Hi everyone!

I am looking to take a gluten free cooking class in the CA bayarea, does anyone know of anything?

I am a 21 year old and a fairly new celiac and I need to learn how to cook! My family isn't very accomidating to gluten-free, and I am living at home for the summer so I would love to be able to cook some good gluten-free meals so they realize gluten-free isn't so bad!

Thank you for your time!

I don't know of a cooking class but some things that might be good are stir fry (San J makes a gluten free soy sauce-I found it at Safeway) and things like spaghetti (buy Tinkyada noodles from Vitacost online for less). Tostadas is another great idea. Mission foods' line "Guerrero" has a gluten free corn tostada rounds - found those at Winnco. Anything with pasta and cheese (fettucinni), etc., is great. Since you're online there is a wealth of information there. I'm sorry to hear your family is less than enthusiastic. Perhaps if they realize that a lot of meals are already gluten free that they probably like it might help. You pick the recipe and ask them for help in fixing it.

Hi,

It's me again because I wanted to be clear about some things since you are newly diagnosed. When I say anything pasta and cheese is good, of course I mean to say rice noodles and make sure all the other ingredients are gluten free. I believe this site has a FAQ list of safe and forbidden foods. My point is that a lot of meals can easily be made gluten free. That way your family doesn't have to start eating completely new foods or recipes- just meals that have some adjustments. Perhaps they would agree to help you fix a couple of meals a week that have been adjusted. Approach it from the angle of needing help learning how to cook. Might seem less threatening to them. Food is a hot issue when people feel forced to change - don't we know!!!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
