    I haven't made tuna mornay, nor do I know what it is, but if the flour is just to thicken it, then corn starch or arrowroot starch should work. In fact, these always work far better than flour for making gravies, stews, etc. I never use flour to thicken stuff. Tapioca works good for some things too, but its properties are different, so it's not a suitable...

    You could make your own fries, so you'd know for certain. The Ore-Ida site has a Open Original Shared Link, in which they specify the safe fries.

    One additional thing to look into is your intake of iodine. That can make the rash worse, so you may want to use a non-iodized salt. Kelp is loaded with iodine, so I'd avoid that one for sure. Many vegetables have sufficient iodine for your body to work with, so as long as you get enough from your foods, you can avoid the additional amount, and hopefully...

    Well, seems to me that if you eat gluten again and started losing weight, that could be one indicator for you. The thing is, you may be at a very early stage of damage, so symptoms might not appear much if at all from eating gluten. I didn't recognize my symptoms until a high amount of damage had already occurred. I'd really recommend proceeding cautiously...

    dagreen: You mention that you get sick from corn, rice, etc. What kinds of these things have you tried? There are many different varieties of rice, and at least a bunch of common varieties of corn. If you buy pre-packaged rice - like the ones with seasoning/flavor packets, that could easily be a problem. Not only because of hidden gluten, but MSG and other...

    The best deodorants I know of are actually creams that you apply at night and wash off in the morning. I've only seen two brands like this. They work because the bacteria that causes the odor doesn't grow back for a week or two, depending on physical activity and such. So you don't actually have anything on your skin but no odor for several days. This means...

    I also have been intolerant to heat, and still am to some degree (pun intended). I would develop a severe migraine-type of headache, and be very dizzy, body trembling, turn white, and feeling about to faint at any moment. If it got bad enough I'd puke too. This would begin at around 75F if I was sitting still in the shade. Any physical activity required a...

    Lots of good advice from the members here as usual. I used to suffer from frequent debilitating migraines. What I did to eliminate them was to remove all forms of yeast and processed sugars. I really never ate much sugars, so no biggie there, but it does help to get yeast such as candida under control. I also took caprylic acid for a little while, which...

    I've never eaten sushi, but I use "sushi" rice for making rice pudding. It gets sticky all by itself when it's cooked, and I'm referring to the ordinary, actual plain rice - not any sort of pre-packaged product. It's the same thing as "glutenous" rice, "sticky" rice, etc, as far as I know. The rice by itself is gluten-free or course, though as has been pointed...

    I don't eat meat, or any animal products for that mater. I don't ever crave it either, so I am going to guess that it's because I eat enough proteins, fats, and whatever else I would be getting from meat. I did used to eat it, but with every occasion found it to taste even worse than the last, and I also noticed it would make me feel a bit less than healthy...

    ARCHIVED Mercury!

    RiceGuy replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    From what I've read, apple pectin is a good detoxifier of heavy metals. I don't know how many apples you'd have to eat, nor for how long, but I know apple pectin can be purchased at various health food stores and online too of course. Whether that is as good as eating apples is another matter. I've not investigated it.

    Sea salt can be iodized, but that is done when the salt is kiln-dried. This is because the high temperature of the kiln destroys the naturally occurring iodine, so an equivalent amount is typically added to compensate. The lack of iodine was discovered as the cause of a goiter epidemic around the late 1800's. Sun-dried sea salt retains the iodine it already...

    Personally, I am already convinced that what you are experiencing is DH. Most of the few I have had didn't show much if any fluid blister on them. I also noticed that salt seemed to make it worse. My research led me to conclude that it is the iodine in the salt which increases the appearance of the rash, because the body apparently uses iodine when healing...

    Two thing I found had contributed to this type of symptom for me. One was nightshade foods, and the other seems to have been a bit of a lack in B12. The way I understand it, the more permeable gut lets the alkalies in nightshades get into the bloodstream in higher amounts than it otherwise would, and the weakened digestive ability means we tend to get less...

    I have found garlic and to some degree onion to be helpful in fighting a cold/flu bug. Some good ways to get garlic down in generous amounts is mashing it with a margarine/spread/mayo etc, and spread it on toast/bagel/muffin etc (gluten-free of course). I find that if the toast is crispy enough to scratch your throat a bit on the way down it can help more...

    ARCHIVED Indigestion

    RiceGuy replied to draeko's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Well, I think you'll get better responses if you describe how you feel rather than picking an ailment and asking what the symptoms are. That said, indigestion is when food is not being digested, so this can mean heartburn, upset stomach, slowed progression of food through your system, etc.

    I suppose it might have gotten in the burger if someone got a finger to close to a blade somewhere along the process. It could be difficult to point a finger at someone (pun intended), since it may have been at the meat processing plant, wherever other ingredients (such as fillers) are added or where the patties are made, etc. I have no idea how many different...

    I hadn't really thought of it until now, but long before I went gluten-free, I would notice the breath of someone who recently ate wheat. It smelled awful, and turned my stomach. Though I knew what it was from, it had not occurred to me that I might be sensitive to it for good reason. Rather, I concluded that it was the other person who had some sort of digestive...

    I have found it helpful to work with my body's natural cycles, rather than try to force it into one which happens to suit my idea of a convenient schedule. I also know that eating too late messes my system up for awhile, and it can be somewhat painful.

    I was just thinking about this yesterday. I'm picturing the ideal deice would be like a Star Trek Tricorder, and you'd just wave it over a food/substance and it detects the presence of gluten. If there is a "gluten frequency", I'd start on it asap. Something tells me there could be a resonant electromagnetic frequency to the protein fraction, but since it...

    Though I haven't tried to make any, since they don't need to rise, I'd have to believe it would be easier to make than a soft, fluffy bread. Somewhere between a crepe and a pancake w/out the baking powder should work I think. A Google search turns up suggestions for chestnut or garbanzo flour. Most gluten-free recipes seem to just be using ready-made corn...

    ARCHIVED Blisters

    RiceGuy replied to wowzer's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Could someone please explain what sort these blisters are, where they appear, what the cause is, etc? This is the first thread I recall seeing about such a thing, and all the responses thus far seem to suggest it is common. To my knowledge I have not had this symptom. Is this about the DH rash?
  23. RiceGuy
    I would also echo the idea of just implementing it. Your children do seem very young for you to be concerned about a rebellion. For instance, you can easily use Tinkyada pasta to make shells & cheese, or elbows, spaghetti, etc. I think they even offer lasagna noodles. I'd venture to say the average person, child or adult would not be able to discern anything...

    Bread sticks, pretzels, celery/carrot sticks, or basically anything that can be dipped, topped, or spread with butters (including nut butters), cheeses, jams, sauces, etc. Apples w/peanut butter for example. Baked apples/pears. Cottage cheese with applesauce or fruits. Crackers or flat-breads topped with nearly anything that fits.
