    Let us know what you did and how it turned out. One loaf lasts my husband at least a week, so I won't need to bake another loaf until next week. I'm so hoping I canl make a "perfect" loaf (Not that the "fallen" loaf doesn't taste just as good.)

    Welcome to the board. I don't know anyother place that is such a wealth of information and encouragement for the gluten-free. To answer your original question... I find that symptoms begin to show about 15 hours later. First I get irritable, then have D and cramps for three days which slowly improves over a week's time - and all along I'm very tired. ...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. And I am an experienced bread baker.... from years ago, though A couple things that DID go right..... I found that if I measured the oil first, then used the same tablespoon to measure the honey, the honey just slid right off the spoon. I used my electric knife to cut this last loaf and it...

    Well, from the picture of your loaf, it turned out perfect! Unless someone has a suggestion for me, I think the next loaf I'll reduce the water slightly and let it rise only about 1/4 inche from the top, rather than all the way. (It is perhaps just a tad too moist.)

    I burned the motor out using my little light-weight hand mixer (probably 20 years old, so it's no great loss). Anticipating making another loaf today, I went out yesterday and bought a KitchenAid "Ultra Power" hand mixer. It has regular beaters and dough beaters. It worked like a charm and had no problem mixing up this heavy dough. I also bought another...

    My feelings, exactly. I'll do without rice cakes. I really only like the flavored ones, and since corn is an issue, that eliminates those.

    Would you all like another take on the thirst issue??? Courtney, I'm not saying this is YOUR problem, but just wanted to mention it. For a number of years I've always had sort of a dry mouth and felt like I was thirsty all the time - don't have diabetes, etc. etc. I've always kept water with me and can easily drink a gallon of water a day. In another...

    Welcome back - I'm glad you're feeling better. Just wanted to relate that my heartburn issues left after about 5 weeks on the gluten-free diet and have never returned. I know there are others here who have reported having GERD that cleared up after going gluten-free.

    FYI - from Open Original Shared Link ... I'd never heard of a tamarine so did a google search for it.

    Regarding CORNSTARCH in Kimberly Clark paper products... Recap: They DO use cornstarch during the process of wrapping the paper products in plastic packaging. That would be all their toilet paper brands and paper towels.

    I have a grain-free cookbook that has some good recipes in it. They rely heavily on almond meal in place of flours for baked goods. I have tried their pie crust - tastes just like a cookie crust. Haven't attempted the "breads" made with almond meal - that stuff is expensive. However, there are many entree and other non-"bread"-type recipes that are very...

    Me too. I was VERY CAREFUL on the second loaf I baked to not let it get above the pan, but again it just poofed up quickly in the oven. I turned the loaf on its side immediately after taking it out of the oven and that helped to keep it from imploding, but it still was sunk in on one side. I'd sure like to know what to do about this, also.

    I'm starting to get confused. Now I see that Kimberly-Clark's reply to Richard's inquiry about Cottenelle and Kleenex - they say they use cornstarch. (opening post to this thread) darlindeb25 - You say that your reply from them stated they use modified food starch. (Is this the same cornstarch that's in Cottenelle and Kleenex?) Hopefully the...

    Well.... I've been checking the links some more, and not having a problem. Maybe it was operator error?
  15. ArtGirl
    Is something scrambling the links on the forum lists?? Or is just my computer. I click on a thread title, or the last post link, and go somewhere else entirely.

    ARCHIVED Iodine

    ArtGirl replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    That's interesting. Will be looking for others' replies. I have taken kelp in a supplement for several years - three caps twice a day - to up the iodine in my system. I've had low thyroid, but I think this is slowly resolving, as the last test I had was in the low normal range.

    Scott is a Kimberly Clark product, so, yes, it's gluten-free. I suspect that there aren't ANY toilet papers that have ANY gluten in them. Just doesn't make any sense. I don't know about generic paper towels. I stick with products that either I have verified, or others I trust have done so. Edit: I sent an inquiry to KimberlyClark asking about corn...

    According to the folks at the avoiding corn forum, Angel Soft and Scott are corn free. (I am waiting for an answer from Georgia-Pacific about the corn issue so I can verify - see the thread I started for this.) I use toilet paper instead of facial tissues for blowing my nose. That's why a corn-free toilet paper is essential. (According to my source -...

    I emailed Georgia Pacific and asked specificatlly about Angel Soft toilet paper, and here's the response. This isn't as full an answer as Kimberly Clark gave (I asked about their packaging, too), but it's not likely they'd use any flour on anything. I've sent them another question to ask (again) about corn derivatives. Georgia Pacific manufactures...

    That's what I remember from the avoiding corn forum. Cornstarch - not flour. Thanks for the post.

    I went the for the Enterolab test, also. Since I had been gluten-light for several years, I didn't think any test would be valid, even though I still had major IBS symptoms. As it turns out (from Enterolab) I have two intolerant genes - no celiac genes - and no malabsorbtion problems. What this means to me is that I have non-celiac gluten intolerance,...

    Thanks, Debra

    I stand corrected. I got this information, not from an email, but from an article in a reputable health magazine. (I can't remember now the name of it - it was a borrowed magazine and at least a couple years ago.)

    For what it's worth..... Those plastic bottles that filtered/spring water arer sold in aren't meant to be reused. I read a research report about the various plastics used for water and food, and they stated that these bottles can maybe be reused a second time, but then they begin to leach chemicals into whatever is in the bottle. (and the chemicals are...

    Before I had to give up eggs, I used to make a thin crepe-like pancake with only egg. I would beat the egg until frothy, then put in a hot oiled non-stick pan and tip the pan in a circle to evenly spread the egg so that it became very thin. This produced a thin, slightly rubbery crepe that I would use as a dessert crepe. Might be too eggy for as a sandwich...
