Hi Susan--Good to hear you feeling so chipper! My rec. on the ice cream machine--get the Cuisinart. Several of us have it--it's very easy to use!

Patti-

can you ahve dairy? I think you can't so what do you use to make ice cream?

miamia

This is what I did Susan,

I used a steamer basket and put it in to a big enough pan (that has a lid) so the tortillas would be flat, filled the pan with an inch or so of water and brought it to boiling (make sure you watch the water level because you don't want tit to evaporate out and burn the pan) then once I saw steam rising from the boiling water, I placed a couple of tortillas in the basket and put the lid on. I steamed them just for about a minute or so.

Steaming makes the corn tortillas really moist and pliable, it doesn't dry them out, and I think it brings out the sweetness of the corn.

Happy Friday to everyone :)

Andrea, I love the new picture of the kids!

Donna, so sorry you had an itchy leg reaction :(

Rachel, very exciting about the rock climbing :)

MiaMia, I think it was you that mentioned you eat spinach? It is one of the major "big ones" on all of the foods that have naturally occuring histamine. Maybe you could try to go without it for a week and see what happens? Just a thought.

The spinach thing is definitly something I should try but its hard I have not found many vegees that I can tolerate and I was always alright with it- or so I thought .

I feel like I keep finding all these things to cut out but nothing much to add.

Thanks julie for the advice

I'm envisioning Karen, on an Oscar Meyer float, big bun and all ;) , with a necklace made of mini-Altoid tins connected together . . . and some really ummmm evocative, maybe, costume. I agree with the Ice Cream Man theory, and she could do one of two things . . . wear one of those "Change-maker" things around her waist (too mechanical, maybe), OR, as part of a Rachelville is a Wonderville theme, she could simply toss Altoids out to the crowds (all except the Cinnamon . . . ouch) . . . . She could have a crown, and wear the long white gloves, and wave like parade princesses do . . . . And, should someone become harmed in the mad rush to see the Altoid Goddess on Parade, then I can patch 'em up, and send 'em back out!!! Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!!

Dear Citizens of Rachelville:

As your resident Counsellor, I have decided that for morale purposes, we need to have a "City of Rachelville Citizen of the Year Award".

Attached is a picture of the trophy I have designed for such an award:

Does it get counsel approval?

Hi Rachelville friends! I just had to stop by an internet cafe and visit Rachelville, because I'm hungry and I miss the place where all the food is safe and happy and gluten and auxigro and everything else free! Grow me some food and have the geese fly it over! LOL haha...but it's okay...I'll figure out how to eat here! I even found a place today that sells Bumble Bars!

I don't really know what's going on in Rachelville, but I saw a box of altoids showed up :o and the population grew! My internet time's up.. gotta go!

:):D:)

Hi Miamia

How are things today? I have not used dairy in over 2 years. I use Vance's Dari Free. It's a potato-based milk substitute--it contains no soy, grain, nuts or gluten. It makes pretty good "ice cream!"

Patti, you have to try the Vance's chocolate milk. It tastes just like regular chocolate milk. Even my gluten eating granddaughter thinks it tastes the same. So yummy.

Hi Celia! Good to see you :D So, today's moving day? Sounds hectic--moving and being in "transition" is not fun. Hope everything goes smoothly ;)

Yep--I have the same Cuisinart as Vincent. Actually he suggested it to me :)

Robbin, I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a rough day yesterday. I can't imagine having a problem with my eyes--I guess I take them for granted. I hope that you are better this morning :)

Karen--That trophy is perfect :D

How great was it to hear from Mango? :D

Can't wait to hear about Rachel's softball game.

Andrea--If you get a chance to check in today, just want to say hi!

Hi to everyone--hope you all have a great weekend! :)

Patti, you have to try the Vance's chocolate milk. It tastes just like regular chocolate milk. Even my gluten eating granddaughter thinks it tastes the same. So yummy.

Thanks, Armetta--I should try it. It would be easier to make chocolate "ice cream" with it! I bet it also makes good hot cocoa :P I'm happy to see you posting. Are you doing any better? I've been thinking about you :)

Patti, I am doing better, but the doctor said this past Monday that I have a ways to go in the recovery process. I don't post long answers, but have started to again get into the forum.

Can you give me a link for the ice cream that you make? I only ordered a qt. of the chocolate and wished I had ordered more this last time. I really had no idea how great it would be. You are going to love it. Hugs.

I had vances a while ago - I can't remember how it sat. I still have some in my fridge- does it have a shelf life? I want to try it again but it may not be good anymore.

Armetta--I emailed Vance's and they got back to me with several recipes for ice cream. I printed them off, and deleated the email. The thing I notice about the recipes is that they use things like gelatine and eggs--both of which I don't want to use. The ice cream also comes out of the machine nice and soft, like custard--but when you transfer it to a container and freeze it, it becomes rock-hard. We determined that it was because it has no fat. Anyway, I've experimented with it and found that adding a banana or two (blended in the blender) helps with the hardness. Here's the recipe I used the other day.

In blender combine 2 bananas, 2 cups of Vances (prepared thick), 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 cup chocolate chips (ground to almost a powder in the blender). Blend until smooth. Pour into ice cream machine, process for 20-30 minutes. Done.

You can take the idea, and add or omit anything that you like. :)

OMG... I JUST saw our town trophy...... :lol::lol: ... I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I'll try to post as much as I can today (moving truck is here and have to move all my kids stuff into storage until they close on their new home)..... think I'll survive this? :lol:

I think you'll survive... but moving is stressful... you should make tomorrow a relaxing day- go get a massage or something.

I believe the shelf life dry is a year (unopened or in an airtight container), after mixing with water, it's a week.

Acorind to thier FAQ, Vances prepraied as milk lasts about a WEEK, Vances power if sealed in air tight container is good for a YEAR.

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
