    Thanks for the link - I'm going to try that one, too. It includes flaxmeal. Yes, I REALLY MISS CRACKERS, too. I've been eating potato chips for something crunchy, but I'd rather have a cracker. These recipes have real possibilities - I like the idea of the sesame seeds, too.

    I found a recipe for Matzoh on this forum somewhere, but can't find it again, so can't give credit where it's due. I made the recipe today and it turned out very well. A nice crisp flatbread. Now, my little brain started working on this - hmmm a crisp "cracker". I tried spreading some olive oil on the surface of a piece and salted it. Ymmm - just...

    Good advice above. I'll just add that for me, also, the D didn't clear up completely after going gluten-free. Turns out I have a sensitivity to corn and was eating a lot of it. When I eliminated all corn products from my diet, the D cleared up. So, yes, you could have other allergies/sensitivities that are affecting your gut. For what it's worth - I stabilize...

    GROUND MEAT/RICE/VEGGIES CASSEROLE Rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes (place in hot water for a half hour or so, then cut in pieces - save the soaking water) Cook 1 cup wild rice mix in two cups water (takes about 20 minutes) and makes about 2 cups rice. Brown about a pound of ground meat (beef, sausage, dark turkey, etc.), drain, and crumble into small...

    In the Whole Foods and Wild Oats where I shop I've noticed that the Bob's brand packages are all shelved together, the gluten and gluten-free often being intermixed. I haven't had any problems because of this, thankfully. The WO store I shop has a gluten-free section, but it only contains a few things, and most of the baking mixes and flours are all grouped...

    ARCHIVED "how Doctors Think"

    ArtGirl replied to chick2ba's topic in Doctors

    Yeah, me too. Diagnosing Celiac and gluten intolerance is still a pioneer field.

    Well written article, Emily. What a great thing that they published it. This may lead the way for more articles. Great job.

    I don't eat oats as a cereal, but do use some safe rolled oats in cooking. I would think that, unless the label says something like the oats are certified gluten-free, that just ordinary oat products would not be safe simply because of cross contamination, even if they are organic. The certified gluten-free rolled oats are grown on dedicated ground, and...

    Ursa, When I click on *My Controls" I don't see *update* profile information, but do see *edit* profile information. When I click on that, there is nothing that says *custom member title*. Am I lookiing in the wrong place?

    I discovered how to make those rice tortillas work well and keep a decent texture without crumbling. I use a hot pan to warm them up, but before I put the tortillia in the pan, I lightly oil the surface of both sides (spread a bit of oil - or even margarine - in my hand and then rub the tortilla). Heat until it begins to blister. Then, put the filling...

    I think you can use cornstarch, sweet rice flour (which is the starch) or arrowroot flour (also starch) to sub for tapioca. I relate to the disappointment in not being able to use the store-bought mixes. I can't have corn, and cornstarch or cornmeal is in so many of them.

    Potato flour (not potato starch) is ground potatoes. When used with other flours it is thick and sticky - sort of like using mashed potatoes in the recipe (which you'd expect for gnocci). By the way, tapioca "flour" and "starch" are the same thing. I wonder if using a gluten-free pasta or noodle recipe would work for your dish (if the gnocci doesn't...

    And.... some of their canned fruits do not have citric acid added, so they are corn-free. I've been enjoying their canned peaches.

    Hello zJune, and welcome to the board. Moodiness and fatigue can indeed be symptoms of gluten. As was mentioned, you may need to search through your cosmetics, shampoo, hand lotion, dishwashing liquid - anything that gets on your hands or dishes (and could potentially make it's way into your mouth) - and look for hidden gluten. I have been gluten free...

    "Grain-Free Fourmet" by Jodi Bager and Jenny Lass All recipes in this cookbook are grain-free (they use almond flour), refined-sugar-free (use honey or maple syrup) and low-lactose Using almond flour sounds wierd, but is surprisingly good and the baked goods actually rise with the leavening. So if you can eat almonds, you might look for this cookbook...

    For me, corn was the culprit. I was getting better gluten-free and CF, but still having GI symptoms. Eliminating all corn and corn derivatives made all the difference for me. I also started taking L-Glutamine (an amino acid that helps reduce inflammation in the GI tract). I don't have anymore GI problems as long as I don't get "corned" or glutened! (The casein...

    Well put! (wipes tear from eye)

    Lots of good replies here, and "food" for thought for those of you who are new to this whole thing. It's just my husband and myself, and he has been careful. However, I spent a lot of time washing down cupboard door handles and the refrigerator handles, and had to constantly wash my hands. After a while, for my peace of mind (after watching me have an...

    This has been a most interesting thread. I would never have known about Aspergers and the Autistic *spectrum* before joining this forum. This explains some people I know (maybe even myself a little ) I have a question for you all. Where does the problem with racing thoughts fit into all this. I understand that it is an aspect of ADD. Is it also a symptom...

    I have a box of six Gluten-Free breadsticks by Glutino that I ordered from amazon .com last week. Like a dummy, I didn't read the ingredients carefully and they have cornstarch in them, which I can't have. (No wonder I was having some problems!) There's a picture and description on Amazon. Go to www.amazon .com and then search for breadsticks. They...

    If it's other foods that are triggering these symtoms, then you'll need to eliminate many of the typical culprits immediately. Dairy, soy, eggs, corn, nightshades (peppers, tomato, eggplant(?) and see if your fog goes away. Also, sulfites and sulfates can cause problems, too (grapes, wine, sulfated fruits and deli meats.) Just eat fresh foods like meats...

    Ditto. Now that I'm not depressed, anxious or irritable all the time - the thought of returning to that dark tunnel would be enough by itself to keep me gluten-free for life. It's been six months now gluten-free, and three months corn-free. I'm a much happier person than I've been for most of my adult life - sure wish I'd known about all this 30 years...

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll package it up in small bags and store in the freezer.

    I am *only* gluten intolerant, also. My response is - thank goodness I don't have celiac and don't have the intestinal damage which leads to cancer and ataxia and all those other really bad things (If I HAD been celiac, but this time - 40 years later - I surely would be dead of cancer or in a wheelchair). Is this a license to cheat? - I look at it this...

    Sounds like what I went through for years with my gall bladder. I always thought it was something I ate - but it wasn't. The pain would be high up and felt like a knife was stuck in my stomach and being twisted - went clear through to my back. It would keep me awake into the wee hours and then subside. I don't know why it seemed to always hit me in the late...
