Diagnosed with celiac (can't eat wheat)

Just realized my web site has a few gluten-free (but not always nut-, sugar-, dairy- or egg-free) recipes on it.

HTH. I had gestational diabetes and am now insulin resistent, so I'm always happy to help anyone with a dietary restriction.

Wahine and Knot, I actually found a bread I absolutely love (although I hate the $4.49 price and that it's 120 calories a tiny slice).

Food for Life Almond Rice Bread. Toss two frozen slices in the microwave for 30 seconds, toast 'em, put on a slice of lactose-free Cabot cheese and some tuna, and I'm in heaven. (Hey - sometimes it's the simple things.)

Well, I tried a different health food store and found almond flour and hazelnut flour. Of course, I can't remember what I'm supposed to make with this stuff, so hopefully I have the other ingredients for the recipes.

So far, I have found that the diet the ND put me on, which is somewhat based on this book, but I am allowed rice as my only grain, has not been helping much, especially with my energy levels. I am running out of patience, so this week I hope to find a few things that I can easily make that fit this diet.....and we'll see. I'm nearly ready to go back to my raw vegetable eating, whole grain eating ways!

Thanks for the timely posting of this info before I had already changed!

Hugs and butterflies,
