What about mixing in a little arrowroot starch?

ARCHIVED Celiac Girl Scout!
lonewolf replied to Ruth's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I haven't done a girl scout camping trip, but we do go camping in the summer with friends. Here are some things I have found to help. Breakfast: Bring your own griddle - cook sausage, pancakes, grilled toast, eggs, etc on it. It's amazing that even something like Ener-G Brown rice loaf that tastes like styrofoam tastes good when it's grilled with butter... -
ARCHIVED Yummy Cake Recipe
lonewolf replied to lonewolf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Cheri, Next time I am going to try to use egg replacer and gelatin. That's worked well in the past for cakes. This time I used real eggs, although I don't normally. It was for my kids, who can have eggs, but I tasted a little bit too. I'm pretty sure there is a list that mentions gluten-free pudding mixes somewhere on this website. -
ARCHIVED Beware Of Soy!
lonewolf replied to ms-sillyak-screwed's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I'm glad I'm not the only one who tries to tell people about the dangers of soy. Please, PLEASE don't feed it to your children, except in small amounts like soy sauce. Especially don't give it to little boys. If women take it to balance out their female hormones, what do you think it will do to developing little boys? -
I'd like to add that - I love red-headed children! (one of mine is a red-head too!)

ARCHIVED gluten-free/soy Free Stir Fry
lonewolf replied to Jen H's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Just a hint - toasted sesame oil is good for stir-fry. Gives some more asian flavor. Use half sesame oil with your other oil. -
ARCHIVED Newbie To Site - "veteran" To Celiac
lonewolf replied to MallysMama's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Okay, that made me get misty eyed. Your mom sounds like such a sweet person. Please take care of yourself - for your sake, your mom's sake and your beautiful little girl's sake. No "convenience" is worth risking all that you have going for you. -
I just made a really delicious cake from a recipe on this website. It's the White Cake recipe. I added a package of coconut pudding mix (Oetker brand) to the dry ingredients and added about 2 extra Tbs. of water. I didn't have any rice milk, so I used water for the liquid and it still turned out great. Even my gluten-loving kids cut into it. It's half...

ARCHIVED Sourdough Bread Recipe Wanted
lonewolf replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I haven't made gluten-free sourdough yet, but my guess is that the potato starch and rice flour are necessary. I have a "regular" recipe for a sourdough starter that uses potato flakes. Potatoes will ferment as will rice (think sakee), so I would think these would be necessary. Can you post the recipe? I'd love to try it. -
ARCHIVED Almost Ice Cream
lonewolf replied to Claire's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Judy, The coconut sorbet is sweet, but isn't too sweet. It's not overpowering like some of the fruit sorbets are. It's very rich though. You will be satisfied with a modest sized serving. It's very good with chocolate syrup or fruit syrup. I can't figure out why our Trader Joe's stopped carrying it - it always seemed to sell well. My son and I haven... -
ARCHIVED Almost Ice Cream
lonewolf replied to Claire's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I second the motion! It's GREAT! I've never had a problem with it. For a really yummy treat mix in some crushed Kinnickinnick K-toos. Closest thing I've had to a "Blizzard" for 10 years. Our Trader Joe's stopped carrying it, so I might have to drive the hour to Whole Foods here. -
I love my husband and 4 children. I love that when my 14 year old daughter called me this morning to ask me to bring her something, her last words were, "I love you, mom". I love that I am healthy and (at 42) can still whoop the tar out of my middle school basketball team on the court. I love the memory of the rheumatologist who told me that I'd...

Mally's Mama It's okay to be frustrated and angry, whine a little bit, feel sorry for yourself and then move on. I really do understand why you'd feel frustrated. I found out all in one day that I couldn't have wheat/gluten, eggs, soy, dairy and several other minor foods. I had 3 small (4 and under) children. I didn't know what to eat, but I had motivation...

ARCHIVED Buckwheat Flour....awful Stuff!
lonewolf replied to mommyetb's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I agree about using it in small quantities with other flours. For buckwheat pancakes I have used 1/4 C buckwheat flour with 1-3/4 C gluten-free flour mix and that's enough. I made a loaf of cement bread once with it too. No one makes that mistake twice! -
ARCHIVED Do Our Pets Have Celiac?
lonewolf replied to Rachel--24's topic in Publications & Publicity
I didn't read the article and I don' have cats, but... I talked to a vet a few months ago (long story how we got on this topic) and he said that cats are the only animal he knows of that can get celiac disease, but they can also get it from other foods - it's the damage to the intestines and secondary problems that are considered celiac, not the trigger... -
ARCHIVED Corned Beef And Cabbage?
lonewolf replied to GlutenFreeAl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thank you! -
ARCHIVED Corned Beef And Cabbage?
lonewolf replied to GlutenFreeAl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
So, does anyone know if it's possible to get corned beef without sodium nitrate and all the other nasty chemicals that I avoid? My grandfather was Irish and we always used to have corned beef around St. Patricks's day, and often a couple other times a year. -
ARCHIVED Ener-g Foods
lonewolf replied to gymnastjlf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The only way I've found to make the rice bread taste halfway decent is to spread it with garlic butter and cook it on the pancake griddle - flip it over to lightly toast the back side. It isn't too bad this way. It's also edible made into grilled cheese if you use enough butter and cook it until it's browned. Of course, I haven't had any "real" bread for... -
ARCHIVED What Unusual Concoctions Do You Enjoy?
lonewolf replied to jaten's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks Jen! I almost panicked when I read the comment about A-1. I couldn't figure out how I had missed gluten on the label - guess I hadn't! -
ARCHIVED Non-celiac Gluten Intolerance
lonewolf replied to katerinvon's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I guess this whole issue still confuses me. I am most definitely gluten intolerant, but by the time I knew that I should have testing done for a "real" diagnosis I had been off gluten for so long that no test would be accurate. My doctor agreed that I should have some genetic testing done, so I had the gene test from Kimball Genetics. It was negative for... -
ARCHIVED For Those With Rheumatoid Arthritis
lonewolf replied to Ann1231's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Canned tuna is good. If you haven't tried fresh tuna though, it's REALLY yummy. We cook it on the grill with just a little lemon, salt and pepper. I didn't eat bananas for a long time because they showed up as a reactive food on a food allergy test I had done. I eat them now with no problems. The flaxseed oil is gross. I have juice or something waiting... -
Okay, I know this isn't baking or cooking, but I had to share a discovery that I made. Chocolate flavored Almond Breeze (by Blue Diamond) with some peppermint flavoring makes the BEST cocoa. For those of us who can't do dairy or soy it's hard to find a good cocoa replacement. My kids all love it - even the ones who can drink regular milk. I heat up a...

Oh darn - now I see them - down at the bottom of the ingredient list. I'll give it a try, but have not had any luck with any type of yeast bread without eggs. Other people have had good results with making muffin sized breads, so maybe they will work in the small pan. For quick breads I have great success with egg replacer, flax meal and gelatin, depending...

ARCHIVED For Those With Rheumatoid Arthritis
lonewolf replied to Ann1231's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis about 10 years ago. The rheumatologist told me it was just like RA, but without the R factor. I went gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free... Well, actually, all I ate for the first year was rice, vegetables (not nightshades), fruits (not bananas), olive and canola oil, sunflower seeds and a few other nuts... -
ARCHIVED Am I Doing Something Wrong?
lonewolf replied to gabrielle's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I don't use a mix, but I make pancakes from scratch at least once a week. I have found that it's best to mix in too little liquid at first and then slowly stir in more until the batter is the right consistency.
