[Guest guest]

For those of you are who are gluten intolerant, or allergic to wheat, you can make your own flour from any grain, including rice.

Rogene!

That would be great for me if I could find the time and my mind.LOL

You know that I ate pasta and cereal and bread everyday for 25 years

then after implants become allergic to many things.Yes I and others

have thought it to be a Gluten thing but i tend to have reactions to

even the stuff they tell you you can eat.As of this last month I

also had to get rid of rice ,seems I have become sensitive to it now

to.So now the one food that kept me from starving now puts Hives all

over me ,too.I hope that all these allergies and reactions go away

after my explant.

One of the problems with the flour you purchase at the store is that, in order to keep it on the shelf, they have to put preservatives in it. Freshly make flour will go rancid in a few days if left at room temperature. Even the milk you buy has stuff added so it won't go bad quickly.

I found that my sensitivites all but disappeared gradually after my implants were removed. . . . They were not allergies. I was tested and found to be moderately allergic to ragweed . ., nothing else. The antihistamines I took for years because the doctor thought I had allergies caused a bunch of problems though!

Thanks for the link Rogene. A special machine would be much

easier. I use a food processor but it took some time to learn how

to get the right consistency. My husband taught me that I need to

pulse instead of press the button for so long...I ended up making

nut butter instead of nut flour!

My husband has made wonderful muffins, waffles, pancakes and scones

from macademia, pecan, cashew and almond flours. Trader Joes sells

almond flour in packages...super easy but I don't think it's

organic. - PH

Not to mention probably rancid....it is important not to grind your flours until just before use. The reason is that all nuts and grains have oils, and these oils can become rancid quite easily. All oils become rancid when exposed to heat, light and oxygen. So, the best way to produce healthy, fresh flours is to grind them just before use, and keep the nuts stored in an airtight container in the freezer. In fact, almost all oils should be stored in the refridgerator, bought in small bottles that you will use up fairly quickly, and the bottles should be darker, not clear. I know most oils are not sold in the proper packaging, so be careful when you purchase them. Coconut oil is about the only oil that can be safely stored on the cupboard--all others should be stored in the fridge. I only buy a few oils--olive oil, walnut oil for baking, and coconut oil. I avoid all others completely. It is this reason too (that oils go bad when exposed to oxygen for long periods of time), that almost all flours purchased at the store could be considered already rancid. Many times flours are bleached and deodorized so you can't really tell. But I can tell you from experience that the difference between fresh store bought flour and freshly stone-ground flour is very evident by smell!! Just a thought for those who choose to live on the extreme side of healthy lifestyle choices.....I know it's not feasible for everyone to grind their own flour, but for those who are interested, it's something to look into. There' s a good feeling in knowing you are getting the freshest food possible. And the machine I use is so incredibly simple and not time consuming. There is almost no cleaning (it is a stone), and the flour is ready in almost the same time it takes to dip the store bought

stuff out of the canister. Patty perfecthealth68 <perfecthealth68@...> wrote: Thanks for the link Rogene. A special machine would be much easier.

Thanks for the advice Patty. Where do you get a stone? I've been

thinking about grinding my own flaxseed too but not sure if my

processor would do it right. I've heard some use a coffee grinder.

What about you? And how do you manage to do all this cooking and

everything else in life...missionary work, writing a book, and all the

other things I'm not even aware of????

It seems my life revolves around purchasing, chopping, cooking and

cleaning. Do your kids help? I know it'll get easier as time goes on

but right now just making one meal feels like I've run a marathon. - PH

Hi PH, I purchased a Jupiter Grain Mill on the recommendation of the book "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon-- a great book for traditional food preparation and healthy eating. The Jupiter grain mill is manufactured in Germany, and has a hard granite grinding surface.. It has adjustable settings, in which you can crack grains, or make fine flour. I'm not sure how available it is anymore. I had to look hard to find this model. I use a coffee grinder for flaxseed. It works great, and is cheap. I have one coffee grinder dedicated to coffee for my enemas, and another dedicated to flax seed. My life is the craziest it has ever been! I really am not sure how I manage it all myself. We have 3 businesses and are working on expanding with several more, and I spend most of my time in the office doing all the accounting and office work, so I cram as

much as I can into a day. Most of the time I feel very pressured. It's not a very good thing for my health, but I have a very strong spiritual life that gets me through. I am happy. I also have to say that while I try to make sure we eat healthy, we do have our junk food moments too. (My kids do like pizza. We eat birthday cake on birthdays.) We have fun in our kitchen, and do things the old fashioned way. My kids love to cook and bake, so they help, and we use appliances to make things easier, such as a steamer for veggies and eggs, a slow-cooke/crock pot for stews and soups, BUT NEVER a microwave! They love raw milk, we grind our own flour, butcher our own venison (just did that this week) and we buy as much as we can organic. Beyond that, we live pretty much like everyone else. PH, when I was at my sickest, I know I could not have done all of the

things I am doing now. It took me a long time to get where I'm at today. I went on my first mission trip in 2003, over 5 years after my explant. It took me 4 years to begin feeling well again, so it was a long road, and there were many times that I felt so poisoned that I wanted to die. My life lacked energy and you know the story....things just continued to get better and better. You are experiencing it now too. You will get there one of these days. I did, so I know you can too. Then watch out because you will want to make up for lost time, and life will be crazy! But you will be so thankful! Patty perfecthealth68 <perfecthealth68@...> wrote: Thanks for the advice Patty.
