Hello, I am pretty new to doing this gluten free thing (about 6 months). I am going to Cuba soon for my best friend’s wedding, and I have no idea what I can and cannot eat there. I hear that because Cuba does not have much money they don’t hide gluten in everywhere like we do where.

Please any help is needed, what you feel would be safe and what to stay away from. I know to stay away from the stuff like bread and pasta. Would I have to worry as much about CC as we do here ???

The only good thing of this is I am one of the lucky ones I guess you can say that does not get sick when I eat gluten (I know on the inside its doing a lot, but I don’t get sick at all).

Anyone been to Cuba with any advise would help me A LOT

Thank you

Soo my brother a is a chef and his girlfriend is a baker, needless to say i lucked out!

She made me this Banana breed the other day and AHHHH it was soo good. Better then "normal"gluten free bread i swear ! I dont know where she got the recipe but i am happy she found it thats for sure.

Here is how to make it. I know there is a lot of stuff in it that we don't normally have but try it please

1 cup quinoa flour
1 cup ground almonds (or any nut you like)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cardamom
pinch of nutmeg
1 cup pf sugar
pinch of salt
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup of melted butter or veg oil

Heat oven to 340F
Mix wet ingredients and dry ingredients together, without over mixing. Pour into a greased loaf pan, and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes clean

Enjoy, I know you will

soooo i went to the doctors a few days ago because i was getting fed up with a rash i just got around my nose that wont go away. She told me its a form of perioral dermatitis and due to having being a celiac. ugh . She also said there really isn't anything we can do to get rid of it, but its soar and gross.

Does anyone have this issue and know to get it to go away?

Any help would help!!
