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?

      Muscle Twitching

      By Yaya · Posted

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Biopsy results can be negative despite positive serum antibody results for these reasons: 1. Early onset of celiac disease. Inflammation has been happening for long enough to cause damage to the small bowel lining that is observable in the biopsy sample. 2. The damage is in the part of the small bowel lining below the duodenum. The duodenum is the part of the small bowel immediately below the outlet of the stomach. 3. The damage is patchy and was missed by the one doing the biopsy. A thorough biopsy would include several samples taken from different areas of the duodenum. Not all scoping is done this thoroughly, unfortunately. 4. The positive serum antibody results are caused by some other medical problem, food or medication that mimics the inflammatory reaction typical of celiac disease.
