Hello, I advice everyone not to go on the gluten-free diet untill he/she is 100% sure he/she is a celiac... My doc's hypothesis was that I was a celiac, and after wasting about 1 whole yr of my life having to cope with such a diet, I made a food intolerence test which showed that I had no sensitivity towards the gluten; instead; milk, garlic and yeast...

I have tried alot of companies and also tried different ways of cooking spagetti... Some companies ask for no adding of oil!! But I once tried it and ended up to be all mixed up, sticky and I had to throw it away! But even if I added oil I still need to change its water 2-3 times (because of the starch in it)! And ofcourse, whenever I add water to it, it...

ARCHIVED All Rice Flour Mix
azza replied to Connie R-E's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Connie, So, can I use that mix (of any 3 different kinds of rice flour) in any recipe for cookies or bread making? It is good since I don't need to use xanthan gum nor tapoica flour (because they are N/A here!) And Martha, Can you give me the recipe of the cookies you mentioned that they were good? -

ARCHIVED Quaker Rice Cakes
azza replied to angel-jd1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello, While I was shopping I came up to one of the products that are in the diet section. It was "Quaker Rice Cakes" and "Quaker Corn Cakes".. As I read through the ingredients I found nothing that indicates that it is gluten-free, although it did not say so... I visited their website to ask them about the product, and only people in Canada... -
Well, as for me, I get hives whenever I have some gluten intake (along with other symptoms)... I get a rash all over my body, I thought that it is another symptom of celiac disease. I also have some 2-3 days lasting intestinal problems. One of my relatives in Germany has the same problem ... "Hives" and most probably from Gluten intake... Thanks Anyways...
