As you know, I love to make all I can possible from scratch (including fruit leather). Happened upon this method today that some of you maybe interested in. I will make this with my own homemade roasted applesauce.

Awesome! Can you imagine how much healthier it is to make yourself? Not only that but man, homemade sure is tasty. Plus it is also fun! :D

Yes, so much healthier and no CC! Can't beat that. (I always enjoy your recipes and cooking tips etc.)

YES!! That CC is one of the trickiest things about this gluten-free diet, isn't it?

Thanks for the compliment. I do not want assume that people want my recipes or tips but as food is on my mind about 98.7% of the time I cannot help myself. There is no reason why we cannot eat fabulously, too! :D

Thanks so much for posting this recipe!

Once the weather turns cool I feel more like playing in the kitchen.

You are welcome. We had a cool summer (with frost in some areas a week ago) but yet now we have had temps in the 90s for a solid week. Great for the farmers but not great for those of us (pick me) who cannot tolerate heat. But I cannot complain - it has been very nice weather (except extremely dry). As we have no A/C, I, too, love to cook dishes such as braises more in the cooler months.

Nice. We do ours in the food dehydrator so it doesn't tie up the oven and heat up the kitchen. It has tray inserts for fruit leather. We puree fruits, sometimes add (homemade, no sugar) applesauce, and let it dry. Yum!!!

That is about the only kitchen tool I do not have for some weird reason. I will be getting a new Vita Mix in a few days and cannot wait to make all sorts of leathers and wonderfully healthy juices. Perhaps I should buy a dehydrator - whenever I make leathers or fruit chips I wonder why I don't have one. I also like to dry citrus, tomatoes, herbs for blends, etc.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Thanks to those who have replied.  To Cristina, my symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell. To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.
