    What did I do wrong? It only showed me 3 recipes, none of which look very interesting.

    You could just substitute gluten-free flour, with plenty of xanthan gum, for the flour in the dough recipe. I make pie crust and pot pie dough and meat pies fairly often and they turn out great. I'm sure they'd work deep fried too.

    I also have symptoms that point to Celiac, as did my father, but don't have either of the two genes. I know I can't eat gluten, no matter what any gene test tells me, so I stay gluten-free.

    Tonsils are actually an important part of your immune system. I had mine out at age 23 after a lot of problems, but now I see that they were diet related and it could have been avoided. You might want to consider changing your kids diet and seeing what happens with their tonsils before having them removed. You don't want to just remove a major symptom...

    It sounds like you need to increase your protein intake - beans (soaked overnight and then cooked), nuts, seeds, rice protein powder in smoothies, etc. You also might want to cook your veggies for a while (at least half of them) until your stomach calms down.

    Yes, but I usually either sift it again before measuring or measure a scant cup (just slightly "dipped"). I usually make regular recipes from Betty Crocker or wherever. It seems easier than following a lot of the special gluten-free recipes. The only thing this flour hasn't worked well with is yeast bread, but that's almost impossible anyway. Once you...

    The white cake recipe in the recipe section of this site is excellent. I've made it 3 times and served it to company. Everyone liked it. I used water once and rice milk the other times for the liquid. Twice I added a package of Dr. Oetker's coconut pudding mix to the flour and then increased the liquid by 1/4 cup.

    I know this is posted elsewhere on this site, but I've found that the easiest flour mix is 3 C Brown rice flour, 1 C potato starch, 1/2 C tapioca starch and 2-1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Sift it together 3 times. Sometimes I use more potato starch or substitute some sweet rice flour, but this is the basic mix. I make everything with it - just made pancakes this...

    Just wanted to pass my empathy on to your little guy. (BTW - he's adorable!) I struggled with cavities all during my childhood - I had 12 cavities at one time once. I wasn't allowed to eat candy, drink pop or anything and brushed my teeth well. I didn't stop getting cavities until I stopped eating wheat 10 years ago. I'm so glad you've figured it out...

    I had horrible edema and finally found out that I have a kidney disease (NOT kidney failure). The doctor said that my diet had nothing to do with it. I realized on my own that eating gluten was affecting me (first symptom of my kidneys acting up is edema) and cut it out completely. (I had been wheat-free, but cheating with spelt occasionally and didn't...

    Almond butter (or peanut butter) on celery or a rice cake makes a quick and easy breakfast or snack. I also keep raw almonds in my desk at work and on hand at home. When I make smoothies for breakfast, I add rice protein powder to them so they aren't all carbs. If you can find some good sausage, it's an easy thing to make ahead and refrigerate/freeze in...

    My son likes deli meat wrapped up in lettuce or corn tortillas, secured with a toothpick. A 100% juice box, carrot sticks, chips or pretzels (Ener-G brand), homemade cookies, Envirokidz cereal bar, piece of fruit and sometimes popcorn. He also likes tortilla chips and a little thermos of warm refried beans to dip them in. If your son can handle milk, string...

    Just a thought - Did you add anything to your diet when you went gluten-free? Like using more corn, soy, eggs or dairy? Maybe you have been eating more of something you're sensitive to that has intensified.

    I developed steroid-induced diabetes when I was on large amounts of prednisone. (It went away when I stopped the prednisone.) Exercise was key in keeping me off insulin. I tried to go for a 20 minute walk after every meal where I ate a significant amount of carbs. I also checked my blood sugar 3x a day and would walk if it was too high. My doctor said...

    Where was this board 19 years ago? I had my tonsils taken out then after numerous bouts of tonsilitis and courses of antibiotics. I had those "stones" and never knew what they were until I read this thread. I had wondered if it had to do with my diet later on (like, 9 years later) and now I'm sure of it.

    Just thought of something else. If he's not casein free, then butter is probably okay and you might try small amounts of raw goat cheese - it's better than it sounds. You can also get goat yogurt in a lot of places - our Trader Joe's has it.

    "Kiss My Face" has a good deodorant. And Trader Joe's has one that's made with cotton fibers (I'm at work or I'd tell you the name). Don't know if you have TJ's down there.

    I'm sensitive (allergic? intolerant?) to soy. It causes digestive upset and joint pain for me. I, personally, don't think it's good to give small children large amounts of it, since women take it for help with female hormones. It's full of phytoestrogens. You can get more information, if you're interested, at: Open Original Shared Link My son and...

    The book Incredible, Edible Gluten Free Foods for Kids (I think that's what it's called) is great and has lots of easy and kid-friendly recipes. It's a good place for a "newbie" to start. A lot of the recipes have dairy, but many of them can use rice or almond milk.

    I don't know of a mix or jar, but I make gravy all the time by using rice flour. White rice flour works the best and tastes most like "regular" gravy, but brown rice flour works well too. I just use chicken broth or pan drippings and thicken it like I would any other gravy. I've even served it to company on Thanksgiving.

    My 11 yo son's teacher suggested he be tested for ADD earlier this school year. I took him to the pediatrician, asked about Celiac (he tested negative) and other food issues. He's already off milk and has been since about 13 months old. The pediatrician suggested going wheat free, no matter what the tests showed. I had him go gluten-free and he has done...

    I can't find the recipe, but another yummy way to eat millet is to cook it like Spanish rice - add tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic, salt and cumin to the water.

    I have an 11 year old son who has been off milk for his whole life and just recently we found out he is gluten intolerant. He has some behavioral issues, mostly attention problems rather than being "naughty" and a lot of negativity. He was very angry when he was told he couldn't have wheat/gluten anymore. It's been a few months and he's doing much better...
  24. lonewolf
    Could he have problems with other foods, like dairy, eggs or soy? All of these can cause stomach upset too. Just a thought...

    Ursula, that's really interesting. I have psoriasis and probably excema too. (Aren't I lucky?) EVERY doctor that I've ever been to that has looked at my skin has said something along the lines of, "your psoriasis is very unusual". I'm wondering if I have DH and psoriasis. My skin is not too bad right now, but I've been fanatically gluten-free for...
