    Most definitely! My first few weeks gluten free were quite yucky. I felt sick in general with nausea, vomiting, headaches, intense food cravings, dizzines...and many others experience this, too. Thankfully the good news is that it is temporary. Soon this withdrawal will be forgotten and you will be reaping the benefits of your new diet and life. Glad...

    Hi, Little Tee! Many people find that gluten sensitivity becomes increasingly worse the longer they are gluten free. It is common. I'm a foodie, too, but am continuing to cook awesome gourmet gluten-free stuff. Give me nearly any recipe and I can make it awesome (except am still working on yeast breads and such). Did you know that you can easily...

    GO FOR IT! That would be so awesome. Don't forget to give us a big wave from the stage!

    Thought so. Love it!

    Tonight we are having: Pork Tenderloins with Coffee Cacao Rub and Maple Bourbon Glaze (seared and roasted to medium well as pork SHOULD be) Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes with Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Oil Minted Pea Puree Greens with Julienned Daikon and Grapefruit Tarragon Vinaigrette, Toasted Pecans and Dried Cherries Leftover Chocolate Marquise and...

    I, too, add all sorts of yummy things to my crust including Parmesan and all sorts of fresh herbs and roasted garlic. Heck, sometimes I even add caramelized onions or shallots.

    Just so you know, you can make good gluten-free angel food cake - you can scarcely tell the differene! Of course that only works if you can have egg whites. Lots and lots of egg whites. My recipe calls for 12 but that is no different from regular angel food cakes, anyway. I can make nearly everything gluten-free except chewy bagels, yeasty cinmamon...

    Thanks for posting this. I love challah bread and this recipe (the combinations, ratios) looks delicious!

    I ao agree. Something this serious is far out of our scope here. We can support you and pray for you but we are ill equipped (I speak for myself).

    I wonder if this will happen to me further down the road the symptoms starting 1.5 years post diagnosis). I sure hope not. I am super strict (as you are) but there is always that chance! Yuck.

    I put myself through the challenge because gluten did not make me sick at all. Nil. So, I truly did not believe I had celiac until the biopsies came back positive. So, I needed it to prove that I have the disease otherwise I likely would not have done anything about it. I frankly LOVED the challenge, getting to eat all the yummy gluten I wanted to for...

    That is exactly how I think of it. For example, I do not think of homemade gluten-free bread as bread but merely as a vehicle for jam, peanut butter, bruschetta, whatever. Because there just is no comparison. You know what I find hard? Not getting sick from gluten in the first place! It can be tough because I have no relief from not eating gluten...

    I have not yet been to Spain (want to, though) so I am afraid I cannot help you there. But I have been to lots of European countries and so many seem to have increasing awareness. I totally get that you are concerned about food poisoning, etc. while pregnant. I do not think it would hurt to add info about pregnancy (your example, raw fish, etc.). ...

    Same situation here. My dietitian and Gastroenterologist told me not to have even certified gluten-free oats for two years post diagnosis. Their reasoning is that they believe it takes our guts two to five years to heal fully and that consuming oats can potentially lengthen that process by irritating the gut. Not sure whether that is 100% accurate or not...

    Yours was one of those I just could not figure out! Now I know.

    Too late for your lunch today but I like to make various kinds of pesto for my pasta. One of my favourites other than the ubiquitous Genovese is sundried tomato pesto (which you cannot have) but another uses almonds and mint with the basil. Thin it with some of the pasta water (pasta water contains starch which makes a smooth sauce) and add some Parmesan...

    Love2travel is pretty self explanatory but others are not so obvious. This has piqued my curiosity for ages. Do some of you mind sharing what made you choose your member name and what it means?

    Here in Canada I have no problems finding gluten-free lentils. Are you talking canned lentils or dried? I always use dried (taste much better than canned, anyway, and far better for most recipes, especially braising) and pick them over. Tedious, yes, but it works! Lentils de Puy hold together better than other lentil varieties when cooked.

    Keep in mind Italy is one of the best countries on the planet for celiac awareness. As I said before, I had absolutely no problems with celiac in Italy (other than intense pizza cravings, etc.). Although I showed my servers my restaurant cards they were so well versed that they said they did not need them (but I did request that they show the cards to the...

    I get your concern about travel. My husband and I own a house in Europe and our first trip post diagnosis was a little scary BUT my fears were unfounded. After doing a lot of research I found that many countries (especially Italy) are so aware of celiac. Have not yet been to France since my diagnosis but are going next year (my husband has his AGM there...

    The sauce I posted above should be soy (unless fish sauce contains soy?) and peanut free. You could also add a few drops of sesame oil for more flavour. I have scads of other recipes - will look through them for you...

    I had my biopsies done and am glad I did for presence of mind. I did not get sick from eating gluten at all so was in denial that I could have celiac. If I did not get them done I still would be always wondering whether I truly had it or not and likely would still be consuming gluten and loving it. Now without question I know and am super diligent as a...

    That reminds me. I posted a recipe for awesome garlic shoestring "fries" yesterday. You infuse olive oil with garlic and add to the fries before baking. Anyway, as a result you get some lovely crispy minced garlic that is awesome on popcorn (and pretty much anything - except maybe chocolate cake!). The infused oil would be fabulous on the popcorn, too...

    That is about the only kitchen tool I do not have for some weird reason. I will be getting a new Vita Mix in a few days and cannot wait to make all sorts of leathers and wonderfully healthy juices. Perhaps I should buy a dehydrator - whenever I make leathers or fruit chips I wonder why I don't have one. I also like to dry citrus, tomatoes, herbs for blends...

    You are welcome. We had a cool summer (with frost in some areas a week ago) but yet now we have had temps in the 90s for a solid week. Great for the farmers but not great for those of us (pick me) who cannot tolerate heat. But I cannot complain - it has been very nice weather (except extremely dry). As we have no A/C, I, too, love to cook dishes such...
