    I ordered almond flour to use in baking pie crusts and cookies. It arrived this afternoon. This morning my husband announces that he thinks nuts are bothering him and is going to stop eating them. I now have 5 pounds of almond flour. I'll use it for my own baking and stuff, but it's going to last a very long time. How would you store it? Is it okay...

    I was wondering when reading that you used a pasta maker if, perhaps, Hagmen's cooking time was for a thicker noodle. I agree with Jerseyangle - just reduce the cooking time and test early on. Now you've got me thinking about making noodles again. Hmmm... chicken noodle soup.... sounds good.

    I feel better eating lots of raw veggies. I'm not vegetarian, though, and eat a fairly balanced diet. I do best when my diet is at least 50% veggies and half of them raw. Rice Guy - I puree my veggies also. I call them my "veggie smoothies". I used to have stomach aches from eating too much raw vegetables, but after a couple months gluten-free, I don...

    About a year ago I was following a diet and supplement plan that, after the initial detox stage, included Primal Defense. I improved a lot prior to I started up the supplements and yogurt, and was very puzzled as to why my G.I. symptoms came back again. It wasn't until I started reading here on this forum that I discovered that all of my "green" supplements...

    To all of you who are so good with research, can you post some links to a few research and/or studies that link gluten to rheumatoid arthritis? There is an acquaintance of mine who has debilitating RA and I want to suggest gluten, but feel I need to be armed with some facts. (Yes, I know this has been discussed many times in many threads, but my computer...

    The brand I have is from "Gifts of Nature, Inc." - bought it at Wild Oats. Here's their statement: 1. produced by growers that understand gluten free 2. raised on clean, dedicated ground 3. harvested and transported in dedicated equipment 4. Elisa tested for purity by grower lot and batch 5. processed and packaged at Gifts of Nature's totally dedicated...

    I think so. I am *only" gluten intolerant and, based on Enterolab result of no malabsorbtion problem, I'm assuming that I have no villi damage. However, I have had fibromyalgia (no problem now), do have hypoglycemia, and possibly Sjogren's(self-diagnosed), and am overweight. So I think that the intolerant group can still suffer the consequences of keeping...

    Just tonight I fixed a meal my husband and I both liked a lot... Seasoned chicken nuggets: chicken breasts, deboned, cut into 1" pieces fried in a small amount of oil until cooked and browned. sprinkle with a seasoned salt - I made my own (salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, oregano) I added a little water under the chicken and stirred to moisten the seasoning...

    I'm right-handed but can do many things with my left hand, even write somewhat legibly. I can also write upside down and backwards with my right hand. (I had a very boring receptionist job once and had to do something to keep myself occupied.) I can also pick things up with my toes This grosses my husband out...I can take a matchbook, remove the...

    Like you, I have two gluten sensitivity genes. No celiac. I also showed no malabsorbtion issues. My conclusion was that I'm very fortunate indeed. Even though I have an autoimmune response to gluten, it must not be causing any villi atrophe (my own conclusion since untreated gluten intolerance for over 40 years has not resulted in detectible malabsorbtion...

    I like risotto and used to make some box mixes with it - until I had to quit eating dairy and corn. I still use it but make the dishes from scratch. There are so many varieties of rice.

    I've been adding the gluten-free oats to various dishes - no problems at all. Haven't had a bowl of oatmeal, though - don't really like oatmeal. I DO like oatmeal cookies and that will probably be next on the list.

    Here's a page on a dyslexia site where people have listed their methods of telling left from right. Some are the same as you all have mentioned. It's interesting. Open Original Shared Link

    I attribute difficulty with left/right and other directions as a form of mild dyslexia. I also have some reading problems. Not real bad as to interfere with work or other things, but definitely the directions thing is a challenge. I always have to stop and think before saying left or right. I canNOT read a map that's not alligned the way I am going, so often...

    The only reason commercial dog foods have all these grains in them is to make them easier to process and store, and to keep the costs down - grains are much less expensive than meat. Wild canine animals do not eat grains - yes, they may ingest some, and grasses too, from the innards of the prey they kill and eat - but this would be predigested and would...

    If sub-classifying presenting symptoms of celiac/gluten intolerance will help MDs make accurate diagnoses, then I'm all for it. The way it is now, if a patient doesn't present a very narrow set of symptoms, then they don't get a diagnosis that would greatly help them.

    Rene, it's a real bummer for you to be sick so much. I think Laura is correct, if, after checking for all gluten sources, you are still so sick, you need to explore other possibilities. The first thing that comes to my mind is other food allergies, especially dairy or lactose intolerance (a common problem for celiacs because of the damaged villi). I don...

    Nutro brand's Natural Choice Lamb & Rice Formula (dry and canned) do not have any gluten-containing grains, just rice. They also have some gluten-free dog biscuits, Natural Choice Chops. (I buy it locally at the pet store, and also at a hardware store.) This is what I feed my dogs, for my own safety. I did notice that my little Chihuahua, who often...

    With me it was corn. It's in so many gluten-free bread stuffs, and I just loved Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake (contains corn meal). I was really puzzled because I knew I was gluten-free, but still had ups and downs with GI issues. And then, there was the heartburn. Turns out the corn was contributing to the D and heartburn, the casein to the itchy skin....

    Hathor, I have multiple food sensitivities, too. Soy is one of them, although not very high. I avoid soy flours and tofu, and other major soy foods, but not soy lecithin (sp?), which is in so many commercial products. I avoid it in supplements because I would be taking them every day, which probably isn't wise. I would think the yeast-free breads would...

    I've never gotten glutened from washing my hands in a public/office restroom, but I use the "soap" sparingly and really rinse well, along with rubbing my hands well on the paper towel when drying (and not just blotting). I feel like I've eliminated gluten even if it were in the soap, which it probably isn't. But some places use moisturizing liquid "soap"...

    Stephanie, the dough IS really thick and it rather drops into the pan instead of pouring. You have to push it out to the edges and smooth the top. Make sure you eggs and other ingredients are room temperature - yeast doesn't rise when its cold. If you set the pan in a cold oven, you can place a pan of hot tap water in there to warm up the air and make...

    I was very prone to reflux, heartburn, etc. About 2 months gluten free, this all cleared up.

    If you have a blender, you can process the seeds in it and make your own flaxseed meal. That's what I do. I keep the seeds in the freezer and only process what I need for a specific recipe - that way they stay fresh. Put about 1/4 cup seeds in the blender and run on medium speed for a few minutes. Now and then you can dislodge the meal from the very bottom...
