    Whew, that's indeed good news! Hopefully the rest of the problems will disappear soon as well.

    celiac disease is a relatively new disease, it was discovered shortly after the second world war. Before the nineties it was considered a rare disease and doctors didn't learn much about it. It has become more well-known since the nineties, so the knowledge about it is slowly increasing. It's still poor with most doctors though, so it can be useful to drop...

    Totally agree with you Going gluten-free was a necessity for me, but it also changed my lifestyle for the best. Before I went gluten-free my eating habits were bad, I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. When I rented my own place I gained nearly 10 kgs in one year (22 lbs). Going gluten-free made me have to plan my meals and choosing healthier options...

    Some leftover Chinese take-away from yesterday: chop suey with beef and white rice. Very mysterious: everytime I can't cook there's fast food on the table. You'd almost think my BF doesn't like to cook I'm quite happy with our local chinese restaurant: they know exactly what's gluten-free. When I asked about gluten-free dishes they gave me the menu...

    I'm not happy today because the shin splint I had in both legs is back and I have to get treatment for it. I have to take medication and it's making me very sleepy and dizzy. Couldn't go to work yesterday because of it, and that really stinks

    Sounds like a load of bull to me... I hear this kind of talk often when I visit an organic food store. As if organically grown wheat wouldn't make me ill...

    The holidays are always a time of mixed feelings for me. The days before I can get quite sad because my own family doesn't care about my diet. Whenever I visit my dad and his new wife I even have to bring my own snacks. Buying a bag of plain salted crisps is too difficult for them, even when I ask for it I just don't feel welcome there, and since my diagnosis...

    Yum, sounds delicious! After Christmas I'm cooking a light meal tonight. Baked rice with egg and leek and chicken satay. Yesterday we celebrated Christmas at my boyfriend's parents. We used a table grill yesterday. We had all kinds of veggies, fresh meat, chicken and fish which you could grill for youself. It was fun, delicious and gluten-free! I...

    2 thick slices of oatbread with bacon and eggs. 4 hours later and I'm still not hungry Raaawrrr, I'm a munch-monster. If I don't eat heavy/satisfying meals I tend to snack all day.

    If a grain containing gluten was used, it has to be mentioned on the package like "modified starch" (wheat-). If not, then they can label it as "modified starch". It will be safe for coeliacs. I hope this answers your question.

    You're welcome! I don't know Pamela's brand, not sure if that brand is available here in NL. The flour mix I use most is from Sch

    How about this recipe? Open Original Shared Link You could replace the flour with gluten-free flour.

    6 ppm is more than 3 times under the new legal limit for gluten-free here in Europe. The new legal limit is 20 ppm instead of 200 and for most coeliacs this is very safe. I consider myself to be sensitive, as I can't handle wheat starch under the 20 ppm limit, but I've never had a reaction to this one.

    That explains a lot... I've had severe reactions to some brands that were officially labeled as gluten-free. They used barley malt. The only exception to that is Estrella Daura, which is filtered to take proteins out. This is my favourite beer now. There are some brands that use sorghum or quinoa, but I find the taste too different from regular beer.

    Tonight I eat alone, because my boyfriend has a midwinter celebration. His games club will play boardgames from sun down today (4:30 pm) to sun up tomorrow (8:30 am). This is one of the rare occasions that I'll eat a microwave dinner. I'm having kale stamppot with rookworst today.

    Most mature Dutch cheeses are very low in lactose as well. When a Dutch cheese ripens the lactose is broken down. If it's available in your country, ask for a Gouda cheese which has ripened at least 14-18 weeks.

    Oats are only safe to eat if they were grown and processed in a wheat/rye/barley-free environment. Always look for a gluten-free logo on oats. My personal experience with oats is very good: I eat oat-products on a daily basis. A Dutch company has a product line of oat bread (which is very soft and tasty) and I often have oat flakes for breakfast. To me...

    Oliebollen The new year will arrive soon, and with that the tradition of New Year's Eve. People in the low countries will start to bake oliebollen again. Oliebollen are traditional flour dumplings, usually filled with raisins. These are deep-fried and eaten with powdered sugar. This tradition comes from the pre-christian age in which Germanic tribes...

    We usually celebrate New Years Eve with our friends at our house. People show up somewhere in the afternoon to hang around, play a board game or read a book. Around 6 pm we have a dinner together, usually it's one or more varieties on "stamppot". This is a name for several Dutch dishes all consisting of potatoes mashed with a vegetable. You have carrot stamppot...

    Oat flakes with a mixture of dried fruit and seeds. One medium boiled egg. Low-fat yoghurt with a finely chopped mandarin for some sweetness. A large cup of green tea.

    Well, she's coeliac intolerant I guess...

    Many coeliacs don't fit into the "classic" symptoms of pale, underweight patients. I was quite chubby at the time because I constantly over-ate. Now that I'm on the diet my hunger cravings have also subsided and my weight is slowly returning to normal.

    Stir fried beef teriyaki with oriental vegetables and buckwheat noodles.
