Re:Going Gluten Free - 2007/10/29 02:00
I'm working on reducing the gluten in our diet by transitioning most of our wheat usage to sprouted ezekiel products from Food For Life. (read about their products at http://www.foodforlife.com/ ).
I'm buying several flavors of their bread, and also cereal, pasta, and tortillias.
The products are made from a combination of sprouted beans, lentils and grain. The sprouting process itself practically eliminates gluten, as well as raises the nutritional value. The combination of beans and grain makes a complete protein. The products are also certified organic.
Fortunately, between the local organic buying club, and one of the local supermarkets, I'm able to buy them at an affordable price.
These products are so dense and full of fiber that they fill you up on very little, so you find yourself eating half as much as you do the conventional counterparts. Once you get used to them, they are delicious, but it does take getting used to the chewiness.
For oatmeal, I would recommend Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oatmeal. Most oatmeal has gluten, but that one doesn't.
For the stuff you bake yourself, try the Bob's Red Mill gluten free baking mixes. They are practically fool proof if you follow the directions.

I have had a really hard time baking myself. It used to be some thing I was really good at. But this is one of the successful recipes I got.
