We are strictly gluten free inside the home, but I do allow some of my kids to have the occasional pizza at school, or cake at parties.</p> <p>I've been told two conflicting opinions on this topic... my doctors have told me not to worry about being too strict on diet for the kids not presently showing signs of Celiac; that I might in fact cause an intolerance to wheat unnecessarily. On the other hand, I've had a friend with Celiac disease, who has done much research, that all of my kids are "ticking time bombs" and need to be entirely gluten free their entire life; sypmtoms or not.</p> <p>Does anyone have any advice? </p> <p>Thanks so much,<br /> Lori </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/reaction-to-almond-flour#post-593 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:45:05 +0000 selkie 593@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> Has anyone noticed GI reactions- digestive issues- with the almond flour? I have the Honeyville flour and it IS certified gluten free now (I'm Celiac) so I'm not worried about that issue. </p> <p>I wanted to try the cookbook after reading Elana's comments about her reaction slightly to most grains- that they make her feel sluggish and low energy, affect digestion. That sounded like me, so I thought.. hm, this could work. </p> <p>What I've noticed is each time I've made a recipe with the almond flour (apple muffins, muesli bread, raisin bread, scones)- I have problems for several days. I gave away most of the muesli bread after having two pieces, wanted to avoid potential problems. Without getting too graphic- I feel as if I've eaten cement, or paste- everything slows down digestive-wise for several days. The baked goods taste fine (I also have made pear crisp, which is minimal amt of the flour- and it didnt'bother me). </p> <p>My other concern is .. if a person is gluten intolerant and/ or has multiple food intolerances..then switches to baking only with almond flour- how likely is it they will develop an intolerance to almonds. I would think it might be quite possible. I went off dairy at one point, switched to soy, then developed a soy intolerance. My naturopath told me to rotate stuff- that the way a person develops food intolerances is to eat the same thing over and over. I already drink almond milk and love it. And fyi I already asked Elana this same question directly, as a comment below one of her postings- and I did not receive an answer. </p> <p>Would appreciate any feedback. I'd still like to try baking with the flour, but may have to do it only occasionally and see if the problem still happens. </p> <p>selkie </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/just-diagnosed-and-confused#post-3254 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:20:24 +0000 Tgludau 3254@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease 2 weeks ago.

However, after removing gluten she still seemed to be sensitive to foods she was eating. We did the ELIZA blood test and eggs and garlic were the two offending foods, both of which she ate a lot of. We removed those ~2 years ago and her chronic congestion improved significantly. Unfortunately, while overall her health as improved amazingly, she is still prone to congestion after eating some foods (can't isolate which ones) and she often has loose stools. </p> <p>So we're gearing up to try the SCD or Paleo diet with her for the month of February, as we have a strong gut feeling that she just doesn't tolerate grains well. I eat Paleo and think it's an amazingly simple and sustainable way to eat. BUT, I am having a really tough time imaging pulling it off with our daughter without giving her eggs!

Initially, I have had a lot of success in going gluten free, but I am finding that my body seems to be rejecting many gluten-free grains as well. For the past couple of months I have been eating a fair amount of brown rice (no gluten of course), and my guts are an absolute mess. I am working with a nutritionist to pinpoint the exact problem, and I have, up until this point, done well with a high raw, plant based diet. Currently, I am having some sort of major reaction--my tummy is blowing up like a balloon with almost everything I eat it seems, but is calmer if I eat only protein and plants--no grains. I am having crazy constipation, and it feels like my intestinal area is really inflamed. I feel really unwell, and am trying to figure out the best course of action for me. Do those of you with celiac tolerate other grains (I realize that this will vary)?? Obviously, I will be heading to the doctor if this doesn't clear up with work I am doing with my nutritionist. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/freezing-almond-flour-cakes-2#post-2974 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 15:16:56 +0000 steffy 2974@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>I need to make a fancy birthday cake, but due to my schedule constraints I am planning on making the cake on a Mon/Tues, freezing it, decorating on Thurs/Fri to serve on Fri/Sat. </p> <p>I know 'normal' cakes freeze without trouble... but do Almond Flour cakes freeze well??</p> <p>(I'd like to make it a chocolate cake.)</p> <p>Anyone have any experience or suggestions?? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/what-makes-muffinscupcakes-stick-to-their-papers#post-2827 Wed, 18 May 2011 18:34:25 +0000 redsd 2827@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I made a batch of Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins today, and they are stuck to the muffin papers.

I'm afraid I might buy something else inadvertently with the same ingredient.<br /> I made your chocolate chips scones last night and they are delicious!

I usually store crackers in the pantry, but these have eggs in them and some of them didn't come out quite as crisp as others.</p> <p>Are these best stored in the pantry? I'm afraid if I store them in the fridge, they'll get soggy.</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Shawna </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/substitute-for-agar-flakes#post-2338 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:22:10 +0000 MaryinNH 2338@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I'd love to make the pecan pie for Christmas Eve and am wondering if I can substitute arrowroot powder or corn starch for the agar flakes. If so, in what proportion? I believe the recipe calls for 2 tbsp's of agar flakes.

I'm assuming everyone on here has felt the same things I am going through now. A friend suggested this site to me and I am really enjoying the posts and reciepes. My problem is finding places to purchase gluten free products. I live in South Jeresy and my local grocery store (Shop Rite) is leaving me hungry and frustrated. I have heard I can shop online for many products, does anyone have any suggestions for a secure site to shop from at home? Any information anyone could send my way will be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you,<br /> Christina </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/cakepops#post-2383 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 15:09:31 +0000 anjilly 2383@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>i just noticed elana mentioned cakepops on her menu, and have been wondering lately if there is a gf no sugar method ,looking for a recipe for these..thanks </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/gf-oatmeal-raisin-cranberry-cookies-dinas-cookies-revised#post-2381 Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:33:08 +0000 Hunters Baker 2381@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I have been searching for a GF Oatmeal Cookie recipe for my little guy for some time and after revising Dina's cookie recipe I found one.

We have ground almonds and I find that these are used a lot in gluten free cooking so would I be right in thinking this would be the product to buy? They are ground very fine and look like the pics I have seen on this site for almond flour... any advice appreciated :-) </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-may-help#post-2278 Thu, 25 Nov 2010 05:05:02 +0000 MaureensMenagerie 2278@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi, just a quick note... was looking around the net for Thanksgiving recipes. So, as I get out my tools of the trade and go over the sites I bookmarked.. I find yours... and went to read "About You" and about your son...</p> <p>My son, Anders, is 19, he has RP, has lost most of his vision, it came on rapidly last year. Since, we started with acupuncture, we have 3 different Acupuncture Physicians under our belts now, Weidong Yu in Vancouver Canada, Per Otte in WV, he also recommends these super duper vitamins from Progressive Labs in Irving, Tx. And, Pran Mumma, in Dade City, Florida... He recommended Anders learn Qigong for better oxygen in his system, and through this group we ventured into the Whole food blending, (just got my Vita Mix and love it!)</p> <p>Now, our current therapy -- we fell into, by way of an article in a local paper, Osprey Observer, their September 2010 issue. An article about a fund raiser that was held for a young lady, -- It was to help her, so she could get her own Hyperbaric Chamber. I gave this organization a call and two weeks later we started HBOT. Anders is on his 32nd "dive"... and his is complaining he needs his glasses changed again.. so, that's a good thing! ... please look at the web site "Chamber of Hope", it's in St. Pete, Florida... Just take a bit of time and read his site, and maybe the papers article and research a little... </p> <p>It's time for ya'll to come to Florida! Please, give Mark Fowler a call.</p> <p>Have a blessed Holiday!</p> <p>Maureen in Riverview, Florida ... :)<br /> now.. back to my relish ... yum yum </p>
