ruger, for me it was my daughter.
She had been complaining of a stomach ache for a number of weeks - we went to the doctor and one of the things she got done was a TTG bloody test.
It come back with a very high count, indicating coeliacs.
We were referred to the specialist, having been told very firmly to keep her on a normal, gluten inclusive diet until he had performed an endoscopy and biopsy.
This was done yesterday, and what he saw indicates yet more strongly that she has coeliacs.

• Mix all ingredients but the sesame seeds in a bowl and form into a ball. • Sprinkle grease proof paper with the sesame seeds and gently roll the ball in the seeds until it is well coated. • Chill well before serving with sliced Carrots, Celery and crackers. Can make the day before if you need. I took it to a coeliac lunch get together and all loved it.

Hi guys,
I was hoping you could help me with some recipes, my 2.7yr old has to go on to a wheat free diet, he also reacts to rye, nuts (all types), almond and hazelnut, eggs.
i have swapped a lot of his food out for wheat free or gluten free stuff, and i do have an appointment with the dietician next month but am after some yummy recipes.
He can have egg in baking, but can not have egg whites (but can have egg yolk) and no nuts at all
TIA

How I found out I was gluten intolerant was theMedical Herbalist I went to told me about it and put me on the GF diet, this was after going to "normal" doctors for around 5 years.I noticed a bit of improvement after about 3-5 days, then once I cut out cows milk Iimproved again (this was about a month or two after this) and the last thing I found that was causing me problems was the vege gums and once I stopped eating anything that had them in I pretty much became normal again :)

New products from Maggi are on the shelves now eg Chicken soup and a few others.
Sauce: 1 tsp Chicken Stock (must be GF, such as Massel) 1 Tbsp Raw Sugar 2 tsp Cornflour (ensure it is gluten free) 3 Tbsp Tamari Soy Sauce 1 Tbsp Dry Sherry 1/2 Cup Hot Water
Slice the chicken breasts thinly across the grain, stack the slice then cut again into matchsticks. Combine sauce ingredients.
Heat the oil in a wok/frypan over a high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until white, remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm. Add chilli, zucchini and peppers to the wok and stirfry until beginning to soften.
Add garlic and ginger and stirfry briefly, then add vinegar and return chicken to pan. Stirfry for a minute or two, then pour over the mixed sauce. Lower heat and cook until thickened. Add the spring onions right before serving.
Serve on rice. Serves 4.
In terms of gluten, you have to watch the soy, chicken stock and the vinegar. Pre-GF I used malt vinegar, but since I've made it with white vinegar with good results. I used to use Mirin instead of Dry Sherry, but stuff in our pantry has gluten in it.

Thanks for the recipe - it sounds great. Two new gluten free products are just out. They are Breakfast cereals by Hubbards. One is Cocoa Puffs and the other is Cornflakes. They are gluten free dairy free soy free and no artificial colours added.

just a thought . maybe your two kids might be intolerant to shulpites !i can't have bacon or deli meats, or deli salads, dried fruit , or wine etc because i am intolerant to shulphites .Might be something for you to look into .!

just came back from supermarket adn sure enough gluten free sausages contain shulprites . so do marinated pork steak as does plain chicken kebabs . so frustrating. However i did buy some gluten free SR flour so i can at least have some sweet corn fritters! there is a bacon you can get that is shulprite free .can't remember the name of it .hendersons perhaps! i did buy some salami tonight tho, its made by delbos, its in a vacum pack [that isn't in the fridge ] and its preservative and gluten free. it has two fat sticks and is worth $9. . you can either get hot or mild.

Grrrr. I am GF & was using White Pepper tonight & see on the label that it has Wheat Starch in it! Why on earth does Ground White Pepper need Wheat Starch in it!
It is Kings/ Hansells brand. The Pams brand doesn't seem to have any so will buy that from now on. It is so hard trying to be GF when I keep finding Gluten hidden in all sorts of odd places!
