    Interesting, as I just paid $2.69 for a pound of the spaghetti one. Many of the other shapes don't even have a whole pound, but come in 12 or 14 oz bags . Also, the Bionaturae pasta is apparently NOT made in a gluten-free dedicated facility, but they also make wheat products, so I'm not so excited about that. Being imported, I'm sure the price is higher...

    I'd think that the applesauce would add a bit of an unexpected flavor to a bread that isn't a sweet bread like banana bread, blueberry muffins, or carrot cake. Just taking a guess I would probably try a small amount of soy flour.

    Not all that long ago I posted some links to gluten-free crepe recipes, in a thread about flour tortillas if I recall correctly. I'm sure a board search would turn it up. Anyway, I don't see why a crepe recipe couldn't be modified slightly and be useful for your purposes.

    Though I don't need a skin moisturizer, I do know that coconut oil makes about the best moisturizer I've ever come across. You can put it to the test without buying a whole jar though. Open Original Shared Link offers a sample that would certainly last plenty long enough to see how well it does. It only takes a drop or two. Not only does it moisturize, but...

    A heartfelt and warm welcome from myself also srokie! Glad we can all start over (wish we could start over with our bodies before gluten ruined them!)

    There are plenty of nutritious, delicious ways to get adequate gluten-free fiber in your diet. As mentioned, brown rices are a good source. If you don't like what you've tried for brown rice, be sure not to overlook all the varieties. There are many, and I found that although the typical long grain brown turns my stomach, I really enjoy the short grain brown...

    I just looked up their web site: Open Original Shared Link Seems they use potato and soy in it too. I can't eat nightshades right now, and thankfully I'm quite happy with Tinkyada anyway (except maybe the price).

    I recall hearing about bottled water being chlorinated or something, as that would help cut down on bacteria and whatnot. I've no idea if that would apply to all brands, and include spring water. One would hope it'd be on the label, but these days I wouldn't take it for granted. If it's actually bottled tap water, then I'd say the chances of something having...

    Thanks for the tip! As for Tinkyada, I'd have to guess it was overcooked, as I have found it to be very good. In fact, better than even the best durum semolina pastas I've had. From my experience, wheat pastas tend to get mushy quite soon after they are al dente, while the Tinkyada pastas hold up far longer. The cooking is slightly different though, so...

    Well, if the ingredients just say sweet potato or yam, then I'd hope they are gluten-free. Apparently many canned sweet potatoes in the USA are labeled as yams. Anyway, here's an article which may or may not help: Open Original Shared Link

    As has been said, everyone is different. Since your child is young, I'd have to guess that the healing would be faster, as there is likely less damage. That's not a definite though. The B12 is a good idea, and besides, it can't hurt to try it. There are liquid sublingual ones available, but I don't recall any of the methylcobalamin type. That is the most...

    From what I've read, iodine isn't the cause of the blisters, but can make them occur more frequently and/or more severely. This is apparently because the immune system uses iodine to aid in healing the skin, and I guess that's why nurses would put iodine on scrapes and cuts, etc. The body requires iodine, and you should be obtaining it from food if you eat...

    I agree with darlindeb25. Besides, think of it this way; If the test comes back negative, would you go back to eating gluten and feeling sick, even though you already know that you can feel better without it? I didn't bother with "official" tests either. To me, the diet is proof positive. Lots of people feel more comfortable seeing it in print though....

    After researching the cleansing products on the market, I have reached the conclusion that they are mostly a scam. What they do is fairly tricky for the uninformed to catch onto. Basically, they actually include the stuff people expel, only it's typically in powdered form at the time you take it. This is one reason why they usually make it clear to the user...

    I second the possibility of candida. Your description of symptoms are very very familiar to me as well! I had a terrible time until I finally figured it out, and eliminated all yeasts and sugars. I also took Caprylic acid for awhile, which really seemed to speed up the recovery. It was like the fog had lifted, and I had a whole new body. So tremendous, I...

    Well, firstly, your diet is currently over-limited. You will definitely not feel well on it. You cannot slowly add things one at a time from this point without feeling terrible for awhile, until you're getting a more complete set of nutrients. Plainly and simply; You need veggies - Eat them. Don't fill up on stuff right away though. Your body is out of wack...

    To me it sounds like a nutritional deficiency, no matter how test results may seem. Some types of anemia can cause darkening under the eyes, and it's not always due to iron. Many nutrients can be deficient in Celiacs because of the impaired digestion. Some that come to mind in relation to the symptoms you describe are magnesium, vitamin B12, and iron,...

    Not in them, just used to cook them. I wasn't the cook either. I did notice a difference with different oils, but still the smell and/or taste wasn't good. Nobody else noticed. Like I said, I can detect the breakdown early on.
  19. RiceGuy
    Quite correct, though there is actually no such thing as "extra virgin" for coconut oil. The best kind is centrifuged coconut oil, with no chemicals, heat, bleaching, or any of the other things which make the cheap coconut oils so far from the best. Those cheap ones are known as RBD coconut oil, which is Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized. Sounds more like...

    Though I've not tried, my impression is that the end results wouldn't be very palatable without some other flours, especially tapioca. If you can use garbanzo, fava, or soy flour, one or more of these might help too. If you find you react to many grains in general, one of those or some other bean flours may not be a problem. There's also potato flour, and...

    Well, I'm sure your diet includes more than just the chicken and the rice. You do eat veggies, yes? I get a sinus reaction from some varieties of corn, in particular the ones labels as sweet corn. The extra sweet ones are noticeably worse. There are a lot of things that can cause the sort of allergic reaction you have, so if you can list more of the things...

    It works fine with water instead of milk. That's actually what I'd usually use (now always since dairy is a no-no), but I know what others are typically expecting. You could probably use unsweetened soy milk, rice milk, non-dairy cheese, etc. Maybe even a vegetable oil and some soy lecithin, though I've not tested this yet (planning to soon though). Open...

    The main problem I see is the lack of either guar or xanthan gum. These are pretty much always required in a recipe that normally uses wheat flour. White rice flour would help make a lighter texture than the brown, and of course tapioca flour does well for lightness. I'm not sure if potato flour would help give the sort of texture you're looking for, but...

    I agree with Ursa Major on the coconut oil. It would be a far better choice - perhaps the best, though I'm sure there are other opinions on that. Since you don't like coconut, perhaps palm kernel oil would be more to your liking. It is similar to coconut oil in some key ways (though not quite as good), and I've read it has a very light taste. I have not...

    Thanks, that's good to note, but what I meant is to make the white sauce, not use any pre-packaged stuff. I guess I should have clarified. I make everything from scratch, so I don't even know if white sauce is on the typical supermarket shelf. Heck, I never even looked up a white sauce recipe before - I just throw stuff together and let it go at that. I'm...
