    Yaay! nothing like a successful dessert. Glad it worked out!

    I had mouth soreness, swollen gums, and terrible burning tongue and mouth for 3 years before my DX. No doctor could explain it. Some said it was "hormonal", some said it was "idiopathic", blah blah blah It gradually went away after going gluten-free. If you are gluten-free, maybe it is something else causing it.. like a vitamin C or B-12 or other...

    LOL....I never think paranoia is a "good thing". Paranoia is wasted energy, IMHO. Hi Marie!! (1) corn masa is usually gluten-free. ,maybe it was cced? who knows. I get mine from nuts/com where it is certified gluten-free. (2) if you get glutened or you are sick with the flu or food poisoning or anything of that nature....let it out. kid. The...

    I admit, I am so lucky I have a friend with a gluten-free bakery who makes enough cookies to make me chubby! LOL I am so glad you can get some treats over there, hon! Please try a good broad spectrum probiotic to see if you can get that D/loose bowel situation under control. How about this one? I have used it with good results and it can be...

    All I can say is...read this man's blog posts. Peter Bronski. He co-wrote the book The Gluten Free Edge. He is a celiac and he is an athlete and he makes sense to me Open Original Shared Link

    Iherb. does cookies?? I only tap them for vitamins and supps!

    exactly! if you want your family and friends to understand where you are coming from, well, you have to do some "educating"! I say: Make a nice dinner, invite them over ....and show them that delicious food is not a "celiac" or Gluten issue.. ......it's about great food, good times and happiness. I have friends coming for dinner tomorrow and they have...

    I am sorry about the flooding too, Nicole. It has rained 13 inches here in the last 3 weeks, but finally, it stopped. Just crazy weather. The poor people who are still recovering from SuperStorm Sandy in NY---just got whacked again by flooding when the creeks overran the borders again. I feel so bad for them. I hope you remain safe and sound...

    Those sound like YUM! Maybe we need a "popsicle recipe thread" (there probably already is one but I am too lazy to look. )

    - Gluten challenges in children with Celiac Disease may increase the risk of the development of additional autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes… And yet, many pediatric GIs will insist upon this step as part of the diagnosis. Thanks for posting this informative article, Jess.

    I am one of the few who said "Oh thank God...I've got Celiac Disease! whew!". too ( It stopped the madness and the slow dying thing. ) WELCOME to the family! After you peruse that Newbie 101 thread, may I suggest you read Real Life With Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis and Daniel Leffler Anything you want to know is in there. Over 50 articles...

    Me neither. Enjoy! I confess to making mango or pineapple juice popsicles myself in those Tovolo Groovy Ice Pop Molds No kids here...just me what can I say? I like them.

    "A room without books is like a body without a soul. " I refuse to give up my book for a Nook. I am a dinosaur. I like holding it, smelling it and turning the pages. I have so many books, I have started donating them and giving them away (gasp!) because they will cost me a fortune to ship to Florida. I can't believe I am letting some of them go.......

    I love iherb! and ama zon prime (free shipping). Don't know what I did before online shopping hahaha

    Well, that's a huge bummer, sorry, hon. I wonder why there is so much use of barley. Strange ingredient to choose as thickener/binder.. anyway, I had a thought...can you mail order some G F soy sauce packets for your own use? When will you be coming back to the States? soon?
  18. IrishHeart
    Yeah "poopology" does not bother me I made it my business to learn about the GI tract (no matter how ugly and gross it may be) so I could get well. Diarrhea is very loose and watery and occurs frequently throughout the day. Here are the "basics of diarrhea" Open Original Shared Link I found good quality probiotics, fiber and drinking lots...

    Mild celiac is like "sorta pregnant". I am pretty sure you have Celiac, hon. "Welcome to the family and the forum!" may I suggest you start here: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ Read and ask us any questions you may have. We are here for you. The best book I can recommend is: Real Life with Celiac Disease...

    Your baking products need a binder//thickener /stabilizer to make it rise (something gluten does in wheat flours)] xanthan gum does this for us G F bakers. Some people say you can bake G F goods without it, but I do not agree. However, in a simple cobbler recipe like the one you link to? You can do without it.

    I go to the gym and workout before I go there. Once the initial "OMYGOD!ICANEATANYTHINGINTHISPLACEIWANT!!" wore off, I have been more controlled. I really do not get sweets every time I am there. Honest. The thing is, she is very sweet and makes special things for everyone--how can you say no when it is a gift? I am thinking that would be...

    I asked my friend what she uses in the deep fryers in the G F bakery. Canola. (can't use soybean or peanut--she is thinking of everyone's various allergies and intolerances). she's a sweetheart and partly the reason I have gained 40 lbs. since diagnosis..
  23. IrishHeart
    This! I totally agree.

    I am fortunate that my friend who owns a gluten-free bakery makes donuts on Fridays. Glazed, Boston creme with chocolate frosting. lemon filled and a strawberry frosted number with sprinkles that kids like. I have tried them on occasion and they are soft and squishy and puffy, but if I continue to indulge, that is how they will describe me "soft...
