Ok, I got the link to work once by removing the space between 'gluten' and 'free'.

I have had trouble several times getting their links to work on here. Cruelshoes knows how to do it. Something about a tiny url.

I made another candy cane recipe -- it really came out great. Here's what I did:

10 ounces chocolate chips

1/4 tsp. canola oil

8 regular-size Spangler CHERRY FLAVOR Candy Canes (14 gr each, they came in a 9-ounce box that holds 18 candy canes) - or use flavor of your choice

Pam

Melt 10 oz. bag choc. chips in double boiler. Add 1/4 tsp. canola oil for ease of use.

Note: I used Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips, which are free of gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy. They are made in a dedicated nut and gluten-free facility. (For those super sensitive to dairy and soy, the plant does process dairy and soy, although neither are in the chocolate.) If you've never had them, these chocolate chips are amazingly delicious. Everyone will think you're using the finest gourmet chocolate.

On the back of the bag of Enjoy Life Choc. Chips is a recipe for Chocolate Bark that calls for nut-free trail mix. I used the recipe as inspiration then used candy canes instead of trail mix to make a Chocolate-Cherry Crunch Bark.

I peeled the wrapping from 8 Spangler Cherry Flavor Candy Canes, put them in a zip lock bag and used a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces - it looked so pretty, like pieces of glass. I added the candy pieces to the chocolate. You could of course use more or less candy cane, to taste.

I lightly greased a glass dish with Pam and poured the chocolate mixture in and spread it to the thickness of chocolate bark -- maybe a bit thinner. (Next time I might try using wax paper instead).

Stick it in the fridge until cool, break into pieces and enjoy. OH SO EASY! The crunchy cherry "bite" with the chocolate was soooooo good! Of course, peppermint would be wonderful, too. Note: The recipe on the bag says to melt the chocolate in a microwave. I think a double boiler works better, but do whatever is easiest! :)

If anyone tries this, let me know. I hope you enjoy it.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
