ARCHIVED Best G.f. Pie Crust I've Made In 6 Years...i Switched To Lard!
TashaLouise replied to Ginsou's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
HI, Have you possibly got a recipe and ingredients for a pie crust? I have tried making a crust before but for some reason gluten-free flour just doesn't like it. I'm wondering if it is something else in the recipe that mixes with the flour or something? Anyhow, ingredient suggestions? Thanks so much! T.xx -
ARCHIVED Favorite All Purpose Gluten Free Flour?

I only really like Doves Farm but that is only because it is the only one available to me I do really like it though! -
ARCHIVED Folic Acid Level Low
TashaLouise replied to w8in4dave's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
HI!! I had the same thing a few weeks back. I had some blood tests for something else but the Folic Acid levels came back as lower than they should be. I always eat food that is high in Folic acid (I practically OD on avocados!) but the levels were low for whatever reason. The doc didnt read anything into it, instead just gave me a months supply of supps... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Special K Cereal
TashaLouise replied to kareng's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
YAYAYAY! Thank you!! I just hope the UK sell this/ Preferably in Tesco or Sainsburys as they are pretty much the only stores actually near us that have a gluten free section. I almost never go down the cereal isle as I always go to the free from section but if these are in the main cereal isle thatd be great. Do you know if these are sold in the UK? -

ARCHIVED Experience With Homemade Gluten Free Pastry
TashaLouise posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi Everyone! I have never met anyone who has had the lucky experience of being able to make homemade pastry with gluten free flour. I have tried it on numerous occasions and it has never worked out. It always crumbles and breaks apart. It never goes anywhere near squidgy which is what it should be like. Has anyone else had any luck and if so, how did... -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'm not going to cut out sweets that have gelatine or anything in. I'm only cutting out the things that have actual meat in- whole meat: (chicken/pork/beef etc). Will also cut out completely things like pate that is made from pigs liver and things like that but little bits I will still eat. I don't eat junk food. I like vegetables... -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thank you for letting me know. I had no idea about this. I don't eat that much dairy so will have to eat eggs more than I do now. (Which, to be fair, is quite a lot already). I haven't actually heard of the TBP (I don't do/ know that much stuff about the body- believe it or not!) so will do a bit of research. Thank you so much! -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thank you. The Quorn chicken and quorn mince in Tesco (are you in UK?) is gluten free. Not sure about the other stuff but would imagine the plain quorn meat alternatives are mostly gluten free. Thanks -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
You mean you wouldn't consider going vegetarian safe for a coeliac? Why only in the US? -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Not all of them. The plain chicken, mince etc is gluten free. There are pies and things which aren't but as the quorum is in the frozen section, there is a free from section right next to it and some of spit actually overlaps. I.e. There are gluten free quorn products. -
I've decided to go vegetarian and was wondering if anybody else had done this after they have found out they are Coeliac? I'm planning on eating Quorn or just no meat at all if needs be but as there is a massive stock of Quorn supplies in Tesco (Quorn Chicken, fillets, mince, pies, steaks, etc) it won't be a problem. Anyway, what have peoples experiences...

ARCHIVED What Happens And How Do You Deal With Being Glutened?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been blood tested a few times but it has all come back negative. However, the doctors have said that the blood test is not always conclusive. I had one that showed something was different but the doctors where so useless that they didn't follow it up at all, no matter how much I asked. Yeah, I am in England, UK. I am always careful when buying food... -
ARCHIVED What Happens And How Do You Deal With Being Glutened?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had an endoscopy and it was negative. I tried introducing gluten 6 weeks prior to the procedure but I ended up in Hospital for 3 nights due to sever pain and actual passing out from the pain. I then tried again 3 weeks later but the same thing happened. It is simply too painful to introduce for a test that they should have done when I was still eating gluten... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Crisps And Sweets Etc
TashaLouise posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Everyone, I just really want to create this topic in the hope of slowly building up and creating a list of foods that are gluten free. So far I have got Pom Bears. As far as I am aware all the flavours are gluten free. If you could put the name of the country that you are in or that you know they sell them that will help tremendously. -
Thank you. Will keep this is mind.

ARCHIVED What Happens And How Do You Deal With Being Glutened?
TashaLouise replied to TashaLouise's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, thanks for replying. I have no idea what sets it off. Maybe my dad eats something that is gluteney and doesn't clean it. After all it is my mum that has to deal with it. I always have stomach ache. All day everyday. People don't believe that that is possible but I Promise you it is the truth. I don't actively eat things that are gluteney. I am extra... -
Hi everyone, Just wondering, I used to drink a tonne of normal (full fat or semi skimmed cows milk when I was younger (I'm 18 now so I'm talking up to the age of around 121/12). I used to drink a few pints of milk a day. Anyway, my stomach aches got to the points where they were so bad that I have had to give uP a lot of food. I can no longer drunk cows...

ARCHIVED What Happens And How Do You Deal With Being Glutened?
TashaLouise posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi everyone. First of all, disclaimer. I am assuming that all other coeliacs have had very bad experiences and will excuse me for my outward talking. I am slightly autistic meaning that I don't always have restraints on the amount of detail that is appropriate. For this, I can only say read on if you are a true coeliac and are not overly squeamish to...
