Actually a couple will do, make a great gift for my dad for his birthday and Christmas. He's a great chef, so skill level doesn't matter. He's been to cooking school and even owned a resturant, but stopped when he moved.

I looked at amazon .com and there are so many.

In my opinion the best cookbook is Annalaise Robert's Gluten Free Baking Classics. Amazon carries it for 11.53 and it is a WONDERFUL cookbook. Everything I have made turns out perfect and gets rave reviews.

My favorite is Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster. It has various food allergy, gluten free choices for each recipe. So if you can't have one of her ingredients she suggests another. Everything we have made from it is just delicious! Enjoy!

The one I reach for most is "The Gluten Free Kitchen" by Roben Ryberg. Good, everyday, straightforward recipes :)

My favorite cookbooks are the ones by Bette Hagman, the gluten free gourmet. However, I must add that if your father is already a trained chef, he should have no problem converting his old recipes to gluten free status. I use the same flour blend for everything I make and I often use glutenous recipes and just sub my flour blend for all-purpose flour. I don't think I've had a major flop in almost a year, ever since I started using normal recipes again. Perhaps, if he's newly diagnosed, the yellow and black dummie's guide would be best, It's called something like Living Gluten Free for Dummies. That book is excellent for someone new to the diet.

Bette Hagman's The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast & Healthy is my absolute favorite.

Angie, what's your all purpose blend?

As to the original question: I have Annalise Roberts Baking Classics, Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Kitchen, Sheri Sanderson's Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids and Carol Fenster's Wheat Free Recipes and Menus. I have certain recipes from each that I rely on. I also have Bette Hagman's GFG Bakes Bread, but don't use it that often unless I need bread for stuffing or something (Ty won't eat bread).

Rebecca Reilly's "Gluten Free Baking" - she's a french-trained pastry chef. . .and mom to a celiac. Her recipes are flawless and so good that my family regularly tries to stop me from eating them. . .

I use Bette Hagman's rice flour blend: 3 parts white rice, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch... I add approximately 1 teaspoon xantham gum per 1 to 1-1/2 cups of flour blend. It depends on what I'm making. I've found that my pre-gluten-free recipes all turn out about the same when using this blend. Sometimes they even turn out better.

Thanks so much. I'm gonna see what barnes and nobles has and flip through before I order, not sure whether I'll use Amazon or not.

The dummies one he has, I got him as a joke, becuase we tease him that anything new he needs the dummy books.

Robyn Ryberg's is excellent because it uses simple, easy to find ingredients and everything I've tried has tasted great. And she's a wonderful person. The book's inexpensive and well worth it.

Sorry, I just get excited!

Betsy - how cool! What publishing company did you use?

Just a small local company - not a "real" publishing house or anything. But every time I look at them I'm shocked that I DID THAT! I mean, I make all the recipes all the time, but it's really impressive to me to see them in print!

I'm funny . ..

Oh I totally understand your excitement. I'm getting my masters in Publication Management, so I was just interested from that sense. Did you print a set amount of copies? Print-on-demand? Are you selling copies?

Sorry if I'm being nosey :P

Nope . . . not nosey at all! We printed 1000 copies, and will order more when we sell enough. We are selling copies - on the internet and through local health food stores.

We've contemplated seeing about going through a "real" publisher, which would probably increase the advertising scope (amazon, etc.), but would probably decrease the amount we would make per book . . . so we're not sure we'll do it . . . but I guess things can always change, huh?

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
