I've just returned from a week in California, visiting three sets of relatives, and enjoying a Thanksgiving meal for eighteen people. It was a great experience seeing people we hadn't seen for many years in the beautiful mountains near Big Bear Lake. We also spent time with family near San Diego, and as a special treat, went hiking in Torey Pines State...

Hello all you Celiacs,I posted the article, "Open Original Shared Link", with the best of intentions, but the feedback has been pretty controversial, taking me completely by surprise.

In doing so over time I have become so familiar with every manifestation of Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity that I can often recognize symptoms in people at a glance. Perhaps you can too. You know, the fair-skinned...

I have to admit to being overwhelmed with the response to the article on Gluten Sensitivity and Bladder Disease. Thanks to everyone who wrote in, here and to me personally. The article has been picked up not only by Celiac sites, but by sites that support people who have Intersititial Cystitis, and that honestly thrills me, because it doubles the number...

I did my first two farmer's market demonstrations this week. Here's what happened. In Lake Oswego on Saturday, Sept. 6th, I woke early and carted all my stuff to the market, set up, and proceeded to make gluten-free waffles, with fresh peach sauce and coconut cream - gluten, dairy, and sugar free. They were yummy. I also made some chocolate chip waffles...

They are easy... -
