I am impressed! I have been to so many gluten-free bakeries in several states and your goodies are much better. Most just offer cookies and overly iced cupcakes. Have always purchased but have never gone back for seconds. I used to be a pretty good baker. Presentation was not my forte, but the taste......still baking but I am like those lower level gluten-free bakeries. Just cookies and cupcakes. I have not even attempted working with yeast again.

Do not give up your dream yet. There has to be a way! Have relatives in CA?

Yummy! Your baked goods look so delicious.

I was going to suggest exactly what you said. Maybe you could get a job at a gluten free bakery in your area for a while and see what it is all about before taking the plunge on your own.

Be careful about sharing your recipes with them though. I'm sure you worked hard to perfect them. 

Maybe a bakery would offer to buy the recipes from you??? Or maybe you could create a gluten free baked goods cookbook and sell it.

Amazon.com lets people publish their books for digital Kindle download. Go to Open Original Shared Link for more info.

Your knits are adorable. Have you tried listing them on Etsy? I have bought probably 40 knit sweaters for my pups on that site.

Good luck!

Oops! I see they removed the name of the online retailer I mentioned. I didn't know I couldn't mention their name here.

Hopefully you will know which one I meant. The online retailer that makes and sells the Kindle.

Best of luck to you!

I was on etsy.com provably 3 years ago. I posted 4 sweaters, but nobody bought them, so I let it go. Currently I have 14 sweaters and baby dresses for sale. I'm planning to advertise them again on etsy under Simona's boutique (I don't know, if I can write my name here, if not, so remove it).

 

I wish from all my hearth that I could open a big gluten-free, cf, and nut free bakery and supply all you guys. Maybe using overnight delivery like Omaha, or Shari's (chocolate covered strawberries). I know that I would be successful. I have a "know how", but I need money and place. :angry: :angry: :rolleyes::)

Maybe one day....

We usually say it like Amazon. And that works. It's the ".com" part that makes it a link.

simona, every recipe i have ever tried of yours has been off the charts delicious!!  :)  and those sweaters are beautiful.  maybe try the farmer's market where you could sell both at once?  i wonder what the health code/criteria is for selling food at farmer's market.  i know we are allowed to sell canned stuff down here and the stall fee is pretty cheap.  something to try, anyway, and once you are out there, you can network and meet people who may be able to help you start something.  i have faith in your talent :)  good luck, whatever you decide.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
