  1. It does take some time to get used to gluten-free baking. Keep trying though, you'll get better with practice. I've been baking (or should I say trying to bake) gluten-free for 10 years, and I've only had success in the past 3. For me, it was finding a good flour mix - it all came together after that. I started with pancakes, then cookies, then muffins...
  2. Yes. It adds more fat, but also protein, so I don't worry too much. It also gives them a great texture.
  3. I use Ener-G Brown Rice Loaf and homemade cornbread for my stuffing. I take the whole loaf of bread, cut it into cubes and bake it in the oven until it is really dry. I make a batch of homemade cornbread, cool it, cut it into cubes and dry it too. Of course, I don't measure anything, but I put all the dry bread cubes in a big bowl, stir in a large chopped...
  4. Welcome! You have nothing to lose by trying the gluten-free diet. Hopefully it will help you. And hopefully we can help you out too. The people on the board are great and many are really knowledgable. I love your screen name - are you a good story-teller?
  5. This is SO GOOD! I can't eat soy, but the small amount of soy lecithin doesn't bother me at all. Our Trader Joe's has been out of it for a couple of weeks and I'm really hungry for it. Their website says they have 5 flavors, including chocolate chip mint, but I've only seen the vanilla and the carrot cake.
  6. Oh, I just remembered one thing that I usually add to my chocolate chip cookies - 1/2 C peanut butter or 1/2 C almond butter. This makes them really extra yummy. (I usually do almond butter.)
  7. I do the same thing with waffles and pancakes too! My M-I-L was just asking me this morning for my waffle recipe and I told her it was from Betty Crocker, with just gluten-free flour and she was amazed. I still love a lot of the recipes in that cookbook and most of them are pretty easy to convert.
  8. Well, beyond the obvious, "stay gluten free", I don't have much advice. I do have a question though. Do you drink a lot of diet pop with nutrasweet or aspartame? I used to have a similar weird feeling in my brain, though maybe more like I felt my brain shook for just a second. I traced it back to Nutrasweet. Stopped drinking pop and the weird feeling...
  9. If you really wanted to just help people by giving the information, you wouldn't have pasted the same story in almost every section and in the middle of other topics. THIS is what WE especially don't want.
  10. Thanks Karen! NOW I see the button at the bottom that says, "Report" and now I know what it's for! I grew up in a strange religion that taught about "healing" like this and I feel like going ballistic when I see someone post something like this.
  11. Yikes, I was off the board for 10 minutes and came back to see a bunch of messages from "Alfred". I'm sure someone who is "in the know" knows what to do.
  12. Sorry you're going through this. A lot of people on here seem to find out that they have other food intolerances after a month or two of gluten free. You could possibly be casein intolerant (not just lactose) and have problems with other foods too. I know for myself that I have to avoid gluten, dairy, eggs and soy. Just eating gluten-free wouldn't keep...
  13. Yay for Toll House cookies and yay for you! I have the best luck following "regular" recipes and just substituting gluten-free flour. Happy that you had a success!
  14. These sound yummy! My kids love pineapple, so I'll have to try it for brunch this weekend.
  15. I have a husband and 4 children ages 9, 11, 13 and 15. I only allow gluten-free flours in the house. I do allow "regular" bread, since it is cheaper and my husband and 2 kids have no problems with it. I make almost everything gluten-free. All cookies, cakes, brownies, muffins, pancakes, waffles, etc are for everyone. With practice you can make all those...
  16. I make up a modification of Bette Hagman's basic flour mix. I use 3 C Brown Rice flour, 1 C Potato Starch, 1/2 C Tapioca starch and 2-1/2 tsp xanthan gum, sifted 3 times. I store it in the refrigerator, since br. rice flour gets rancid more easily than white rice flour. I store my big container of br. rice flour in the freezer.
  17. I just now read through most of this thread, and realized that I am fairly ignorant of all the ins and outs of understanding genes and T-cells etc. But this post caught my eye because of the mention of kidney disease. I've had psoriasis for about 20 years, was diagnosed over 10 years ago with hypothyroid and psoriatic arthritis. All of these are autoimmune...

    ARCHIVED English Check?

    I'm in a hurry off to a doctor's appointment, but just want to mention that the content is great, but that you have several run-on sentences that need commas, and a couple that should be divided into 2 sentences. I used to teach English (to middle school students) and have an eye for editing punctuation. If you'd like, I could suggest a few minor punctuation...
  19. I just had my son tested recently. It took 3 weeks to the day to get the results.
  20. I just read this whole thread. I have several food issues (see signature) and in the past 10 years have cheated very few times. Since discovering the whole gluten intolerance/Celiac thing, rather than just thinking I had a wheat allergy that I would overcome if I avoided it for long enough, I have not intentionally eaten any gluten at all. It's not even...
  21. I like Imagine Foods tomato soup in the aseptic package. It isn't condensed, but it's too strong to eat without diluting, so it might work.
  22. I technically don't have Celiac (don't have the main genes), but had horrible cavities as a child and into adulthood until I stopped eating wheat/gluten. So even if your daughter tests negative for Celiac, it might be good for her to be gluten free in case she has a different problem with gluten.
  23. Erewhon (sp?) and Barbara's both make gluten-free crispy rice cereals. They're easy to find in the Northwest, not sure where you are.
  24. I agree with Carla - it could be non-Celiac gluten sensitivity. I don't have the Celiac genes, but I do have the gluten sensitivity gene and I react to gluten very strongly. It would be a good idea to look into dairy, soy, corn and eggs too. All of these are common foods that can cause digestive problems.
  25. I've eaten it without problems. According to their website they only make gluten-free, dairy-free stuff, so I can't imagine how they could have CC.
