Celiac Cooking School/camp

If I had money and time, I'd like to start a camp for adults who want to learn gluten-free baking and cooking techniques because this is exactly what I need!

It could be a weekend camp/school/spa experience for singles or couples and teach Hagman receipes and other gluten-free cooking stuff. Celiacs and their families and other loved ones (friends who'd like to know how to cook for their celiac friends, etc.) would be welcome. Basically all would be welcome - the more the merrier.

There are a lot of people who come down with celiac as adults and have been cooking with gluten ingredients and now need to change gears and learn gluten-free cooking. This could be a crash course for them. Much like a gluten free camp for kids.

Just musing a bit this morning.

I thought about doing that to make some extra money! ;-) I can't seem to find the time - even for a class in my own home! You're not in the SoCal region, are you?

No, I'm from NJ and we have only two decent months a year to outdoor camp : July and August and it will rain almost every 3rd day. But I don't do outdoor camping; my idea of camping is The Hilton.

This sounds like a great idea! If you can arrange it at a nice resort type area, where people can make a mini vacation out of it, I think it would fly. Everyone would of course pay their own way (as a package) for accomodations and use of a convention/seminar type space. I would do it in a heart beat, but I am new to this gluten-free diet and my recipe contributions would be minimal. But I am sure we all have some ideas and experiences that would be helpful to share as a group. Let me know if you are serious about pursuing this. I have a background in meeting planning and I would love to help! Besides, I can always use an escape (-:

Chantal, I wish I could....I don't have that kind of "seed" money. But we can dream, can't we?

seems like other people have the same idea. I was looking into the Culinary Institute of America web page in Hyde Park, NY, and they are actually having a 1 or 2 day class on gluten-free cooking for the holidays. Its the first w/e in December of this year.....and it costs $160!!!!

I'd love to take it but I have stuff going on that w/e....

Sunshine, could you post the link where it talks about the gluten-free class? I searched and became totally bogged down and found nothing about it (age and children are conspiring to make me feel computer inept :ph34r: ) It sounds like it could be a fun trip!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
