    ARCHIVED At A Loss

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

    I'm sure there are differences between the whole grains and the processed stuff. I've been enjoying all sort of whole grains for some time now, so rice isn't nearly as much a part of my diet these days. Plus all these other grains cook faster, so it helps that way too. Buckwheat, millet, amaranth, and t'eff are quite nutritious, not to mention tasty!

    ARCHIVED At A Loss

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

    I hope the rice you eat is whole grain. White rice isn't nearly as nutritious. Anyway, I had debilitating muscle and joint pain until I began taking magnesium. It's like a miracle for me, so I'd absolutely recommend that first and foremost. Another very good thing has been a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12). Both these nutrients have very important functions...

    I see. Well, I would agree it can be accurate for foods that are made in the traditional manner, but gluten-free foods have a tendency to be very different from one recipe to another. For instance, when I make a cake, I use no dairy, eggs, or sugar. One tsp of Stevia is a lot lighter than a cup of sugar, so that alone would change everything. Not to mention...

    Well, if you're one of those who can handle canola (many Celiacs can't), there's Open Original Shared Link. They have a stick margarine which is trans fat free, no hydrogenation, dairy free, and gluten-free. They use olive and canola oils. There's an unsalted one from Fleischmann's, which if memory serves, uses corn oil, but it has trans fat.

    For someone on the road so much, I'd recommend one of those portable mini electric coolers. Basically a little refrigerator that runs on 12V from the lighter socket in the dashboard. Then you can keep all sorts of stuff, no need to refill with ice all the time, and no CC risks. Seems to me it would be much easier to truthfully say you aren't hungry or that...

    gluten-free foods of any kind won't mess up the tests as long as you are still eating typical amounts of the gluten filled stuff. Most foods are naturally gluten-free anyway. As for recommendations, there are many opinions on what gluten-free breads are best. As you already seem to expect, it's probably a good idea to experiment. Some like what others...

    I have never had a reaction (that I know of) to any of the flours from Barry Farm. I don't recall if I've tried their rice flours, as I found some time ago that rice flour, especially the brown, is gritty compared to all others I've tried. I'd recommend millet or sorghum in place of rice flour, even if it is labeled organic and gluten-free. One pleasant...

    As others have stated, DH can take some time to subside. However, from what I've read, it never actually goes away completely. That is, occasional flareups can still occur.
  9. RiceGuy
    For all sorts of flours, my first stop is always here: www.barryfarm.com Since I make all my food from scratch, I can't help you with mixes. I do wish I could get organic veggies at a decent price though.
  10. RiceGuy
    Well, I don't have a specific answer, but what I'd do is compare the percentage of carbs in wheat-based cake flour with the flours in the blend you used. I have some data on gluten-free flours, so if you know the blend, I may be able to do some rough calculations. I don't see how weight alone could be accurate, especially since the recipe can vary so much...

    I think I read something about sugar alcohols causing D in large enough amounts. If memory serves it was on Wikipedia. However, that may not be the cause of your child's symptoms. One other thing is that I believe some companies use corn to grow the microbes which produce xanthan gum. So if your child is sensitive enough to corn, maybe that has something...

    I wouldn't be surprised if the hole in the ear drum didn't heal up. Apparently that can happen from what I've read. But I bet your doctor didn't recommend garlic. I did a Google for ear infections and Garlic is suggested all over the place as a cure. Here's something to check: http://www.myhomeremedies.com/topic.cgi?topicid=74 That's all I can offer...

    Doesn't Clabber Girl baking powder have aluminum?
  14. RiceGuy
    Yeah, it really does work great. I just made a muffin tonight, and it rose like never before! Truly light and fluffy. If it had been Rumford, it would have either not risen, or there'd be a big air pocket inside, with goo at the bottom. I'm already finding that my recipes work like they should. I don't have to overcompensate, or rush to get it mixed and...

    I suppose you could add a bunch of the granules to something, like a smoothie. But I wonder if there might be a difference in any reaction between the GMO and non-GMO variety.
  16. RiceGuy
    It sounds like you are experiencing what many on this board call "brain fog". It can be quite disorienting, frustrating, etc. I and many others have found various supplements can work wonders in many ways. I cannot begin to explain how valuable magnesium has been for me, and a sublingual B12 too. Also many report feeling much better with a B-complex and...
  17. RiceGuy
    Yes, Bob's is non-aluminum too! Thanks, I forgot to mention that.

    Before I attempted making a loaf, I experimented with small amounts of dough, so as to not waste ingredients. I found muffins, biscuits, cookies, etc to be easier to get right. I don't use high starch ingredients, so I suppose the things I make turn out different than what most on this board seem to be doing. I never did like "white bread", so that probably...
  19. RiceGuy
    Sure, there might be other intolerances, like dairy for instance. However, from my experience I'd suggest magnesium, and a sublingual B12 supplement. These two turned out to be what I'd call miraculous. I'd also suggest avoiding nightshades, as the toxin they have does impede motor nerves.
  20. RiceGuy
    Hi all. I recently found it practically impossible to get quick-breads, biscuits, etc to rise properly, as discussed in Open Original Shared Link. Though the company insists they didn't change the formula for their baking powder, it's the only thing I can figure might have changed. And while Rumford's didn't ever work as well as I had wished, it sure beat...

    ARCHIVED Headaches

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

    There are a few nutrient deficiencies which are known to cause headaches. If you Google "migraines nutrients" (without the quotes) I'm sure it will turn up plenty for you to read and consider. I seem to recall magnesium deficiency is known to cause migraines, and many Celiacs are deficient in magnesium. Also, you mentioned being off refined sugar. I hope...
  22. RiceGuy
    Well, I'd tend to agree that diving right in to trying a whole loaf might lead to disappointment. If you have a muffin pan, maybe make just enough dough for that, or even just one muffin-sized 'loaf'. This would also help save money while you get the recipe right. As for what flours can sub for what;given the ones you have it might not work so well. Sorghum...

    I had noticed a difference between wheat and rye, but not sure about different wheat foods. Maybe it has something to do with other ingredients? Like cereal would likely have sugar, and if the intestines are in distress from gluten, maybe the sugar goes right through into the bloodstream or something. Just a stab in the dark...
  24. RiceGuy
    Sorry for the late response. Though fructose is a sugar, it is not quite as simple a sugar as sucrose (table sugar). It will feed yeast, just as fruit would I suppose. Also, since it is chewable, you may not get the same benefit from it as with a sublingual. Depending on the candida trouble you have, the fructose might interfere a little, though I don't imagine...
  25. RiceGuy
    Have you eliminated other possible allergens, such as dairy, soy, corn, etc? I've also read that meat is a common allergen. Other than that, what about supplements? Even after gluten-free, I was only getting worse until I started some supplements. I'm sure others will chime in with some good suggestions. HTH
