    Just went to google "besan" and this is what I found...I'd never heard of it before either... Gram flour, not to be confused with Graham flour, is a type of flour made from pulverized chickpeas. It is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine. It is also known as chana flour, besan, chickpea flour and garbanzo flour. Gram flour contains carbohydrates and...

    Our three favorite weekday breakfasts are Erewon crispy brown rice and berries cereal, envirokids amazon flakes cereal and homemade smoothies - any kind of frozen fruit, about 1/2 cup of rice milk and a cup of any flavor soy yogurt. For weekends, we often make pancakes (with chocolate chips of course!).

    Just went to Red Robin on Sunday for the first time because of the fries. We checked with the manager (they have two dedicated fryers just for the fries) and the fries WERE on the gluten free menu. Perhaps it varies by restaurant? (we are in MA)

    If he's healthy, I would do nothing. Upwards of 50% of this country's population carries the gene for celiac disease - many will never actually develop the disease. Just because you carry the gene for celiac does not mean that you have the disease. Gene testing can rule out a diagnosis of celiac but cannot rule one in.

    A full celiac panel from Quest consists of the three tests you had done. Only if those three tests are positive, do they run the other two. You could also try genetic testing. We had ours done through Prometheus and insurance did cover it (although it had to be preapproved). Remember, though, genetic testing cannot tell you whether you have Celiac - it can...

    Hi - Where in Mass are you? It's sounds like a very celiac friendly area of the state.

    ARCHIVED Childrens Hospital Boston

    momandgirls replied to NewGFMom's topic in Doctors

    We go to Children's - they were the ones to diagnose my daughter. I like her GI and I like the program and I love Children's Hospital (my daughter sees several specialists there, not just GI) but I highly doubt you'll find one of the GIs who won't want you to do a biopsy. What I really wanted to tell you is that Children's has a great support group. I've...

    We have the Zojirushi and love it. Makes fantastic bread every time and it's so incredibly easy to use. I put in the ingredients (wet first, dry on top and then pour in the yeast), plug it in and push one button. Delicious bread in 3 hours and 20 minutes (and if you can't get to it right away, it stays warm for hours and is still wonderful). I got mine from...

    Hi - Thank you to those who have already responded. Yes, I'm looking specifically for items that are not inherintely gluten free. Normally, I bring lots of food with us. However, I forgot pasta and I spent half a day driving around looking for a store that carried gluten free pasta. That's how this whole thing came up. They don't have a lot of space but they...

    what is your favorite brand of mac and cheese? Thanks!

    I've been asked to help a new england resort become more gluten free friendly and I'd like your help. They would like to carry some gluten free items in their on site (small) country store. Bear in mind that, if you're staying in this resort, you have access to a kitchen in your condo. There are a couple of natural food type stores within about a 10 minute...

    Yes, it's on the gluten free list and my daughter tried it just a few days ago. She said it was good.

    We're having a little birthday party for my daughter. The cake needs to be gluten and dairy free for my daughter and sugar free for one of her friends whose diabetic. Do any great tasting recipes exist that meet all these requirements? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    There is no gluten on latex gloves. My girls and I have all been the dentist very recently. There was nothing with gluten. Both dentists were knowledgeable and already knew that everything they use was gluten free. I don't think there's anything to be concerned about.

    According to the Bob's Red Mill representative on the phone, they have two separate facilities - one manufactures gluten free products exclusively and the other plant handles everything else they make. We've never had problems with any of their products (we've used the bread mix and the flour mix). I recently bought the gluten free cornbread mix (says on...

    We coat the chicken in rice milk and then in mashed potato flakes. Yum!

    My youngest is dairy and gluten free and also vegetarian. I make a lot of soups - black bean, cannelini bean, vegetable, etc. How about chili? Beans and rice? Eggplant parmagian with soy cheese? I just found a recipe for broccoli soup the other day and the girls loved it. We like the Kinnickinnick pizza crusts and use soy cheese. We make our own bread - we...

    ARCHIVED Bk Fries

    momandgirls replied to pnltbox27's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    The website and nutritional info in the restaurants do, indeed, state that the fries are gluten free and are made in dedicated fryers. On two different occasions, in two different restaurants in two different states, I still spoke to the managers who were honest enough to tell me that, despite what the website and nutritional info state, they get busy and...

    If you know the lab that performed the blood test (not where the blood was drawn but the lab that actually read the blood), you might be able to go the lab website and the ranges may be listed. We've had blood work done at various labs and the ranges are different. Maybe you can call the doctor and have him/her fax or send you the results? The normal ranges...

    How do you make pizza crust with the Pamela's mix?

    Yes, cool whip is ok.

    200 to 1500 is the normal Vitamin B12 range.

    Here's the recipe I use for meringues. I made a double batch two days ago and they're already gone! 2 egg whites 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup chocolate chips (optional - we use Tropical Source) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With electric beater, beat egg whites until peaks form. Add in sugar slowly. Add vanilla and salt. Continue...

    We've all been where you are. My daughter isn't much older than yours, diagnosed a year ago and I remember feeling exactly like you - totally overwhelmed even though I knew the possibility was pretty high that she'd be positive for Celiac. The best way to start is just to start. Like you, most of what I made was naturally gluten free and that was a big help...

    Try www.lakechamplainchocolates.com One of my daughters is gluten and dairy free and the other is dairy free. I went into the store (VT) and they were very helpful. They had a book in the store that listed every ingredient in everything they sell. She could tell me exactly which chocolates were dairy and gluten free. I bought several things for my girls...
