Thank you, Scott! I think as usual I am behind the times. You are right, bread machines don't seem to be the rage they were several years ago. It's been at least 10 years since I've used mine and actually gave it away a few years ago because I knew I wouldn't be using it anymore. I liked using mine because there was so much more variety of breads to make...

Has anyone found a bread machine that you are happy with and makes really good gluten free bead? I really miss baking my weekly loaf of bread and it would smell so delicious.

I was diagnosed and have been eating gluten-free for 10 years - things were fine until a year ago when I developed diarrhea and then constipation and other unpleasant poop symptoms which persist right up until now. I had a colonoscopy 8 months ago and that was fine except for one polyp which was removed. Blood tests for celiac were negative. Because of...

Can you get DH as a new symptom later on?
JaneWhoLovesRain replied to cristiana's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Honestly, when my rash was at it's worst (or even it's best) there was nothing that helped. It hurt, itched, stung, burn; even taking a shower was extremely uncomfortable. I used a benadryl topical spray to help with the itching and my doctor told me to use cetaphil soap which I did. The benadryl helped somewhat. Not sure if the soap helped but it didn... -

JaneWhoLovesRain replied to cristiana's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Yes! I do love rain, and snow, which we are getting a ton of today. When I first developed the rash on my neck I went to the doctor and he said psoriasis. The must be standard answer doctors give for rashes that they have no answer for. I told him I never had posriasis before and he asked me if my parents had allergies. I told him my mother had hay... -
EZ Gluten testing
JaneWhoLovesRain replied to JaneWhoLovesRain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I did do a search for the ingredients of my prescription and most of them are a bunch of chemical names. The only one that looked suspect was "talc." But that's a long shot. If anything I suspect it would be some kind of cross contamination. I've thought of going to the pharmacist but most likely the response would be along the line of "the company doesn... -

I eat Lundberg rice and have never had a problem. The bag is labeled certified gluten free and I'm comfortable with that. I get their brown rice. I don't know if their other brands are labeled as such or not but it would be easy to take a look and see. Their wild rice blends may not be gluten-free (just a guess). Not sure what to say about the iodized...

The new gluten free Oreo cookies are delicious!!! Almost impossible to tell the difference between these and the gluten filled ones. The only thing I notice as being different is the size, they seem a little smaller. But it's been so long since I've had an Oreo that they may have shrunk in size over the year. I'm trying to limit myself to one or two...

I developed DH almost 2 years after going gluten-free. Turns out the puffed rice was eating (and it was in the gluten-free aisle) was processed in a non-dedicated facility and there was nothing on the package that said "gluten free." Good chance that there was cross contamination and that's where I got my dh from. I learned a lesson from that. Interesting... -
Hi - I just tested one of my prescription medications with the EZ Gluten test kit and it came out "very high positive" which surprised me. In looking at the FAQ's on the EZ Gluten site they say they can't guarantee the results for non-food items (such as meds, toiletries, supplements). I'm wondering if anyone here has tested their meds with a positive result...

Thank you, sure looks easy enough. I'm curious as to why using a peanut butter with oil, salt and sugar. I always buy without oil and sugar. Is there a noticeable difference?
-
Any good ones? I've tried a couple and as with most cookies I've made, they've failed. I can't use xanthan gum which doesn't help things. I need a cookie that holds itself together and doesn't spread out flat. I've even tried the trick of baking them frozen but still no luck. Jane

I knew there was no way I could get down the 48-64 oz of suprep or go-litely in an hour's time and then do it again in the morning so it was either give me something else or I won't have this test. I was prescribed PREPOPIK which was wonderful compared to the other stuff. Mix one packet in 5 oz of water and drink. Over the next 5 hours drink five ...

Any Issues With Kind Bars?
-
(yes, I know this is an old topic, but . . . .) I need to avoid anything with CHICORY ROOT or INULIN. This is one of the main ingredients used in fiber bars to get things moving along. The amount in a Kind bar is probably less than in a fiber bar but still is enough to cause a problem. I used to eat their peanut butter granola with no problem, then picked...

I love this granola as it tastes good and has so few ingredients! They have several different kinds but this is the only one that is labeled gluten free. Down below (taken from their web site) it says "certified gluten-free whole grain rolled oats." The actual package I have does say gluten free on the packaging but in the list of ingredients it says ...
