Hi friends, I want to make a cherry pie for tomorrow's feast, but I can not find a good recipe for a double crust pie. The only ones I can find are for a single crust (like pumpkin...) Anybody have a great recipe? Thanks!

Yep, RedBridge, New Grist, and Bard's... those are your three choices. We have to get them from BevMo, and since the Bard's is mostly always sold out, we buy a case if it is there! The beer is sweeter, and fuller. I find that I can only drink two. So happy to find this beer! Cheers!

Packaging is certainly part of the problem... Both my son and I have Celiac. He is five, and I have a pretty busy household with daughters, 3 and 2. I went to a heath food type store where they mostly have the gluten-free stuff in one aisle. I went in to buy some prepackaged items for my boy's kindergarten lunches. I did the same thing! Kind of. I bought...

Wow! Good for you running a marathon! I am a 13.1 type runner. I really enjoy it, but with 3 kids five and under, I can't commit more time than I already do to my running schedule. I guess I'll have to wait until they get a bit older for the full... but I certainly want to run one! I can tell you that I was diagnosed with Celiac a little over a year ago...

I am really surprised at the daycare too. My son was just diasgnosed with Celiac, and started kindergarten. It wasn't like I had a note to say that he was... I went online and found some information pertaining to kids and basically wrote my own note explaining the disease, what syptoms arise in kids inluding what I see happen in him, and then wrote down what...

This is a really tough situation. I am also a teacher, but sadly received a pink slip this year... which may have been a blessing I suppose. My son, five years old, just started kindergarten, and was just diagnosed with Celiac although my Mama instinct told me so a while ago. I also was diagnosed last year after several years of struggle and pain, so at least...

Hi, My lovely box of organic fruits and veggies contained persimmons in it today. Last year, in my pre gluten-free days, I made super yummy, moist and delicious cookies. Does anybody have a delicious recipe for persimmon cookies, or maybe bread? It would be helpful if it contained easy to get flour substitutes. I always get frustrated when a recipe calls...

I know that nitrates are not good for a person, but do they set off Celiac symptoms? My tummy has been sooo bloated the past couple days, and we did have "breakfast for dinner" the other night... Hmmm? Could that be my trouble?

My tummy hurts! I have been gluten free almost three months. At first it was really hard, and I still had the gut wrenching pain. It was terrible. I actually felt worse than I did when I was eating gluten. Now that has passed, but my tummy is totally bloated! What gives? Is it the dairy? That was never a problem before... Is it the soy? I read through...

Wow, thanks for the great resources! I spent some time looking at the gluten-free in SD website. Very helpful! I think I have a tendency to get wrapped up in all that I can't have, and I forget that there really are lots of things I can have. I was so happy to see that Cheetos are on the ok list. I can give up lots of things, but it's nice to know that I...

Hi Guys, I need some help. New to the diet, and in my third month... it is getting better, but still have some bloating issues when something slips past. I usually try to avoid anything that says caramel coloring, but read on another post that Coca Cola was actually ok. Is this true? I would be SOOO happy! Second question: I was just reading the ingredients...

Hey Gals, I too, was wondering about this. My issue is the other way around. I did not start my period until I was almost 16. Once I started, it never came regularly. In fact, I did not have my period but 3 or four times a year. I went to the Dr. when I was about 25, due to crazy pelvic pain. (Looking back, I think this was my first misdiagnosed Celiac moment...

You guys are so awesome. Isn't it wonderful to have a wealth of resources who combined have more knowledge than the specialists who treat us? Thank you for all of the support, suggestions, and kindness. I originally posted my experience to try to help other people who are new at this, and in doing so, I feel like I have a lot of new info and ideas to try...

Thanks William for the chuckle! No, no marines, just some old fashioned Irish blood! I used to think my dad was stubborn, and it turns out I am just like him! So, it's been a week since my 1/2 marathon. I have been sore all week, but feeling pretty good as far as energy levels. I think I may go out for a quick three mile walk pushing my baby girl this...
