Hey guys!

I am fairly new to the gluten free stuff...I have been totally food gluten free since this past august. However my older brother who has celiacs disease for a while informed me my makeup and other products could potentially have gluten in them which will then enter my bloodstream and affect me. My question is I am having really bad...

Our bodies contain the same DNA as our ancestors from 6-10,000 years ago. Grains were introduced ~ 5-6,000 years ago. Hybridization has altered grains such as wheat, rye, spelt, barley. We do not have the DNA to break these grains down in our intestinal tracts.

Europeans discovered that when they used a 'sour' starter culture, which broke...

This blog is going to be my documented journey into a gluten free lifestyle; and my way of keeping myself responsible and accountable to myself. I love to cook and create recipes. As I do, I will add them with my blog so anyone who wanders in can use them.

I am so stressed from all of this confusing information I am getting. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago because I was getting very sick.

I must have been having stomach aches my whole life....

My cheeks are not as red either. But sometimes when i eat certain things i will still burn a little bit. So what else could be hidden that im...

I thought that the itching in my hands, stomach area, feet and toes was due to some rare, unmanageable peripheral neural damage disease. That's what my allopath doc says.

I'm learning slowly the limits to allopathic medicine: if the trouble is not a pathogen or some...

Hi guys,

I'm a chef that cooks gluten-free dishes from starters to desserts.


I'm not celiac myself but wanted to ask a question.


"What are the dishes that you miss because of being a celiac or on gluten-free diet? It can be anything!"


I ask this because I love cooking gluten-free: sticky toffee puddings, ravilois,...

It has been a while since my last post. I came home from medical school to think things over, but it has been the best decision for me. My head is screwed on straight and I am really focused. It has been an interesting few weeks. I came home to stay with a family member with Celiac, who was diagnosed 1 year ago. It is mind boggling just how little...
