    I wouldn't even have remembered that I suggested it to him if he hadn't reminded me of it tonight. He told me how pleased he was that he was able to get around again instead of being stuck in the wheelchair for fear of falling, and his neuropathy is greatly improved, too. He even turned on his cam so I could see him walking around. He also mentioned that...

    You need to learn to cook rice. Buy it in a sack at the Asian store, then get back to us for directions.

    I am half Croatian, but the family has a Turkish family name. I would beg to differ. A population only develops a tolerance by die-off of the less tolerant members, evolution being what it is.

    This forum automatically replaces certain strings of characters with others. So if you type "celiac disease" in a thread title, it will replace it with "Celiac Disease", as this will improve the search engine status on that keyword for the site. But if what you really meant was "Compact Disk", it's going to be a little hard to understand the new title. ...

    Try taking it down by a quarter of a cup to 1/2 cup. I guess I wasn't reading straight.

    I never realized until arriving at this board that there was anything like a gluten-free bread. So I have been cooking up sweet rice, and adding broth, drippings, sauteed onions and celery, and herbs and spices so it tastes just like stuffing. Nobody ever complained.

    You will have to reduce the liquid added to make up for the difference. Try taking the rice milk down to 3/4 cup.

    Some people with severe intestinal damage may have no symptoms whatever, while some people actually don't get any intestinal damage. They may just wake up one day and find that they have neurological problems which prevent them from leading a normal life, and they may never recover.

    The dough is wetter, and due to the lack of gluten, it doesn't rise as much. I have found that cooking at a lower temperature for an extended period of time - until the internal temperature reaches 200°F with an instant read thermometer - will guarantee bread that is cooked in the middle.

    Are you used to eating raw vegetables, or is this unusual for you?

    I am self-diagnosed, based on arthritis and inflammation which went away when I happened to give up carbs for a few days. I've been gluten-free for 3 years now. I always bring meals with me when I'm expecting to be away from home working, although I generally don't have intestinal reactions to eating gluten. It would just make it painful to walk. The diet...

    Tamari is the name of the wheat-free Japanese soy sauce that many people use. A real Japanese restaurant will use regular 'shoyu' soy sauce for its sushi. It always has wheat in it.

    Argh, NOOOOO... That makes it impossible to eat without the short ends splashing sauce on your face and clothes. Twirling is good for learning coordination and manners, and once you have learned it it's easier to eat that way. Asian spaghetti is shorter than American spaghetti anyway.

    It makes the dough hang together, just as wheat gluten would. I suggest that first, before you start getting creative, you should make a couple of different recipes (the recipe index on the board here is fine) without substituting anything for the ingredients. That will give you a better idea of what to expect for gluten-free baking.

    None of those things are related, and they are rarely used in that exact combination. That's like running a single allergy test to cover the top 8 allergens as a combination, and if it comes up positive, telling you to give up all eight.

    I am able to consume normal amounts of butter, but that is the only cow dairy product I still use.

    There are a lot of reasons you could have lower back pain. One study a while back showed that it was a common symptom of caffeine withdrawl, too.

    Well I just fell off the Paleo wagon last night, had two bowls of Dora the Explorer cereal that I finally found at walmart, that stuff is great!

    We don't actually have any type on non-nydrogenated lard available to us here. It's made with palm oil. Coconut oil is not completely solid at room temperature unless it's been hydrogenated.

    I always make cookies on baking parchment or silicone sheets and they come out fine. I recommend getting an oven thermometer rather than just playing with the temperature. You could still lose several batches before getting it right if the temp is as far off as it sounds.

    ARCHIVED Hummus?

    eKatherine replied to chgomom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Also, it could be cross contamination. Most companies that make hummus also make foods that contain wheat. Definitely make your own.

    I think this is the best idea. She sounds like she's too weak to cook, can you shop for her and bring over homemade meals?

    ARCHIVED English Check?

    eKatherine replied to gfp's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I think your main problem is that you are trying to write in an uncomfortably (and unnecessarily) formal style, although you express yourself perfectly well in a more conversational style. This style makes it hard to proofread, and I saw some runon sentences in there that could have been comfortably broken up.
  24. eKatherine
    They do.

    ARCHIVED English Check?

    eKatherine replied to gfp's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I am in linguistics, and I definitely have to disagree that you can have strong grammar but be unable to express yourself, or that native speakers do not know their own language. The part of the brain that controls language acquisition and use is different from the part employed in memorizing rules and lists of vocabulary of a foreign language. It is...
