    Considering how limited your diet is, you could very well be malnourished. A vitamin pill is not a substitute for an adequate diet, and a lot of the more expensive vitamins are barely there.

    Go to your local paper supply store and get yourself a ream of baking parchment, a lifetime supply. Cut pieces to fit the bottom of the cakepan, brownie pan, or cookie sheet. Throw it away afterwards. Easy removal and minimal cleanup.

    I think that it's more than her not "getting it", especially with a food like wheat, the most common food in our culture. On the one hand it displays a lack of science and critical thinking on her part, the idea that her personal experience can somehow be applied to your situation and prove you "wrong" or even "untruthful" - "I eat wheat, and I don't get...

    How much fat do you have in your diet? If you don't have enough, that alone would cause dry skin that will crack. You need to get a nutrition guide and write down everything you eat for a while, analyzing for fat, protein and carbohydrates. If you're not getting 30% fat it's probably not enough.

    I knew recipes called for this product, but I didn't know what it was til I traveled and saw it on the shelf in a supermarket, then looked it up on the internet. Swan's makes it and calls it "Potato Starch Flour". Until I saw this I just thought there was a lot of confused terminology floating around.

    Wow, there's a co-worker with an agenda. I would be motivated to have something come up at the last minute so I would get called away and have to miss her display of insincerity.

    The problem with potato starch and potato flour is that there is also a product called "potato starch flour", which I believe is the same as potato starch.

    ARCHIVED Jaw Pain?

    eKatherine replied to Turtle's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    When I was about 30 a dentist said to me that grind my teeth, which was the first I'd heard that this might be the case, though if you look at the tops of my teeth, you can see that they are ground flat. It turns out I have always always held my jaw tight. When it got to the point where my jaws were starting to ache, I forced myself to think about it...

    So you're saying you threw it away? I'm not telling you to keep it in the freezer at work, you could have put it in your pocket til you got home. But if you throw it out, you have nothing to show the doctor. It's just your word that you found something weird, and you won't even be able to answer the questions he'll ask about it.

    EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) and its salts are preservatives that prevent certain naturally-occurring chemical compounds in a product from reacting with each other and the environment and going stale. It contains no casein.

    Save it (freeze in a baggie) and bring it to your next doctor's appointment to show him.

    You said it's payday. What you need to do is pick up a cheap rice cooker and a sack of rice. Then learn how to cook rice in the rice cooker. It is so much cheaper to cook rice than to eat gluten-free rice cracker snacks that the rice cooker will pay for itself the first week, and you'll never go hungry even if you don't have money to buy meat and vegetables...

    I make my mayonnaise with pure olive oil, not extra virgin. Tastes great on asparagus, boiled eggs, tomatoes...
  14. eKatherine
    Just keep in mind that if you make it with olive and/or other vegetable oils, it's going to be mayonnaise, not hollandaise. But on the plus side, if you're not using butter, you won't need to cook it. I suggest looking up a recipe for blender mayonnaise.
  15. eKatherine
    Yes, these are great. You can fill them with just about anything. I've done lettuce with blue cheese dressing. cole slaw, anything cold or hot can go in them so long as it's not messy.

    Your anxiety is not necessarily food-related, or maybe not entirely food related. It could just be that a major factor is that you need answers, and not getting them is putting you into a place you're not comfortable in. The fact is that there are many things for which we have no answers. If they run the next test and it is negative, would you still go...

    I find that how moist a dough is will make a big difference in how long it takes to cook through. I use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature. I expect it to be at about 205°F when done.
  18. eKatherine
    Absolutely. We are surrounded by people who eat little but processed wheat products. This in no way is a normal or healthy diet. Humans were meant to eat a variety of whole foods. Eating almost exclusively wheat is a third world diet.

    Maybe somebody else can help you. I'm one of those people who is solidly built. Some people just happen to have their normal weight a lot lower than other people, and it's as hard for you to gain as it is for me to lose. It could be natural hair thinning, which just happens, though a doctor might be able to prescribe something.

    Proteins are hydrolized (think hydrolized vegetable protein), which means broken into smaller pieces, oils are hydrogenated, or are chemically reacted to change the carbon bonds and give them a higher melting temperature. Hydrolized vegetable protein is probably soy. Hydrogenated oils like crisco are definitely bad for your heart.

    Being malnourished can cause your hair to fall out. Hopefully if you can get your diet under control and put on weight, it will grow back, mostly. I've heard former anorexics say their hair fell out and hardly got thicker again after their recoveries.

    If you go to a member's profile by clicking on their name, you can see when they last posted. For jordanandnadia, it was November 2004.

    You can make hollandaise from clarified butter. Gently heat it until all the water evaporates, then filter out the milk solids through a paper filter.

    Who told you this? They're wrong, it's the best thing you can do. You just need to find somebody who can work with you on it.
