  1. Thinking of you! In our house we "fell" one by one -- first one daughter was diagnosed, then the second, then me. We ended up purging the house of all gluten. We call our house the "all-inclusive" dining experience and don't let anyone bring anything over. It's just simpler... It might be good to have everyone in the...
  2. looking forward to hearing about the can lining. ...as another data point, I can't do anything with canola oil ...we LOVE tuna with avocado mash ...I also use soy-free vegenaise (from Whole Foods) and like it Good luck!
  3. Hi there, I will add another layer: lectins. We have a wonderful little girl who is about to turn 6 who had itching (no rashes) and joint/muscle pain 2-3 times a week. Eventually she was diagnosed Celiac. We took her off gluten and her itching/joint/muscle pain went from 8-12 times a month to about once a month. I mentioned this to my cardiologist...
  4. :) Awesome. It looked a little like the Gunks in New York. Jtree was awesome--with little kids we're only doing single pitches these days! We also climbed at Red Rocks outside Las Vegas earlier this year--gorgeous rock, friendlier than Jtree! Keep climbing!

  6. I didn't want to high-jack the persons thread, you had asked a question in. Nice to hear from a person in the forum that knows how to tie a figure eight knot. The climb is at barn bluff in redwing Minnesota. All single pitch climbs. Nothing compared to joshua tree (soooo jealous). Cheers.

  7. Mom to fraternal twin girls with Celiac Disease.

    10/2010 Suspected Twin B had issues with gluten (itching and severe nighttime joint pain). No doctors would test!

    12/2011 Convinced allergist (my childhood friend) to test

    4/2012 Confirmed both girls with celiac disease

    Currently gluten loading around town (not in our gluten-free home!) so I can test!

  8. I really really really appreciate you all! Thank you for all your insights, sharing your stories, tolerating my questions This has to be one of the best, most helpful, kind, gentle, honest online groups I've ever encountered. The silver lining of Celiac Disease Heartfelt gratitude! And, as I discovered in my St. Patrick's Day wanderings: ...
  9. Excellent, thank you! I needed a reality check!
  10. Just to double check from a scientific standpoint, which of these statements are correct? - Using soap and water will wash away but not deactivate gluten - White vinegar will kill just the glutenin - Bleach will deactivate just the glutenin - Everclear will deactivate both the gliadin and the glutenin - Everclear will deactivate both the gliadin...
  11. Boy are people at the store going to think I have a problem...me marching out with a case of everclear!!! I'm just going to be honest, "Just going to do some sanitizing of my kitchen, you know, kill the gluten!" They're going to think I've lost it! ...and, perhaps I have! One way or another, I'm going to rid my house of that nasty protein!
  12. Thanks! That was what I was looking for!
  13. My DH and I are debating how best to "sanitize" the kitchen of gluten. We're trying to understand the science behind what destroys gluten. Here is all I've learned/found so far: gluten is not water soluble, gliadin is alcohol-soluble and glutenin is soluble in acids/alkalis. From wikipedia: Gluten is the composite of a gliadin and a glutelin, which...
