Is anyone here a gluten free chef? I've been considering a career change (I am 21 and just graduated from college in a field I dislike) and cooking has always been an interest of mine.. I was curious to find out how Celiacs do in the field.. do you think there would be a demand for a celiac chef?

I'm not sure how well they do, I'd hire you though :)

justme - i'm on a similar path but refuse to cook/bake with gluten. my sister is a pastry chef and a cook and is going to open up a business on the side, and i am going to do allergen baking and cooking for her business. that way, her guests never have to second guess having cross-contamination, because they will be 'safe' in my kitchen. personally, i would never use gluten and casein in my baking or cooking, as this is an activity for me, not a potential threat to my health... i like the better safe than sorry policy :)

either way - good luck!

I know of at least one celebrity that employs a gluten-free chef. I've also had people request that I bake for their autistic children. That is one place where you might be able to make such a career work for you, and help overwhelmed parents at the same time.

I read an article recently saying that the gluten-free market was set to boom (along with the rest of the food industry) within the next few years. The culinary school I'm enrolled in thought enough of the potential of the gluten-free lifestyle to accomodate me :)

Bauman College in Berkeley, CA has a program where you can learn to be a natural foods chef - Many of their grads go on to become personal chefs or specialty chefs for ppl with special diets. Betcha they would be quite accomodating to someone who was gluten-free. In fact, I think some of the people who run some of the gluten-free bakeries around here graduated from there. There is a LOT of money to be made in specialty foods... Whether as a personal chef, or opening a restaurant, or starting a food manufacturing operation or bakery.

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      You can add Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy, Bone and Joints degeneration, Cataracts, Hypothyroidism, Gluten Bumps for those of us with dermatitis herpetiformis, and Malabsorption which contributes to so many other complications. Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its...

      Oats gluten free?

      The oat protein, avenin, is not gluten. It is similar to gluten, however, and similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D? I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its toll on the body, even while maintaining 100% gluten free. Coeliac, just like all Autoimmune Diseases beget autoimmune diseases. It’s in the cards, and inevitable, just a matter of time when. I’m living Proof!

In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house that was almost daily trafficked by other children and adults. Total 7 years, other than contracting Covid twice at 22 months apart, when it comes to flu illness I was practically immune.

It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?
