    My husband only eats gluten outside of the kitchen and if he has a piece of pizza, for example, he knows to go downstairs. Oh, except for bread but he has his own knife, cutting board and prep area and thankfully is very good at scrubbing and cleaning so our risk is pretty darned low. In fact, he almost never has bread or other gluten at home for my...

    Man, I must admit I'm jealous. There is nowhere even remotely close around here that has gluten-free pizza (or gluten-free food for that matter). Well, ok. Just one. Boston Pizza. Other than that there is absolutely nowhere I can eat out unless we go to the city three hours away. But that's ok - I love to cook and can better avoid CC that way!

    Just can't bring myself to do it. I feel like it's all or nothing with me and must, knowing my personality type (!), go the full 100%. I don't get sick from gluten (i.e. was accidentally glutened, felt good on my gluten challenge) so must be extra, extra careful in case I do get glutened without knowing it.

    Congratulations on going to Europe! My husband and I go 2 or 3 times a year. Food used to be a huge reason for travel - now, not so much. Eating out is the hardest part of the whole celiac thing for me, especially as a big foodie. In three weeks from now we'll be in Croatia where it is far tougher than many European countries because they have so...

    Oh, how awful! Yes, lying around is really HARD! There is only so much you can read, play on the laptop, etc. Then the more you lie around the more wasted muscles become producing more pain, sleep difficulty and on and on. It just does not stop! The tricky thing is my husband and I have booked flights to Italy and Croatia for less than three weeks...

    My physiotherapist and massage therapist have suspected fibromyalgia for some time. My chiropractor did a bunch of testing today and confirmed it. My back was injured three years ago (badly) so I was attributing my back problems to that (I still have disc herniation, degenerative disc disease and so on). I know there is a strong link between celiac disease...

    I find her recipes to be amongst the best in my opinion. Some of her recipes are a little different from the usual boring dull themes which is sooooooo refreshing. Try her coconut layer cake, too - it is brilliant!

    Being such an avid baker and cook I remember the gluten stuff so very well. A stand mixer will make all the difference in your baking, especially gluten free. I could not do without mine, that is for certain. Many recipes just could not be done without one. Am using my pasta maker far less often now, though - it's so sad. Fresh gluten-free...

    It's good that you like it - we all need our treats, that is for sure. One reason I do not is that I have been spoiled over the years with authentic pizza in Europe and nothing will compare. Even regular gluten pizza doesn't! So, I confess my pickiness. I also love using my hands and making everything I can - it's stress relieving and enjoyable to...

    How long did the B12 take to work for you? I started taking it about five weeks ago an feel no different yet. My insomnia is severe (due to an extremely painful back injury) and is only helped by prescription drugs. Wonder if B12 would help in my case??!!
  12. love2travel
    My insomnia is extremely difficult to bear. It is mainly due to severe back/hip/pelvic/shoulder/leg pain from a severe back injury three years ago. The only reprieve I get is with prescription sleeping pills. It's a horrible cycle. If I can't sleep my muscles cannot replenish themselves so the pain becomes worse then I cannot sleep because of the pain...

    I did the gluten challenge for three months and had NO symptoms whatsoever (but then I did not have any before, either). But my biopsies and bloodwork show without a shadow of a doubt I do indeed have celiac disease.
  14. love2travel
    Since I've become gluten-free two months ago I've noticed that as soon as I do not have enough fibre (that I used to get from tons of gluten-laden products) I have those symptoms. When I get enough fibre no problem. Perhaps something else to look into? My dietician told me to get 25g per day so I am really trying to adhere to that.

    For pancakes I like a bit of almond or coconut flour for yummy flavour. My favourite mixes include millet, one of my favourites.

    OK - will let you know. I am now looking for recipes but may go with hers. What are you topping yours with?
  17. love2travel
    Stop it! OK - will definitely be making pizza tomorrow.

    Good one! Maybe I should. It would get my arms in better shape, too. I really miss the art of making real bread. And the smell of it. And the stuff we can no longer put on it. Man, I had better stop this "woe is me" garbage!

    Still working on recipes for bread, pizza crust, etc.! Posted one awhile ago on tortilla wraps. I haven't forgotten... I have never owned a bread machine as I love to make my own but gluten-free versions take all the fun out of the kneading and such. I would be very interested if someone were to purchase one of these babies. Think I'll look into...

    Does it feel like muscle pain? I have had severe pain below my chest for a few years but the cause is from myofascial pain syndrome resulting from herniated discs in my back. Trigger points are located there. When my doctor presses the area I nearly jump into the air. It worsened when I had bronchitis and pneumonia in December (all that coughing) and...

    The good news is that most of the recipes are intrinsically gluten-free anyway. And those that are not are easily done with substitutions.

    BTW, you can easily make gluten-free cornbread! It's delicious. Far too many to pick one so I'll choose the first that come to mind: - Seared Duck Breast with Pomeganate Reduction with Wild Mushroom Risotto or Lentils Braised in Red Wine - Drunken Leeks - Roast Chicken with Herb Butter and Moroccan Rub - Baby Back Ribs about 100 ways....

    I make my own hummus but purchase my gluten-free cacao nibs at Nutters (local health food store - don't think you have them in the US?). The brand is Organic Traditions and is gluten-free, non GMO and nut free. Plus it is certified organic. What do you use your cacao nibs for? Amongst other things I love to make rubs for beef, add to smoothies, dips...

    Oh, I'm sorry that you get sick from peanuts. Good luck with your new batch - hopefully you'll find something that works for you!!
