    My daughter was not gluten-free, but I always thought Halloween candy was garbage - already stale or low quality - so here's how I handled the situation, which would probably work in this case. We would take the candy and repackage it in a plastic bag, while picking out an item or two she would get to eat right now. Then I put away the bag, and she never...

    It's a delicate balance between the xanthan gum and the moisture content. Generally, more xanthan gum requires more liquid. Otherwise the dough will be tough and not rise much.

    Whole black buckwheat flour is generally gritty and unappealing to me. White buckwheat flour is bland and can be substituted for rice flour. I find baked goods made with the flour to be indigestible unless I drink lots of water with them, though I've never had a problem with the boiled grains.

    I think it's just an adaptation issue: newbies don't have an understanding for what a forum is. They post a question, expect an answer, and then expect that it will end there. I've even been on boards where newbies repeatedly asked that their topic be deleted after they got their response, not realizing it was now going to be part of the common knowledge...

    Actually, it's an herb, not a fruit. I've found buckwheat is much tastier if toasted prior to cooking. They sell it both ways in the natural food store I used to buy it in, but I was too cheap to pay the extra for the pre-toasted and toasted it myself. I boil up whole buckwheat groats and add cooked crumbled sausage meat and its drippings in which I...

    You might want to add oats to the list, too. Even if your child can eat uncontaminated oats, wheat hides in most oatmeal product recipes.

    Keep in mind that the ADA has zero effect on the actions of anyone outside the borders of the USA and plan accordingly.

    That's not natural-style peanut butter! Natural style peanut butter contains nothing but peanuts and salt.

    I made a roasted pumpkinseed butter that had the exact texture of peanut butter. The flavor was different, and the color could best be compared to woodchuck poo.

    My father taught me to drill one hole through each eye and let the coconut water drain completely into a container before cracking it open.

    You didn't say that you were a vegetarian. For most people who just happen to eat wheat products as the majority of their diet, the key to a healthier diet and lifestyle is not merely to switch to alternative grains and starches, but to replace much of them with higher nutrition foods. In other words, you should substantially increase the quantities of vegetables...

    I have used 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour, but I'm not sure it's needed in cookie recipes.

    I have looked at Walmart here before, but I only saw it there just a couple of weeks ago.

    It sounds like you're saying that the first one who gives advice closes the thread...

    I found it at Walmart. Do you have one nearby?

    Actually, I do think there's an easy answer. If the food which is not served is valued at 20% of the total cost of the meal, give the customer a 10% discount. The restaurant is not losing money at all, it's just allowing someone to order less food who has no choice. People who aren't hungry order appetizers as their main course, and the restaurant makes less...

    Just curious how the doctor diagnosed a severe wheat allergy that didn't show up in allergy testing, and was giving celiac symptoms, which are different from allergy symptoms?
  18. eKatherine
    Buy your spices individually, not blended. They are pure that way. And make your salads with oil and vinegar or lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  19. eKatherine
    Well why not give a 10% discount to everybody who gets their meal without bread and other wheatstuffs, especially when it's mostly a matter of just leaving it off the plate? Do they charge vegetarians for shrimp when they order the stir-fry without it? I'm sure that they do not.

    I've heard this before, but I think he is misinterpreting. I think that people who have a subclinical (symptomless) gluten intolerance will find that their health improves generally when they go gluten-free, but when they eat gluten again, they react just as though they had always been intolerant.

    You eat Rice Krispies? They have gluten in them. Erewhon makes a crisp brown rice cereal that should be safe.

    Link is dead.

    What you have shown here doesn't demonstrate the extra-evolutionary scenario you claim - that feeding more gluten to individuals results in the individuals becoming independently more gluten-tolerant and passing this on to their children. What we have observed is that many celiac babies and children would not survive to grow up and reproduce without a gluten...

    Oh, my. You should read Lysenko, or perhaps you already have.

    I have seen quite a bit of this, and whenever I've suggested that someone should continue to explore other possible causes, I've been shot down and drowned out.
