Hi, my name is David and I am a Coeliac (Celiac). Just thought people might like to have a look

at the Irish site. I post recipes on this site under the user name Daveyboy.

Try out the recipes. sources for the ingredients in brackets are to show that the are vetted

by the society and certified free from any possible cross-contamination.

Sorry about going on a bit, but i don't believe in using any pre-packaged mixes

either do i right, or don't do it at all.

Bye For Now.

I am American but I grew up in Ireland. My parents & sister still live there & I will be going back to get married in the next year. Any ideas on how to get a gluten-free wedding cake, etc? I was only diagnosed last year, and my sis has gone gluten-free since as she thinks it might be the source of her unexplained/misdiagosed symptoms. I am in the uneviable position of having to find gluten-free cakes in 2 countries as we will have a reception here also!!

Thanks a mil,

Ooni

Hi Ooni,

Sorry it took so long to reply, I only just noticed you posting !

My computer was out of action for about 2 weeks so I'm only catching up on

things now.

.

Here's a link to my recipe for gluten-free Rich Fruit/Wedding Cake

Just in case you want to make one or have it made for you for the

celebrations that side of the Atlantic.

.

Brand names in brackets can be ignored the are there to show that the ingredients

have been vetted and are gauranteed 100% free from any possible cross-contamination.

You could contact the Irish Coeliac Society and ask if they can reccomend a baker,

I know the are presently drawing up the criteria for Bakeries to be classified gluten-free.

Hi David,

Do you live in the Emerald Isle? I got hold of the Coeliac association there and they sent me and awesome list of some restaurants and hotels that are Coeliac friendly. My sister and I are flying from Canada to Ireland on Sept. 25. this year. I was told I should have no problem finding food over in Ireland. I am so excited to be going there.

Hi Rusia,

Yes I am in Dublin City the Capital of the Republic of Ireland.

.

You are in for a treat as most, if not all of the hotels and restaurants are Coeliac friendly.

Most larger restaurants have a seperate Gluten Free Menu !

.

So come for the view, the food and the people, all are friendly!

.

Enjoy your visit.

.

P.S. I normally go to Canada for a month or so over the Christmas and New Year,

to see the relatives, in Burlington and Mississauga Ontario.

.

Then Aunts come stay with me for a few months during the summer.

.

Best Regards,

David

Thanks David,

We are going to be landing in Dublin. That is so wonderful that food is not going to be a problem. As my sister is not Celiac yet or diagnosed we figure we can drink the Apple Cider in the pubs or rum as neither of us can drink the ale's or beers.

What is the weather link in Sept-October? Should I get a hefty pair hip waders and rain coat?

I am amazed the relatives never went to Vancouver, as their weather is supposed to be closer to Irelands. You would like Vancouvers much better than yucky Burilington and Mississauga.

Have a great day,

Rusla

      Testing for celiac

      In case you decide to go the route of a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood test or biopsy: Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Kosher salt is not usually iodized. Shortly after starting GFD in 2014, I realized I wasn't getting enough iodine.  Growing up in the 50's and 60's we ate bread that used iodine as a dough modifier so each slice had about 100 mcg of iodine.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg a day.  In the 70's they stopped using iodine as a conditioner in the US.  Then everyone got scared of milk.  The US intake of iodine dropped 50% since 1974.  Prescriptions of Thyroxine for hypothyroid disease doubled in the same period.  I tried using iodized salt and seaweed and took an expensive thyroid supplement but it wasn't enough.  In 2014 I had a sebaceous cyst (third eye blind).  The previous 6 cysts on my face had all drained and healed with no problem back in the 1990,s.  One on my check had sugically removed. They are genetic from my mom and my brother and son also get them in the same places.  This one I did not have surgery for because I wanted a bellweather to moniter healing.  It did not start healing until I started until 10 years when I started taking 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine a year ago Nov 2023. Lot's of comment about how it was offputting and maybe cancer, it was deep, down to the bone, but I can be obstenant.  Now it is scabbing over and healing normally.  Vision is returning to my right eye (glucoma), musle tone in my chest was the first sign of improvement.  For healing, iodine breaks down defective and aging cells to make room for new growth. I take Liquid Iodine drops from Pipingrock.com but there is also Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution. 50 mcg/drop a dropper full is 12 drops, 600 mcg.,  usually I put it in a can of Red Bull, My brother, son and his family also started taking it. https://www.pipingrock.com/iodine/liquid-iodine-2-fl-oz-59-ml-dropper-bottle-14690 390 drops for $8.  They ship internationally if you can't find it locally. It the US the Safe Tolerable Upper Limit is 1000 mcg a day.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg a day.  The Japanese traditional diet has 50% less breast cancer, nicer hair, skin and nails, and in the 80's the US educational system dropped down comared to the rest of the world while Japanese kids moved up to the top.  Low iodine affects brain fog. According to most education rankings, Japan generally has a higher education rating than the United States, with Japan often ranking within the top 10 globally while the US usually places slightly lower.  In the 1960s, the United States was near the top of the world for education, especially for young people.  About why iodine was removed from medicint: The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf? About why over 40% of us are vitamin D deficient: Mayo Proceedings,  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!
