    I know when I was stressed out, I used to want to live in a cave. Really, I used to think it would be great if I worked at home and never had to go out. Now I do work at home, and I feel like I'd like to get out more, go figure. I think if you weren't under the gun all the time you would be able to reach some level of interaction with the outside world...

    Any standard waffle recipe should work with a gluten-free flour blend that is intended to substitute directly for wheat flour. I suggest if you're on a very tight budget and have no experience with cooking something that you not take a chance on wasting ingredients. Any library should have a good selection of cookbooks. I've even seen people copying recipes...

    I would try that.

    As far as I'm concerned, the only true auburns on the market are in the Nice'n'Easy product line. My natural color is darkest brown, but it colors to a medium auburn with the natural light auburn shade, which looks less harsh with my pale skin and freckles at my age. I'm about 75% gray around the edges but still only sparklies on top. Carla, if you...

    I have heard of peripheral neuropathy that did not start until after the person went gluten-free. Research shows that neurological symptoms may or may not improve, but if not, eventually they will stabilize.

    He's busy cleaning out his kitchen after a little grease fire this morning. He'll be back soon enough.

    Yes, the window was 4 to 6 months, so you missed it. I wouldn't worry about it. I think it had a small effect, but as long as you missed it, and you are better off avoiding the cross-contamination that a baby spreading around gluten can bring, why not the both of you just stay gluten-free?

    I boil diced daikon, but the result is more like turnip than like potatoes in texture. When I want something Central or South American, I steam semi ripe ripe plantains, but you do have to be in the mood for something banana-like. Yuca can also be boiled or fried.

    I don't know if this will work for your situation, but I recently discovered that a blend of isopropyl alcohol and clear blue dishwashing detergent worked wonders in removing stubborn kitchen grime.

    I think that one reason newbies' quesstions go unanswered is that the most experieced longtime posters get burnout answering the same question repeatedly. Newer posters without much experience or expertise drop in and try to pick up the slack, but often their information is either incomplete or incorrect. I know my own experience on other boards has been...

    In my opinion, the conclusion of the paper should not be that we will soon be able to treat peanut allergies medically, but that now that we know what causes them, we can prevent them by not using topically-applied peanut products and not feeding soy formula to infants where there are other options.

    Brava!

    Just a suggestion: for the sake of your own health, from now on ask before eating rather than afterwards, when it may be too late.

    I would think that if you've been hanging out on this board for a while, you already know more than a typical doctor about celiac and real life. Just don't let the doctor decide to run more tests to see if the initial diagnosis was "incorrect", and don't let him get away with telling you to eat gluten again.

    I found it described on the web as a "commercial wheat starch gluten-free flour". I didn't find any information on the exact formulation of it. Information that I did find indicated that they change the formulation often. Perhaps that is the legal standard in Ireland, where they make it? I seriously doubt you should eat this.

    If I was going to cheat, it sure wouldn't be for junk food.

    I saw her post as a breath of rationality. I will continue to warn people when they are about to do something risky based on what they see as ideas that are superior because they are not contaminated by science.

    If you found a supermarket that was truly doing this, you should turn them in, as it would be completely illegal and the store could be shut down. I think the issue here is that ground meat will turn gray on the inside as it ages, while exposure to oxygen in the air causes the outside to stay red or even get a little bit more red. You can test this by buying...

    If your hair is quite thin and fine, and you really want to have it look full and with body, you should look into getting one of the custom hairpieces that they make for that purpose. It is like a very coarse net that you pull your hair through. It doesn't damage your hair like hair extensions or chemical treatments do. Just make sure you get it from...

    Raw animal products are easier to digest (I find fried eggs indigestible, but boiled ones are fine) than cooked. Cooked plant products are easier to digest than, as the human body, not being herbivorean, is not designed to digest cellulose, which can be broken down by cooking.

    Why would Gina need to repost? Her original post was still there, was it not? I read that post of yours, and my recollection was that by the way you wrote it you were asking her if she was mentally disturbed.

    I don't know if commercial pudding has wheat in it, but most of the recipes I made at home in the past called for wheat flour.

    They are trying to broaden the appeal of the product. It has nothing to do with taste. They did marketing research that showed them that the number of celiacs who were no longer able to buy the product is smaller than the number of people who will be sucked in by the bogus claim of "multi-grian" because they added wheat starch.

    Jerky is usually heated unless you make it yourself, and I'm not sure I'd trust jerky that wasn't heated. There are some raw food people who eat raw fish and meat, too, but they don't have anything to do with the current movement. It's easy to get malnourished on a 100% raw food vegan diet. Raw beans and grains are just not digestible, and relying...
