    So sorry this happened to you. It reminds me of when I was newly gluten free and my sister bought me a bag of Bob's Red Mill Baking Mix. I tried making biscuits out of it. The smell in the house was nauseating. I tried a small taste anyway, but it was absolutely disgusting. We tried giving one to the dog and he ate it and then THREW UP! That was the last...

    I haven't made it with rice flour, but I think it would work fine. I'd use the same amount as almond flour. Let us know if it works!

    Have you tried Chex cereals? Rice, Corn, Honey Nut and Cinnamon are all gluten-free and kid friendly. The flatbread recipe above is the best bread for sandwiches that I've hdd since being gluten-free, but it's not great just plain. The Ener-G breads are yucky, but the Lite Tapioca is pretty good for things like french toast and grilled sandwiches. Do you...

    Coconut flour "sucks" up moisture like crazy because it's so high in fiber. You always use less of it in a recipe.

    I've found that a simple flat bread works the best. I make this almost every day and we use it for sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdogs and even pizza crust. (Not my favorite pizza crust, but passable if you add Romano cheese to the batter.) It's soft and flexible and has a good taste. My son and I are on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), so we use almond...

    Oh wow, I'd forgotten about this thread. My 14 year old son was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in July and we've been doing the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I don't know why I haven't modified this recipe to make bread for him. No grains, but I think I'll try all almond meal. Has anyone tried this without baking powder? He can't have that. Maybe I'll...

    It's too late for your dinner, but here is my "daily bread" recipe that would work for you. Soft Flat Bread 4 Egg Whites 2 Egg Yolks 1/2 C Almond Flour (can buy at Trader Joes)or any flour would probably work 1 tsp. Butter (or oil) 1 tsp. Honey Dash of salt Beat egg whites until they form soft peaks. Then beat egg yolks with butter and honey...

    Do a Google search for LDN and MS. It might be worth looking into!

    Do you have a Betty Crocker cookbook? I use the gingerbread cookie recipe from there and just substitute gluten-free flour. Make sure there is plenty of xanthan gum in it and it mixes up nicely. I've been doing this for 7-8 years and it works great. I got the dimensions for the house online. The trickiest part is cutting the raw cookie dough into the...

    Pecan stuffed dates. Really easy and yummy. Make a slit lengthwise in top half of date and remove pit. Put in a toasted pecan half. You can also put a dab of cream cheese in before the pecan.

    Have you tried the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? It works for a lot of people who didn't get relief from gluten free or other restricted diets. It's a bit harder, but it can be very helpful.

    If you just want bread for sandwiches or to wrap up hamburgers or hotdogs, try this. It's way easier than trying to make a loaf of gluten-free bread. I make it several times a week. You could probably use any type of flour or finely ground nuts instead of the almonds. Soft Flat Bread 4 Egg Whites 2 Egg Yolks 1/2 C Almond Flour (can buy at Trader...

    I've made it dozens of times and it holds together really well. Just don't try to roll it too thin. Also, make sure that there is enough xanthan gum in the dough. If it doesn't hold together before rolling out, there isn't enough x-gum in there.

    Being on the SCD has forced me to make several things that I previously bought pre-made. One of those things is crackers. I found and tweaked a recipe that has turned into a family favorite. They are way better than the rock hard nut thins that we used to eat. 2 C finely ground almond flour (I have used almond meal from Trader Joe's or Honeyville blanched...

    Thanks! I've missed "being" here. The SCD is so time consuming that I have little time for anything besides work, cooking and cleaning. My son was very sick over the summer and it took until the end of July to get a diagnosis. He's lost 34 pounds since spring and can't seem to gain anything back. He is playing HS football (his team is in the state semi...

    I haven't been on here for months because my son was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and we have been on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet since mid August. (It makes gluten-free seem REALLY easy.) I discovered an easy bread recipe that I make a few times a week. It makes great sandwiches that travel well in a lunchbox, so I thought I'd share. Soft...

    That was fascinating! The section about kidney disease was especially interesting to me. I was diagosed with a kidney disease back at a time when I was trying to reintroduce gluten grains (spelt, not wheat) into my diet. The disease completely went into remission when I went fanatically gluten-free and I have not had a problem for 5-1/2 years. I've had...

    I've been on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for 6 weeks and it's going well. I'm doing it with my 14 year old son, who has Ulcerative Colitis. It's a bit of a challenge, but do-able. I would suggest that you try nut flours - especially almond or pecan - and coconut flour rather than bean flours. The beans are harder to digest. There are lots of good...

    Pele - Thanks for the comments. I admit it, I'm lazy when it comes to pumpkin. I actually used to grow my own and cook them and make truly homemade pies. But it wasn't as good as Libby's! As for the coconut milk, I'll look into Natural Value. I think it's pretty clear when something like that doesn't have emulsifiers. Since coconut milk is not supposed...

    I'm hoping to find a "tried and true" recipe. After years of experimenting with gluten-free breads, I just want something that someone else has had success with. All the good looking recipes call for yogurt or cheese.

    Does anyone have a favorite dairy free SCD bread recipe that is fairly easy to make? My son would like a sandwich and I would too! It would make packing lunches a little easier and give him some more calories. Right now he usually takes 2 beef or turkey burgers with ketchup and mustard in a sandwich bag. Thanks!

    Hi everyone. Just wanted to pop in and say hi and see how everyone is doing. I'm on overload trying to get all this cooking done for 6 people and work 4 days a week. It's actually easier to cook SCD for everyone (not that it's easy), rather than try to cook SCD for 3, gluten-free for one and "regular" for 2. We all eat the same thing for breakfast and...

    My mom got the mandolin for me at Macy's. Probably in north Seattle. She had some super coupon and hit it on a sale day and then got a senior citizen discount and ended up getting it for pretty cheap, apparently. She gave it to me for my birthday, so wouldn't tell me how much it cost. Apparently there was some huge discussion about coconut water on...

    Bea - my grandfather played the mandolin and that was the only type I'd ever heard of until a couple of weeks ago. This kind is a nifty vegetable slicer/chopper thing that makes slices and julienne strips. Perfect for this diet! Pele - they are pretty serious over there. I like it in some ways though - my son really needs to get better and I need to...

    LOL! What I really want to talk about is coconut water! (I guess I'm not the only one posting on two different message boards!) I'll keep in mind that eating bacon once a week won't kill my son. But it would be nice to find one without sugar. Bea - the zucchini noodles are easy to make. I used my mandolin to slice the zucchini into lasagna sized ...
