    I don't see it as in any way my responsibility to advance medical science by spending maybe tens of thousands of dollars I don't have to convince doctors that the research information already available is correct. Unless you are actually participating in a research experiment, your data will never be compiled, aggragated or released in any form.

    Since you're darkening your hair and it's already been lightened previously, you might want to consider using a demipermanent color, which doesn't contain lighteners (bleach or ammonia) and is gentler.

    The problem is that soy is just a food, which should be consumed in moderation, like any food. But the medical establishment has promoted it as something between a natural medicine and a miracle food that we should make the majority of our diet, based on nothing but test-tube studies. Population studies have failed to show that it has any amazing healing...

    Buy rice noodles at the Asian store rather than at the health food store or supermarket. Buy rice in a big sack at the Asian store and eat it every day.

    Speaking of mileage varying... The original research from which pedialyte later was developed was intended to produce a recipe for Oral Rehydration Therapy that mothers in the third world could make themselves to use to save the lives of their children with severe diarrhea. They found that any sort of sugar or soluble starch would work, with a lot of leeway...

    I think there are a variety of issues involved that cause people to discount necessary dietary restrictions. Almost everybody nowadays takes on discretionary dietary restrictions, based not on medical diagnosis or even personal observations, but on some passing fad, dislikes, or philosophical considerations. I'm sure you know people who move from one set...

    Probably not the opinion you're looking for... I have professional training, and I have done one heck of a lot of baking, but I look at your ingredients list and all I can think is that it's gonna take a lot more than tweaking the ingredients list or techniques to turn that from a heavy, sticky loaf to something breadlike. My culinary instincts say that...

    I have made oat porridge from whole oats by boiling it until they break down. I have not done this since I found I could not eat wheat, so I don't know if rinsing them prior to cooking would remove any cross-contamination.

    How thick were they? The ones I use are transparent. I soak them in hot tap water for 30 seconds or so, until completely limp. I never fry, just make rolls by wrapping up salad ingredients and such.

    I would look for one with good reviews. Some of the ones with multiple plates get lousy reviews, they work so poorly. This is a company that is famous for little refrigerators. That doesn't give me confidence in their waffle iron.

    A lot of people nowadays take real pride in their narrow tastes, and will gladly put on a show for you about how much they dislike or even hate foods they have never tried. If you eat food that's different from theirs, it's just different, not worse. If you prepare it with care, then it's better than theirs. I make a very attractive lunch to bring with...

    I make it from scratch when I want it. But it is a pain.

    If you don't lose weight when you change your diet, then being hefty is probably just a genetic thing for you. Rapidly losing weight is not good for your health, regardless of what you read. Your body will interpret it as starvation, and you will get those same symptoms. The surgery is even worse, as you can never go back. My mother put my father...

    When my daughter went away to college, I bought her one of those expensive Japanese rice cookers. It keeps food hot after the cooking cycle without scorching, and you can cook lots more stuff in it than just rice.

    I have a Open Original Shared Link. It's more expensive, but it's worth every penny. I'm looking forward to making pasta again after all this time.
  16. eKatherine
    Try Open Original Shared Link. You can download it and play it for them. It says, "I can't eat wheat. I can't eat pasta or pizza or bread or anything that contains wheat flour. I can eat meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, and fruit. Is there anything I can eat?"
  17. eKatherine
    I would increase the flour to make it a bit drier, cut back on the vegetable/fruit pulp or eliminate it entirely, add butter if you do dairy or some oil if you do not - probably a quarter of a cup of oil or fat, substracting this from the rice milk quantity. Then lower your oven temperature by 25°.

    A funny: I was explaining to a woman where I was working that I was going to skip the holiday party they threw for the workers because there was no food provided that I could eat, Pizza Hut pizza and supermarket bakery cookies only, as I couldn't eat wheat. She was dumbfounded. She said to me, I could eat the pizza made without the wheat flour, couldn...

    My feet were swollen, too, and the one with the bone spurs was downright painful. I used to get bruising just from walking. Not eating gluten has been extremely helpful, but it's not the only issue. I'll be figuring out if milk or something else is an issue soon, too. If your lips are cracked and dry, you might want to look at your diet to see if you...

    I travel with a small Japanese rice cooker and a sack of rice. I never have to worry about not finding something suitable to eat, as I can get a salad and have rice in a pinch. Also, you can boil an egg in a cup of water in a microwave, too.

    I eat wheat, and my joints hurt like crazy for about 18 hours, especially my right foot, which has bone spurs. I've been told this is sign of an allergy to wheat.
  22. eKatherine
    You can use a damp sponge on the glue.

    I just figure it's all about their own unbalanced diet (for lots of people, wheat is their major dietary component - you see them eating it constantly), their ignorance about the possible range of foods that are eaten, and their lack of imagination. I think it's really a trivial thing to give up a food that is hurting you when there are so many good...
