    Have you had a colonoscopy? (Is that how your IBS was diagnosed?) If I were having SEVERE stomach pains--- I would first be requesting a total GI work-up -==including the colonoscopy and stool sample testing === for starters.--- If you've already done that and everything is o.k. (except for IBS) I would next try to track down any food allergies,...

    I use a Breadman Ultimate and am pleased with it. I can program in my own settings for gluten free bread. I've read that most any bread machine can make good gluten free bread=== even using the regular (wheat) cycles. I bought my daughter-in-law a used bread machine for $10.00 at a garage sale and it works great !

    I use similar settings on my Breadman Ultimate---- knead about 15 min--rise 60 min--bake 60 min on 350 degrees, Bread turns out fine.

    A lot of your symptoms (but not all ) could be related to high anxiety and stress. Have you seen a gastroenterologist for your gut issues?
  5. MyMississippi
    I would ask these questions of my gastroenterologist. He's the specialist. He should have some good answers. Also, considering how sick you have been, he may be ruling out other disease processes(besides Celiac) by doing an endoscopy. Glad you are doing better.

    THere is much evidence that eating fat and cholesterol is NOT what causes elevated cholesterol. The key is to get as much sugar and carbs out of your diet as you can. And this is not for the faint of heart.. The Atkins Diet has great success in lowering cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, blood pressure, and of course your weight ...

    I just bake without it and the muffins turn out fine. I take a regular recipe for muffins or cornbread , then sub the gluten-free flour--- Have never bought any xanthan gum and haven't needed it yet. However, I have not tried to bake gluten free cakes and cookies . Might need it for that ?????? Don't know.

    Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix (is also gluten free) can be used to make pie crusts and pizza dough that you roll out. I tried the pie crust and really liked it. To me it was as good as the wheat flour pie crusts---- didn't try the pizza dough but I'm going to soon.

    I wouldn't worry about it ---- (as long as you're not eating your shampoo)

    You might have rosacea (don't think I spelled that right ) I had red cheeks, chin, and nose that would come and go for years. And then the redness got better, but never went away completely. Then I noticed this red little patch on the end of my nose that came and went for years. Finally went to dermatologist because I thought it might be a skin...

    I only liked Pamela's Wheat free bread mix when I added a lot of ground flax seed to it. ( and sometimes sunflower seeds, also ). Like you, I don't care for the texture or taste of the breads. I used to bake my own wheat bread and as far as I'm concerned nothing gluten free can ever taste that good ! ! I don't use the xanthan gum in anything I...

    Since you were just in the hospital for this, did they not do the Upper G.I.'s, lower G.I. x-rays ?? I would see a good gastroenterologist if you haven't already. And don't worry til you know you have something to worry about. Anxiety makes EVERYTHING worse.

    Just wondering if anyone has a delicious fruit cake recipe?? Funny----- I've never wanted fruit cake before------but for some reason it's sounding good to me.

    Cutting wheat and gluten out of your diet is not detremental to your health. In fact, it can be very healthy, even if you don't have celiac. Most of the wheat products consumed by Americans is in the form of white bread and junk food like cakes, cookies, etc. which are devoid of any real nutritional value anyway. Even though they taste GOOD and are great...

    Does anyone else in your family have diabetes?? Parent, grandparent ??? Type 2 diabetes is often hereditary. You might be in the "prediabetic" phase, if your Fasting glucose is running over 100, but below 120. Keep your carbs down and you might be able to forestall ever getting full blown diabetes. THe book, The Atkins Diabetes Revolution is worth...

    ptkids Thanks for the info. I've been looking at the Norpro bread slicer also. And am leaning towards buying one.

    ELsie, I use my Breadman Ultimate bread machine to make Pamela's Wheat Free Bread . It does fine. I just put the mix in as instructed--- then turn it on a regular cycle, let it mix well for a few minutes, scraping the sides down. Then I turn the whole machine off, unplug it, (pat the dough into a loaf shape)-- let the bread rise for an hour (or more...

    Mamaw--------- ooooops ! It's Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix that I use, NOT AMY's (where did I get that??) It makes great pie crusts too----

    I bake my own bread most of the time ( Amy's Bread Mix ) and it slices well, except I cannot slice evenly and equally. I've tried an electric knife and a serrated knife. Does anyone use some kind of bread slicer that works well----- I'm looking for uniformity with minimal effort. . Thanks !

    THis has been discussed before, I'm sure------ but can anyone tell me something I can use for a thickener in recipes besides cornstarch. Something healthier, natural ??? THanks ! !

    Have you tried the yogurt everyday (like Danactive) for your sluggish digestive system??? I just eat plain yogurt everyday and it helps.

    I used plain brown rice flour. IT worked.

    I tried to make my mom's wonderful cornbread dressing ---using no wheat flour, of course-- I substituted rice flour---- it just wasn't the same ! ! It was crumbly and off color----- and a lot of work -- just to throw in the garbage can ! ! ! ! when you have to give up wheat flour-- you miss out on a lot of good food ! ! !

    I've learned to enjoy my burgers without a bun-- just use a large lettuce leaf on each end in place of the buns.----- Or you could use a portebello mushroom for one bun and a lettuce leaf for the other. I don't do cereal because of high carbs--- most mornings, I have an omelet with veggies, bacon, plain yogurt and an apple. Don't know what to...
