I can answer we get wholegrain puffed rice from commonsense organics. Only contains brown rice.

Hi earthangel,yes,it's just plain puffed rice as mmecholet says.If you can't get it in Greymouth,it's readily available here in supermarkets in CHCH.Did you try making the rice pilaf ??Look forward to hearing if anybody tries the apple cake.:-)

Hi all, just new to being gluten-free.I have had blood test results that point to coeliac (as well as having family members that are coeliac).Before doing the biopsy to confirm, my doctor has said to do two months gluten-free, and re-do blood tests.After just one week I am feeling so much better :)There are a lot of great recipes here that I will be trying out, a big thanks to those who have posted recipes.
Does anyone have a gluten-free pizza dough that can be done in the breadmaker?I have written down the dough from earlier in the thread with baking powder, but would love a recipe for in the breadmaker.
Thanks, Jo.

Jovanb not sure about your doctor's advice - you are not supposed to go gluten free until AFTER the biopsy to check if you have coeliacs first.This is more accurate advice from a gluten specialist doctor.Going gluten free before the biopsy could skew the results.

Hi Jovanb, I just made yummy pizza tonite with the Freefrom Gluten & Yeastfree Packets of Pizza Dough Mixat Countdown. Just mix with egg & water & load your fillings on top. Easy as. No kneading or breadmaker reqd.

Yes very true,I have coeliac and stayed on gluten,.my tests came back positive,they also found it in my blood tset before I had my biopsy,but had to do the test to make sure and see how bad it was.

Hi, the doctor wants to see how I go gluten free for a while, because it will take months to get into hospital for a biopsy, so why suffer for months.I know I need to have gluten in my diet for the biopsy, so will go back onto gluten weeks before biopsy, once I know the date.I have already improved heaps being gluten free for a week, so not looking forward to having gluten again.Might be TMI, but my main problem was diarrhoea, up to 8 times a day, so I was mostly staying home as I hated going out.Just one week has gotten rid of that :)Also the stomach cramps have gone too, which were keeping me awake at night.

That's good Jovanb - at least you know now that you have improvement on a gluten free diet.I so get the not wanting to suffer for months until the biopsy.I was in your position and I went on a low gluten diet instead of totally cutting it out.I guess going back on a gluten diet for two weeks before the biopsy shouldn't skew the results if you have coeliacs and gut damage from years on a gluten free diet.Funny thing is with me I have symptoms from tiny amounts of gluten and diarrhoea (sp?) and had high blood test results but no evidence of coeliacs.Dr said though I can still develop it though.

Since our change in lifestyle on 4th Sept I have been eating what i want, not always the best food, but I have had no problems in nearly 8 weeks, when I changed my diet to be GF at Christmas I felt so much better, now I am wondering what on earth was wrong with me, and suggestions because I was so sick before the changes.

That sounds yum Melford. Back to Burgen bread. Not too great, the white loaf is too sweet and not suitable for a savoury spread. Despite the quote on the bag, it doesn't make a good sandwich.

The white onedoes however have good texture toasted......the linseed meal loaf is o.k. toasted andexcellent for constipation...say a couple of times a week ..we thought the fruit loaf was a bit blah !

For a really good gluten free sausage i would recommend Opawa butchery which is organic as well but slightly more expensive,we've had no probs with these.

I am also new to a Gluten free diet. I find breakfast the hardest meal as I used to love bread and toast.I dont really like the G.F breads so I have fruit and cereal.I got the GF pizza base (ready made) from Pak nsave and they were really nice. I would like to make a christmas cake but unsure what flour to use.

Mix well. Cover and stand overnight or preferably for 1 week, stirring occasionally. Preheat oven to 150°C. Lightly grease a 7cm deep, 20cm (base) round cake pan. Line base and side with double layers brown paper and baking paper Using electric beaters, cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flours and spices over butter mixture. Add fruit mixture and stir until well combined. Press mixture into pan. Smooth surface.
