I have baked a chocolate almond cake from a recipe in this month's Gluten Free Living magazine (the issue is 2/2009) two times. The recipe author is Jacqueline Mallorca from her book The Wheat-Free Cook, Gluten -Free Recipes for Everyone. The main ingredients is almond flour, which is pricey, but it was really worth it to eat something moist and delicious. It was quick to make as well.

Would you believe it! I bought that magazine today at Borders and it's right here next to me on the table! :D

Have not had a chance to open it, but will definitely check out that recipe--it sounds fantastic!

You can get almond meal/almond flour at Trader Joe's for about $4 per bag. I use it in just about everything. It's not made from blanched almonds like the Bob's stuff, but it works quite good. I use it in lieu of breadcrumbs in a lot of things too.

Is the Trader Joes almond meal dark because the skins are left on? Just curious. Do you make things like breaded chicken with it? My kids miss that.

I DO make breaded chicken with almond meal. The TJ's stuff is dark because the almonds aren't blanched.

For breaded chicken, I use about 1/2 almond meal, 1/2 cornmeal and some Italian Spices or Herbes de Provence, garlic powder and salt and pepper. If I'm feeling clever, sometimes I'll throw in some Parmesan in there.

I use egg to "glue" the breading on chicken and fry it up in olive oil and butter.

The only thing that's not great is that it soaks up a lot of oil, so it's a bit fattier than I'd like. But it's a lovely alternative to Italian style breadcrumbs.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
