    Well, you didn't mention pie, but pumpkin pie is an easy one. You don't even need flour except for the crust, and even there you can use almond meal or other things. Macaroons are an easy cookie to make too. If I recall correctly, one recipe I saw was basically coconut, sugar, and evaporated milk.

    At one time I started getting the sort of pains you describe. They shifted around, eventually going into my arms, down my back, side to side, then into my legs. This went on for months though, so I don't know if it relates at all to your experience. It would eventually turn out to be from nightshades, but I suspect they might not have become a problem...

    Have you tried coconut milk/cream? Also, I've found nut meals/flours to work very well in place of dairy in baking. You can also grind your own nuts with a little water until they form a fine paste, or whatever thickness you need. Then use it just like butter or milk. Of course you'll need to adjust the liquids, but it can work well.

    Well, I've not looked into the glycemic load stuff, but I know there are numerous forms of starches. Some sources which come to mind are sweet potato, tapioca, and taro. The starch in taro is the same as that in potato.

    Well, true to a point I guess, though there aren't too many forms of life which can live in the stomach anyway, on account of the hydrochloric acid. Intestinal "flora", sure. But I'm not purposely ingesting them, as would be the case with xanthan gum. If it was truly all the same, we could eat poop, or dirt, etc. But we don't. I guess it's the more direct...

    My first thought on the noodles is to use those cellophane noodles. They are made from mung beans, so should be gluten-free, but of course do verify the ingredients. I'm not sure about the vinegar though. Obviously grain vinegar is out, but what about white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar? Other than that, maybe lemon juice? The seasoning packet...

    Well, I've read that xanthan gum can be a problem because some companies grow the microbes on wheat. Apparently corn is also commonly used to grow the microbes, so those who cannot tolerate corn might have problems from it too. I decided to use guar gum right from the start, so I don't know if I'd have a reaction to xanthan. I just don't like the idea...

    It's also worth noting that most vitamin B12 supplements are cyanocobalamin, which is not as effective as methylcobalamin. It also has cyanide (hence the name), which is supposed to be disposed of by the body without incident. That just doesn't sound very reassuring to me, especially considering the damaged intestinal wall which allows various toxic substances...

    I read something about cassava (the root from which tapioca is derived) producing some sort of toxic substance when cut, and that it has to be prepared properly to destroy that substance. Apparently though some people do get an upset stomach from tapioca anyway, so I suppose it might be related to the toxin (which I recall was a cyanide acid of sorts). ...

    Well, I do know how it is to have family members in disbelief. I don't know what would ever convince them, so most times I don't even try.

    ARCHIVED Testing Kids

    RiceGuy replied to Jo.R's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Well, since gluten intolerance is genetic, I think it would be a good idea for you to get your children tested. However, like you said, since they aren't showing any obvious signs, the tests will quite likely give a negative. Many with terrible symptoms get false negatives, so it's not always so reliable. However, I've read there are some gene tests that...

    The good news is that supplementation of B12 using sublingual methylcobalamin has been proven just as effective as shots. So, it isn't necessary to get routinely pricked with a needle. It is the form I have been taking, and yes it does indeed work! It's also pretty cheap, so why get needled?

    What do "spoon-shaped" nails look like? I've not heard that term before.

    I've read that some producers feed the microbes on corn, and others feed them on wheat. I suppose a few other things may be used as well. To me, a microbial slime isn't so appealing, so I use guar gum. It's from guar beans.
  16. RiceGuy
    Well, there are actually no plants or animals known to produce vitamin B12. Only certain microbes have been found to do this. So it makes sense to me that if a cow gets B12 by grazing on grass and such, then I'd have to guess it is the modern farming methods, especially the use of pesticides, herbicides, etc that kill off the microbes, thus our plants don...

    If you select the text you want to print, then click File>>Print...and choose the option to print only the selection, that should work fine.

    I've little doubt that you will experience withdrawal, but you may also find it helps a lot to avoid it. I say this because Marmite has an enormous amount of MSG - the highest of any product on the planet, except of course a jar of MSG from the factory. As for replacing Marmite, I'm sure that's not a large problem. If you have a blender, it should be...

    So, confectioner's sugar has cornstarch added to it? I never looked, but it does make sense that there would need to be something to keep it from clumping together. I don't use any sugar, so I don't concern myself with that. If you do grind your own, you might have to add something to keep it from compacting together, in which case perhaps tapioca flour...

    That's the first thing I thought of as well, but figured it probably wasn't the reason since the recipe is already gluten-free, so adjustments shouldn't be necessary. However, there wouldn't be any harm in doing so in the absence of whatever the ideal flour happens to be, or just to suit a personal preference. On the other hand, what about oven temp, and...
  21. RiceGuy
    Yes. I DO know exactly how that is, and very unfortunately so.
  22. RiceGuy
    Well, though you might certainly be gluten intolerant, you did mention a yeast allergy. If I'm not mistaken, soy sauce is a fermented product, and if the bread or anything else you eat has yeast then it could be a contributing factor. I found yeasts and sugars to be a problem quite awhile before I knew anything about gluten, but now I know it was related...
  23. RiceGuy
    The recipe doesn't specify what kind of rice flour. There are at least three different ones that I know of: Brown, White, and Sweet White. I cannot tell which might be the best to yield the desired results, but I'd try them all anyway just to see what happens.

    Welcome to the board! Many processed meats (ones with sices and stuff added) can contain gluten, so you'd have to be very careful. It may not be clearly listed on the label either. Plain meats like ground beef, turkey, etc are supposed to be safe from a gluten standpoint. As for cheese, there a few which can contain gluten, such as blue cheese, but I'm...
  25. RiceGuy
    Hello, and welcome to the board! First, I can relate to the eye tearing thing (and some of the other symptoms you describe), and for me it was an intestinal yeast issue. However, since I addressed it by avoiding all forms of yeasts (and sugar), I was therefor consuming less gluten. I would not find out about gluten for some time to follow, but many things...
