    Don't know if you've tried buckwheat, but since it's not a grain (and not related to wheat), I figure I should mention it. I find teff to be really good in baking, and millet too, which is said to be one of the least allergenic grains on the planet. I think there should be other flours which your child can have without problems. Maybe you'll find some...

    What's really outrageous is that the price of gas in Saudi Arabia is less than a dollar per gallon! And in Venezuela, it's a mere 15 cents! Open Original Shared Link Pure price-gouging. Considering that cows produce methane, perhaps there's a better use for those automatic milking machines

    Don't know, but I've read apple cider vinegar can actually cure heartburn depending on the particular cause.

    About the constipation: I'd recommend a good magnesium supplement. I'm betting you'll find it much more beneficial than loading up on fiber. Especially if you already eat lots of veggies. In fact, you may have a magnesium deficiency, and like 70% of Americans, simply not know it. There may be other nutrients which your body is lacking too. Once you really...

    It is very common to feel the way you do at first, but over time it gets much easier. Especially when you feel so much better too! As for the cost of gluten-free foods, many on this board report a lower food bill, because wholesome foods like veggies, fruits, beans, unprocessed grains, etc are often less expensive than processed stuff. They are also much...

    Except gluten-free spaghetti Thou shalt not "borrow" a celiac's peanut butter, jelly, mayo, margarine, etc.

    Well, all I can add is that I think you're right about the B12 deficiency, since you mentioned the hair and skin problems. You can't overdose on B12, so I say go ahead.

    I've been toying with this idea, and am thinking it might work with the right gums and flour. I do know that anise is a primary part of the flavor too. So now I think I'll try a few things and post a recipe if I get something edible.

    Glass jars can work too, as long as the lids can form a complete seal, like canning jars. If stored in the freezer, always allow the container to warm up sufficiently before opening. Otherwise moisture will condense inside the container, causing spoilage. Most of the flours I buy come in sealed plastic bags, so I usually just put them into additional...

    Don't be surprised if you find your weight going up a bit. Malabsorption has a tendency to keep a celiac thin (though not for all of us). Also, I wonder if leaky gut issues could be responsible for blood sugar problems, as it seems to me sugars would more easily and quickly get into the bloodstream. Some have reported that their diabetic symptoms vanish once...

    A fair percentage of celiacs do not have outward symptoms, even though the intestinal damage is still occurring. Intense hunger is a common symptom, so I don't rule out a possible connection. I'd suggest trying a week or two completely gluten-free and see if it makes any difference, though some people find it takes months before noticing any change (it was...

    You can keep gluten-free flours in air-tight containers, though I'd not recommend metal ones, just because they usually don't seal well. That is unless the lids have some kind of rubber seal, and there are no seams in the metal. Also, if you intend to keep the flour for several months, it would probably be best to use freezer-safe plastic containers so you...

    Has anyone else ever had a "knot" suddenly form on one lip? Like a stiff part or a lump of some kind? They appear spontaneously, and go away in a few minutes, so I don't know what to make of it. Since going gluten-free they don't seem to occur very much, and in fact I may have only had it happen once or twice sine then. So I'm wondering if this is gluten...

    What comes to mind first, for helping eyesight, is a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). This specific form is perhaps the best available, and has been shown to benefit eyesight. I'm sure others will have some helpful comments regarding the rest of your questions. Welcome to the board!
  15. RiceGuy
    I suppose one way to do it might be in the form of "Ten Commandments". Like; Thou shalt not share utensils between gluten-free and non-gluten-free foods. Something tells me ten won't be enough though.

    There's a thread here on the forum about how much yeast to use. Here's a link: Open Original Shared Link
  17. RiceGuy
    It looks basically like a yeast bread, only instead of starting with the usual amount of yeast, it starts with less, and just allows more time for the yeast to multiply. So based on that I'd say it would probably work more or less the same as any gluten-free yeast bread recipe. Are you trying to cut your consumption of yeast, or just like the taste of...

    ARCHIVED Guar Gum?

    RiceGuy replied to HPDC's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    Guar gum is a soluble fiber derived from the guar bean. I'd have to guess it is most likely not the cause of your symptoms, but obviously I cannot rule it out. There are however, many gluten-free products which are subject to CC, not just with gluten, but nuts, dairy, etc. Check the label to see if it says "processed in a facility which also processes......
  19. RiceGuy
    Not to be discouraging, but... Although it can be very rewarding, and maybe even profitable, the comments about getting your facility approved is quite true. You can't simply start selling food items of any kind without first jumping through some hoops in order to make it legal. AFAIK, it doesn't matter whether you sell only locally, or whether you sell...

    Welcome to the board! For pain, stress, fatigue, sleep issues, and so much more, I always recommend magnesium, and a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) supplement. These two have done such wonders for me, and in sooo many ways, I'm still amazed by it. So glad you found the gluten-free diet works for you, and that you were able to adapt to it without...

    Well, I tried the test, and I think it was negative, thankfully. However, the spit didn't want to stay in the middle and gravitated to the side of the glass. I tried three times. So I'll try again tomorrow. Knowing how it feels to have candida, I don't believe that I have it now though. Looking at my regular diet, there seems to be plenty of anti-candida...

    The first thing that I'd suggest is a magnesium supplement. Many including myself find it to be very helpful for muscle/nerve pain issues, and so much more. Also, it would probably be a good idea to start taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) supplement, as it is also very important for nerve health, among other things. These two nutrients should also...

    In case you haven't already tried it, I'd recommend Open Original Shared Link for your sweetener. I like the pure powder, as there are no fillers or additives. Coconut flour is great for baking, so I'd suggest that too. It should help when making things without dairy.

    So glad you've found some ways to help your son, and that you've found this site! I'm sure you will have plenty of wonderful assistance from the many fine members here. Here's a good place to start for info on which foods are safe and which are not: https://www.celiac.com/categories/Safe-Glut...3B-Ingredients/ And for lots of gluten-free recipes: https...

    Fabulous! It is great to see logic and reason win.
