How about near Western New York across the Canadian border? It's the best I can do. :)

Actually, almost exactly 1/2 way betweeen Albany and Binghamton on I-88. We used to go out to Keuka Lake (Penn Yan) to a cousin's cottage as a summer getaway when I was a kid. Nice area out there. I LOVE Bully Hill Wine!

I think I was thinking of Oneida, some of the Indian names get confusing.

Bully Hill is great as a number of other area wines. We are near Naples and they have a wonderful Grape festival every year. I have been told the Italians found it to be much like Italy when they came here and the climate is great for the grape. If I am ever able to take day trips again I would like to do a wine tour myself, there are trains that have recently started runs in season with blues music that sound like fun. I've lived all over the country and upstate NY is one of the prettiest and cheapest places I have lived, as long as you don't mind the NY taxes. Hard to make non NYers understand sometimes that all of NY is not NYC.

Where was your picture taken? It is really pretty, is it the Catskills?

My husband and I are both from Syracuse--our families are still there. We used to have family picnics at Keuka Lake years ago--my mom's family also has people in Owego and Auburn.

Ravenwood--you're so right about how beautiful it is up there--especially this time of year.

I've been to the grapefest in Naples...never knew you could/would make a grape pie!

NY/NYC - uh huh!

Pic is from the Catskills last year. I prefer the Adirondacks (call me a mountain snob! :lol: ), but the Catskills are closer (and easier on the knees!).

This is kind of off the topic--but it happened in Syracuse :D And has to do with grapes....

My ex-sister in law <_< once made a "blueberry" pie and brought it to a family dinner. At the time, she was new to the group, so we were all on our best behavior. Anyway, we begin to eat the pie, and crunched into all these little seeds--unexpected because we were thinking blueberries! And you could tell no one wanted to say anything!!

The nut had mistakenly bought grapes instead :blink: --it actually had a good taste, but that texture left a lot to be desired :lol:

One of my ex-girlfiends (a nut herself) pulled a similar stunt with cherries in a cherry pie. She didn't pit them...Ouch

The land of the snow. It must be nice to be so close to the falls. You are new, let me take this chance to welcome you. You have found a great place for info with a lot of very nice folks.

i love niagara on the lake, but can do without the falls. some 'hidden' parts are nice. i live on the canadian side, though. the american side, in my opinion, is really grungy. although i am sure there are hidden parts on there i dont know, too.

The bloodwork is not in yet, but dr. seems to believe that I have celiac disease... soooo, at least I have a diagnosis....maybe...YEAH!!! Thats half the battle... Now im off to get some gluten free recipes... and just in time for the Hollidays...This is going to be interesting...

Hi and welcome to the board :D Always great to meet a fellow Central New Yorker B)

I'm glad you found a doctor who will listen and work with you--you're right, that's half the battle right there! Yes, read up on the recipes and the products forums--lots of great info there. Good luck on the tests, and feel free to post with any questions you might have. Last year was my first gluten-free, so I know that the holidays can be successfully done on the diet.

Let us know how your tests come out :)

Don't know NY very well, I am originally from Toronto, but now live about 1 hr east of Toronto. The only time I have been to NY is when I played baseball. We used to play tournaments on the weekend, and after playing 3 games on a Saturday, we would go home, shower and change and then drive down to Buffalo to party for the night at a place called "The Library". We had designated drivers so the rest of us could have a blast. We would get home around 3 a.m. and be up at 6:00 a.m. to play a 7:00 a.m. game!!!! Ahhhhh, those were the days!

The only other thing I am aware of in NY is my niece goes to university there, in Ithaca, NY. Anyone near there?

Hugs.

Karen

Hi all, I am from Conklin, NY. Did anyone else get hit by the June flood. Boy it is hard being gluten-free in a FEMA trailer. Major break out of DH going on and it is miserable. Almost back in the house though

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      By trents · Posted

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
