I'm New To Everything!

Hi there, I'm new to the forum and thought I should say hello. My fiance was just diagnosed with celiac's. He's been asked not to change his diet quite yet since they want to do an endoscopy and some more tests, but soon things will undergo a big shift. I make homemade bread and pasta on a regular basis, and I'm certainly interested in how to change my cooking to help him (though I don't think I'm going to go gluten-free myself). This looks like a fabulous and very useful forum, so I'm looking forward to getting involved!

Hello, and welcome to the board. It's great that you want to learn how to change things over.

If you will still be baking 'gluten' products, you will need to keep all that "floating" flour in mind. Flour tends to coat everything :( Also, gluten free baking should not be done in your old pans, as the corners are impossible to clean properly.

As for pasta, there is a rice pasta called Tinkyada that is very good :P

It really is a huge learning curve, but you have come to the right place. There is a lot of super people on this forum.

Nini has a "newbe" kit. I'm sure someone here can give you the link to it.

Thanks to both of you. This seems like such a great resource. My fiance's Scottish and I'm American, and I'm heading over to the states soon to get set up for our marriage and move to the U.S. I think that'll be a great opportunity to start fresh with a gluten-free kitchen. We'll be living near my family so I can always go to mom's house if I need need need to bake some wheat bread (I have those days).

I'd love to get my hands on Nini's newbie kit. I saw it suggested to someone else, but I haven't managed to track it down yet.

You should check out The Gluten Free Gourmet cookbook. It's the best cookbook I've found. I've never made a bread, cake or cookie that isn't yummy from it.

Welcome!

I would also recommend reading Gluten Free for Dummies by D. Korn.

She is very knowledgeable and the book is written in an "easy to follow" way.

I just got a new cookbook for X-mas called "Gluten Free Bread Baking" - I haven't used it, but that is only because I am scared of my bread machine...

:)

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By larc · Posted

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing related to celiac diagnosis is complete.

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.
