    For some reason I posted this under "Post Diagnosis" so I thought I should add it here in case anyone is interested.

    The lecture was called "Celiac Disease is NOT a Food Allergy" by Dr. Connie Switzer. Great start! Topics included the following (I have a handout): Gluten Sensitive Disorders Prevalence of Adverse Food Reactions Spectrum of Adverse Food Reactions Diagnosis and Outcomes Features of Food Intolerances Features of Food Allergy Definition...

    My husband gets to go to places such as London, Paris and San Francisco for meetings for about ten days at a home with his job so I truly understand! Sometimes they invite spouses, too, which is wonderful. They get SPOILED at these things. In Paris next year they have rented the entire Palace of Versailles for dinner! We've been aboard aircraft carriers...

    It can be done but the resulting product is often crumbly. I've had success using psyllium husk fibre (and measuring by volume). When baking with gluten-free flour, aerate the blend in the canister or bag then spoon it into a cup before levelling. Don't use the spoon as a scoop as you will get up to 20% more flour than you want. Unfortunately xanthan...

    Me, too. I used to work for an international organic certification agency and was horrified at what I saw on farm inspections. Don't even get me started on that...

    So, I'm not the only one who craves baking? When I reward myself for something it's food. I LOVE FOOD. And sometimes not the healthiest. I made a coconut lime layer cake with coconut buttercream two days ago and there is only one piece left. My husband has had quite a bit, too, but I have had more. Ever since going gluten-free I've had wicked baking...

    We are fortunate to get ours from a local organic farmer. The yolks are the colour of pumpkins. Beautiful!

    I can hear the excitement in your voice! Thanks for sharing your encouraging and thrilling news. You must feel like a new person in ways! Way to go!! And welcome back.

    Korean marinated beef skewers on bibb lettuce with sesame dressing; bay infused Jasmine rice; shaved raw asparagus salad with Parmesan shards and lemon vinaigrette. Again, coconut layer cake with coconut buttercream for dessert.

    Thurso? I've been there! Lovely area. What a dream it would be to move back there!! I hope you are able to.

    This has happened to me since I was 13, each and every month. Not fun but I have grown so used to it. The back pain gets quite severe so I take prescription muscle relaxants. Perhaps something to look into! Midol and Pamprin extra strength can also make a big difference.

    No, I have not been to Lanimer - will google it as I have not heard of it! I live in northern Alberta (oil country). My travels have taken me to Germany, Austria, France, Liechtenstein, England, Scotland, Wales, Croatia, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovena - several return visits. After the first time in Europe (Scotland) we fell so hard in love we...

    Interesting description - have never been there. But at least you are near wonderful beauty! Where I live one must drive several hours to get anywhere/see anything of interest.

    Greetings from Canada! I know Lanark. Scotland is one of my favourite countries on the planet. My first trip overseas was to Scotland and I've been there many times. There just are no words to describe the pull it has on me. The castles are the best there are - I've been to over 125 in Europe. I can think of nothing as atmospheric as a brooding castle...

    I was gluten-free for several months before going back on it for my gluten challenge. During my challenge I pigged out on all kinds of delicious gluten-filled things and never got sick in the three months I was on it. Following my positive diagnosis for celiac disease I was accidentally glutened by hidden gluten a couple of months ago and nothing. No symptoms...

    All the following is being grilled as I speak: - haloumi drizzled with new green olive oil from Croatia and toasted walnuts - carrots with rosemary and scallions - zucchini with Parmesan and chili oil - pork tenderloin with Jezebel sauce - rosemary skewered potatoes with roasted garlic aioli gluten-free Coconut Layer Cake with Coconut Buttercream...

    I posted one a couple of months ago - can you check under my name? I think it is called Spicy and Sweet BBQ Sauce. Made a big batch of it Friday. I have well over 100 recipes if you want more...DUH. The OP was a year ago.

    When I found out I have Celiac I was devastated, admittedly. I was screened for it as my sister was gluten intolerant and the remainder of the family was to be tested. Gluten doesn't make me feel sick at all which does not give me a lot of incentive to be gluten-free. Food has always been a HUGE part of my life. One of my passions is cooking - food in...

    Just planted my herb garden today (our summers are very short here). Each year I plant: - rosemary (I must bring it in for the winter) - lots of Genovese basil - sage - regular thyme and lemon thyme - lemon verbena - a few kinds of mint - if you plant mint, do so in a container - it is prolific and spreads like wild! - chives and garlic chives ...

    I've been gluten-free for nearly three months and know I was accidentally glutened twice when eating a product that had been marked gluten-free but the manufacturer contacted me and told me it was not. If they had not contacted me I would have had no clue that I was glutened because I don't get sick. On my three-month gluten challenge I did not get sick...

    Or worse - an island in northern Alberta in January??!! I would love to be stranded on an isolated island with my husband, away from the maddng crowds. But to reiterate what I said earlier, I would eat gluten if my life depended on it.

    Here on the prairies it is finally getting green. Most trees are now leafed out. But our lawn is brownish as it is so very dry. My gardening zone is Zone 1a - an average of just 87 frost-free days per year. Yuck if you are a gardener like me! So, coming here from lush green Croatia to the odd tree here and there this week has not been pleasant. We're...

    I haven't been to the UK gluten-free yet. So glad to hear about Ireland. One of the reasons we have bought a house in Europe is the pace of life. No comparison with here. There are about 1,302 good reasons but that is a biggie! BTW, on one of our flights (a shorter one, 4 hours) the movie monitors were not working so we did not have any distractions...
