    Oh, I am SO sorry for all you are going through. At first it seems impossible and overwhelming and you definitely do go through a grieving phase. Emotions run high (speaking from experience). We understand what you are going through - we really do. Last week I had some corn tortilla chips after checking the ingredients and website. However, today I received...

    Sorry! BP is baking powder and S is salt.
  3. love2travel
    That is true. I should have differentiated that in my post!

    Me, neither, but I do occasionally get cramps from milk but never cheeses, yogurt and so on. Only milk and only when I drink a whole glass or more so I just drink it half a glass at a time. Does not affect me in cooking and baking, thankfully. I love to use coconut milk in recipes.

    I really like The Culinary Institute of America's "Gluten-Free Baking" as it includes interesting recipes that most other more basic books do not, such as eclairs, naan, pretzels, English muffins, etc. Another I like is Annalise Roberts' "Gluten-Free Baking Classics". I have found for brownie or butterscotch brownie recipes it's simple to just use your...

    Me, too! I have attributed it to a severe back injury I sustained three years ago but since I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few weeks ago am beginning to re-think it. My calves are so painful that my massage therapist has a very difficult time working with them. Same with my chest and rib cage. She said last week she is convinced there is something...

    My husband took gluten-free brownies to work the other day and they were polished off in minutes. No one even thought to ask about their being gluten-free but they were! I also made some luscious gluten-free butterscotch brownies yesterday - there is no way you can tell they are gluten-free. However, brownies are probably the easiest things to make gluten...

    Had migraines but they have stopped about 10 years ago, thankfully. One thing that is likely related is having several miscarriages (no children). I also have a severe back injury (3 years ago - herniated discs, myofascial pain, IT band syndrome, sciatica and so on) and that pain is growing worse. Must usually stand up to eat and lie down on the floor to...

    It's extremely tough as I have to be super dilligent(well, we all do). But because there are no reminders sometimes I wonder if the biopsy results were actually mine?! Plus I enjoyed being on the gluten challenge a little too much - I was pigging out on all my favourites with no ill effects (except for my insides). My family members are extremely good...

    Sear some unpeeled potatoes, add thick chunks of gluten-free chorizo and season with a touch of smoked paprika and S and P, and throw the whole pan into the oven to roast. Sprinkle with scallions or ramps. I know that you cannot unfortunately have dairy ( ) but for those who can you can sprinkle with some old cheddar, manchego, whatever.

    Absolutely no clue if I have been glutened. I almost never eat out, am extremely cautious with CC and incredibly vigilent with whatever I eat. However, I am concerned that what if there is something I am ingesting such as my lipstick or some weird thing like that is not truly gluten-free. I was TOLD it is but without a reaction how the heck do I truly...

    Me, too. I feel robbed. My husband and I travel all over the world on culinary journeys and that has changed dramatically. It's not fair that I as such a major foodie has been dealt such a crushing blow. I teach cooking classes for crying out loud. And I felt fine before finding out I have celiac disease - better than I do now so that seems...

    You are welcome!

    My dietitian and GI surgeon told me that here in Canada the limit is 10 ppm (unsure if that is a new thing?). I don't go by that, anyway - my limit is 0 ppm but of course I am aware that things can happen...

    I make delicious gluten-free potato ricotta gnudi as well as pasta and sauces. My husband and I travel to Italy twice a year and I find it extremely difficult to pass on the gluten-laden dishes there. Traveling to different countries is when I am most tempted - at home I'm not as I make everthing myself. But Italy....sigh....

    Me, too! I've been strictly gluten-free about 18 or so days and am not myself. I felt much better on gluten as I did not feel ill at all and now I do. Not bad, just yucky. Plus my short-term memory is atrocious - I struggle frequently to find a word when I am speaking. Sooooo unlike me. Hope this ends soon as it is sort of disconcerting!

    My question is, to have an increased chance of an accurate blood test result (which I understand is sort of unlikely anyway), how much gluten do I need to be eating? I've been eating about one serving a day of wheat crackers. Which is not much. How much gluten should I be eating, and is it likely that I need to continue eating it for 3 months? My diet has...

    They can be made a couple of different ways but I suspect in this case they are like potato pancakes (i.e. grated, mixed with egg or whatever for binding and seasoning then fried). They are very good!
  19. love2travel
    Sounds delicious! I love how the outside edges become so crispy and the centres remain tender. Mmmm....
  20. love2travel
    Yum. I know these as Hasselback Potatoes. Either way, they are good. I also add slivers of garlic in between the slices but then I LOVE garlic. Then top with Parmesan. Sometimes I get a little carried away...

    That is what I am doing, too - cooking with naturally gluten-free stuff rather than snacking. And lots of yummy gluten-free baking. And continuing to teach cooking classes, both naturally gluten-free and gluten-free baking. It is a lot of fun experimenting with all sorts of flours! Thankfully we have a store in our town with a large selection of gluten...

    It DOES suck. Definitely. I was floored and shocked when my doctor told me my blood test results were highly indicative of celiac disease (I seriously thought there was some technical error) then my biopsies confirmed what I was fearing. It is so hard to do this when I felt better pigging out on gluten. In a way it seems pointless but I know I have no...

    You and I have similar start dates! I have been gluten-free 12 days and am finding it hard because I did not have any symptoms before so I sometimes grieve what I am missing. My husband is extremely supportive but not totally gluten-free (I don't blame him). He eats what I cook and bake but he has his own cereal and bread. As my biopsies came back...

    All from scratch: Roasted potato, leek and pancetta soup; fresh pasta a la limone; homemade focaccia; fudge brownies for dessert (if we have room in our tummies!).
