    In case you were wondering How Long has Celiac "been around"....read this "Brief History of Celiac" Open Original Shared Link

    Twice a week. I see one specialist PT (for the pelvic floor dysfunction) and another PT for the rest of me. Every muscle, tendon, ligament and the fascia is affected. My bones hurt. The cat sitting on my legs is too much for me! The PT is grueling, but I do it because I will not let this beat me. Plus, at-home stretches and exercises and gentle strengthening...

    Ditto...and amen to that, sister!

    I wish to clarify something I said...I think the incidence of celiac IS on the rise due to many variables, including environmental triggers, but the INCREASE IN DIAGNOSES has come from the ability of people to RECOGNIZE the disease as it manifests, especially in adults who present with symptoms that are not just gastrointestinal but also Extra-intestinal...

    Sounds like fun...have a good visit and remember...it's simple, you are doing this for FRAN!!
  6. IrishHeart
    YES!!!! here's a perfect example to illustrate what I ranted about above...check out this article posted today by admin.. Where does this writer mention the EXTRA-INTESTINAL symptoms we all suffer?? arrgh!
  7. IrishHeart
    Hang in there, kiddo!!
  8. IrishHeart
    hope it comes out okay!!

    Agree totally! As I said, no one makes money if we are all healthy. Celiac isn't a "new " disease (genetic predisposition suggests generations of it--it was just undiagnosed) or "on the rise"...it is that people are being diagnosed properly (finally!) We spent over $40K out of pocket (never added up what the insurance covered--cannot imagine!...

    Fran, I send you good vibes, best wishes and a giant cyber-space hug...keep us posted! Hang tough, warrior princess IH

    Nope. the baker told us that tenting makes it steam and that causes some collapsing of the loaf. It will get a dark crust, but it still tastes good.

    here ya go...

    YUP!! Like I said, BIG PHARMA...$$$$$$$$ There is NO money to be made if no one is in doctor's offices with health problems looking for a magic bullet to make the pain go away. I have come to realize that "symptom- treating" (which is what mainstream medical doctors do in this country) is very lucrative. Gosh, I have become such a cynic. I guess...
  15. IrishHeart
    Amen to that, sister!!

    This was an experiment on our part...the bag of Expandex came with recipe cards and we followed the one for French Bread. That sucker rose so high, it overflowed and made a mess of the oven I suggest you put something under the bread pan! It's really just tapioca starch...and you use quite a lot of it in the recipe. So, it DOES the job, but be...

    I don't think he does....he's at the gym right now ....I'll get back to you on that!

    I was not serious about taking the vaccine to eat Mom's apple pie. Honestly, I have had the same experiences with drugs that Ravenwood has had...there's NO WAY IN HELL I would "TRUST" the FDA approval for Big Pharma drugs again. It's the "symptom-treating", drug-loving medical profession that left me out to dry for 25 years. The ONLY relief...
  19. IrishHeart
    hope it works for you. At first, I thought...that sucker's gonna burn ....but it did not. Outside was dark, but tasted good.
  20. IrishHeart
    Oh good! Hubby just said...did you tell her to use a HEAVY pan?? LOL Or it will burn (I'll go back and edit that into the recipe) Okay, happy baking!!
  21. IrishHeart
    I just posted the bread recipe on the other thread we are conversing on. Hope you like it... We had all the same issues until we raised the oven temperature 50 degrees (a gluten-free baker gave us this advice) and we tried reduced liquid, longer cook-time. etc to no avail...the secret was raising the temp in the oven....
  22. IrishHeart
    No. that's a good thought though! I eat gluten-free oats and suffer no reactions.
  23. IrishHeart
    No, we bought the Expandex to try it. I do have her book Celiac Disease The First Year. It is the best book for newbies and I recommend it to anyone I meet with celiac disease. okay, here's the recipe. Hope you like it! I'll feel bad if you think it sucks!! Sandwich Loaf Use a 4X4X8 HEAVY loaf pan (or it will burn). Spray it with Pam. ...

    No, we use Bob's Red Mill flours or flour from NUtsOnLine. We did use an "all-purpose" flour mix from Gluten-Free Baking Classics by Annalise G. Roberts for a while. It was okay! Now, it's more like a mish-mash of several people's ideas and suggestions. Not one "all-purpose flour". He worked on that basic bread recipe for 5 months (mostly, they...

    OOps...I did not know I bragged that much about his bread (red faced) sorry...LOL Sure, I'll be happy to post it...let me ask him what he does....and get it on here! I just double posted by accident on here about Expandex. we tried that yesterday in a loaf and it gave me the "gluten willies" ...ever try it??
