    I've tried it and reacted to it.

    Curious 121 - welcome to the boards. Add me to the list of people who have been diagnosed with IBS - first they said I had "colitis" and then changed it to IBS. I don't know if there's really a difference. I lived on Tums for years, even though they didn't help much and thought that gas, cramps and stomach aches were normal for me because I had a "sensitive...

    They didn't change the ingredients in their Caesar dressing, did they?

    I should tell another story too, that I almost forgot about. I have a sweet SIL who's a great cook. Last week, the day before my work partner gave me the cookies, she handed me a box and said, "You might like these for dinner". I looked inside and there were these really yummy meat patties that are a traditional food in Iran, where her husband comes from...

    I make Pelmini, which is basically the same as Pierogi. I use brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch and xanthan gum. It always turns out great. If you do a search for "pelmini" on here, my recipe for the dough will come up.

    This will be my 11th Thanksgiving where I've had to eat "differently". Nine of those I was wheat, egg, dairy and soy-free, with not much gluten to speak of, and this will be my 2nd fanatically gluten-free Thanksgiving (still no eggs, dairy or soy either). I do remember my first one - it was the hardest. I didn't know how to adapt recipes very well yet...

    Just wanted to post a happy experience I had last week at work. At our staff meeting we had a celebration of fall birthdays. (They do this every year, and every year I've been handed a piece of cheesecake or fancy dessert and someone will say something like, "Oh, I know you can't eat it, but your kids will probably like it" and I smile and don't say anything...

    Really? You can get it to work with egg replacer? Do you use Ener-G? I haven't even tried it without eggs because I've had so many flops in the past. Can you please tell me exactly how you do it?

    You've gotten a lot of good advice here, so I don't have too much to add. If you can cook, you can cook gluten-free. I was nervous about hosting my first completely gluten-free Thanksgiving last year, since we were having non-relatives who didn't know a thing about eating gluten-free. I shouldn't have worried, it was fine. Everyone LOVED my cornbread...

    I agree with pretty much everything that others have said. It really doesn't have to be that hard. I am off gluten, milk, soy and eggs and one daughter is off gluten and one son is off gluten and milk. I have two other kids and a husband who can eat anything. We make it work and everyone eats the same food. You really should try keeping a gluten-free...

    If you're really worried, or if they're going to stuff it with gluten-filled stuffing, you could always bake a cornish game hen to take with you.

    Fiddle-Faddle - Thanks for this link! (I know I'm not Carla, but I wanted the music.) My son and I have been practicing it on our little recorder flutes so he can do something in our church talent show. It was the perfect song. It actually sounds good on my wooden recorder!

    I'd leave out too many names if I tried, so I'll just say thank you to all the people who have done scientific type research that has saved me precious time. And I love all the laughter and fun. I'm pretty reserved, so it's fun to come on here and read about how wild and crazy some of you are!

    I've had good luck finding tapioca starch and white rice flour in the Asian sections of local stores, but haven't seen brown rice flour. Have you seen the brown rice flour anywhere but in health food stores or online? I don't usually use the white flour for anything other than gravies and sauces. I can order a 25 lb sack of br. rice flour for about 75...

    My "recipe" is similar to Laura J's, but I use 1 loaf of Ener-G Brown Rice Loaf and 1 batch of homemade cornbread. I cube and dry all the bread (I always make a 22-24 lb turkey, so we use a lot of stuffing). When I'm ready to make the stuffing I simply add chopped onion, chopped apple and raisins, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, some olive oil and chicken...

    I'm so glad that he's doing better! Isn't great that something so simple can help so much? I hope he continues to improve. Please keep us posted. Feel free to stick around and be part of our community - you'll get a lot of valuable information here.

    Sorry to break up all the fun and hilarity, but I just came from a doctor's appointment and am supremely frustrated. I had surgery (to repair a hernia and torn muscle) 5 weeks ago and still am not anywhere near 100%. She told me I still have to be on lifting restriction (very hard, since I'm a PE teacher) and to take it easy. I have 4 kids, work 2-1/2...

    I use a similar recipe to Triticus Toxicum, but use brown rice flour and add xanthan gum. All my cookies turn out great and not too flat. 3 C Brown Rice Flour 1 C Potato starch 1/2 C Tapioca starch 2-1/2 tsp. xanthan gum Sift together 3 times to make sure the xanthan gum is evenly distributed. My niece came camping with us over the summer...

    I'm feeling frustrated about the same thing. My mom is very supportive - even takes gluten-free flour home and bakes cookies for my kids. I don't see my siblings or extended family very much, so it doesn't matter. We live close to ALL my husband's family. One sister in law is very supportive and one tries, but I just can't trust her. One SIL just ignores...

    Welcome to the board. You're in the right place. To echo what others have said, you should keep eating gluten until after your biopsy. But even if the biopsy is negative, you should try going gluten-free. Or you could just trust the bloodwork results and start the diet now. Your low positive is still positive and your other health conditions point to...

    I just about fell out of my chair laughing. Ummm, you're spending large amounts of time posting in a thread designed for 40+ year old women. YES, I can believe it.

    My 11 year old son still has problems with bedwetting. Gluten doesn't seem to affect it either way. He's gluten-free and dairy-free and I honestly can't say that going gluten-free helped at all with the wetting. I was hoping for a miracle for him, because it's so hard at his age. He's already dreading 6th grade camp, because even the medication doesn...

    I make pasta once in a while for a ravioli-type dish. I have cut the leftover dough into noodle strips and everyone in my house has liked them. They are a bit thicker than commercial noodles, but I think that all homemade pasta is. I make the following recipe, but I leave out the egg and substitute a little more oil and water, since I can't have eggs....

    Don't be so sure that you can't bake one. I've been doing it for years and it works, with a little help from icing and cereal boxes. Here's my recipe/directions: Gingerbread people/house (adapted from Betty Crocker) 1 C packed brown sugar 1/3 C shortening, butter or margarine 1-1/2 C dark molasses 2/3 C cold water 7 C gluten-free flour (make sure...

    Wow! You're really brave! But if you're going to cheat, you might as well get some enjoyment out of it, right? It wouldn't be nearly as much fun to cheat with something like Rice Crispies, that just have a little barley malt and aren't a big thrill to eat anyway. I have no answers for you, but I agree with Carla's logic. I bet if you cheated for...
