    Thank you! It’s very easy to make seedy crackers. They are much more nutritious than commercial gluten free bread,

    This article came at an important time for me. I suffered an entire year with unilateral neuropathy (nerve pain). It was finally a physiotherapist who discussed my diet with me. She knew her stuff! She asked me what I had for breakfast every day. I said, avocado toast. She said that the avocado was good but that the toast was devoid of nutrients, and was...

    I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten...

Ask your doctor. My naturopathic doctor also told me ...

    Thank you for writing this! This explains so much to me! I had a lifetime of health problems and finally at age 55 I went to a naturopathic doctor- after trips to emergency numerous times, also neurologists for migraines, dermatologists for skin rashes.... I am now 68 and was officially diagnosed as being strongly celiac. This website is the only real education...

    Yes, that would cause your symptoms. So sad because ratatouille doesn’t call for pasta! That happened to me in Lisbon. We went to a seafood restaurant and the waiter assured me it was gluten free. It had overcooked macaroni in it which caused the same problem. By the way, my mother, and many others did not get it after my diagnosis and always acted as if “...
