I have celiac disease, and my husband and my daughter have food allergies and insensitivities. Therefore, this mama has to cook without wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, corn, milk, eggs, soy and beef. I've been cooking this way since December 2005. I wanted my child to have the same foods everyone else has, but safer, healthier, and without allergens. Hopefully this blog will help others and make cooking easier for those who have the same circumstances we do.

Bread is Coming!
I have been working on the sandwich bread recipe. I want to try it again and then I will post it, but here is a preview:) It is lightly toasted for my BLT sandwich.
Yum!
Stayed together the whole time! Yum!
Untoasted
Flexible, spongy and soft! Yum!
Hope to post this Sunday coming up! I have a busy week, but I just have to make sure it will work every time!
After losing about 20 pounds that I couldn't afford to lose on my frame, I went to the doctor and found out my vitamin D level was very low. I was tested for celiac disease and it came back negative. I didn't like this doctor and was not sure he did the test correctly. After no improvement with weekly vitamin D dose of 50,000 I.U. for almost a year he said it was just lack of vitamin D. I began to get more symptoms: sore joints, shortness of breath, canker sores, headaches,hair loss, hand & feet tingling, depression, short temper, rashes on arm & hips,constipation, jumping in my sleep and more weight loss. I was so tired that they put me on Ritalin for Narcolepsy after a sleep study. Finally, I went back to my family doctor-who listens-and she said that it sounds like celiac. God give me confirmation with shows and newsletters in that same week. I decided to just go gluten free without the gold standard testing. My family doctor didn't test me because I didn't eat a lot of gluten already and I was wasting away. My husband and daughter were already gluten free. So after both removing gluten and then doing a trial with gluten my doctor said it is CD.
