    I know this is too late for Saturday, but in case it helps someone else. I make a quick dip that's sort of like a ranch or onion dip. To some mayonnaise (about a fourth of a cup), I add a pinch of yeast flakes to give it a cheesy taste, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I sometimes add dill weed. One could also add bacon bits (from fried...

    I thank you for your quick replies. I have a sensitivity to casein, but can tolerate small amounts (such as occasional cheese once a month or so). I would think the tiny amount per serving would not cause a reaction for me. I wanted it mostly for a two-week trip out of the country and wanted to be able to eat cereal in the hotel room for breakfast...

    I'm looking for powdered coconut milk as a substitute for regular powdered milk, both in recipes and to reconstitute to pour over cereal (for travel). Vance is out as I'm allergic to potato (darn!) I've looked a bit on an internet search but the ones I've seen there has some kind of milk product added, casein or even powdered cow's milk. I haven't...

    Rice Guy - the sorghum grains are definitely larger than millet, round and flat. Uncooked, about the diameter of a large bell pepper seed, but fat. Cooked, about the size of an uncooked split pea. Hominy is from whole corn kernals that are soaked somehow that causes them to swell. Then they are cooked. They are large - about the size of a cooked garbonzo...

    I am allergic to corn and potatoes and am always looking for something else as a side dish other than rice. While browsing the aisles in an Asian market I came across a bag of dried sorghum grain. Asked about it and was told it is used in soups. I also found on the internet that it can be eaten as a side dish with butter and seasonings. And, one is supposed...

    Oh my. Was that from gluten???? Now that I think about it, I haven't bitten my tongue or inside cheek in probably a year or more. And I was always doing that before. Gluten can cause the weirdest things to happen.

    This recipe makes a flat bread that is semi-moist. It holds together fairly well, but will crumble if handled without care. The texture is more like a biscuit than bread. Because of the coconut flour, it is a little dry in the palette. The flavor is quite good and not overwhelmingly coconut. It can be as sweet as you want to make it. I like it less sweet...

    It might be good to look at some recipes - here on the board in the baking forum, or gluten-free cookbooks (our library has several) and see what looks good to you and what flours they call for.

    Would be interesting to check. My body temp runs low all the time - in the dr. office it's usually 97.8 or a little more. Hardly ever 98.anything. When it's "normal" I'm running a low-grade temp. Is this a symptom??? I need to get them listed altogether I'm thinking. I should go back to the thyroid site and look at their lists. I had only looked at...

    I forgot to mention that I have hypoglycemia also. I thought "hyper" made your metabolism run fast. Mine is slow - gain weight easily and hard to lose it. Money is an issue right now with finding a specialist. And, ignorance of who they are and if they would be good. I spent over $600 with this last doctor only to find out that she wouldn't listen AT...

    I went to a woman in our town who does this. Pretty much everything she said turned out not to be what was really wrong with me.

    Shay, thanks for taking the time to reply. Is there anyway I can compare these results with the more current range indications? I am not all that fatigued. I have problems sleeping sometimes, and often get very tired right after eating a big meal in the evening, fall asleep for an hour or so on the couch, then wake up and can't go back to sleep until the...

    The longer I am gluten-free, the less sensitive I seem to be. At first, any glutening would mean a several days of D and 2 weeks of fatigue. Now it's a few hours and three days respectively. I am extremely careful about getting glutened. I, too, would not eat a g.f. pizza at a regular pizza place. I don't eat from buffets, either. It's just not worth either...

    Per serving of 1T, it has 1.8gr of carbohydrate of which 1gr is a sugar. I don't know if this is low enough to be SCD legal, but I'm very interested in it even so. I had to give up on protein powders years ago because of the dairy/soy/corn/etc.etc. issues It would be a real help to have a source of protein for my low blood sugar when I'm out and about and...

    I had a new doctor run the thyroid panel for me. Unfortunately, I won't be going back to see this doctor for interpretation because of some other issues of what seemed to me to be ignorance about gluten intolerance. I did get a copy of the lab results, though. Here's the lab results. They look within the normal range to me. Thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin...

    Hi all, I've sort of been AWOL - from the thread and somewhat from the diet. I'm not sure I'm going to stay completely on SCD - really difficult with all my restrictions. I find I cannot eat any of the nut flour goodies, and too much honey is just as bad. And the coconut flour all by itself doesn't really set well with me. Most of my diet is still...

    Oh yes. The cravings can be persistent and it's hard to stop eating massive amounts of sugery and starchy things. And the pounds pile on. I usually go through withdrawals when stopping the cycle. Three days of headache, shakes and irritability. However, here recently I had decided to try the SCDiet. I sort of eased into it for a couple weeks, eating...

    The yogut I made with the Asian coconut milk did not culture (after 24 hours it was completely separated - the white solids floating on top, nearly clear liquid on bottom). I don't know if it was an undisclosed ingredient in the Asian coconut milk or the temperature was a tad bit too high (112F in the water bath). Or maybe the commercial coconut yogurt used...

    I've been making coconut yogurt using canned coconut milk. The last four batches have turned out just fine. This last batch has separated. White "milk" on top with nearly clear liquid on the bottom. Smelled alright. Starter was from commercial coconut milk yogurt - used 1/4 cup. Coconut milk was from an Asian market (I've not used this before) ...

    Yes, I am getting more restricted as far as SCD goes. It may be that I cannot do this diet. But I'll wait until I get some tests run before making a decision. Almonds have shown up as an IgG allergen in past tests, so I'm not very much surprised about reacting to them. Other nuts, as well. But some of that could just be the high fat content and without...

    I eat at Chile's at least once a month and have not had any problems. Granted, my dairy and corn allergies limit me to only two meats (hamburger patty and grilled chicken breast) and steamed vegetables, but it's still a treat to eat out. I think that, as a whole, the restaurant is good at educating at least their managers about the gluten-free menus, and...

    I understood from reading the other site that it is a genetic condition that prevents the body from processing toxins so they build up over time. There is a lot about the human body that researchers don't know the why. At least this one is not under the catagory of "it's all in your head" that they love to throw at us when they don't understand something...
  23. ArtGirl
    Never. But apparently it's been known about for over a century. Did a Google search and this was the first site that came up - it is interesting. Open Original Shared Link I hope your doctor(s?) can get you on the right treatment for this soon.

    Well, I guess I'll just have to grind up some cashews and give it a try. I'll post my recipe if it works.
  25. ArtGirl
    Has anyone ground up raw cashews and used that in place of almond flour? I find I cannot tolerate almond or pecan. REALLY wanting SOMETHING bread-like. I have tried coconut flour as a replacement but the result is quite dry and I easly choke on it. I can't eat egg but can adequately replace 1-2 eggs - but not those recipes that call for more than that...
