    "Fast Food" for me comes from my freezer in individually packaged leftovers and meats. A meatloaf can be sliced and frozen - has protein and carbs (I don't use egg in mine; just gluten-free, no-CC oats, but you could use bread crumbs or cooked rice.) Or just make up a bunch of pre-cooked hamburger patties. I have a small electric grill that grills...

    I think you have your answer. Unless, of course, there's another ingredient in the product that's giving you symptoms. My general policy is to stick with products that actually say "gluten free" unless I can get a response from the company - or someone on this forum has done so and posted the reply.

    ARCHIVED Corn?

    ArtGirl replied to raen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    My experience exactly. A milder form of gluten symptoms. It took me a while to discover what the problem was after I went gluten-free. And I was really loving the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free chocolate cake mix - has a lot of corn meal in it. Until the last few months I have avoided any corn derivative - including citric acid, dextrose, etc. It's been a...

    It varies with the individual. Some as short a time as 20 minutes. For myself, 15 hours (usually the next morning if CC occurred with the evening meal).

    What ShayFL said.... I couldn't have said it any better. I didn't go through any doctor but "self" diagnosed - and was confirmed in this diagnosis by Enterolab results, along with confirming that I need to avoid dairy and soy. If I were in your place, I would not risk CC with my child but would strive for the 100% gluten free. She will never get totally...

    About the only thing that concluding that I'm "intolerant" rather than "celiac" is a bit of peace of mind that if I haven't developed autoimmune diseases by this time after 40 years undiagnosed, I probably won't ever. And a lessening of the fear of developing intestinal cancers. Other than that, my life is the same as any celiac's. Centered around food...

    That's why I've come to rely more and more on this forum. Some are really good with research and post their findings. Others find out the hard way (like me with this product) and also post their results. I don't know how celiacs managed before the internet and these kind of resources. Made a LOT of phone calls, I expect.

    Well, this just confirms what I have already concluded about my own conclusion. Having had gluten-response symptoms for 40 years, if I did have Celiac, I would have expected more damage to have been done and to have been sicker. Eliminating gluten eliminated the symptoms and my gluten-response symptoms (when accidentally CC'd) have progressively gotten less...

    A pumpkin farm sounds really good. If you contract out the hay wagon, there would be very minimal exposure and no storage of hay. What state were you thinking of settling in? In Kansas, sunflowers are not only a crop for the seeds, but also for the flowers themselves. I envy you in getting away from the city. I have lived in the city all my life...

    However, I did get a reaction. Apparently the incidence of cross contamination is real and probable with this product.

    I seem to remember this topic was discussed some time back. I think it was noted that straw that is used for animal stalls and such is often (always?) the stalks left over from the wheat harvest. Could be from any grass plant I'm thinking, like oats, rye or barley, too. The person who started that thread was having a lot of problems being around the straw...

    I have used toasted sesame oil in stir fry and other asian-type dishes. I is not quite like fermented soy, but is has a pleasing taste. It's a strong flavor so I'd recommend adding a little at a time and taste as you go. It doesn't have a very long shelf life once opened. So I always buy small bottles.

    I had one a couple days ago just to try out - no problem. I'll probably eat it again. And it was yummy with a good chewey/crunchy texture. I think it was coconut apricot with a nut (I've thrown away the wrapper so can't check). I know it didn't have any cereal type ingredients. This bar had fewer ingredients than some of the others, and I would have...

    In this thread Open Original Shared Link is a recipe for graham crackers that I make often. A friend of mine makes them for her celiac grandson (college age) who loves them. I fix them just a little differently. Since they are refrigerator cookies, I roll the dough intp a "log". When I'm ready to bake, I slice off 1/8-inch slices and put them on the cookie...

    Authentic Foods has a superfine white rice flour - it's very smooth. (They have superfine brown rice flour, also). It comes in 3 lb bags and you can get it from the Gluten Free Mall Open Original Shared Link I have also been quite pleased with Shiloh brand brown rice flour which, although not as fine as the superfine, is finer than, say, Arrowhead Mills...

    I make my own baking powder and that's the recipe I use - baking soda, cream of tartar, and arrowroot starch. Actually, it's quite easy to make and very inexpensive if you mix up your own. I do so much baking that I go through a lot of baking powder.
  17. ArtGirl
    I can certainly relate to that. I cannot buy any gluten free mixes because they all have at least one starch in them that I can't tolerate. And forget the lovely frozen gluten-free breads, pies or donuts. I am, however, finally finding some recipes for baked goods that have no egg and are actually good. But it's taken me a year of experimenting and tweaking...
  18. ArtGirl
    Ohhh, what a good idea. I can "see" a coffee cake with a strudle topping with this bread recipe.
  19. ArtGirl
    Thanks, Purple. I should have known it was you. I searched for "focacia" which didn't bring up the thread as you hadn't used that word. notice you've been experimenting with baked goods without egg. This has been quite helpful for me. Tonight I thought a little olive oil and garlic powder would be very good on my Italian herb version. Didn't though...

    I cannot have cornstarch, potato starch or tapioca which is in so many gluten-free flour mixes. I also cannot have egg or dairy, which makes it difficult to make good bread. However, someone on this forum mentioned this recipe (I've searched but cannot now find the original thread). The recipe is on recipezaar Open Original Shared Link The recipezaar...

    Thanks so much, Liz. I'm going to give this a try right away. Most of my flour mixes have arrowroot with both white and brown rice flours, plus a little bean flour which helps with the texture. I also add yeast to even the non-yeast type breads which helps with flavor and also in the rising. But the pancakes had me defeated.
  22. ArtGirl
    Thanks, Sarah, but I think the BRM mix has one of my allergens - I haven't found a premixed flour blend yet that doesn't. I probably should try the flax egg subsititue again, but when I've used it before the results weren't very satisfying. Oh well.
  23. ArtGirl
    I'm having a hard time coming up with etable pancakes with my restriction. No egg, milk (use almond milk) corn, tapioca or potato. Most pancakes rely on eggs. All the commercial gluten-free mixes need egg, and usually contain cornstarch and tapioca. I've tried them without egg and they are always gummy in the middle. Any of you super bakers have suggestions...
  24. ArtGirl
    Coming from the point of view of someone with multiple food allergies.... I would find it helpful if the recipe also includes substitutions. For example: I cannot eat egg, potato, tapioca or corn. Almost all gluten-free flour mixes, recipes and commercial mixes, have at least one of these flours in them and rely heavily on eggs. I have one recipe book...
  25. ArtGirl
    Along with making my own inquiries, I also rely on others' experiences as relayed in this forum. (Just wish I had checked here first before using the spray!) OFF TOPIC.... I just noticed RiceGuy's signature statement LOL
