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!

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
