I was diagnosed with CD In 2001. What is so sad Is that I had been going to doctors for over 15 years With these Hideous life-changing symptoms Being told I was just depressed and get my life together . As a result The damage was devastating to my whole body . When diagnosed the doctor who caught it said Just stop eating gluten and it will all go away. How wrong he was! I had to have most of my small Bowel removed in 2004 . I'm still in very poor health even though or I am very careful with my diet. I was also a very good cook. We ate healthy as a child and had " Organic vegetables" And raw Milk butter and eggs. I feel we have all been so victimized with our food over the last five decades And most of it was not known until recently. How did this chain start? No one in my family ever heard of celiac Or had any such symptoms. I'm 58 And my daughter is 35. She has been diagnosed with celiac and Crohn's disease also recently . The worst part is no energy to cook. I'm learning about fermented foods now And always hoping to gain back some measure of health. Thank you for your blog. It gives me inspiration to go on.

I diagnosed myself, asking my dr for the blood test which was positive, and then suggested to my sister she have the test which was positive. It's been about a year now. I can say that having an advocate that totally understands the feelings of grief, deprivation, and other issues over food is wonderful. We have become so close and laugh at some of the antics of "wheat eaters" that totally don't understand us and are insenitive to our burden trying to function in a food oriented society. I read the grief steps above and I am finally at the last step where I feel lucky that I am eating the way I always wanted to but didn't have the will power. I feel sorry for people that have the option to eat badly, do it, and then feel bad about themselves. I am finally feeling that my body is a temple and by treating it right I get the just rewards of good health and vitality. I would not choose this condition but I have tried to make the most of it. I am thankful for my best girlfriend, my sister. I was diagnosed just a month or so before my sister.

Made my first batch yesterday. They turned out scrumptously. :) I did put them in the refrigerator as you mentioned in the comments above and I cut them while they were still cold. I packaged them individually in small Ziploc snack bags. My husband and little sons were thrilled to have such yummy gluten free granola bars. A great recipe for any one...gluten free diet or Not!

I hope your sister realizes her feelings are very common and it is a process of acceptance. It does get better. Gretchen is SO lucky to have such a caring, supportive sister like you, Heidi.

It will really save a lot of "heartache" if all our food intolerances are discovered at an early age. It will definitely be hard to accept the idea that you cannot eat something that has been part of your regular diet for years.

Thanks for sharing it. I came across this recipe on a Google search trying to locate GF buckwheat flours. It looks like Arrowhead Mills is the only one out there that has a gluten-free claim. Do you know anything about it? I couldn't figure out if they test it for cross-contamination. I love buckwheat so I'm looking for something safe. I just tried making teff waffles and while they were good I prefer the flavor of buckwheat, regardless of what others might say about it!

We are invited to a party and I am bringing my own Chili and some veggies and dip...although my host did tell me he had gluten free bread for me to make garlic toast with! Just thought I would let your Canadian (like me) readers know that still here in Canada - the Lea and Perrins still contains malt vinegar. Hopefully we will make the jump to gf soon though. We are near to the border and so many things I pick up "state side" that we cannot get here yet! Have fun! Thanks for the inspiration!
