I didn't realize in the past. If this new way of eating helps my knee, I will be doubly happy. :) I did try spaghetti squash and I agree it wasn't really exactly like pasta, but I added a little marinara, tomatoes, and grated Parmesan oregano cheese with a few pieces of Bruchetta on top and baked it and It was delicious! Oh and I just added the link to your Yummy Stuff Recipes on my post today! TG I found some cookie recipes over here to try!

I am glad that it is working for you.<br />I have problems with inflammation when I have wheat. Gluten intolerance is in my family.<br />Have you tried spaghetti squash? Not exactly like pasta, but close.<br />There are breads that you can make with almond or coconut flour. Not bad. A little different, but I like it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788170410517573651.post-24140406529271335742013-12-09T06:16:03.973-06:002013-12-09T06:16:03.973-06:00Laugh away!

I am on day 5 of no gluten I feel like I have so much more energy and this morning is the first time in I can't remember when that I felt like I have had a full nights rest. Not only that I have had problems with high sugar levels and with a diabetic family history as well as having gestational diabetes when I was pregnant that pre-determined me to get it at some point in my life. Last year I started having many symptoms so I now have to check my blood sugars daily when I wake up, before and after each meal and before bed. One thing that shoots it way up is I am a big fan of the pasta and breads. High carb intake is a problem for those of us who have to monitor our sugar. I can't believe that in these 5 short days that I have had no sudden rises after my meals. So I'm thinking that even if my test comes back negative to the sensitivity that I will probably stay with the gluten free.

Since there is no gluten, you have to add xanthan gum or guar gum or a mix of flax and water or chia seeds and water. Most blends have the xanthan gum added, but you have to check the label. For pie crusts, some people prefer not using the xanthan gum added. But, the egg is needed or it just doesn't want to roll out and it falls apart.<br />You know, you just made me think of something. Way back when I was in elementary school, our class made tree ornaments and took them to the nursing home to give to the residents and after that we sang carols. While we were singing, this loud crunch was heard. One of the old guys started eating his ornament.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788170410517573651.post-89181781358208469872013-12-06T09:41:04.086-06:002013-12-06T09:41:04.086-06:00Thanks for this recipe!

At the store I think I picked up the wrong flour. The flours are very confusing. I got stone ground rice flour and tried to make the biscuit recipe that someone gave me and they turned out flat and hard as stone. I swear if I painted them and hung them on my Christmas tree people would think they were made to be ornaments. :)Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788170410517573651.post-34360844718307384112013-11-17T15:45:39.604-06:002013-11-17T15:45:39.604-06:00Way to go.
