Try Kinnikinnick bread and bun mix. OMG it's sooo good! My dd and dh are Celiac and I just discovered this bread mix yesterday. I made two beautiful brown fluffy loaves. I sliced it while warm and spread butter and we all enjoyed it a lot. The ingredients have rice, potatoes, egg whites, and some other stuff but no wheat. I love bread but I could eat this GF bread for the rest of my life and never miss wheat bread. We are going to have Tinkiyada noodles with Kinnikinick garlic bread tonight for dinner. MMM! (Don't you love all the weird GF brand names! )

Holy cow- the only ingredient that we CAN have in those is the rice. No potato, pea, egg, maltodextrin, the other dextrose-s, or the possibly included soy, sesame, and tree nuts. Oh- and especially no butter.

Oh to be only gluten free.... (dreaming)

This is what I hate about gluten-free products. They so often include products which are (or can be) derived from wheat and don't list their source. Blah.
We're egg and dairy free here too, CS, so I sympathize (as much as I can, anyway).

I want ice cream and bread, and lasagna. I was following my DD's restricted diet for a while, then fell off the wagon. I think it made a huge difference in my chronic back pain, so now I'm doing it again, and it's only day #3, so I'm still in the cravings stage. It's horrible. You'd think it would be easy since two of my kids can't have these things, but I just keep thinking about milkshakes and banana splits, and pizza and lasagna. It's horrible!! I want to EAT!! So I'm making do with my flax granola bars that I made this morning that my 2 allergic children won't even touch.

Okay so I really want pizza too! Lots and lots of pizza
I keep making jokes to my two older sons that when Mommy is done nursing Jonathan some day I am going into a closet with a block of cheese, several pizzas, a gallon of milk and bagels and veggie cream cheese! They want to know if they can join me. I tell them yes, but they have to bring their own stash of food

LMAO. I have a list in my head of all the things I will eat. Giant brownies and milk. A big greasy cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake from Fuddruckers. Pizza is a given.

Btw, what allergens are you avoiding? I discovered that although I can't have wheat, I can have spelt...doesn't help if you have to be gluten free though of course. But I actually have a bread and pizza crust I can make (no cheese though so it's sort of bland no matter what I do). Aren't there some breads made with rice flour? Or tortillas?

Oh my gosh I'm starving now!!! Ahh, the smell of freshly baked bread with a heaping melting pad of real butter.......

Waaaaaaaah!!! I want carrot cake with real cream cheese frosting, cheesecake, a regular sandwich with swiss cheese, this list could go on forever!!

Unfortunately for me, I'm not on this diet for a LO.

Although I'm "on this diet for a LO", I have no known end in sight either. I'm not doing this for a nursling but an older child. I think he should be able to eat anything that's in his house. It's bad enough that when he "goes out there" he has to deal with everyone else eating stuff he used to eat and *loved* without coming home and eating something "weird" or "different" from everyone else. There's 1 exception: ice cream (because non-dairy ice cream is *expensive* and DH is an addict).
Maybe when DS1 moves out, I'll see an end. That's 10 years from now or so though so...

Yeah, a big mug of coffee with lots of cream. And Asian food. And bread that stays together while you eat it. That way of eating seems like a previous lifetime, like was it really me? Sometime I wonder of I can still cook ...just grabbing stuff and creating. I used to be a really good cook, but with the limited things we can have, the fun is gone. I just eat to survive now most of the time.

Sorry I made y'all hungry

I got my hair done Saturday and my stylist and I were talking food or lack thereof and it made me hungry for it all! We are peanut,wheat(GF),egg(both) and milk free. If it ever turned out that it was a lifelong allergy I would convert our whole house over too, but now the older boys really won't touch the GF stuff and I can't say that I blame them. We are all peanut and egg free though LO and I are corn and tomato free as we suspect them too.

We are egg, wheat, and dairy free (among other things). I found a great bread recipe in one of the Gluten-Free Gourmet's cookbooks. It's called Bette's 4-flour bread, or something like that. You can substitute Energy-G egg replacer for the egg, and margarine for the butter (I use Buttery Stick brand). It's based on tapioca flour, corn starch, potato starch, and garfava flour. We have a bread machine and make 1-2 loaves a week. Highly recommended! I would be extremely unhappy without bread!

What can't you have? I have a great recipe for carrot cake that has no corn, soy, egg, gluten, and a host of other things. And the frosting that I made with coconut milk yogurt and corn-free confectioners sugar tasted just like cream cheese frosting. Can I help you?

What is a Garfava? And can we have the recipe?

Garfava is a 50/50 mix of garbanzo (chickpea) and fava bean flours.

Sounds great! Can you buy the flour or do you have to mix the two halves?
I ordered the book from the library and it has to be ILL so it should be here sometime next week.
The recipe really does sound good. Thank you
