    Well, I'm leaning towards the dish water. Spices can contain gluten though, and some brands of nuts may be processed in a facility that also processes wheat, or can actually contain wheat. Nuts in the shell would probably be the safest bet. Also, additional food sensitivities can also show up after going gluten-free, so do watch for that too.

    Wow, sorry that you're having such a rough time. Be assured however, that many of us go through all sorts of stuff as a result of Celiac. To address your questions: 1. When you stop the diet is it always that bad of a reaction? Firstly, I don't know what you've been told, but you can't ever stop the diet. Once gluten intolerant, always gluten intolerant...

    Here's a recipe for millet muffins: Millet Muffins (From Arrowhead Mills) 1-1/2 cups Millet flour 1/2 cup soy flour 1 Tablespoon baking powder (non-aluminum) 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) 1/4 teaspoon orange flavoring 1 cup water or orange juice 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cups brown rice syrup or honey (or substitute Stevia) Combine all dry ingredients...

    Millet is one of my favorite grains. I think tofu goes very well with it. IMO it can be flavored easily since it doesn't have a strong flavor of its own. Millet takes about 20-30 mins to cook (I like it mushy, so tend to let it cook a bit more than that). It can be used like a cereal, and I have found that when mixed with Kasha, resembles the taste and texture...

    Thank you so very much. I feel like shouting from a rooftop!

    I wonder if the top of a refrigerator is warm enough to do this job? Maybe the oven can be put on really really low?

    Apparently, some Celiacs can eat oats, while others cannot. Many choose not to attempt it because of the Cross-Contamination issues. From what I understand, CC is a problem when oats are milled or otherwise process in the same facilities as wheat, barley, and/or rye, or on the same equipment as those grains. I don't know if I can eat oats without problems...

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

    I guess my only comments would be that from what I've read, goiter is caused by an iodine deficiency, and synthroid apparently doesn't work so well. I think there's something called "Armour" (or something like that), which is supposed to be more effective. I'm sure there's much more out there on these subject than I've come across though. Perhaps others will...

    I've seen recipes for buckwheat pancakes (it's not even a grain really), though I have not tried them. Besides the sorghum already mentioned, there's millet flour, and tapioca flour may work in combination with these or other flours. I'm sure there are other which may work well too. Something else which make for great road snacks are muffins. The same...

    Well, I was having serious motor nerve troubles for quite awhile, until I started taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) and a magnesium supplement. This combination worked wonders. I only wish I had started them much earlier. I haven't gone to any doctors for any diagnosis whatsoever, as I lost all trust in docs long ago. I'd have to guess...

    Sometimes that happens. I have found that reloading the page and trying again usually works.

    As I see it, constant hunger means your body NEEDS something. The total amount of food may satisfy the stomach, but the body will still be deficient in nutrients if you aren't absorbing them well enough, or if the food isn't of sufficient nutritional value. Simply suppressing this appetite is like putting masking tape over the gas gage on your car - you can...

    The fact is, if the flour doesn't contain gluten, it won't be elastic, thus won't work any better than gluten-free flours do without guar/xanthan gum.

    I've been using Arrowhead Mills corn meal without any problems, but that's not to say there isn't some trace amount of something present. It's organic (non-GMO), which is what I need for corn products. Perhaps there website has some info, or you can email them. I haven't looked, and the bag doesn't say anything about being processed with other stuff.

    Sounds to me like a crepe I doubt the exact flour mix matters all that much. A gluten-free all-purpose, or pancake mix seems like it would be just fine. Not sure if you'd need a gum in with it, but I'm guessing you would.

    On the positive side, it's reinforcement. It will help solidify your resolve never to do it again. Sometimes we need such things to remind us why we need to refrain. You'll get there!

    One thing which shouldn't be overlooked is nutrient deficiencies. Chocolate has a fair amount of magnesium, as well as potassium and other things. Almonds do also, and it is common for Celiacs to have a magnesium deficiency. Seems to me if a craving is because of deficiency, it would be for something the body is familiar with, not necessarily the best source...

    I've seen many posts about premixing the flours in a large amount. It should work just as well as a freshly mixed batch, as long as the flours don't spoil. So if you have bean flours in the mix, or if you expect it to last awhile, it's probably a good idea to refrigerate or freeze it. Thing is, if you open a container of really cold flour, it is likely to...

    I'd think the ones by Mary's Gone Crackers should be fairly respectable for nutrient value. The ones I tried where yummy too.

    As I understand it, the glue used to hold the paper to the cardboard tube is the only gluten issue.

    I used to get what you describe, but not anymore. I do have a similar thing happen when I first wake up, and try to move too soon. It's not quite the same feeling though, so I don't know if it relates at all. My guess would be that your digestive system gets overwhelmed, which I do know can make a person very drowsy. I've read the digestive system in high...

    I have noticed something similar with nuts. I couldn't stand the taste of most of them. Peanut butter I LIVED off of, but tree nuts...ugh! Now however, I actually like tree nuts. Not like peanuts mind you, but still I can eat them, and I really like making nut milk with them, especially for use in milk shakes and smoothies. Chocolate I never cared for...

    As I understand it, Celiac can sorta sneak up on you. So you might not have noticeable symptoms now, but continuing to eat gluten could lead to it going full-throttle. The problem with dairy is common as I'm sure you know. What matters is not just how you feel, but how your body does on the inside. If gluten causes the autoimmune response in you as it does...

    Bob's Red Mill has coconut flour, and you can buy it directly on their site too.

    Sounds to me like it just didn't rise enough before baking. Keep trying, and I'm sure you'll get good results. While I can't eat yeast breads (hence don't make them), I know the water temp has to be right, and the dough has to sit undisturbed (in a proper environment) for awhile to allow the yeast to do its thing. I recall something about putting the yeast...
