I don't use a toaster at all. I've been gluten-free for 3 years now. I have a ritual I do with the microwaving, where I defrost a slice or two of gluten-free bread and then cook for 15-20 seconds. I also fry the frozen bread in a pan with butter or spray butter, on recommendation of someone in my support group and it is DY-NA-MITE!

My favorite gluten-free products are Glutino pretzels, Kinnickinnick breads, Mrs. Leepers and Tinkyada brown rice pastas, Gluten Free Pantry Croutons, The Cravings Place pancakes (add an egg), and crackers and anything by Schar, Pamela's walnut choc. chip cookies, Rice Chex cereal, and simple chips that are made from corn (or potatoes) salt, and oil.

The five essentials for living gluten free:

An adventurous spirit (for learning to cook gluten free)

A thick hide (to handle all the questions and comments about living gluten free)

A joyful outlook (to carry you through the bad moments--and there will be some)

A palate willing to try new flavors

Good eyesight and a chemistry degree (for reading all the minute printing on the food labels) :lol:

This gave me a good laugh! It is so true. I would add to that....a good glass of wine. My husband always poured me a glass when I said I was going to try a new bread or pizza dough, lol.

Julia Child! Love her.

We use plastic cutting boards, and I've put them through the dishwasher - is it necessary to get new ones, or do I only need to if they're wood?

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
