Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’m glad he’s doing better. If he’s of drinking age, he probably will want to avoid beer. So, I basically had the same problem and it wasn’t evident until the past 3-4 years. In the marine corps, I could eat and drink anything and it didn’t bother me, but for some reason once I got out, all hell broke loose. So I cut out most carbs and gluten and it’s a miracle. I don’t drink soy, oat or almond milk, either. I can drink regular milk all day long and actually crave it. No probs. The inflammation and pain is down in joints, stomach issues gone and headaches a lot less and weight down but I can eat a lot and maintain now.
I do miss bread, though. It’s the one thing I probably miss the most. I’ve tried a lot of recipes from many sites and I feel like this one is the best biscuit but I’ve realized I probably could make pancakes or waffles with it, as well. It uses almond flour. That’s your son’s new best friend. So here is the recipe and I use sour cream instead of cottage cheese and you can try different cheeses or add some fruit. I’ve been thinking blueberry might be good. I added 3 TBSP of butter because.. butter. LOL. I didn’t make the glaze because butter is fine on them. These are really good and if I could find a larger muffin pan (I use a regular one) I could probably make buns for burger or sandwiches. I don’t really like making them free-form on a pan. Tried and they were sorta sad. So just grease a muffin pan and use that for best results.

I use a lot of very low carb tortillas for different things. I’m hoping to try making them myself but I’m not a great cook so.. anyway, this recipe is easy.
Thanks for the recipe!
I've noticed when I eat more bread type items my headaches come back, my acid reflux lately has been crazy (throwing up every other week), and bloating. Since I've gotten in my 50's I have been having more issues with bloating to just about everything I eat now. I do notice that when I eat eggs though I don't get bloated. So I figured that it must be the flour causing most of my issues. Also pasta, white potatoes, and sometimes rice bloats me up.
I always thought the gluten allergy thing was just bs propaganda but guess I was wrong on that. So may have to try gluten free eating for awhile to see how I feel.
I thought the same way-that the gluten allergy thing was BS and a way for people to make money off of it with a wave of new product and another “disorder” they could profit from. Notice all the gluten free stuff? Only they’re twice as expensive and still loaded with bad stuff like chemicals and soy. So I went bare bones simple and started eating only fresh or frozen vegs, basic proteins, dairy and eggs and it was amazing the difference. Then I started trying the almond flour and I could have lived without it until I found some decent recipes. I made some brownies once!!!!! Pretty awesome. That website I posted (The girl who ate everything) has a lot of ideas. Anyway, see how it goes but I think you’re going to feel a lot better.
