    I love bread and I haven't been able to find a wheat free substitute that I liked until today...

    Ener G Brown Rice Loaf

    I've tried other brown rice loafs and didn't like them much. This is pretty good. Even DH gave it a stanp of approval. I got it in the Organic section at Rosaurs (sp?).

    I am currently eating my second grilled cheese sandwich and thoroughly enjoying it. Especially since I know I won't have a sore tummy later.

    Cool!

    I haven't tried Ener G in a long time, cuz i didn't like it much before... or was it the tapioca loaf I didn't like? I dunno.

    I've never really liked bread, so I don't miss it much. (crackers, now, those I looooooove! and miss!) (ooh, and crusty french bread!)

    Very cool you found one you like!

    PIZZA!!!!!!

    I used Namaste pizza dough mix, with an egg. I added a little Barbara's Pancake mix (yeah, pancake mix!) cuz I put in too much water and the dough was too wet.

    Somehow, the 1/4 cup or so of Barbara's improved the Namaste 10-fold!

    Got a great pizza out of it! Baked the dough for 10 minutes, then added one small can of tomato paste, 2 chicken sausages sliced into rounds, and mozzarella. Baked another 8 minutes.

    SKnot and I devoured it like starving animals!

    There's one piece left for b'fast.

    MINE.....

    To those w/All things gut...

    See this:

    http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

    Get the Book. The science behind Ms. Gottschall's research is so, so cool. Fascinating & helps to understand why this maks sense.

    Also, be sure to check out this other site:

    http://www.pecanbread.com/new/scdfoods1.html#beyond

    for guidelines on stages of foods to introduce (didn't do that the first time & it made my first attempt very disheartening).

    Lastly (& keep a box of tissue handy for this one!) here is a (kinda long, 30 min. appx) lecture -

    http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.i...ine/elaine.htm

    scroll down & click on the right of:

    "Elaine speaking at the Dan conference in
    Boston April 2005 THE GUT, BRAIN, DIET CONNECTION":


    It REALLY explains stuff, easily understood though.

    It's like sitting in an open biology/chemistry university class. (again, even I understood it & I was an english/arts type gal).

    Best partof this eating plan? It's NOT for 'forever'.

    Banana pancakes: very ripe bananas (2-3) & 2 eggs. Buzz for a sec in blender - or by hand, but blender is smoother - not too long, keep thickish...
    Butter in pan, off you go...

    Alot of carb grams, tasty as heck, excellent cycling breakfast.

    Another thing (in the book) : "DCC Cheesecake" - Holy moly! Eat that for breakfast & I'm like, "snack? Why is everyone breaking for a snack?" LOL!
    Just ensure that you have alcohol/sugar-free vanilla extract btw. Frontier brand vanilla meets those specs.

    I was the world's least likely to cook before this. Shocking, even I can do this.

    pm me if u want.

    I'm not related or involved with anybody from this book etc., btw. This is strictly a personal post. Just to add a postive idea: the potential exisits for the future: back to 'normal' foods, choice...

    Just trying to help, sharing something that is of value to me.

    Just took a quick look (will have more time later) and ran across the info about links with autism and neuro issues. All the celiac boards talk about this, too; and the celiac "brain fog".

    Not that one causes the other (nothing is ever that simple, darn!) but the more aggravators you can remove from the system, the better the system functions.

    Banana pancake recipe sounds YUMMY!!!

    Just realized my web site has a few gluten-free (but not always nut-, sugar-, dairy- or egg-free) recipes on it.

    http://www.christmas-baking.com/chocolate_roll.html Let yourself eat flourless chocolate cake with whipped cream filling! And did you know there is soy whipped cream in a can if you're dairy-free?

    http://www.christmas-baking.com/haselnussbrotchen.shtml meringue cookies with hazelnuts

    http://www.christmas-baking.com/macaroons.html meringue cookies with coconut

    http://www.christmas-baking.com/zimtsterne.html meringue cookies with cinnamon and almonds

    HTH. I had gestational diabetes and am now insulin resistent, so I'm always happy to help anyone with a dietary restriction.

    Wahine and Knot, I actually found a bread I absolutely love (although I hate the $4.49 price and that it's 120 calories a tiny slice).

    Food for Life Almond Rice Bread. Toss two frozen slices in the microwave for 30 seconds, toast 'em, put on a slice of lactose-free Cabot cheese and some tuna, and I'm in heaven. (Hey - sometimes it's the simple things.)

    Well, I tried a different health food store and found almond flour and hazelnut flour. Of course, I can't remember what I'm supposed to make with this stuff, so hopefully I have the other ingredients for the recipes.

    So far, I have found that the diet the ND put me on, which is somewhat based on this book, but I am allowed rice as my only grain, has not been helping much, especially with my energy levels. I am running out of patience, so this week I hope to find a few things that I can easily make that fit this diet.....and we'll see. I'm nearly ready to go back to my raw vegetable eating, whole grain eating ways!

    Thanks for the timely posting of this info before I had already changed!

    Hugs and butterflies,

    OTG, I checked out one of our local little health food stores, and found a gluten free graham style cracker mix! I found a link to the brand of foods:
    http://www.kinnikinnick.com/index.cf...013300434.html
    They have lots of gluten free products that look pretty yummy!

    See if you can get this brand where you are....

    LBTC, thanks for the link. I was told about it at a celiac support group meeting last night (where I bought about a billion baked goods to freeze). I didn't know how to spell it, though.

    I do have to look for some sort of graham cracker substitute. I gotta figure out a way to make smores for camping this summer.

    I'm hopping on the wheat allergy boat here, too.

    It's only been a few months since I found out, and as a student I cannot sustainably afford GF food.

    I am also vegetarian--just to make it a little trickier.

    Since I cut gluten, I have gained some serious pounds as it no longer HURTS to eat.

    Think I'm just gonna suffer through the pain of wheat this summer, as there are no GF-friendly grocery stores near where I'll be living.

    It's good to know what causes the pain, though, even if I'm not much in a position to rectify it!

    How is your GF diet going, Offthegrid?

    If you cook for yourself it is much easier and cheaper, and you won't need to search out a special gf-friendly store over the summer.

    tortilla chips, potatoes, rice cakes, and rice fill my "bread" space.

    rice pasta fills my "pasta" space.

    Fresh fruits and veges.

    Your vegetarian diet won't need to change, just stay away from TVP and Seitan. (Seitan is Evil! there is a t-shirt for celiackers that says that!)

    Oh, and don't lick stamps or envelopes... that glue is gluten-based.

    True, true... it's probably just that dark defeatest just-before-exams part of me lamenting over the whole ordeal.

    No homework will eat my life over the summer; just a mere 40-hour work week! Much as I will miss cereal and rice bread, I will have the TIME to cook.

    And damn, I LOVE the taste of envelope glue! Now I'm gonna be the creeper going around asking people to lick my envelopes for me.

    I probably missed it because there were a lot of posts to read, but I'm wondering about ON THE BIKE energy. I'm diagnosed with Celiac (confirmed via biopsy, genetic testing and IgG marker testing)-very sensitive, unfortunately. Had to get my own toaster at work, can't bring my own crust to a pizza joint, etc.

    I saw a lot of discussion about wheat, but Celiacs cannot have barley or rye either. Also, oats are not ok as most are grown and sorted/stored with wheat and thus are contaminated. (Had to go to Mayo because I was non-responsive-the theory is that non-responsive Celiacs have a higher incidence of a deadly form of cancer, so had to get that ruled out).

    I was diagnosed last July and just got the news today that my IgG marker is now close to a normal person's. This means my body has just stopped attacking my intestine and now I can start healing.

    But I've been cycling (a lot!!) through it all. The problem is that I run out of energy at the hour mark. For whatever reason, I can't seem to access those stores you get to after the hour mark. And I can't seem to find much to consume to get the serious energy I need. By that point one is well into 500+ calories an hour; a serious defecit!!!

    So, anyone here actually have Celiac and race? (not consuming wheat's tough-not consuming that plus barley, rye and oats is horrendous). If so, how do you get energy in while you ride? I'm set to try racing; how do you get calories while you race? What about distance riders? I'm set to try my first Century on Sunday and I'm sick to death of doing orange Gu and peanut butter nutrition bars (the only gluten free bars I can find). I tried Lara bars, but they seem to give me no energy.

    Help!! I don't know any other serious cyclists who have Celiac, so I have no resources for the dangerous level of bonkage I'm getting into (I tend to forget where I am and how to get home when I bonk-and I bike alone a lot-so it's not just a matter of performance for me).

    Thanks-I hope someone has some suggestions!

    Lynne

    ack!! Have to change my signature!! That was before I was diagnosed...I loved cheesecake and pizza. Yep, this has been difficult.
    I get to have pizza after this, right? No...wait...cheesecake....
