I'm New To Everything!

Hi there, I'm new to the forum and thought I should say hello. My fiance was just diagnosed with celiac's. He's been asked not to change his diet quite yet since they want to do an endoscopy and some more tests, but soon things will undergo a big shift. I make homemade bread and pasta on a regular basis, and I'm certainly interested in how to change my cooking to help him (though I don't think I'm going to go gluten-free myself). This looks like a fabulous and very useful forum, so I'm looking forward to getting involved!

Hello, and welcome to the board. It's great that you want to learn how to change things over.

If you will still be baking 'gluten' products, you will need to keep all that "floating" flour in mind. Flour tends to coat everything :( Also, gluten free baking should not be done in your old pans, as the corners are impossible to clean properly.

As for pasta, there is a rice pasta called Tinkyada that is very good :P

It really is a huge learning curve, but you have come to the right place. There is a lot of super people on this forum.

Nini has a "newbe" kit. I'm sure someone here can give you the link to it.

Thanks to both of you. This seems like such a great resource. My fiance's Scottish and I'm American, and I'm heading over to the states soon to get set up for our marriage and move to the U.S. I think that'll be a great opportunity to start fresh with a gluten-free kitchen. We'll be living near my family so I can always go to mom's house if I need need need to bake some wheat bread (I have those days).

I'd love to get my hands on Nini's newbie kit. I saw it suggested to someone else, but I haven't managed to track it down yet.

You should check out The Gluten Free Gourmet cookbook. It's the best cookbook I've found. I've never made a bread, cake or cookie that isn't yummy from it.

Welcome!

I would also recommend reading Gluten Free for Dummies by D. Korn.

She is very knowledgeable and the book is written in an "easy to follow" way.

I just got a new cookbook for X-mas called "Gluten Free Bread Baking" - I haven't used it, but that is only because I am scared of my bread machine...

:)

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
