Colorado Ranch

Just thought I would share---

My husband and i just returned from Aspen Canyon Ranch in Colorado where we went on vacation with 4 of our friends. It was a smaller type dude ranch. We rode horses all day, went skeet shooting and fly fishing. It was gorgeous and so much fun. We were there for 4 days, but wish we could have been there longer.

Anyway, Debbie - one of the owners and also the cook, made me delicious gluten-free meals every day. The food was wonderful, everyone said so. And she always made sure that I got the same thing as everyone else, just a gluten free version. gluten-free salmon and steaks and BBQ chicken. She made gluten-free pasta salads, and ordered me so gluten-free cereals and waffles for the morning. She also makes excellent homeade ice cream!

The trip was so great, it was expensive, but worth it. All food, lodging and activities are included in the per person price. It was just an extra added bonus that I got to eat so well too! I called her in advance of our arrival, and let her know my issues, but i brought some food with me too because you just never know. I returned home with most of that food. The staff was great.

If you are looking for wonderful scenery, lots of time on horseback, and great food, you should try Aspen Canyon Ranch. It was a vacation that was such an experience. If you go, you have to stay in the "Cliffhouse Cabin", a little cabin overlooking the river and tucked into a cliff. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a full kitchen, and your own hot tub overlooking the river. Just the thing to cure the saddle sores!!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
