Hi Kyria,
I would like to talk to you about how you've dealt with your Lyme disease. I've had it for 5 years now. I can only use alternative med. for treatment. Please email me.
Thanks,
Marjean

Hi ladies! I introduced myself in the henhouse, but just found this and thought I should speak up here, too! I've had Lyme disease for 13+ years now and have been gluten free since April '09 after doing food allergy testing. My daughter is also allergic to gluten. It has made a tremendous difference in our lives. Made things a whole lot better physically and mentally, even though it's more difficult financially. It's worth it!

Hello ladies:
Nice to know there are some gluten free farm chicks in the group!
I avoid gluten and cow milk in my diet as much as possible by choice to keep my seasonal asthma under control with the lowest doses of my medications. My SIL is a naturopathic physician. She convinced me to have blood testing done several years ago when my dependence on inhaler medications was increasing for no apparent reason. I can still eat rye and other grains related to wheat on a rotational basis but I try to avoid them most of the time. Processed wheat flours are the worst - I can usually tolerate mimimally processed flours in moderation now and then. I do a fair amount of baking including bread, cookies and other treats. My latest experimentation has been with a gluten free sour dough starter. So far the results have been pretty good. I mix most of my own flour mixes. We have a nice health food store in town and most of the local grocery stores also have a decent supply of gluten free products.
Sorry Lynn - I don't have a recipe for cheese cake. I don't know if you can eat soy, but if so you can try substituting soy cream cheese. I've used it for frostings and other dishes calling for cream cheese and it works well. I suspect you might also be able to use soft tofu if you drain it well enough. Another possibility might be chill-over powder made with non-dairy milk. I just got some yesterday but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Also ordered a sample of the gluten free mix. Maybe this weekend I'll give it a go.
I'm new to MFJ so I'm still trying to figure out how to register for the hen houses. I just got my sisterhood packet and badge yesterday. I'll figure it out eventually!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Hi Marilyn!
It is great to hear you're working on a natural way to fix your asthma! As a consulting herbalist that is music to my ears!!
Email BrianOgle@MaryJanesFarm.org to enter any henhouse, just give him your information and which henhouse(s) you'd like to play - he's wonderful!
I haven't tried the soy cream cheese yet - it's so hard to find in my area - plus I don't get to venture too far from home due to my schdule - but I'll get there!! :)
We're very glad to have you ... I am Celiac so my life is 100% gluten free - meaning no (none, never) wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and oats (plain and flat out of fear on the oats!)
I'm also glad there are other gluten free farmgirls out there - we all need to stick together and make this diet more understood! Celiac Disease is serious, it's easily diagnosed and should be tested for when one is having issues that parallell any of the over 300 symptoms that mimic all other health issues -
It's hard to eliminate triggers, such as in your case, but by taking the time and starting from the bottom from scratch it is well worth it!!
In either event, better health is the key and better living is priceless!!
I look forward to getting to know you!

Tomorrow starts Celiac Awareness month . . .
It's time to educatate those around us that are not familiar with Celiac and gluten free living ...
It's time to teach the restaurants how to safely serve Celiacs and gluten free diets.
It's time to make Celiac Disease as well knows as Diabetes!
... start with your family - understanding is half the battle!
... move onto your friends - teach them what's safe.
... talk to a restaurant - can they safely offer a dish or two?
... talk to your schools/colleges - do they have meals for the kids?
? don't know about Celiac or Gluten free? ?
Find out more ... google it, visit my website, email me ...

Hi WeedyWays-Lynn,
just stopped in there for a visit, and to see what's going on in the Glutenfree area. I'm not gluten intolerant, but I know a friend that her whole family is but her, she just found out a few years ago, so I keep my ears and eyes open, I can't wait to tell her about this site. Anyway, Congratulations on your new business that's fantastic! Also, I was going to to mention, I had a cherry cheesecake made out of tofu once, it was fantastic......I was at a an herbal weekend workshop and they served it! (several years ago,when I lived in CA) I'll see if I can't get you a recipe or maybe you could just google one! hope that helps a little.

Good morning!
Thank you for the wonderful note ... please tell her to check out the posts for Gluten Free Farmgirls and my website as well ... it's a busy month, being Celiac Awareness month, but I'll be in and out of the web often!
Even those who are not gluten intolerant or celiac can benefit from my posts somewhere along the lines ... like you, they know someone that has to eat gluten free and they may not understand it or understand the importance of NO contamination!
Have a wonderful day - I'd love that recipe if you come across it...
