Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 ...I eat Corn on the Cob...is that a no-no? Dawn gluten free Sally, Since many of us target protein in our diets over carbs, it should be easier for you since most gluten foods are grain foods, ie carbs. You should both be on similar diets after surgery. My diet now pretty much consists of what it was before surgery, minus pasta, rice, and occasionally breads. For my family instead of cooking meat, starch and veggie, I cook meat & 2 veggies. The kids haven't even noticed, they think that I am giving them a choice in case they won't eat one of them! Eventually our stomachs heal and our eating patterns return to normal foods with minor restrictions (who else can't eat corn on the cob anymore!!, boo hiss). Keep those questions coming, b.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 , I hope my questions aren't driving people crazing. It is all so new. You can research the surgery well, but getting down to the nitty gritty of living your lives post surgery is another thing. You need this type of group or the Support Group at NWH, but that is only monthly. I think this email list is wonderful, and thank you all for putting up with my questions. You are helping so much. Sally P.S. If you find the right places or a Gluten-Free Pantry catalog which we receive and order from, you can buy gluten-free breads and pasta, rice flour which I have changed to rather than, for example, cooking two kinds of pasta at a time, so my husband needs to change as well.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Dawn, I too can eat an entire corn on the cob, no problem. It's not a no-no if your body's okay with it. - Alice A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 http://www.celiac.com/index.html <----- good overall site. http://www.samisbakery.com/index.asp <------ this is a Bakery in Tampa that servies alot of local health food stores. They have the best gluten free chips (millet and Flax) made with cinnamon. Great snack. I eat their millet and flax bread as well. THe best thing I have found..actually now, its one of the best crackers I have ever eaten, is the BLue Diamond Pecan Nut-Thins. They come in several varieties but they are thin, crunchie and taste great.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 , They just came out with a new machine that specifically for GF breads. Not sure of what modifications are made with it. I would imagine that the kneading cycles are cut down or eliminated. Gluten free breads don't really need to be kneaded. The doughs are too moist anyway, most of the time the dough is the consistency of a cake batter. The GF breads are the hardest thing to find that actually are worth eating. The only ones I've found so far that are good were either from Whole Foods or the Kinnikinnick brands. None of the other ones I've tried were worth a hoot. The Ener-G brand was one of the first ones I tried, I hated it. As my kids will tell you, if I won't eat it, nobody will. LOL. I'm pretty used to eating lots of really healthy items but most of the brands of GF sandwich breads I'd rather just do without!! The French breads and fruit type loafs are the best and easiest to duplicate. GF breads are going to be heavier. I've got a recipe that I'm trying this weekend from one of the other groups I'm on, that favors NT style cooking that's supposed to be really good, everyone on that group said their kids were eating it like it was going out of style. I'll post it in another message. Linn > > Do you home bake with a bread machine??? I picked up my first GF loaves of bread today at the health food store. They are much more dense and a lot smaller than regular loaves of bread so I think a bread machine wouldn't do...or would it? > > Be well, W > > > --------------------------------- > Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles. > Visit the Yahoo!
