    Hi Aleshia, The connection between celiac disease and asthma is thought to be the same as that between celiac disease and any other autoimmune disease. Celiac disease is probably the reason why I have SIX autoimmune diseases....including asthma! The latest theories on the origins of autoimmune diseases in people who are genetically susceptible...

    Check out this blog post: Open Original Shared Link She uses Better Batter Gluten Free Flour in her wonton wrapper recipe; I haven't tried their flour but a lot of people on this forum swear by it. Good luck! JoAnn

    Another possibility to consider, if it's not DH, would be psoriasis. There are 5 different types of psoriasis (and at least one of them causes blisters); it can appear on the face. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease. Good luck! I hope you get some answers soon! JoAnn

    I've only been gluten free for about 7 weeks now, but for the first time since June 2007 I experienced some spotting last week! I don't know if it's my period trying to start up again because I'm 53 years old, but I guess it's possible (my mom didn't experience menopause until her late 50s)....? My PCP is concerned though and wants me to see a gynocologist...

    I can only answer the first part of your query, as I'm in California. I order coconut flour online. I've used it to make cheese muffins for a gluten-free low-carbohydrate diet. It does make great muffins! They are about 2 - 3 grams of net carbs per muffin. Here is the recipe that I've used the most (from Bruce Fife's book, Cooking with Coconut Flour...

    I love you mom! You're cute!

    10,000 years ago, when our ancestors began to practice real agriculture, there were so many ways to die that they wouldn't have noticed a subtle little thing like celiac disease. If someone had gastro problems, that would have been fairly normal, given no refrigeration, no sanitation, etc. I'm sure everyone had amoebic dysentery, worms, you name it, they...

    I love Pei Wei, but last week I had my first bad experience there. I ordered the sweet and sour shrimp on brown rice and when my husband went to pick it up, it didn't have the usual "gluten free" sticker on it. So he asked if it was gluten free and the person at the register said "Yes" and showed him on the receipt where it said "gluten-free Sweet and Sour...

    Since I'm the one with the diagnosis, and also the cook, I decided that the house HAD to be gluten free. I just can't deal with the cross-contamination risk. Then we found out that our two-year-old has the HLA DQ2 gene, and it became a no-brainer. We are now gluten free and no one seems to miss the gluten (except they do miss going out to eat pancakes...

    Here's a helpful link that lists several Boise restaurants with gluten free menus: Open Original Shared Link JoAnn

    There are 2 Outback Steak Houses in the Boise area; one is in Boise and the other in Nampa. Outback is one of the big-chain restaurants that have gluten-free menus. There is also a PF Chang's in Boise; they too have a gluten free menu. Even when you eat at a restaurant with a gluten-free menu, you should be cautious, speak to the manager so that they...

    This is so COOL! There's a ZPizza close to me (actually there are a lot of them in SoCal) and I called them and they DO have gluten free pizza crust! They said that they just started carrying it and that currently they only have it in the smallest size (personal pizza), but they may get larger crusts in the future. Thanks for posting! JoAnn

    Count me in! Check out the list of other autoimmune illnesses in my signature....includes asthma and RA. My eczema has improved lately since I've been gluten free. JoAnn

    Unfortunately I understand all too well! I even went through a period where I wouldn't eat anything for days or even weeks at a time. Sure I lost weight, but I always gained it back plus more! And I didn't have to eat much to gain; I ate far less than many of my "skinny" friends. Try eating less per meal, but have your meals more often: 5-6 smallish...

    I really look forward to your Weekly Menus! Thanks for posting them so faithfully RissaRoo! JoAnn

    I have tried SEVERAL gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipes from this forum, including celiac-mommy's (which is very good by the way), but the Land o' Lakes recipe in the link above is absolutely amazing!! My husband says he can hardly tell the difference between those and my "normal" chocolate chip cookies. I was famous for my chocolate chip cookies...

    Actually, bean flour is not icky! Garfava or garbanzo flours tend to be somewhat icky if used in the wrong recipes. They have a strong flavor. I only use bean flour in yeast breads myself. The absolute best bean flour is white bean flour. If you ever need a good gluten-free bread that is as close to "real" bread as anything I've ever seen, check this...

    Hi Briana, Most of the online articles say that celiac disease is more common in women than in men. This is certainly the case with many other autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The genetics of celiac disease are rather complicated, and I don't think you can explain things as being merely dominant or recessive. I don't...

    She posted it in a new thread, it's on the second page of "Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking and Cooking Tips" Here is her recipe:

    I did forget to mention that if you don't have the time, inclination, or money to buy special gluten free stuff, you can just identify things that you like that are already gluten free. I love Mexican food, and a lot of Mexican food is naturally gluten free; we eat fish tacos and chicken enchiladas a lot. Just make sure your corn tortillas etc are gluten...

    Poppy Cat, Also, please check out the following blog: Open Original Shared Link The blog owner, Stephanie, cooks gluten free because one of her daughters has celiac disease. Most of her recipes are very easy, and some of them are vegetarian too! And all of the recipes I've tried are REALLY good! Just made her Indian Chicken Curry....YUM...

    Absolutely the best bread recipe I've found so far: Ingredients for White Bean Flour Bread (You can order white bean flour from Bob's Red Mill or Barry Farms) * 1 cup warm water * 3/4 cup milk * 3 large eggs * 3 tbsp olive oil * 1 tbsp cider vinegar * 1 tbsp. molasses * 2 rounded tsp. xanthan gum * 1 1/2 tsp....

    Thanks, Lisa and Peter! I guess I didn't notice the box to check. I'll remember that for the future! JoAnn

    Happy New Year and Happy Birthday! Also, Happy Birthday to my granddaughter Carly, who is 5 years old today! She is doing SO much better on the gluten free diet after her celiac diagnosis via biopsy a year ago! JoAnn
