    Have you tried it in the oven yet? I'm not a big microwave fan either - this is just how the recipe was. I'd love to be able to make a whole batch and toss them in the freezer or something. Man, I don't know what I did wrong but this was awful! Very chocolaty taste. Only cooked it for one min. and it was hard. Eatable, but hard and dense. And even...

    There should be several pre-packaged flour mixes that don't have pectin or citrus products in them. I prefer to make up my own mix - it's easy and much less expensive. This is what I do: 3 C Brown Rice Flour or Sorghum flour 1 C Potato Starch 1/2 C Tapioca Starch 2-1/2 tsp. Xanthan Gum Sift together 3 times. I use this cup for cup to replace regular...

    Try using a second Tbs. of flax meal. The "original" recipe called for 2 Tbs. of flax - it's a bit more "grainy", but still good.

    That is a great thing about such a small recipe. I keep thinking that I'm going to try adding herbs or tweaking it a bit more, but I don't want to eat too much of it.

    Mmm, sorghum flour sounds great! I like it, but don't buy it because it's so much more expensive than rice flour here. I'll have to get some anyway to try it. I'm glad that you're having success with this easy recipe too! I mixed up a ziploc bag full of the ingredients and now just measure 1/4 Cup with an egg when I need a "bun". The original recipe...

    It's just about the right size for a hamburger bun. I actually like to slice it into 3 slices and make a sandwich from the top and bottom. I eat the center part later with butter or jam. I'm not used to having a lot of bread anymore and it seems like too much. I've also noticed that sometimes it turns out too dry. If I only bake it for 1:25 I like...

    I'm the gluten-free wife and my husband has tried to be patient. We have 4 children and I was the only one gluten-free for several years, but now 2 of my kids (teenagers) are also gluten-free. So we have 3 and 3. Here's how we have ended up compromising: All breakfasts are gluten-free, except for the occasional time I buy gluten-free bagels. Because...

    Has anyone ever been to Alfio's in Chevy Chase? My son is going on his 8th grade trip to DC next week and that is the only restaurant listed. I've emailed them, but haven't gotten a response yet. The menu didn't look too promising.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll just have to trust him to make good decisions and use self-control. Most of their meals are just listed as "Open" with $7.00 or $8.00 listed as how much they get to spend. Hopefully there will be lots of Wendy's or places with salad. The tour company wouldn't give me any information, they just said that the school group leader...

    Hugs to you. I do remember how hard it was at first. No one in my husband's family was supportive at all and we live no more than 2-1/2 miles from his parents, sisters and brother and their families. It got better after a couple of years and now my 2 sister in laws are very supportive. My MIL still doesn't get it and doesn't care and my BIL's wife doesn...

    My 14 yo is going to Washington DC for his 8th grade trip next week. It snuck up on me. I'm planning to send him with a bag full of beef jerky, Envirokidz bars, dried fruit and other snacks so he won't starve. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the area around all the monuments and knows if there are places like Wendy's or any other place that he...

    Ginnybean - welcome. I'm sorry you're having a tough time with this. It is normal to feel angry and sad at first so go ahead and grieve and vent. You'll get to the point where you see your diagnosis as a positive thing, but it might take some time. Maybe you could tell us what kind of food you usually eat at home and we could give you some ideas on...

    Thanks!

    My son went gluten-free when he was 11, but it wasn't too big of a change because I was already gluten-free. But I do remember that it was hard on him at first. He's 14 now and will occasionally cheat with things like candy that has crisped rice in it, but other than that he's pretty good. I have a file called "25 easy gluten-free recipes that everyone...

    I ran across boxed Mac and Cheese at Trader Joes yesterday. I'm wondering if anyone else has tried it and if it's any good before I mix it up and give it to my kids. I know, I should have asked before I bought it, but I was so surprised to see it that I just grabbed it. I've never seen it there before. TIA

    I usually make Pamela's Gluten Free Bread Mix in muffin tins for dinner "rolls". They're delicious straight out of the oven especially. I usually time it so they go into the oven 20 minutes before we sit down to eat - after the meat is out. Very simple and always turn out well as long as you follow the package directions.

    I'm sure it seems like bad news, and it will be tough to get used to the change. Allow yourself to grieve. It's not easy at first, but you will be able to catch on. I speak as a mother of 4 - two of whom are gluten intolerant (no official diagnosis, but can't tolerate any gluten). Please try to be positive around him. If he hears that it's all horrible...

    Is anyone still doing this? I started a few days ago and haven't really noticed much, except that I don't seem to have as bad "morning breath" as usual and I do get mucus coming up and my nose runs for a while each morning after doing the swishing. I'm hoping it will help my psoriasis, but I'm not holding my breath.

    A woman at our local support group told us about a low-carb "bread" that she makes in the microwave. I tried it and thought it was okay and started to experiment a little. This morning, I hit a really great recipe. My 15 yo DD, who is not gluten-free said it was good and asked for more. It reminded me of whole wheat bread - soft, yet grainy in a good...

    All school lunches will be gluten-free and every child's birthday party will have gluten-free, dairy free and soy free pizza, cake and ice cream. Our children will never have to ask, "are you sure I can eat this?"

    What about our professional sports teams? The football and baseball stadiums will sell gluten-free Garlic Fries, Mo-jo potatoes, nachos, hot dogs, beer and all the other fun food you eat at a game. The basketball arena will have similar food along with gluten-free, Soy-free teriyaki, dairy-free ice "cream" and gluten-free sub sandwiches.

    Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I'm drooling already thinking about corned beef and cabbage tomorrow, laced with happy memories of eating it with my grandparents when I was little. My mother's maiden name was McNutt! Thanks for sharing the video clip - love the Irish music! My daughter did Irish Dance for a while and we all want to kick up our heels when...

    I've read that oil pulling can be hard on your teeth. Mine are full of fillings and I have 2 crowns and a root canal. Is it worth trying or would it make my teeth fall out?

    My kids like the raisin bread if it's toasted and they like the tapioca bread made into grilled sandwiches.
