Hi,

I just found this site and look forward to sharing ideas and recipes with those who have had more experience.

Here is a little about me:

My stomach has always been very touchy, and I have a stomach ulcer that is back for the fourth time.  Tests show no h. pylori infection.  I had surgery in 2006 and  caught the very resistant staph infection that is in hositals now. After taking many strong antibiotics, I had a c. dificile infection, and after that my stomach has never been the same. I found an internist who listened when I said I would have no more surgeries or antibiotics. I eat yogurt every day and also a low temp processed whey protein powder. My internist suggested stopping gluten,and I was certain it would not help, but after 24 hours, my intestinal cramping slowed.  It stopped 48 hours later. Just my luck, I loved to bake my own bread and muffins! 

I now enjoy gf pizza with the Red Mill pizza mix, and eat cornbread, but none of the gf products I have tried are very palatable.  I gave up trying to bake really good bread, and now make things like pumpkin or banana quickbread. I love to cook and am interested in others’ findings and substitutions.
