I'm New Here, And How I Came To Be Here Is A Long Story.

Hi everyone!!

I'm not sure how this site works, but here's my story:

I am a nurse. I do not have celiac disease (or a food allergy). I have friends that do, and what I've experienced with my friends/patients is that it is a very difficult thing to deal with- the learning how to eat all over again to avoid some of the suffering that you guys have to deal with.

I'm trying to make the world a better place, one gluten free dessert at a time. Silly? Maybe. I'm a Southern girl, though, and we're always feeding everyone!

I created a recipe for gluten free lemon bars, and I was wondering if you all would take a look. Or better yet, make it and tell me what you think.

I'm also interested in what other desserts people like that may not be available without wheat based flours.

I have made it my mission to make gluten free stuff that actually tastes good.

I thank you so much in advance for your help, and I'm really excited to hear from you guys!!!

You forgot to post the recipe. :)

You forgot to post the recipe. :)

Well, it's not that I forgot, it's that I posted it with a link... Which as I found out today, is against the rules. So the link was deleted, and I am afraid to post the recipe for fear that Google will flag me for duplicate content, even though I don't think one can plagiarize their own work. Sighhhhhh.

I wish there were a way for me to do that little emoticon with its head banging on the wall. It's TOTALLY appropriate here.

It's okay to post a link to your own content, as long as it is on your profile page, not in the body of the forum. :)

Give that a try.

Thank you so much for helping me find a way around this. Since I'm still super new (and all my posts have to be viewed and approved by a moderator), I will do it first thing tomorrow if you can tell me how. I looked around on the profile page, but I'm unsure how best to proceed. You. Are. Awesome.

Hi!! As soon as I figure out how to post it on my profile, it'll be there. I'll let you know when that finally happens, and if you're still interested, I'd love it if you'd be so kind as to give it a whirl.

Ps- I love NC. Spent a lot of summers in Brevard as a child :)

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.
