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!

      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!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
