Help!!! Not coping Gluten Free!

[LionsandBears]

How are you going with GF adjustments.

I've finally found a GF bread recipe that tastes good. I got it off the Quirky Cooking blog. She got it off somewhre else and adjusted it for the TMX. I was really intimidated by it but when I finally made it, it was easy. She has a link to the original non-TMX recipe in the blog.

Btw-did you know most bacon & other smallgoods contain gluten? I didn't i'm now having a hell of a time trying to source GF, nitrite or nitrate* free bacon. I also didnt realise normal cornflakes contain gluten. Learnt that when I reacted.

I've had a few fails trying to do a direct substitute with GF flour when baking but I'm reading more about different flours. I now have loads of different GF flours taking up a shelf in the laundry as the pantry is full. At least I can make things like rice flour myself but I can't make potato starch or sorghum flour.

I have a great recipe for bircher museli. I make a big batch and store it:
1cup each of quinoa, amaranth & buckwheat
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/3 cup rice bran

When I want to make some I spoon out about 3-4 tablespoons, add some sesame & linseeds, cranberries or other dried fruit or fresh berries, cover with apple juice. Had about 1/2 cup of natural yoghurt. Cover and leave overnight in fridge. I then might add a spoonful of honey or maple syrup before eating. It's really yummy and so nourishing. A great source of protein and other goodies.

At first I really resented having to be GF. It makes eating out a bit more difficult. But eating gluten products just isnt worth it to me. I've also found loads of cafes etc have GF bread or I go without when having brunch or whatever.

I hope you're adjusting better.
