Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 We aren't casein free at the moment. Cassein is dairy products, milk, cheese, etc. The proteins in cassein are very similar to the proteins in gluten and therefore supposedly cause the same problems.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 We had tested last year for Celiac disease. He came up negative so we waited about a year to try the diet. I'm really glad I did. loriann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Hi. I'm Celia and I am also new to this e-mail list. We are looking for someone qualified to diagnose asd in our 15 year old son with Down syndrome. I read about the cassein-free bread recipe and wondered what cassein is and why it's important to not have it. taylors22@... Re: going gf/ bread recipe Well, here's the one I use. I got it off another list, and unfortunately can't credit the original author, as I don't have the header of the email. She said her husband adapted it to work in a bread machine, and that's what I use, so it's a bread machine recipe. 2 cups GF flour (see below) 3 Tbsp sugar 2 tsp xanthan gum (I use guar gum) 1 tsp salt 1 cup milk, warmed for 1 min. in microwave 2 Tbsp oil (or use butter, just barely melted in the microwave) 2 eggs 1 tsp vinegar Put these ingredients into your breadmaker in whatever order it requires them and bake like any other white loaf. GF flour mix 2 parts white rice flour 2/3 part potato starch flour (not potato flour) 1/3 part tapioca flour Here's what I use: 1-1/3 cups white rice flour 1/2 cup potato starch 1/4 cup tapioca flour I end up using slightly more than 1 cup milk, and slightly more than the 2 tsp guar gum (I slightly round each tsp). I think it would work better with just one rising, but my machine is not programmable. I does fall a little when the baking starts, but the texture is great. I also use the dough cycle, then after the first rise I spoon the dough into pot pie tins for hamburger buns, and regular size muffin tins for dinner rolls.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Loriann, I will have to look into this more. We had allergy testing on Matt when he was not yet walking, (around age 15 months), and he was allergic to milk. Before that, we knew that he was lactose intollerant. (regular formula produced killer gas in a 5 lb baby-I'm sure you heard the headlines in 1990!) So the allergist suggested that we keep him off of milk until age 3. We pretty much followed his advice, then introduced milk. We noticed that Matt still was lactose intollerant, and still is, as the higher fat stuff really produces excess gas. He can drink one glass of skim milk a day with out much problem, but if he gets into the 2%, watch out. Same for ice cream. The funny thing is that he really doesn't like much in the way of milk products. Except vanilla ice cream, which he usually loves. As long as it is the cheap stuff, not anything like " Graeters " (Great ice cream from Cincinnati) " Ben and Jerry's " or any of the premium ice creams, he is ok. Fine with me. Pizza doesn't seem to do anything to him, (From the cheese), and he really doesn't eat any other cheese. I'm still thinking about going gluten free. I have to think a long time. (Or else I think slowly-- Probably the case) S On Tue, 2 May 2000 06:34:59 -0000 " Lori " <hsmyangel@...> writes: > We aren't casein free at the moment.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2000 Report Share Posted May 15, 2000 This is for a bread machine, and a 1 pound loaf (1.5 pound in parenthesis): 2 (3) cups flour mix - see below 3 (4.5) Tbsp sugar 2 (3) tsp xanthum gum (I use guar gum) 1 (1.5) tsp salt 1.5 (2.25) tsp yeast 1 (1.5) cup(s) milk, warmed in the microwave 1 minute 2 (3) Tbsp. Oil 2 (3) eggs 1 (1.5) tsp vinegar. Put these ingredients into your breadmaker in whatever order it requires and bake like any other white loaf. Flour mix: 2 parts white rice flour 2/3 part potato starch flour (NOT potato flour) 1/3 part tapioca flour for 1 pound loaf, the measurements are: 1-1/3 cup white rice flour 1/2 cup potato starch flour 1/4 cup tapioca flour for 1.5 pound loaf: 2 cups white rice flour 2/3 cup potato starch flour' 1/3 cup tapioca flour IMPORTANT NOTE: The most important thing is to mix the dry ingredients (except for the yeast) well in a separate bowl before you add them to the bread machine. Then add the yeast on top of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
