or dry as regular beef jerky. I'm glad I took them on the trip - they were filling and very convenient. I wrote an email to the company...

    One note is that even those studies where they grew pure oats had participants that dropped out due to serious GI symptoms. Avenin (the oat protein) is different, but still similar to gliandin (the wheat protein), so it is possible that the immune system reacts broadly enough to react to oats, which _may_ (I'm not saying does, this is a conclusion I've drawn...

    I put a recipe on the "enchilada sauce" entry in gluten-free Foods, Products, etc... It's easy to make.
  25. tarnalberry
    that nylon thing is a _great_ idea! :-)
