    Wow, that must have been a hard one to figure out !!! I used the cherry pie recipe from the current issue of cook's illustrated (except I used a gluten free pie crust, of course ) In it, they tackle the issue of using sweet instead of tart cherries, which don't soften up in baking as well as the tart varieties. My local farmer's market has been bursting...

    Hmm...that's a good point about the sugar...but I think I tend to use separate measuring cups for separate ingredients....I'll have to think about that. All of these gluten free crusts are so sticky that they have to be rolled out between waxed paper, so the dough never touches the rolling pin. Anyway, this crust was such a beast to deal with, it was more...

    I know, you're right! That's why I used it, because I never eat anything without researching it first, and I did see a thread where a number of people said they drank it without any issues. But now I don't know, maybe it was the bourbon

    I made my first gluten free pie from fresh farmer's market cherries. It was delicious, but sadly my body rejected it. I don't know if it's because I'm only 4 months gluten-free, and my body isn't ready for something complex, or if it's one of the ingredients. It's not cross contamination in my kitchen, because I live alone. If anyone has any ideas or has...

    ARCHIVED Should I Even Bother?

    detritus replied to StephE's topic in Doctors

    I saw a doctor for the first time yesterday since self-diagnosing for celiac's 4 months ago. Typically, he was superior and dismissive. When I mentioned my rheumatoid arthritis (which WAS diagnosed "properly" by a physician) he got practically angry, insisting that I didn't have it, that it's a VERY serious disease that needs medication. When I told him that...

    Getting close to the 3 month mark now; felt pretty bad for the first 3 weeks, then slowly started to see symptoms recede. At 2 months I felt like I was on solid footing, and felt like I was coming back stronger after the occasional accidental glutenings. But the last couple weeks I've been having wretched muscle/joint pain running up and down my right arm...

    Thank you! Yes, those are my symptoms, along with body ache. It's encouraging to know that it probably won't last as long as the usual rough ride!

    Hi, I'm nearing the 3 month gluten-free mark. I've had my share of glutening experiences over the last 3 months, but I could always identify the culprit. Today I ate the exact same breakfast I have every day since going gluten-free; Bob's Red Mill gluten-free hot cereal, except today I made it with So coconut milk instead of the almond milk I normally use...

    Hi, I was just reading a recipe, and it mentioned "gluten-free" baking powder. I rushed to my 365 whole foods brand baking powder that I've been using, and it doesn't say gluten free, but the only ingredients are cornstarch, monocalcium phosphate and baking soda. I've been feeling off and trying to pinpoint what is glutening me-could it be this? What is the...

    SUE MONSANTO!!!!! Gluten-intolerant group lawsuit!

    I LOVE Real Food Daily. There's one in LA and one in Santa Monica. They have gluten-free waffles for brunch on Sunday. If you're also avoiding casein there's a terrific dish called Not-chos, which is made with cashew cheese and tofu sour cream. They have a lot of gluten-free options, and are very knowledgeable. I like their food so much I bought their cookbook

    I'm sorry you're having a rough one. Lately I've been finding that a tablespoon of organic blackstrap molasses in hot almond milk really helps my mood. It has a lot of B-vitamins which help with depression. Hope things get better soon.

    Ha ha- I love it!

    That's a great link! My friend was rolling her eyes at me when I told her that kissing gluten-eaters was dangerous for me, and now I have something to send her;) I also like the idea that the way in which someone responds to the kissing info is a litmus test for how they will treat one in a relationship.

    I can totally relate! I love France, and love the food, but now, post-celiac diagnosis, I wonder how I could ever be safe eating there again. They put flour in everything! I just came back from a week in Mexico, and since I'm only 2 months gluten-free, I was quite nervous, but everything was fine because wheat flour is not so integral to their cooking; they...

    I was concerned about the anemia, so instead of coffee every day I drink hot almond milk with a tablespoon of organic blackstrap molasses. It has lots of good vitamins in it, and I actually get a little "happy" high about 20 minutes after drinking it I also take calcium with magnesium, digestive enzymes with every meal, probiotics, fish oil, and a multi...

    Hmmm...Wheatless,Wisconsin? Flourfree, Florida? Deglutened, Delaware?

    I've had daydreams about a gluten-free town-can you imagine it?!!!!!

    Yikes! Sounds like how it is in New York, only there it's 4 women to every 1 commitment-phobic man

    I second that! I,too, have been having crazy mood swings! This morning I was walking down the street practically singing because I felt so good, but tonight I feel icky and down. So I came here, and once again am comforted by reading everyone's thoughts and experiences. Life would be sooo much harder right now without our community.

    Hey, I know you've mentioned gatorade, but I've actually become hooked on Pedialyte! Not the main brand one, but the mom-to-mom one-no flavor. It's cheaper and tastes like salty lemonade

    Maybe you could have "turned" her

    Welcome to the community:) I think what you're feeling, and what we've all felt, is why it is SO important for us all to raise awareness about this disease, even through just raising the awareness in the people around us. Hopefully ,one day celiac sufferers will not have to go through decades of distress before receiving the answers they need.

    I, too, have/had RA, which seems to be particularly triggered by nightshades. I used to eat fresh homemade gazpacho every day in summer (tomatoes,bell peppers,cucumber & vinegar) with no issues. Then I had pneumonia, which I believe was my trigger. Summer rolled around, I whipped up a big bowl of gazpacho and "ouch" ! My hands were so inflamed I couldn...

    Calista Flockhart. I was the costume designer for her first film as a main character. It was low budget, so I put her in all of my own clothes. I had to take them up a bit, because she's a little shorter than me, but we're both skinny...hmmmm...wonder if she has Celiac's I love Jiraffe-it's right around the corner from my work. I think it's going to be...
