Gluten Free High Fibre mix for constipation Mix 1/2 cup whole linseed 1/2 cup rice bran 1 tsp cinnamon. Add enough water, apple juice, low fat milk or soy milk to cover. Refrigerate Use 1-3 tbsp on your breakfast cereal, topped with yoghurt or milk. It tastes mild and slightly sweet

Thats a very helpful recipe but make sure you check the ingredients list on the back of the cinnamon, and all spices and herbs.Some brands have gluten in and some are made on a production line that also handles gluten containing foods :)

refreshing drink for hot days I make up a pot of green tea with two bags (about a litre of water, could add more bags), cool add add about 4 teaspoons of sugar to taste and about 120mls of fruit juice to give it a bit of flavour. Put in fridge and drink cold, with iceblocks if needed. Great after a big day digging the garden.

herika - I am sick to death of you coming in "sensoring" everything. For goodness sake leave people to check their own ingredients - butt out! That recipe was published by the specialists at the hospital especially for coeliacs (who incidentally no more than you do believe it or not) butt out!

what a great recipe cathy I might try it using Earl Grey or other herbal teas, just the thing in this hot weather :)

If you use Earl Grey tea make sure it doesn't have vanilla in it as it may contain gluten. Also check the labels on all herbal teas as some contain gluten

herbal tea The green tea I use, is just straight green tea. I got caught out once with a flavoured tea, I think it was lemon tea. Never again as I was sick as a dog.

Herikia, I would be careful of coconut as well, as a lot of it has been packaged on sites that handle gluten

Hi cathy thanks for that, I know how careful we have to be. It can be a pain but thats just the way it is unfortunately. :)

beetroot gone are the days when I can use malt vinegar for my home grown beetroot. Anybody know if dyc white vinegar will be okay! Anything else I can use!

I have been told DYC white vinegar is gluten free but I have tried it a number of times and have reacted badly each time so I can only suggest you try it and see what happens.I use cider vinegar quite successfully. :)

Curried chicken I use dyc white vinegar all the time. I've had no problem with it.It makes a damned good curry. Mix 1 dessertspoon of white vinegar, 1 dessertspoon of oil of your choice and 1 dessertspoon of gf curry powder. Heat mixture in the frying pan, then add one sliced and diced onion, 500g of cubed chicken and cook.Add water if necessary and thicken with maize cornflour if you need to. Eat with rice. Yummo. You can use the same curry for a vege stirfry as well

Twas a bad cooking day Made banana muffins, chocolate muffins that muffined, fruit rocks were perfect. But the piece de resistance (no) was the gf hats that came out of the oven. They were meant to be a coconut loaf that I thought I would make into muffins. But they spilled out and looked like bonnets in the end. Nice and crunchy. Anybody want my rock cake recipe! They are similar to the rock cakes that my mum made when I was little.

cathy I preserve with white vinegar and it tastes fine. I also use some of the water that the vinegar is boiled in too to improve the colour.

Wait theres more my chocolate muffins turned out looking like baseball caps. They oozed out. Another question, frozen bananas,they are so hard to get out of their skins. Would it pay to freeze them skinless, or just persevere with trying to skin them. Somebody mentioned they make nice icecream and I was thinking of that as I was peeling, they do have a consistancy of icecream when you mash them.
melford,

hi cathy - I freeze them with the skins on and when needed for baking I just pop them in the microwave just enough to soften them so the skins can come off easily
