Ok, I got the link to work once by removing the space between 'gluten' and 'free'.

I have had trouble several times getting their links to work on here. Cruelshoes knows how to do it. Something about a tiny url.

I made another candy cane recipe -- it really came out great. Here's what I did:

10 ounces chocolate chips

1/4 tsp. canola oil

8 regular-size Spangler CHERRY FLAVOR Candy Canes (14 gr each, they came in a 9-ounce box that holds 18 candy canes) - or use flavor of your choice

Pam

Melt 10 oz. bag choc. chips in double boiler. Add 1/4 tsp. canola oil for ease of use.

Note: I used Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips, which are free of gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy. They are made in a dedicated nut and gluten-free facility. (For those super sensitive to dairy and soy, the plant does process dairy and soy, although neither are in the chocolate.) If you've never had them, these chocolate chips are amazingly delicious. Everyone will think you're using the finest gourmet chocolate.

On the back of the bag of Enjoy Life Choc. Chips is a recipe for Chocolate Bark that calls for nut-free trail mix. I used the recipe as inspiration then used candy canes instead of trail mix to make a Chocolate-Cherry Crunch Bark.

I peeled the wrapping from 8 Spangler Cherry Flavor Candy Canes, put them in a zip lock bag and used a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces - it looked so pretty, like pieces of glass. I added the candy pieces to the chocolate. You could of course use more or less candy cane, to taste.

I lightly greased a glass dish with Pam and poured the chocolate mixture in and spread it to the thickness of chocolate bark -- maybe a bit thinner. (Next time I might try using wax paper instead).

Stick it in the fridge until cool, break into pieces and enjoy. OH SO EASY! The crunchy cherry "bite" with the chocolate was soooooo good! Of course, peppermint would be wonderful, too. Note: The recipe on the bag says to melt the chocolate in a microwave. I think a double boiler works better, but do whatever is easiest! :)

If anyone tries this, let me know. I hope you enjoy it.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
