ARCHIVED Easter Dinner Sure Is Easier Than Thanksgiving And Christmas!
MJ-S replied to Monklady123's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
There are some wines that are "fined" with casein. This is process by which wine is filtered to remove the impurities. Wine can be fined with all kinds of things, including egg, casein, or gelatin. Here is one link that talks about it: Open Original Shared Link If you really are concerned you need to check with the winery or purchase vegan wines.... -
Thank you for all the support! It's a learning curve and I just need to be patient. One of the dangers of negative blood work is that I've felt that I couldn't possibly be soo sensitive as to have to throw out my favorite wooden spoons which have been washed multiple times since the kitchen went gluten-free (or could I)? So after not feeling great...

ARCHIVED Easter Dinner Sure Is Easier Than Thanksgiving And Christmas!

I was very apprehensive about Easter at my in-law's house. I ended up taking a yummy appetizer that I could eat and my own meal (grilled chicken and fresh salad made just the way picky me likes it). Doesn't sound very exciting, but my husband's family are not renowned for their cooking skills and so my dish looked better than the actual meal (dried out roast... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Making Me Uproot Myself
MJ-S replied to LivesIntheSun's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
From a purely "gluten" perspective, Andalucia in Spain would not be my first choice. They fry everything, usually with flour. You can ask for food plain "a la plancha", and I think you'd get better results than in Colombia, but there are other parts of Spain where you'd be safer. What about Valencia/Murcia? They are very vegetable/paella oriented. Also... -
And that is a statement that could result in a lawsuit, were you so inclined. Even more surprising because people can be alcohol-free so many other reasons (ex-alcoholic, religious reasons, just don't like it, etc.) that it's not at all uncommon to encounter people who don't drink alcohol. Maybe HE's an alcoholic.

Yes, that's been key. I've kept a food diary throughout the process; with that and the allergy testing (positive for plums, hazelnuts, sesame - all of which I avoid) I've wanted to be "totally sure". I also hope that maybe one day I'll be able to have dairy again, which I dearly miss (much more than gluten).

I've been gathering so much incredible information on this board for the last few months - I just wanted to introduce myself and share my story! I've also been meaning to document everything with a timeline, so hopefully I apologize in advance for TMI. I figure there is no better audience! March 2010: I started getting sick. It was very sudden (no illness...
