Hi there. I haven't been on for a very long time, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. My 14 year old son was diagnosed a year and a half ago. My other two kids are going through the testing, and will both be scoped in March. Here's the scoop: my son has complained of a sore, itchy bum (anus) since I can remember; probably starting...

This bread is Great. One question though--am I letting it rise too long?? It practically doubles in size as it bakes (and I only let it rise to the top of the pan), then flops over a bit at the top. Still delicious, but a little challenging to slice. As for the flax seed--I'm wondering if substituting rice bran might work? They look very similar...

Thanks for the egg idea--I think I might experiment with that by adding the flour. I never even thought about the leavener and not adding it. It seems obvious, but I'm glad you mentioned it because I was only thinking of modifying the sugar in it. Also, I think I will continue on my search for that gluten-free tortilla post--I did some searching...

Stephanie, I used to get some brown rice tortillas that were at our health food store, but they have been out for the past two months. They never really rolled very good (quite crumbly), but at least I could use them for quesadillas. Now they are gone, and the health food store says that there is some sort of supplier problem. as for ETA--they don't have...

I think this topic has been brought up before to some degree, but I can't find what I'm looking for. My kids love wraps (more than sandwiches), and I have been looking for a recipe for a wrap that is poured (like a pancake), not rolled and cut. In the Bette Hagman cookbook I have they have a roll and cut version, and a pour-style one, but it was made primarily...

Larry- Just a couple of quick questions about your bread recipe. What kind of yeast did you use? I have both the traditional yeast and also the quick rise yeast (which has been recommended to me for a number of gluten-free breads). Which one should I use? Also, is there any rise time before baking, or does it just go right into the oven? Baking...

Sounds yummy. I'm always looking for quick family-pleasing weekday meals. I think that might be one to try tonight. Thanks.

I have two older kids (13 & 11) who were just tested positive for Celiac in March and June. For both of them there were very few "typical" symptoms. However, my daughter (11) sounds a bit like your son. Very moody, lack of focus, inability to get things done, tired all the time, and pretty grumpy. She has only been gluten free for about 9 months,...

Thanks guys! These all sound great--just what I was looking for. However, can I actually stuff my bird with them? I can't imagine roasting a turkey without stuffing it first. If so, at what point would I do so? After the stuffing is already cooked, or before it is cooked (letting it cook with the turkey)? Any thoughts?

Greetings! I was wondering if someone would happen to have a really good rice or wild rice stuffing recipe for the Christmas turkey? I did find a couple on the internet that sound pretty good, but, this is our first gluten-free Christmas, and I don't want to disappoint the in-laws with an untested recipe. Anybody have a good one to share?? Thanks in advance...

Greetings! I don't really know if this helps at all, but I have a friend who has a daughter with Turner Syndrome. Apparently, girls with Turner's are more likely to develop Celiac, and she has to have her daughter tested annually. Just a little info that you may or may not already know.

I also had a hard time with this idea. It appears that at least 2 out of 3 of my kids have celiac (we think the 3rd has it too, but she is only 2). Both my husband and I came back negative. I still don't think I believe that neither my husband or I have it. I'm actually in the midst of further testing for myself, because I really expected my results to...

Vampella--I can relate. We are from Canada too, and the mainstream foods that are gluten free here are definitely more limited. As for cereal that we can buy right off the shelf (not from a health food store), the only one that we have found is from the Real Canadian Superstore. It is President's Choice Crunchy Corn. It is in their "Organics" line, but...

Thanks for all the info. It has been so hard even just eliminating gluten (for my kids and me), but I have a feeling there is more to it. I just don't know where to start. I have a feeling that my oldest child does react to some food colourings, so that might be a good place to start. Is casein in everything that is derived from dairy? What about non...

All of my 3 kids are on the gluten-free diet after being diagnosed a few months ago. We have noticed some subtle, and some unexpected changes in them. However, they never really had "classic" symptoms, so it is a bit more difficult to gauge. My question is, how did you know to eliminate other things as well. I read so many posts where individuals with...
