    I think the recipes are actually a bit different in the UK so the same rules don't apply.

    Here's the info from the third link I posted on how to find a real olive oil: Choosing Olive Oil? How can I be sure that the olive oil I buy really is what it is supposed to be? -- Connie Answer (Published 04/21/2006) Given the fact that a lot of the imported olive oil sold in the United States really isn't even olive oil or isn't...

    penguin replied to Lister's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Tiffany is right. The materials you have to worry about as far as not being able to get clean are wood, worn teflon, scratched plastic, and cast iron. Dishes, stainless steel pans, knives, silverware, ceramic bowls, mugs, and anything made of glass are easy to clean because they aren't porous.

    Yes, olive oil is gluten-free. It's not necessarily better than canola, it's just different. Canola is made from the rapeseed plant and is gluten-free and has no trans fats like soybean (vegetable) oil. Olive oil has flavor and some other stuff that's good for you, but it's not good for everything. Baking, for example, would be a bit gross with olive oil...

    I listed the Dr. Weil link on how to find actual olive oil on the thread y'all requested I start Real olive oil should have a seal of some kind from an organization.

    As requested, a whole thread about how your olive oil may not be olive oil at all. If it weren't for it being something Dr. Weil is concerned about, I would have assumed it was crap Open Original Shared Link Olive Oil Scam? I’ve heard that most of the olive oil sold in the United States isn’t really olive oil but something else passed off...

    There's a great chocolate chip cookie recipe in Annalise Robert's book. It calls for 1 tsp of xanthan gum for 2 cups of the baking mix. Of course, you're not making those cookies, I imagine. I would use at least 1/2 tsp. for each cup of flour. The xanthan gum adds back some of the elasticity that gluten-free flours lack. Wheat gluten is what makes bread...

    The best way to find out is to ask your pharmacist for the manufacturer contact info and call them to see. More than likely, the binder used is corn, but you'll have to check.

    Olive oil - HOLY SPIT, BATMAN!!!! Open Original Shared Link

    It's just me and my husband, but my policy is that I won't prepare something I can't eat. I also won't allow any non-prepackaged gluten in my house, and nothing that has to be repared/eaten on a dish that can't be put in the dishwasher. That means no wheat flour, bisquick, etc. because it gets everywhere. He also can't prepare frozen pizzas directly on the...

    Bake the cookies until a little crispy and they taste just like chips ahoy

    We have that rule too, DH and I. You have to be a REALLY good cook to pull it off. Fabulous incentive! Especially since the better cook you are, the bigger mess you make Cissie- I forgot to say that I add 1 tsp xanthan gum to the frying mix per cup, though I'm sure it would work without it

    I just bought the book and made these. OH MY GOD they are so good and I don't even like chocolate chip cookies. And I'm eating gluten right now and STILL think these taste good Best $17 I ever spent on a book Oh, and for you CF folks, the chocolate chip cookies are casein-free (if you use enjoy life chips). GO BUY THE BOOK, PEOPLE...

    Annalise Roberts is my hero!!! I went out and bought the book. I am a good baker again!!!

    Del Monte is a good company like Kraft. Go for it. I've eaten all kinds of Del Monte stuff without problems.

    Sorry. I'll make no further comment

    Blue Diamond also makes natural whole almonds that are gluten-free

    Godiva is not gluten-free. Sorry However, both Hershey and Nestle will clearly list gluten containing ingredients as wheat, barley, rye or oats. I'm not a fan of chocolate, so that's as far as I go. Others know of other gluten-free brands.
  19. penguin
    No no no no no! Spelt has exactly the same kind of gluten that wheat, barley, rye, and oats have! It is definitely not safe for someone that is Celiac or gluten intolerant. Maybe, and a weak maybe at that, is that some people with wheat allergy (not celiac or gluten intolerance) might be able to handle spelt. Spelt is basically an anicient form of wheat.

    Jell-o pudding, as long as there is not wheat, barley, rye, or oats on the label, it's safe. Most of them are indeed safe, the one I can think of off the top of my head that isn't safe is the oreo flavor. With Kraft, their modified foodstarch is always corn unless stated otherwise. They aren't the only company that does this, but I don't have a list right...

    Sorry, I'm not understanding. What's wrong with brown rice sweetener?

    Oh, no worries there! My whole family and my husband's family are from Arkansas. We know all the barefoot Arkie jokes, and a fair share of Aggie jokes!

    Boy howdy, you mean the Boone's Farm coolers are gluten-free?!? Makes me want to drink out in a field after the football game

    ARCHIVED Dh = Celiac?

    penguin replied to griffeth's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Yes. DH is the skin manifestation of celiac, and often people who are otherwise asymptomatic digestively but have DH have significant villi damage.
