    I made this bread after Christmas, using everything they said except substituting quinoa for the amaranth flour, and it is amazing. I love it!! Thanks Rachel

    Thanks so much, Lisa. I went on the Coeliac New Zealand website (haven't been there before ) and found the following statement: "Standard 1.2.8 Claims in relation to gluten content of food A claim to the effect that a food is gluten free must not be made in relation to a food unless the food contains no (a) detectable gluten; and ( no – ...

    That was my vague recollection too, Lisa, which is why I posed the question. But I did have a slight "glutened" reaction to the mints...

    I hope ravenwoodglass sees your post and responds to it. She had so many of your symptoms, including UBO's (unidentified bright objects) on the brain and all kinds of neuro symptoms, and was undiagnosed for many, many years. If you believe you might have celiac disease you should be tested now before you go gluten free, or you may well invalidate the testing...

    Oh how I remember those crates of milk delivered by the milkman in the wee hours of the morning and then sitting out in the hot sun until morning break . Blech They used to make me sick!!! I got a note from my mother that I didn't have to drink them. And no, I was not lactose intolerant then. Straight off the farm where we used to milk our own cows...

    So I'm not the only one who reacts to it! When I mentioned mints, they were regular mints, and it's not just mints, but ALL candy that contains it. Guess I will have to join the Coeliac Society here and find out what folks do here for candy, or if they just abstain I think I must have looked at every candy made by every manufacturer in New Zealand, Australia...

    Not being a Canuck or from the northeast, here all along I thought that's what hockey fans went to see At least from what I saw on the teevee.... Anyways, well done Canucks!!

    Chicken and bacon is always a good combo and those sound great. I made boneless skinless chicken thighs like that with some goat cheese and sundried tomato in the middle of the roll-up and they were delicious. Unfortunately, I can't have cooked tomato of any kind anymore. Am thinking of putting some kalamata olives or mushrooms sauteed with thyme in instead...

    Because a lot more wheat than corn is grown in these parts, almost all our candy is sweetened with the glucose syrup derived from wheat. At one point I tried some Pascal mints which had this labelling and didn't react well. Should this always be considered an unsafe product? I have avoided it except for those mints for the past two years. And I am not...

    The cruciferous family of vegetables is hard to digest for all, but particularly for a tender gut. This includes broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower. Things like apple and tomato skins are very hard to digest and best avoided at first. If you actually have a specific intolerance to another food it will generally show up with other symptoms rather than just...

    Thanks, PadTea. Right back at ya. You should be there either now or in one hour! Joodee, your saga is book material. Hone up your writing skills! Sounds like you will have a leisurely move in, won't that be a change? Happy New Year in your new home! Rest of the psills, drink lotsa water when you get home and Happy New Year once ye have recuperated...

    My husband decided to go gluten free with me because he had "some tummy issues" and because it would be easier for both of us. Then he started cheating when he got back to the land of sourdough bread, and threw in a few beers for good measure. Next thing he knew he broke out in DH on his forehead It is not at all uncommon for one to find one has married...

    You sure ain't. De only way ye can get to be a lost cause is iffen you think herself into it And I know ye ain't gonna do dat T'is almost a whole brand new year and one which me forecasts is gonna be a GREAT year for you! Now get wif the program, girl, and make it happen!

    Scary stuff in there, Lisa. Basically, Peter Greene is saying that the doctors only know what the drug companies want them to know :o

    Bea. I don't know if what I and my gluten intolerant sister have is anything similar to what you are describing, but when we get together we both talk about the weird problems we both have that no one else we have ever known seems to have involving connective tissue. For starters, all our connective tissue is extremely sensitive to pressure. Someone grabs...

    As you may have realized, it is not easy to find a doctor who is familiar with celiac in all its many guises, and there is no right or wrong as far as a GP, GI, allergist, immunologist etc., is concerned. Rheumatologists don't know RA is linked with celiac, neurologists mostly don't know MS is linked with celiac, GI's think they know everything but can be...

    Then I'd say you're doing okay, 'grandmother'. But just wait for the first time someone calls you 'dearie'--that one will kill ya! Ye Gods, I felt 105!

    I don't really feel that it needs to be a topic of discussion in your interview, Jason. It is not a mandatory initial disclosure unless it is going to interfere with your ability to do your job. If lunch is involved in your interview, can you not order a pan seared steak, baked potato and salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing on the side? No need...

    Just the very fact of your diagnosis and quitting eating gluten has increased your longevity odds immensely I really don't think you need fear an imminent demise. We eat more healthily than the rest of the population and may well outlast them all.

    Mornin', Peeps! I know, I know, but it is here. Ah, bless his heart. He is planning on being a busy lad! Just hand him his "mother's little helper" tools every Saturday morning and say "Thank you so much dear!". My sister gave us a ceramic pukeko (native. colorful, . semi-wading bird) which has red iron legs (two) and there are three...

    First off, try not to feel too bad and alone, because we ALL go through this phase. I did the same thing my first year because it was hard enough figuring it out for myself, let alone trying to explain to anyone else. It is initially very daunting and isolating until you develop the knowledge and wherewithall to handle it with grace and aplomb. But...

    The nightshades are a bit of a puzzlement to me. I initially gave them up because I knew they were inflammatory and I was concerned about my RA. Giving up bell peppers was easy because they never had sat well with me (I hated fajitas!) and I have not really missed eggplant, although strangely enough ratatouille used to be one of my signature dishes. So...

    If he is lactose intolerant, then it would indicate to me that he has done damage to the villi in his small intestine, because it is at the tips of the villi that the lactase is produced to digest milk. That being said, if he *has* done damage to his villi he has probably not been absorbing all the necessary nutrients and may well be deficient in such things...

    There's only one problem with your solution Jyess--it just creates more of the same

    No, I think it is just because most older people have never been diagnosed. I am sure both my parents had it and both lived to be 80 plus without diagnosis. My sister who is self-diagnosed just turned 75. I am a few years behind her (but still what you think of as "old") but only self-diagnosed two years ago. Don't forget the blood test was developed...
