    Can't you order sorghum flour online? Anyway there are a lot of other flours but I haven't looked for a match in this case. I'd guess you'd want to look at the fiber, carbs and protein content, and see what is close to it. Of course the taste/texture it imparts will matter, but that's probably more subject to preference. Here are some gluten-free flours...

    ARCHIVED Hummus?

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

    Well, it may be, but from what I've read hummus ingredients differ from brand to brand. Which brand is it? Post the ingredients if you want.

    Interestingly, prunes can help you loose weight. Here's some good info to explain why: Open Original Shared Link That site has lots of valuable info, and I use it quite a lot.

    I can relate to this issue. For me it turned out to be nightshades, as odd as that may sound. Took me a long long time to figure it out too But the muscle/joint pains, and the twitching and spasms that accompanied the C were a nightmare I never want to see again. I also eat a lot of veggies, and I do think I may be getting too much fiber sometimes...

    Absolutely, it can make you sick to touch a gluten-filled product like that and not thoroughly wash your hands afterward. And you're not paranoid either. I'd suggest not touching stuff like that at all, but if ever it must happen I'd be washing my hands as immediately as possible, and without touching anything else I expect to touch at a future time. I see...

    Be sure to get plenty of vitamin C with your iron, as it can increase the absorption up to 6 times. At least it does for the kind of iron in veggies, but the supplement is likely the other kind - I don't know if the body prefers one over the other, or if that is even considered by the health experts at all anyway. I'm with you on the potatoes, as they are...

    The deficiencies will vary from person to person, but it seems all of us need to get more of something or other in order to keep from having even more problems. That's the nature of a compromised gut. I doubt anyone can tell you which nutrients you lack without a ton of tests, and even then I doubt it would be entirely accurate. Your doctor shouldn't say...

    If you can't have peanuts, have you tried Open Original Shared Link? It's supposed to be good, and they have a recipe on the site for the cookies. Hope I never have to find out though - I love peanut butter.

    I had something similar, along with joint pains/weakness, and even spasms until somewhat recently. I found out it was caused by nightshades. It's taking awhile, but I usually don't have that problem now. I'm sure it's different for everybody though. One thign I know is that the toxins in nightshades are bad for everyone, just that most people don't notice...

    I agree with much of what has been said thus far, if not all. I am basically vegetarian, and though it doesn't seem to work for many, I do feel better for it from what I can tell. That's not to say you can too though, as others have indicated. You already mentioned that you eat nuts and eggs for protein, and that's good. A quarter-cup of almonds actually...

    I just found a nice article about various roots. It describes their tastes and gives some cooking ideas too: Open Original Shared Link
  12. RiceGuy
    Mine are completely gone! Though for me it was largely due to yeast. If your gluten-free diet contains specialty/prepared foods, you might want to watch out for yeast and/or MSG. The latter is often imparted into such foods by way of a yeast ingredient. They do this purposely so they don't have to say MSG on the label. Here's some info for you to consider...

    TMJ seems to run in my family - hmmm...another common trait of gluten intolerance?
  14. RiceGuy
    Yeah I was thinking about cassava, though the texture seems too different to make it convincing. I'd guess the chips would turn out less crispy, but I could be wrong. I just know cassava from tapioca pudding, which is sorta like gelatin in consistency. The dasheen would be gluten-free from what I have read. Only wheat grasses would actually have the true...

    That's an interesting idea. Never thought of it. Usually I eat cauliflower as close to raw as I can. It does get mushy quickly, though what seasoning would make it more "potatoey"? Taro might be the proper term, but it seems it may be more commonly called "dasheen". Anyway, the neat thing about it is that the starch is the same type as in the ordinary...

    I was looking up something and ran into a reference to a root vegetable that seems a lot like a potato, only it isn't from the nightshade family. It's called "Corm". The description makes it sound like it would taste similar to potato, only somewhat sweeter. Might this be a good alternative to the common potato? I'm thinking it is! That would be so great...

    It took six months of being totally gluten-free before I noticed any improvement. Before that I was trying to narrow down the culprits, so I'd be eliminating only one suspect/wheat source at a time. Eventually I put two and two together - thank goodness. Once off ALL gluten, things began to change. All sorts of weird stuff started, and that went on for months...

    I ran into this interesting article about a diet which is claimed to be effective on a number of gut related diseases. Seems to be gluten-free too, which is no surprise to me. It does however appear even more restrictive than just gluten-free, as it says no grains at all - not even rice or millet! Open Original Shared Link Anyone already following a...

    I'd never do that since nutrient absorption is already troublesome. Without proper, complete nutrients each day I pay for it. And one of the first things is a slowdown of the gut. So in my case there'd be nothing cleansing about it.
  20. RiceGuy
    Interesting. I had not given it much if any thought, but I've been grinding my teeth for years - 24/7 too. But now that I've been gluten-free, and figuring out the other no-no's in my diet, it has noticeably lessened. If I eat the wrong stuff it begins to increase along with the other symptoms.

    ARCHIVED Omega 3

    RiceGuy replied to SandraB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Just thought I'd point out that there are a number of berries which are high in omega-3s. Sounds like a good excuse to pile on blueberries, blackberries, and others onto rice cereal, desserts, or just a yummy snack. I've always loved berry pies, turnovers, and even berry waffles/pancakes (now gluten-free of course). Frozen berries apparently work too, so...

    I ran into this interesting article, which indicates hope for those with a peanut allergy, and even a link to soy. Open Original Shared Link I got the impression that gluten intolerance fits into the picture someplace, though of course it apparently wasn't on their radar. But according to the article, a product to reduce peanut sensitivity could soon...

    Wow, that seems to be right on the spot! Nice work! I will have to read up on this, as I have been eating large portions ever since childhood. Never gained weight though. Not surprisingly many of my relatives also have this trait - but just mention a gluten-free diet and get looks that could kill. Now since being gluten-free it seems like wheat was...

    ARCHIVED Anyone Gone Raw?

    RiceGuy replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Oh? I never noticed fresh meat turning like that on the inside, but then I never kept it a week either! The suggestions I've heard are that even cooked meat shouldn't be kept more than four days. Fresh is like two days or something unless it's frozen, though it has been awhile since I have purchased or eaten any. I think I recall seeing some meat get forgotten...
  25. RiceGuy
    I doubt I can add a whole lot to what's already been said, but at least I can add my support. I also have family and relatives who think I'm totally nuts. I won't go into it, but they really tried to do some horrible stuff. Ironically, many of them are definitely showing Celiac symptoms too. I know they will NEVER accept it. I am still a target for their...
