Gluten free / wheat intollerance

[winchman]

Winchwoman has been poorly and has to try a wheat free diet.
I have bought the breadmaker but we need a good recipie?
Any other Gluten free advice would be good, the doc thinks she is Wheat intollerent
I have tralled the local supermarkets, there isnt much selection and what there is is vastly over priced, but we have been told some foods are available on perscription?

Don't know if this is any good.

Contact York Laboratoires on the web. They offer a blood test service by post to test for food allergies and intollerances. My Ex found it very helpful. They can also provide a lot of useful tips and hints.

Good luck

Done the York test thats what showed it up
Just got up at 5am to have a bash with the bread maker ( takes ages) it smells ok but lets see, if its any thing like the supermarket gluten free bread I could use it for break pads :lol:

Go find your local organic shop and badger them to stock the wheat free breads from The Village Bakery. Their raisin Borodinsky is superb, if a little pricey.

Gluten-free, dry pasta is sadly quite poor though, but we just did more stirfrys with rice-noodles instead.

Rice crakcers are ace, and do work with cheese, providing you find the right rice crackers (suck it and see, dude).

Was there anything else that cropped up on the tests, or just the wheat? The Ex was lactose allergic and yeast and soya intolerant also, and that was a pain for eating out, but home cooking actually improved!

Cheers

:)  :) Hi winchman...my wife suffers from the same problem...you'd be amazed at the number of people suffering from this complaint...at last most Supermarkets are now stocking a limited amount of gluten free food but as stated,it is expensive.Our usual problem when we go out for a meal is to find restaurants which undertstand this problem but again as long as you let the Chef know in advance then usually this is not a problem...pm me if you want to know more...all the best
