    Thanks JessicaNYC, Kim69 and jdrexler for your replies. I'll speak to my doctor about doing the tests again in my next appointment. I also want to know how I've been doing - I'm 99.9% gluten free and I keep wondering if that 0.1% (possible cross contamination) is going to show in the tests or not. I'm lucky that I don't get any symptoms if I've accidently...

    Hi How many of you have gotten the celiac blood tests done again after being gluten free for 6 months (or a year)? My doctor hasn't said anything on this, but I've noticed that some of the forum members have done the tests again. So I'm wondering if it's necessary? Thanks!

    LOL.... I wish! Will look into Greek yoghurt... hope it tastes as good as it sounds! Back to my original question - how to avoid the belly fat? Is eating more protein and less carbs the best way? Thanks!

    Hi GlutenGladi8or You're right regarding protein - I've got more carbs and less protein in my diet. This is the current diet I'm on: Morning: 7 peeled almonds, 1 dried apricot, 10 black currants (all soaked in water) Breakfast: Two dosas (pancake made from rice flour and ground lentil) with a bowl of low-fat yoghurt. Snack in the middle: Bowl of...

    Hi GlutenGladi8or My stats: Female Age: 33 Height: 5 feet, 2.5 inches Weight: 99 pounds (was 90.2 pounds when I was diagnosed with celiac 8 months back) Thanks!

    Hi I've been gluten free for 8 months now. Finally started gaining weight around 4 months back, which is great considering I haven't been increasing my calorie intake that much. The problem is that I'm putting on weight on my stomach. So I'm thin all over with a bump on my belly - doesn't look too nice! I've read that we can't control where we put weight...

    Thank you all for your replies! I remember reading on the list of safe ingredients on celiac.com that MSG made in USA is safe, and MSG made in other countries may not be gluten free.
  8. blissfully-unaware
    Hi I'm still confused whether MSG contains gluten or not - haven't eaten it since I was diagnosed with celiac. I've been reading conflicting reports everywhere. I know MSG is anyways not good for health and hence, never use it. But I'd still like to know if it's safe for celiacs (so that I can safely eat Chinese food if I don't get anything else to eat...

    Thanks Takala and detritus!

    Thanks sa1937! Can I use guar gum instead of xanthan gum? Also, apart from these two gums, is there any other ingredient that can be used?
  11. blissfully-unaware
    Finally managed to get gluten free all purpose flour. But the pack says to add xanthan gum... I'm not sure if I need to add this? I just thought substituting the self-raising flour with gluten-free flour (plus adding extra baking powder) would be fine to bake a cake? Thanks!

    Thanks lamegirl, duncan'smom and THernandez. I guess I'll have try which combination works best.
  13. blissfully-unaware
    Thank you David. I don't get gluten free all purpose flour here in Dubai. I guess I'll need to combine some other flours to come up with a substitute. I had a look at your blog for baking cakes and they all look absolutely yummy! I hope you come up with an eggless cake receipe in future (I don't mind the egg in cakes, but other family members don't prefer...

    Hi I have a wonderful receipe for eggless carrot cake that I bake regularly. The receipe includes self raising flour and baking powder in the list of ingredients. What gluten free flour would be the best substitute for the wheat flour? Thanks!!

    Thanks Mike7. While 1 gram of proteins = 4 calories, I believe 2 calories are used up to break down protein in the body? So that will leave us with a net of 2 calories from 1 gram of protein. I do try to excercise for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week. I don't want to do more because I'm still not eating a whole lot. So losing more calories than actually eating...
