Thanks for your replies. I had my scan today and the baby was really well. I will just eat at home now so I know that I'm safe.

I'm really worried that I've done something to hurt my baby. Last night I really wanted pizza, so I bought a gluten free pizza from this place that I've eaten at lots of times before. I've never had any problems when I've had their pizza before so I wasn't worried when I ate it, but an hour later I've had my classic glutened symptoms. I went from being...

I have dried fruit and nuts, and gluten-free museli bars for snacks. I always take a meal with me, usually leftovers from dinner. There's not much safe options if I don't bring food with me where I work. Chocolate is good too

I wanted to create a list of foods that I have had since being gluten free that have made me happy and made me realise that I don't have miss out on foods just because I can't eat gluten anymore. I would love everyone to share their lists too. Chocolate Brownies Choc Chip cookies Orange Almond cake Friands Carrot Cake Zucchini Pancakes French...

You have to try some of the recipes, the featherlight bread is yummy. My next attempt will be the sweet apricot and almond version of the featherlight bread. My biggest problem is deciding which recipe to try next. The french bread rolls are one of my favourites, and the pizza base recipe makes yummy pizza. I have only had one disaster while making...

Ratatouille with parmesan corn bread. Carrot Cake for dessert.

I have been doing lots of gluten-free baking lately and having so much success with recipes from Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread and Makes Dessert. A lot of her recipes have Garfava flour in them. I cannot buy Garfava flour in Australia, so I have been experimenting. Many of her recipes call for the four flour bean mix 2/3 part garfava...

I make lots of gluten free baked goods and I always use xanthan gum when it is in the recipe. It gives the batter/dough a sticky texture. It surprises me that many say it is too expensive to buy, I agree that it is expensive to buy by weight, you only need very small amounts for it to work. If it doesn't bother you, I would still use it.

Yesterday my manager brought cake in to work. She told me "this is gluten free so you have to eat it". She has never discussed my gluten intolerance with me, but other people at work have told her. A couple of time people have brought gluten free snacks to work before, and when I have had them there have been times that I have got sick afterwards because...

I was very sick with no diagnosis, and when I tried cutting out gluten I got better. After this I was tested, I am positive for the gene, and negetive on blood tests and gastroscope. Doctors say that I am not celiac and can eat gluten. Whenever I have gluten, even a tiny amount from CC, I get really sick now. The longer I am gluten free, the more strongly...

Since going gluten free, I hardly ever eat out, so that saves a lot of money. I just keep trying to find recipes so that I can make things myself. I now bake gluten-free bread cheaper than when I used to buy fresh wheat bread, and it's much nicer than the expensive gluten-free bread at the shops. I have found that there are products like rice and tapioca...

I will look out for Our Mate and FF vege spread. Maybe I'm just hoping for too much. I have been gluten free for about 9 months, maybe I will like mighty mite better after my memories of vegemite have faded more.

One thing that I am really missing is vegemite! Vegemite on toast has been my comfort food since I was little. I have tried mightymite, but the taste and texture is so wrong... are there any other options?

I invited my friend over for dinner, she told me that she can't eat wheat, dairy or nightshades as she is intolerant to them all (she is also vegetarian). I'm gluten intolerant and my partner is vegetarian, so I'm used to cooking with those constraints and reading labels for ingredients. I spend a fair amount of time searching for recipes that fit her requirements...

Mushroom and Rosemary risotto, and gluten free apple and peach cobbler for dessert
