A change in diagnosis

Well, I never ever thought this day would come.... but for the past few months I've been seeing a urologist, and even had a minor procedure done to fix a problem with my bladder.... and when I saw my surgeon this week I got told the most unexpected thing ever ( Read more... )

UK gluten free help

I'm going to be over in London (hotel in Covent Garden area) for a little over a week, arriving Friday. I have not had any chance to research food and all - but over the years I've seen a number of you posting from there, so I thought I'd ask here first ( Read more... )

genetic test results

tragic_4 wrote in celiac Mar 20, 2013 17:34

I just received the results of my genetic tests which came back positive for having a genetic predisposition to celiac disease. The doctor said this does not mean that I have celiac disease for sure, but that I could. My blood antibody tests (when consuming gluten) were previously negative, and my own results to going on a gluten-free diet were ( Read more... )

Weddings

I'm invited to a wedding in June and I don't know what to do about the food... Do I tell the bride not to put me down for a dish? Or ask what alternatives could be served? I obviously don't want her to try to figure out what ONE person can eat, but at the same time I feel really awkward sitting there not eating... And I don't want them to ( Read more... )

Hair Dye?

delicatelephant wrote in celiac Feb 06, 2013 21:53

I forgot to read the ingredients on some developer and let my friend dye my hair. Turns out it has gluten in it. It was already in at that point. We washed it out. The color has changed. Can I get sick from just touching my hair now? I will take precautions assuming yes, but really? This sucks.

Question for bakers

We don't really do much for the holidays but I wanted to make a dessert, as we do like to eat, and I've decided on a crumble. Strawberry/cranberry to be exact. Most recipes call for a starch/thickener to be added to the fruit mix, but most starches don't agree with me at all. I'm good with almond meal and coconut flour is okay in small amounts ( Read more... )

Gut microbiome

A heads up to anyone interested in what's living in your gut. I think it's safe to say that most of us here are pretty fascinated with all things gut, and here's a chance to participate in an open sourced research project to "characterize the microbial diversity of the American gut." It's a bit pricey, $99 for a DNA extraction, and yeah, you have ( Read more... )

The best gluten free bread to use for stuffing/dressing?

disturbedme wrote in celiac Nov 12, 2012 19:05

Hey, all.

I was just curious what brands of GF bread you like and think is the best to use for stuffing/dressing?

I forget what brand I used last year as I also used gluten free cornbread mixed in.

This year I want to make a sausage stuffing (I have the recipe, just need suggestions on the type of gluten free bread to use).

Thanks a bunch!
