    I'm on a quest to find you a suitable ice cream substitute! Have you been able to find Sharon's coconut sorbet? It's really yummy and you won't miss the dairy. We make "ice cream" cake with it. Can you get Celestial Seasonings "Tea Dreams"? It's made with Rice Dream. We've only tried the Imperial White Peach flavor and it's good - much better than regular...

    Dessert is my downfall. You can make great desserts with sorbet or rice dream. Gluten Free Pantry makes a good cake mix that's easy. Or you can make a berry pie or cobbler, or... PM me if you want some dessert recipes!

    What are they made of? I haven't had cheesecake for 10 years! Rachel - I used to love dairy and had to quit cold turkey 10 years ago. I avoided every trace of it like the plague for about 8 years. Now I occasionally bake with butter (I can't have any margarines) and eat some once in a while on toast. I also occasionally eat raw goat cheese and sheep...

    Chrissy, I'm so sorry about the problems your daughter is having. My oldest is 14 and I feel for you - I can't imagine how hard it would be to see my child so sick. I hope and pray that the doctors will have wisdom to figure out something that will really help her. Cyber hugs from mom to mom. ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

    Are you allergic to eggs? If not, they would definitely help. If you are, try some Ener-G Egg Replacer. I usually sift a tsp. in with the dry ingredients and then stir a tsp. in with water to add to the wet stuff. Also, a teaspoon of lemon juice will react with the baking soda to make bubbles, which will make a lighter texture.

    My kids love these pancakes. They're really easy too - I would never spend the money for a mix. 1 Egg 2-1/2 Tbs Oil 1-3/4 C Milk (rice milk or whatever) 1-1/2 C gluten-free flour mix (I use Bette Hagman's regular mix + 1 tsp. xanthan gum) 1/4 C Sorghum flour 1 Tbs Baking Powder 1 tsp. Ener-G Egg Replacer 1/2 tsp Salt 1-1/2 tsp Cinnamon (my secret...

    The gluten-free Pantry mix is great. You can also make them from scratch following the White Cake recipe in the recipe section here. Sorry I'm not good at doing the links. My kids all loved the cake and I'm going to make cupcakes out of it next time. (I added a pack of coconut pudding mix to it, but you don't have to.)

    I'll just list things that have gone away or improved since I went gluten-free, since I have never been officially diagnosed. Dental enamel problems/dozens of cavities as a child (NONE in the past 10 years) Psoriatic Arthritis Psoriasis (improved, not gone) Excema (improved, not gone) Rosacea Excessive gas Alternating D and C Loud, gurgling stomach...

    I have something on hand for my son just in case he can't have the snack. When it's my turn, I usually make homemade cookies (no one has ever noticed they're "different") or gluten-free rice crispy treats. Every once in a while someone else will bring something he can eat (like Lays chips or safe fruit snacks), but I decided to not bother asking since so...

    I also bake cupcakes ahead, frost them and then freeze them. It has come in very handy for birthday parties and any occasion at school where treats are handed out. The last birthday party my son went to was a pizza party - I made an Amy's pizza for him and sent a cupcake and some sorbet. (He avoids dairy for the most part, but I allow him a little cheese...

    The calcium ones are better than the plain Gummy Vites. Not that I would ever sneak any when my kids weren't looking.

    Like I said in my previous post - I discovered I had other food intolerances and got better when I eliminated ALL of those foods. The rheumatologist (2 of them actually) told me that changing my diet wouldn't help. When I went back, excited that I was getting better WITHOUT their medications I was told that it was crazy to think that what I ate would affect...

    Another thought - It's a lot easier to put an 18 month old on a gluten-free diet than an older child. Why not just start now, BEFORE she has a lot of health problems. My 11 year old is having troubles with following the gluten-free diet because he knows what he's missing and doesn't want to miss it. He's only been doing it for 3 months and it's a struggle...

    What? I thought there was just a problem with some soy in it. I've been eating it for a couple of years with NO problems - and I'm sensitive to soy too. According to their website (Sharon's) it was gluten-free last time I looked.

    A lot of us, as you can tell by the other posts in this thread, have many other problems, including food allergies. You're right, Celiac is difficult. But from my perspective, it would be "easy" if I could eat eggs, soy and dairy, and "all" I had to avoid was gluten. Others have it way worse than I do.

    I had horrible joint pain too (everywhere except my jaw) and it went away when I eliminated eggs, dairy and soy, as well as gluten. It got a little better right away, but it took about 8 months before I could make it through the day without large doses of ibuprofen (careful with that BTW, I now have kidney disease). Now, 10 years later, I'm pain free, and...

    What other bins are near the gluten-free bins? In our local health food store, the potato starch and tapioca starch is near the salt, sugar and dried beans, but the rice flour is right next to oat bran and near rye flour and spelt. I won't buy anything that's close enough for easy CC.

    Interesting. I knew that there was a reason I avoid ALL medication now. I haven't used any steroids for quite a while for my psoriasis - maybe that's why the rosacea went away. And I've used a LOT of probiotics. My psoriasis is still worse though - I'm sticking to fruits, vegies and lean meat today until I clear my body of any trace of eggs or anything...

    I get dehydrated lentil and black bean soup from our local health food store, gluten-free pancake mix works well, dehydrated potatoes (from a box of scalloped potatoes) and a small can of chicken or turkey makes a decent meal-I'm sure you could substitute tofu or beans for the meat, gluten-free rice pilaf in boxes (Lundberg brand is good), and all the...

    Prednisone is NASTY! I was on it for 9-1/2 months (several of those months at a very high dose) and I managed to gain only 26 pounds by trying to starve myself and exercise a lot. I still (over a year and a half later) haven't been able to get rid of the weight. AARRGGHH!

    I'll be curious to see if you discover a connection with eggs and rosacea. I've been cheating a little bit lately with them and my psoriasis has flared up big time. It was almost gone - with the help of Dovonex and now my arms are covered again and inside my ears. Until you reminded me of the rosacea I had forgotten about it - I hope it doesn't flare up...

    I was diagnosed with Rosacea about 4 years ago (also have psoriasis), had it off and on for 2 years and now it has gone away. I got REALLY strict with my diet (eggs seem to be a trigger for me) and stopped using sunscreen with zinc oxide (also seems to have triggered it) and I haven't had it reappear. Heat - hot showers and too much sun triggered it too...

    Welcome to my life! No gluten, no dairy (except for occasional raw goat cheese), no soy, no eggs. You'll begin to appreciate sorbet, rice dream, tea dream and smoothies to satisfy your ice cream cravings. You eat about 5 times as much as I do (and you're probably thin, too ), so it could be a challenge, but you can live quite nicely on meat, rice...

    Here's another easy candied nut recipe: 2 generous Tbs. pure maple syrup 2 C pecans (or almonds or walnuts) Heat syrup in a sauce pan over med. heat until it's bubbly. Add nuts and stir to coat well with the syrup. Reduce heat to med. low. Continue to stir until syrup "sugars" - it will go from moist to dry on the nuts. (This will take 3-4 minutes...

    I also like Almond Breeze, but think the Vanilla is a little too sweet. They also make an "original" that is sweetened, but not much - only 8 carbs per cup and 2 varieties of unsweetened - regular and vanilla. I mix a carton of unsweetened vanilla with the regular vanilla and it's really good. The original is good for baking, because it isn't too sweet...
