Hello From Sweden

Hi!

Just to begin with, you have to be patience with my english. It's not the very best.

I just found this forum. My name is Nina, I'm 34 years old. I live in the northern part of Sweden in a town called Skelleftea with my husband and our son.

It is me in our family that cant eat gluten. I've been eating gluten-free food for 10 years now.

I love to bake and always looking for new recipies. It was when I was looking for that on the internet I found this side :) I almost never buy bread or cookies and things like that. It's better to bake, it's become more tastier then.

I hope I will learn something from you and the other way around.

Best regards

Nina

Hi Nina--welcome to the board! :D

Hi Nina,

I'm an American, but all of my ancestors are from Sweden. My mother's parents spoke Swedish at home, and both my parents grew up in Swedish immigrant communities, so I still feel somewhat tied to that background. (MorFar was from Orebro, but that's all I know.) I live in Minnesota, now, which also has lots of Swedish immigrants and history.

Welcome to the group!

Hi Nina,

I'm glad you found this board.

I agree with you on the baked goods. The gluten free breads, cookies, etc. in the stores are so expensive and not that tasty.

My family is from Stockholm. And my husband wants to move to Malmo. He is even trying to learn a little Swedish. :)

Anyway, welcome!

Gina

Ah! Stockholm and Malmoe. It's a bit from here. Stockholm is about 750 km and Malmoe is about, hmmm... well I think 1500 km from Skelleftea. A daytrip ;)

Hope you know the metric system, I'm not sure how long it's in miles.

I like the southern part of Sweden. It's not that cold there. Here in Skelleftea we can have like -40 celcius during wintertime. Not fun..... I like it when it's +35 celcius.

Well, I've got relatives in USA:) My Granddads (MorFar) cousine lives in Latrobe, Pensylvania. And I think one lives in LA. Last time I heard they lived there :) But I have never been overseas. I really would like to. It's a dream I have. You guys got soooo yummy chocolate..... :wub: I just looove those with peanutbutter. Peanutbutter is my weaknes. And to combine that with chocolate..... oh my! Then I'm in heaven lol.

I think it's good that we can't buy Goobers grape and peanutbutter here in Sweden. I would look like a ballon then......

Well, now I'm gonna look for some yummy recipies. Hmm.. maby something with chocolate ;)

      Kan-101

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products...

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be...

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten.

That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.

      Is “Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour” truly gluten free?  The main ingredient is supposed to be gluten free wheat starch along with other ingredients.  However, the resulting homemade bread made with this flour so resembles homemade gluten bread that it seems Caputo must have some gluten?
