postheadericon Chocolate Gluten Free Muffins

This was actually a Pancake recipe that I modified and made into Muffins. Enjoy! To be honest I was just winging it as I went so I will try to put down what I remember. If they don't come out to your satisfaction don't give up on the recipe just try again. I will notate my changes with a *** all the other items where not changed.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup potato starch
  • *** 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • *** 1/2 Cup Xylitol (Natural low glycemic sweetner)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • *** 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 cups water
  • You can add chocolate chips or nuts to make them even yummier. These are best eaten on the same day or you can freeze them. I always heat mine for about 30 seconds before I eat them as I find it softens them up nicely. Enjoy! You can add more sweetner or sugar if you like them sweet. To make these into Mocha Muffins heat up 1/3 a cup of the water in the recipe and add 1 tsp of instant coffee and then add to recipe. I think I probably doubled the recipe to get nice HIGH muffins.
  • Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 spray muffin pan
    1. In a bowl, mix or sift together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, dry buttermilk powder, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir in eggs, water, and oil until well blended and few lumps remain.

postheadericon Homemade Hand Sanitizer Recipe


A safe alternative for hand sanitizer.  I found my answer and it's cheap, effective and you can make it at home! I've been us Nutribiotic GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) for about 2 years. I make nasal spray with it to fight sinus infections, I buy GSE dish soap, I make my own capsule with the GSE gel and take it when I want to prevent sickness or nip in the bud and NOW I will make my hand sanitizer with it with the full confidence that this stuff works great and it's natural! Here is the recipe that I found for GSE sanitizer here is one place to get Nutribotic GSE or get it at you local health store and here is an online store for the gel.
Tell me if you try it out! I will go to my health store and pick up a little plastic bottle with a flip top spout for the sanitizer. Voila!

postheadericon False Negavtive Celiac Test

I saw this article today and I wanted to share it with you.  To read the rest of the article go to this Celiac Site  If you suspect you have Celiac never give up on trying new doctors or being retested over the years. My son is allergic to ALL grains, including rice. He is ony 3 I got him tested for Celiac and came back negative. I will keep him on a wheat/grain free diet so that hopefully doesn't develop Celiac.  I've also read if you have a biopsy done and they test a undamaged spot your test will come back false negative.  My grandmother was misdiagnosed until this year in her 60's she has had colitis for years and has had many health problems that may have been avoided had she been properly diagnosed.

All bold resoved or went into remission with proper diagnosis of Celiac November 2002
Some residual nerve damage remains as of 2006- this has continued to resolve after eliminating soy in 2007

Mother died of celiac related cancer at 56
Twin brother died as a result of autoimmune liver destruction at age 15

Children 2 with Ulcers, GERD, Depression, , 1 with DH, 1 with severe growth stunting (male adult 5 feet)both finally diagnosed Celiac through blood testing and 1 with endo 6 months after Mom

postheadericon Preventing Food Allergies

Here is some important information

Who gets food allergies? Can they be stopped?
Once you have food allergies, there are not any medicines that make food allergies go away. If you
are allergic to a certain food, the only way to make sure you won’t have a reaction is to never
taste, touch or even smell the food.
Moms who breast feed their babies might keep the babies from getting food allergies. Another way
to keep babies from getting food allergies is to wait to feed them foods that often cause food
allergies:
• Try to wait until babies are 6 months old before you give them solid foods. Wait until they
are 1 year old before giving them milk and other dairy (like cheese and yogurt).
• Toddlers should not eat eggs until they are 2 years old.
• Children should not eat peanuts, nuts or fish until they are 3 years old.
Talk to your doctor about a plan for introducing these foods.
