    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...

    I have always been a person where I honestly didn't drink enough water (TMI to come) as was indicated by darkish urine, we're not talking alarmingly black, just darker than it should be. I feel that I drink quite a bit of water, but I do not drink so much that I quench my thirst or hydrate myself all the way because then I spend every two seconds in the bathroom...

    I do not equate training for the two, I am training for the marathon, but I am using that to get in better physical shape for the hikes. I should note that I am currently at a high elevation and I actually have lived all of my life in Colorado, hiking when I have the chance. I don't think the elevation should be too much of a problem. I also live in a city...

    Hello all! I recently decided to start training for my first marathon/half marathon (we'll see how things go). I am doing research on the technicalities of running. But, I would like to know if you have any suggestions related and not related to gluten intolerance/Celiac and training (long distance running). Any training, running, nutrition, or other related...

    I found this thread earlier and it made me laugh. I curiously looked at a bar of regular Hershey's "chocolate" today (in a grocery store in Chile) and it appears they have heard the Celiac community. On the back, I got to then the end of the mystery ingredients, and after the normal memo that says "may contain tree nuts, peanuts, soy, etc. in HUGE bold letters...

    Hey everyone! Here is the list that elonwy was so generous to share (seriously this helps a lot!) There seem to actually be some options. If anyone else has suggestions let me know. And thank you elonwy. HI. I just found my notepad with my notes from '06. My best luck was a health food store called Rendezvous de la Nature - 96 rue Mouffetard ...

    This is bad news for me, and I'm hoping someone has been there/lived there and has some suggestions. I don't have a choice of a different location as I am going to visit a friend. I don't think it would be wise to ask him to move to Italy while I'm visiting him . Maybe I'll end up buying/bringing my own stuff and eating before or after meals and just have...
  22. SeMeCl
    I agree. Tell your teachers, I know in my high school you had to have a really go reason to be leaving class especially during tests (and even more so in the AP classes). If it has affected or is affecting you in class, it is best your teachers know, that way you don't have to go through a long explanation when/if the situation does come up, you just go....
  23. SeMeCl
    No, I agree. I'm not saying it's not (I was kind of wondering if people would start to think that. ) But, it is good to be aware that there may be a related sensitivity, it's always wise not to try eating too many new grains at once and confuse a millet (or other grain) reaction with a gluten one. I'm not saying the two things are related. Millet...
  24. SeMeCl
    It makes me sick too. I react more quickly and severely to millet than wheat. I wonder why.

    Yeah, they do eat guinea pig in Peru, I have a Peruvian friend and he broke the news to me. Mendoza is great. I stayed there for a week during the fiestas patrias. They have a route where you can bicycle to all of these bodegas. It is really cheap to rent a bike and certain bodegas are free. It was too big to see everything, but there are a lot of ferias...
