gluten intolerance at easter time

EASTER time is when we GI people feel a bit sad, and more than likely not for the religious reason, but sad (some might say even morose) because we can’t celebrate Easter Sunday, with the traditional hot cross bun with lashings of butter and honey.

BUT I do have some good news on that front, because sick of feeling left out when my husband gleefully toasted his buns for breakfast I determined to make my own Gf buns and it worked. I’ve added it to my cook book, but can tell you here that basically it’s a matter of using packet Gf bread mixture, along with a bit of ingenuity I gleaned from my master baker father when he was alive.

I have to say it was worth the effort, as they toasted beautifully. Feeling rather jubilant I then proceeded to make up a batch of GF bread rolls which I ate last night. Once a week in our house we enjoy naughty but nice food, and tofu hamburgers is our weak point.

But like the hot cross buns I usually have to make do with 2 slices of GF bread instead of the REAL hamburger rolls my husband enjoys. Not so last night this time my hamburger looked like his. A REAL PLUS for GI people I must say.

Bye for now Isi Keller.

Gluten allergy symptoms

Winters coming down south in Oz land, so usually this is the season for increased visits to GP’s with sore throats etc.

Okay for most I suppose, but what about we GI people. Bad enough feeling as if a bus hit you, blocked up everything, along with a really worrying cough (usually the main reason for antibiotics) > But if you carry GI there’s a fair chance that you could be ingesting Gluten along with it. Low grade is how its rated but anyone who carries a “vigorous “ strong allergy, rather than a “pussycat one” weak, will now be feeling nauseous as well as an all to familiar pain grips your torso.
And certainly an increased weakness though out the entire body. In this case the cure seems worse than the complaint.

This is the reason I’ve researched this problem and tried to come up with a list of antibiotics that ARE gluten free. And will be found on my web site gluten free exposed.
It’s a sixteen-week course and the list will be seen at the six-week mark. Pretty comprehensible too. Bye for now Isi.

gluten free sufferers, Im glad you found me.

Okay most family members know me as a worry wart. So I care…a lot. This caring has now moved into the mainstream of life where im anxious to help others ignorant of some really scary facts I’ve unearthed about GLUTEN INTOLERANT people one of which I am.

PLEASE don’t laugh or shrug this off check out my web page my son set up allowing me to reach others in same boat. Believe me its mind blowing! TRUE

Ive just started writing articles over at ezine articles, so as soon as I have the link i will put it on this blog, thanks a lot and take care,

pathetic gluten free breads ! - make your own!

Hi thought I’d have a little sorry for myself chat as a GI sufferer. Basically I’m referring to the dreadful standard of what is termed the STAFF of life. God help all GI people is all I can say.unless like me they have in desperation sort out a way to make a comparable (FANTASTIC REALLY) loaf of bread in every way, other than its free of gluten which makes GI people sick. You can check out the loaf in my weekly gluten free membership site, Click this link >>>>> Gluten Free to go to the front page.

Mine only takes 5 minutes to make up and is on my web page my son set up for me after seeing how many anomalies (fibs ) centred around being diagnosed as GI. (GLUTEN INTOLERANT).

Gluten and the pores of your skin

Hi

I’m on the war path after reading on a Celiac forum that Quote ”Gluten cant escape into the pores of the skin”. How wrong is that!. Agreed we aren’t all rhode scholars or even science/medical students but come on. Most having a normal high school education know that the SKIN is our BIGGEST eliminative organ. And yes if it comes in contact with Gluten/wheat and you’re allergic to it watch out BIG TIME..

What is the difference between celiac & gluten free?

Hi okay bet there are many reading this who are at a loss to understand what is the difference between the two.

First off not much I THINK, other than a certain snob effect I’ve noticed when touring around forums run by Coeliacs.

Perhaps its because the word Celiac originated from Greek language and means Abdominal Wall.

Celiacs are known to say that their allergy is to wheat not gluten. My mind boggles at such talk I mean, it’s simply impossible to have one without the other. The protein in wheat is called ‘gliadin aprolamin’ the Gluten protein factor.

The coeliacs may say that they can separate the two allowing them to eat wheat free of gluten. I DON’T THINK SO due to the contamination factor.

Speaking for myself I’ve fallen sick many times directly due to this contamination factor. Are we really meant to believe that grains are handled in same way as they are in a micro lab, white coats and all
