Hello From Sweden

Hi!

Just to begin with, you have to be patience with my english. It's not the very best.

I just found this forum. My name is Nina, I'm 34 years old. I live in the northern part of Sweden in a town called Skelleftea with my husband and our son.

It is me in our family that cant eat gluten. I've been eating gluten-free food for 10 years now.

I love to bake and always looking for new recipies. It was when I was looking for that on the internet I found this side :) I almost never buy bread or cookies and things like that. It's better to bake, it's become more tastier then.

I hope I will learn something from you and the other way around.

Best regards

Nina

Hi Nina,

I'm an American, but all of my ancestors are from Sweden. My mother's parents spoke Swedish at home, and both my parents grew up in Swedish immigrant communities, so I still feel somewhat tied to that background. (MorFar was from Orebro, but that's all I know.) I live in Minnesota, now, which also has lots of Swedish immigrants and history.

Welcome to the group!

Hi Nina,

I'm glad you found this board.

I agree with you on the baked goods. The gluten free breads, cookies, etc. in the stores are so expensive and not that tasty.

My family is from Stockholm. And my husband wants to move to Malmo. He is even trying to learn a little Swedish. :)

Anyway, welcome!

Gina

Ah! Stockholm and Malmoe. It's a bit from here. Stockholm is about 750 km and Malmoe is about, hmmm... well I think 1500 km from Skelleftea. A daytrip ;)

Hope you know the metric system, I'm not sure how long it's in miles.

I like the southern part of Sweden. It's not that cold there. Here in Skelleftea we can have like -40 celcius during wintertime. Not fun..... I like it when it's +35 celcius.

Well, I've got relatives in USA:) My Granddads (MorFar) cousine lives in Latrobe, Pensylvania. And I think one lives in LA. Last time I heard they lived there :) But I have never been overseas. I really would like to. It's a dream I have. You guys got soooo yummy chocolate..... :wub: I just looove those with peanutbutter. Peanutbutter is my weaknes. And to combine that with chocolate..... oh my! Then I'm in heaven lol.

I think it's good that we can't buy Goobers grape and peanutbutter here in Sweden. I would look like a ballon then......

Well, now I'm gonna look for some yummy recipies. Hmm.. maby something with chocolate ;)

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, I know full well that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and gluten sensitivity is not. And I agree that there is inconsistency in the use of the terms. But my contention is that "gluten intolerance" should not be used of NCGS since "gluten sensitivity" is actually found in the gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and, therefore, "gluten intolerance" should be reserved as a common/nonmedical equivalent for celiac disease. It also seems to me that "intolerance" implies something more severe than does "sensitive". And it just seems to me that, though there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms, there is a movement toward using "gluten intolerant" to refer to celiac disease rather than NCGS. But that is just my opinion and perhaps, to be honest, a bit of a personal crusade. Actually, we would all be better off if we quit using the those informal terms "intolerance" and "sensitivity" and just speak of celiac disease and NCGS.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      I wonder why they put dextrose in it?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.
