About Me

I'm a 21-year-old college student currently living in Chile. I have been dealing with Celiac alone as my family does not wish to do any real research on the topic and views this as my problem. I usually live in Colorado and am happy to see many changes in the gluten-free world here. I have had problems staying gluten-free at all times, but I am finally ready to face this part of my life with all I've got. I hope I can depend on this group for support since my family is not an option.

    Great, thank you! Can you tell me where to find spectrum shortening? Thank you again Jane.

    Hello everyone! It has been so long since I've been on here, that's what you get for your computer frying. Anyway, I am helping out with a convention for kids that stutter and their families this weekend (Saturday). They are planning on making cupcakes, and decorating them as well as having pizza for lunch. I volunteered to take care of people with allergies...

    I grew up with canker sores always in my mouth. ALWAYS! My mom would bug the dentist about things to help. I was six, eight, ten, etc. and hardly had a brake from the things. Once I went gluten free, they were gone and stayed gone. I now get them if I get glutened sometimes and I also get ones that are random and far apart like normal people. It was definitely...

    I hiked the 6000 ft. La Campana yesterday! I was incredibly proud of myself!!!! I certainly wasn't the fastest in the group, but I did it, and I did it without any serious damage to my body. I slipped a couple of times and my legs and feet are a bit sore today, but I made it and I can still walk around fine! Sorry, I had to share this little bit of...

    I like the idea for using cookies as a crust, unfortunately this only serves me when I get back to the US. There aren't any ginger cookies here or really any gluten-free cookies for that matter (well there are some, but it pains me to spend $6 on a bag of 10 miniature cookies ).

    Yeah I think studying abroad/living abroad is one of those experiences that makes you completely evaluate EVERYTHING including those things about yourself you never even knew existed. But I see it ending as one of the best experiences of my life. Although, I'm lonely at times I don't regret it. Tonight a fellow gringa and I went to a random location and found...

    Beverly I absolutely love the apple crisp idea. I LOVE apple crisp! Thank you for all of your ideas and PLEASE keep them coming (I'm thinking of making two deserts ) Plus there are never too many good ideas.

    No, I'm actually at a lower altitude here than at home. I live in Denver and here...I can see the ocean....Plus I drink a lot of water. I don't generally drink alcohol (I have had 3 drinks in the past 4 months all weeks apart). I usually don't drink caffeine either, occasionally a vanilla honey chamomile tea from Celestial Seasonings....

    I know there are some cooking/baking geniuses out there and I need ideas! PLEASE! I am currently in Chile and for Thanksgiving there will be a HUGE celebration with the students in my program. Each of us is required to bring a desert to the event. My problem is this: I have none of the billions of flours we have access to in the US. I can obtain corn flour...

    Yeah, I'm not a doctor at all. Just from what your saying and what I've learned, if it is specific to certain motions I'd be sure to check the semicircular canals (specifically the crystals in them.) And don't be fooled, just because they're in the ear doesn't mean they have to do with hearing, they have SO much to do with balance. The organs of the ear are...

    I hope everything will be alright on the volcano climb, I'm still not totally decided on it (for money reasons) plus my hike to Machu Picchu is only 2 weeks later so I don't want to tire myself out for that. At the same time HOW MANY OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE TO DO THIS?!? I know that the shoes could be a problem (they cover special shoes and pants, crampons...

    I was getting to the point where I was depressed, but I decided to stop it in it's tracks (I don't want to go there.) I volunteer with English Opens Doors here, but not consistantly (because of the teacher ) Last week I spent money to go from Valpo to Vi

    Hello all. I'm just putting this out there because I feel like someone has to understand. When I moved abroad to study this last July I was SO incredibly excited about everything. I had heard you go through and up and down and up process and in the end you are changed forever. I thought, "I'm STRONG, I'm not that dependent on my family, and I don't see my...

    I am not trying to diagnose you, but rather give you another thought. I am a Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences major and this could be due to problems with the crystals in your semicircular canals. This is the organ in the ear that controls our balance. If the crystals are out of wack, you are too. It could explain the vertigo and balance issues. An...

    This is a really bad time to be experiencing this (I'm not in the country= no doctor). I really hope it's nothing. Yesterday I drank 3-4 normal water bottles of water (16oz.). That's 48-64oz, plus a glass of milk. I was thirsty and stayed pretty well on top of things I think. I exercised in the morning (30min run) and stayed well hydrated after (my urine...
