Out Of Towner (way Out - Like Trans-atlantic)

Hi, my name is David, i have just become a member of Celiac.com.

I am a member of the Irish Coeliac Society, I was diagnosed in November 2005 after suffering

months of the usual unsavoury symptoms.

I had lost a lot of weight rapidly and of course thought the unthinkable the Big 'C'

It's funny that after quiting smoking after 40+ yrs i developed celiac disease.

After checking the internet i found that smoking prevents the onset of adult Coeliac Disease,

I resigned myself to a life (or lack of it) without gluten, i could not stand the shop bought

gluten free bread, which to me resembled re-constituted saw-dust.

The pizza bases tasted like old cardboard boxes (on second thoughts cardboard tastes better)

I have a sweet tooth (who hasn't) and even though i could not cook or bake i read every cook book,

in the library, looked at recipes on the internet. I was determined to make everyday goodies

Gluten Free and as close to the 'Real Thing' as possible. I believe i have succeeded to some

extent as i post adapted recipes and a few originals on the Irish Coeliac Web Site.

I submit postings under the user name Daveyboy

Sorry this is so long winded, hopefully i will be making contributions to this forum in the future.

Best Regards, David
