Thanks Julie.

I actually went to Target 1 week or so ago. I bought a whole bunch of stuff but didn't see the pans. I'll check them out online.

I actually found a set of loaf pans in between the regular size and the minis at my grocery store. It was the good chef brand.

For the Analise Roberts fans out there, what brands of brown rice flour do you get? Where do you get it?

All I have seen around here is BRM.

Authentic Foods has the only brown rice flour I've tried & liked, but it costs a fortune. I ordered from their website; might be cheaper on Amazon. I have subbed white rice flour from the Asian market for brown though & it works but is not quite as flavorful. (Nor as healthy of course.) The brown rice flour at my local store is distinctly grainy & makes a much less palatable product if the recipe is simple. If there are lots of texture-ful things in there, it's not so noticeable.

I also sub in bob's red mill white rice flour. I don't have the $ to spend to special order flours like that. I love how things turn out with the white rice.

I use the Authentic Foods superfine brown rice flour that she reccommends, but I'm lucky enough to have a local mainstream store carry it. Sure, it's like $9 for a 3lb bag, but it's so worth it, and I'm cheap :rolleyes:

That's incredible that a mainstream store stocks it! Which one?

It's called HEB (A central Texas thing) and this particular location carries a lot of gluten-free stuff, and I think most of Authentic Foods' product line. I can think of two reasons 1: a proactive celiac or two, but I don't know which ones live up here 2: It's the closest grocery store to the culinary academy and so they carry more gourmet type stuff (though honestly, I see more of the students in Wal Mart :lol: )

I remember HEB from back in the day (used to live in Austin)... actually I remember that the owner was named Harry Butt & my brother & I found that endlessly amusing... unless that was just an elementary school myth?

OMG, her last name's BUTT and she not only keeps it, but HYPHENATES it....and it sounds way too close to...you know....

ROFLMBO @ the names!

I looked at the flour@ Amazon and choked on my cofee with the price! :blink: I am going to try it with my beloved sorghum flour and see how that comes out first.

I just made her lemon coconut muffins. I subbed orange peel for the lemon peel and they still turned out great! This cookbook has lots of great looking recipes and I can't wait to try them.

Buy the cookbook. It's well worth the price. Annalise Roberts answered my questions promptly also. To me, someone who takes the time to communicate with those who have bought the book or are contemplating it, is much to be appreciated.....ssssoooo buy the cookbook. ;) She does use butter in a lot of recipes so if you are soy and dairy allergic/intolerant and don't have a suitable substitute than that would be the only reason I would question getting it. Shortening could probably be subbed for butter though.

I just wanted to chime in about this cookbook. I just joined the board yesterday, but I've had this cookbook about 6 months, and it's the best one I have. I have taken the coconut cake as cupcakes to several gatherings, and they've been devoured!! Everyone raves about them, and people have no idea there's anything different about them. The brownies are great too. I would encourage everyone to buy the book, both because the recipes are so good, and because the author has been so gracious!

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Jess270 · Posted

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck
