hi herika - here are the soya milk ingredients All Ingredients are of Non-Animal origin
Filtered water, soy protein (4%), corn maltodextrin, sunflower oil [contains antioxidant (tocopherols)], cane sugar, minerals (phosphates of calcium, potassium and magnesium), Acidity Regulator (332), vitamins (B2, B1, A, B12), natural flavour, antioxidant (ascorbic acid).

herika unless I'm mistaken, the ingredients for the gf chicken croquettes are at post #1 - it's a recipe for them

another gentle bump

I would love to add to any gluten free thread. but I don't feel the confidence to add anything. I would love to talk further, but I can't as this is such a hot contentious issue, I don't want to ruffle feathers. Cathy

hi cathy - please do add to the gluten recipe thread as it is always nice to know what recipes turn out as the diet is so restrictive. I think it is up to the individual person to evaluate the recipe that is posted as to its suitability for their particular diet eg some people are sensitive to oats but many coeliacs tolerate them well as my daughter does.If I post a recipe it is gluten free, yes there may be some hidden gluten eg in instant coffee (as herika points out) but my daughter has suffered no ill effects so we continue to make the coffee loaf I have posted.

hi melford I dont find the GF diet that restrictive. I eat a great variety of fresh fruit and veges and meals.I cant have anything with gluten, cows milk or vege gums etc in it but I substitute these with rice and maize cornflours, goat or GF soy milk and just dont worry about adding vege gums etc.I find using different herbs and spices, Melrose Worcestershire Sauce and Braggs All Purpose seasoning gives me lots of variety in my meals. I use white rice, brown rice and rice stick noodles and sometimes packet GF noodles with different sauces etc. I use maize cornflour or arrowroot for any thickening too.As the weather improves there will be lots of veges coming onto the market to give variety and lots of ideas there.Check out the ~*Gluten Free Hints and Tips*~ thread for lots more ideas :)

More info from Dr. Fords website: Indiscriminate, repeated gluten indiscretions may eventually cause serious physical and neurological damage/psychiatric symptoms and study indicates higher mortality rates.
"Indiscriminate cheating patterns" on the gluten free diet, i.e., consistant occasional consumption of gluten on an otherwise gluten free diet, (pizza, birthday cake, croutons), may immediately or eventually trigger stronger physical or neurological/depression/psychi-
atric reactions than were experienced before the patient began the gluten free diet.

herika - you can't deny that your diet is very restrictive. It seems that every post that is put on here you find fault with it as there is something in it that you can't have.You insisted that soya milks were not gluten free (yet So Good is gluten free and now you use it yourself)Whilst I appreciate you need to be diligent with your diet my point is, not everyone has to be that diligent to be gluten free at a level that you do. It has got to the point I believe that other posters are fearful to post in case you come on and rubbish their post.

Go Melford go I totally agree, I am also Coeliac but I don't have to be extremely restrictive.

Edmonds baking powder states that it's gluten free also I notice our local PnS supermarket (where we buy most of our "dry stuff" plus rice milk but little else) now labels everything that's Gluten Free with good eye catching red signs. I personally think GF shopping, cooking and eating is becoming easier and it really doesn't need to be made to sound more difficult than it is. Especially to people just coming to grips with a new more restrictive diet. I have one 5 year old totally gluten free plus the rest of the family on a very low gluten diet (ie twice a week we eat Spelt flour bread or pasta). The main challenge is the extra expense. Thanks to increased awareness, online information sharing/resources and better ingredients available (in even "basic" supermarkets now) it has definitely got easier :)

PS thanks #1 for the recipe. I'm always looking for interesting ways to serve chicken - I think my kids will love those :)

And to add my own recipe. my kids often have pikelets (instead of bread) to make up their sandwiches. I melt about 1/2 Tbsp honey - add 2Tbsp good olive oil, mix well then beat in an egg and 2/3 cup of ricemilk. Sift in 1 tsp G/free baking powder (not difficult to source) and enough GF flour or baking mix (I use a mix of almond meal/buckwheat/rice flour) to make a good "pikelet" consistency - the amount varies with the exact type of flour used. If the first one cooked is too pancake-like then add more flour!
Cook in a tiny bit of oil (ie just wipe the pan with oil) and turn when bubbles show through the surface.

bought some gluten free pork sausages that were delicious!check out delighthouse on the www .

melford every gluten free diet is restrictive in that gluten intolerant people cant have anything with gluten in it.But what I was trying to say was there is plenty we can eat. I only recently found out that the Regular So Good So milk is gluten free and I tried it and its great but as for the other soy milks that have barley in, I will continue to tell people that simply because some people, esp the ones new to the GF diet just dont know.Some Coeliacs are able to (or do anyway) eat things some gluten intolerant people cant, I know that, but I will keep mentioning what I do and pointing out certain things, not for you or people who do know, but for people who dont know. Lots of people have been very grateful for this knowledge and have told me so, but if the info isnt of any use to you then thats ok.I just like to inform people then they can make their own choices :)

i asked a lady at the supermarket (who was selling gluten free food) what was so good about being gluten free.Apparently it "bungs" up the bowels . so if you want to lose weight I guess we should eat more gluten free foods eh!

the lady at the supermarket obviously doesnt know much.For some people who already suffer constipation, the gluten free diet makes it worse, so its not good for those people !

Christchurch people - New World at Bishopdale now make spicy gluten free sausages that are wonderful on the bbq

hhhmmm I don't know why you would say herika that Coeliacs can eat some things that Gluten Intolerant people can't.seems to me that being coeliac cuts out way more than what people with intolerances can have.
At least people with intolerances can manage some level of allowance with eating gluten products.

herika, have you heard of the specific carbohydrate diet! (www dot pecanbread dot com) A doctor I worked for was helping some of his (Autism) patients implement that diet and they were getting amazing results. I just mentioned it because I remember almost everyone being unable to tolerate gluten, dairy (at least initially) and a host of other things, including gums which indicated it was more than gluten they needed to avoid. They use honey instead of sugar, and only any carbohydrate that is able to be broken down in the top portion of the digestive tract.

scd The specific carbohydrate diet is quite interesting, but quite restrictive. the site I have put below says it is for anybody with bowel disorders, even coeliacs. At the home page, it has a legal/illegal list you can click onto and a list of foods that are allowed etc. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/beginners.htm
