Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 i'm 33 and just realized i am celiac. the clarity in my mind, my energy, and body has shifted 180 degrees. it's worth the big changes! no more belly aches. they were horrible growing up and i'm pretty certain my grandmother died of cancer stemming from celiac without knowing she had it. knowledge and action is so vital! , " jadens_mommy4703 " <jadens_mommy4703 wrote: > > Hi!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 HI, Nic - welcome to the list. My son and daughter are gluten intolerant (more like allergic to it, as they both have immediate reactions to it - my daughter, who's 10, gets a stomach ache, and my son, who's 14, gets rashes; when he was small we thought he might have had celiac, but I can't remember what tests were done that showed he wasn't). They're pretty good about not eating any gluten (oh, and my daughter is also allergic to soy, so we don't really eat much in the way of processed foods; between gluten and soy, they're in just about everything processed!). I strongly suspect I am also gluten intolerant, but I have a lifetime of habits to change, and it's been harder for me to do it. My son was diagnosed at age 4, has always been an adventurous eater, and easily took to a change in diet. In fact, he prefers my home baked non-gluten stuff to just about anything. I made a delicious breakfast yesterday, for example - rice flour, fine ground corn meal, our fresh raw goat's milk and duck eggs, a pinch of salt, and aluminium-free baking powder (my all- purpose " mix " ), added a little cinnamon, sucanat, cloves, nutmeg; sliced apples layered over the top. Poured the batter into a preheated cast iron pan with a little bit of home made butter in it, and bake till golden on top. I like to make a special hot breakfast for the family on weekends. What about you, Nic, any recipes you care to share? Cheers Andrea NZ On 25/11/2006, at 4:10 PM, jadens_mommy4703 wrote: > Hi! My name is Nic and I am a celiac.
