Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Good info..for we who eat GF

Hi,

I also have to eat wheat free (although I am not celiac) as it makes me feel very sick. Would you recommend using potato flour as a thickener rather than a bog standard gluten free flour mix (ie Doves). Just wondering as I am going to attempt to make a fish lasagne tomorrow with wheat free pasta (had bad experiences with this in the past - the corn ones are revolting!), white sauce using rice milk. Can't have tomatoes or onions or red meat (or soy - so quorn mince is out), so a traditional lasagne (my favourite bofore I got ill) is just not going to happen!!! Not sure what the final result will be - gorgeous or completely revolting!

By the way - there are some brilliant recipes for gf food in Antoinette Savilles cookbook (I particularly like the double sticky ginger cake). Heathers recipes are great, but often don't work as well using GF flour, although the fruit breads seem to be OK if I add a bit more liquid and/or use half the amount of eggs with yolks.

Any gf cooking tips would be much appreciated though - and one day I'll get around to posting my brilliant gf/wf yeast free bread - which my partner loves, even though he can eat wheat!
