Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients.

The Gluten Intolerance Group has some fantastic recipes covering almost anything you may need. I just printed off 7 of them for my own use. This is one of my favorite GF recipe sites. Check 'em out !! And if you are a person who hasn't really cooked very much, maybe now is a good time to start, and take control of your GF foods.

I've never made lasagna, but they have a GF recipe for it, and I intend to make it soon, as well as their chicken salad. MMMM

I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
