Xanthan Gum portions

Because I am forever losing this information:

For every cup of wheat-free/gluten-free flour use:

½ tsp. Xanthan/guar gum for cakes
1 tsp. Xanthan/guar gum for breads or pizza
½ tsp. to no xanthan/guar gum for most cookies.

Allergies confirmed

This is not a recipe, just an observation. We went to the pediatric GI specialist the other day and the allergies have been confirmed as severe food allergies. We did learn something new, though. Constant "accidental" contact or ingestion (cross contamination, accidentally touching or ingesting) could make the allergy WORSE! I was told in the past that we should continue it to see if there is still a reaction. The doctor told us that it could prolong any allergy that she may grow out. I found this interesting! A bit of "food" for thought...

Then he told me I need to turn into one of those neurotic moms that I typically can't stand! Lucky me!!
