Re: Gluten & Sugar Free Bakery w/ recipes for healthy living

[Guest guest]

Great site! I am also gluten free-started a few months ago. I found that I can

bake pretty good stuff as long as I use a recipe that calls for 1/2 cup of flour

or less-I substitute a gluten free flour with a bit of xanthan gum added.

(Xanthan gum is natural and gives cakes it's chewiness-1 teaspoon per 1 cup of

flour). Now that I'm looking I was surprised at how many good recipes don't need

alot of flour. I made incredible Death by Chocolate cookies! (be happy to share

recipe with everyone-email me!)

Question-can you tolerate oats? My doctor suggested I stay away from oats for

now but I want to try it.

I dont know if you are near a Whole Foods. They have a whole line of gluten free

products that are sweetened with friut juice and/or rice syrup.

I have hesitated with products containing fruit juice only

because I know many companies use older,bruised fruit when they make juice.

They don`t care what they use.. I do..

But thanks for the tip.

Don't know if this will be helpful but when I had a severe reaction to wheat one

day and I presume it was because of gluten I eliminated all gluten grains from

my diet except for oats because I read somewhere when I was researching gluten

that oats were found not to have gluten after all. Not sure if that's correct

but I never had a reaction from eating oats.

from what i understand oat sensitivity is personal-some people are, some aren't.
