Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs
This Is How The Story Always Starts Right?
Since this is my 1st Blog, I thought I'd share a little bit about me and my "off-colored" sense of humor (some people use the words morbid, inappropriate, shocking, wonderful, etc...) to help everyone understand why I might say things. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2013. It was a long road of mis-diagnosis and frustration. I just happened to get an amazing Gastro Dr because he was the one on call on a particularly awful trip to the local ER. My Dr himself has Celiac and is a very good s
Chex Gluten Free Instant Oatmeal
I noticed that Chex has come out with a gluten-free instant oatmeal and tried it out. Don't know if it is a coincidence or whether they contain the gluten that doesn't like me, but the 2 times I tried it, I have had the cooks 2-step. I usually eat Bobs Red Mill Instant Oatmeal or GlutenFreeda and haven't had any problems with those brands.
Cheerios Are Now Gluten Free
Picked up my first boxes of good old regular Cheerios and Honey&Nut Cheerios at the store. They are now labeled Gluten Free.Lots Of Blood Tests
So... Oncologist doctors and Licensed Naturopathic doctors are still not respecting each other in this valley at least. Doesn't surprise me. I the client am in the the middle. It's like a tug-o-war game really. One person says this, another person says that. There is absolutely no reason under the sun why a oncologist doctor can not respect nutrition. There is equally no reason why a Licensed Naturopathic doctor can't speak with the oncologist doctor before referring a patient. Yup. That
Endoscopy - R/o Esophagitis, Check Up On celiac disease
Well... yesterday I had my second endoscopy performed. My GI doctor wanted to check up on my small intestine to see how its healing, as well as check my esophagus to rule out eosinophilic esophagitis. He took multiple biopsies and said my SI looked atrophied but otherwise I looked good. The combination of versed and demerol is powerful and I did not remember much of the discharge except for the fact that I Don't think I was ready to be discharged I was so out of it. But I slept it off and now I'
Possible Lymphoma Cancer Again...
Well well well.... Not surprised. Nor scared. I may have cancer again. I am going to go WHOLE HIPPY NUTS THIS TIME! BooYAA! I'm allergic to pain killers: no surgery for me. Thank GOD! I'm not interested at all in chemo or radiation again. Been there done that. They will want to bone marrow transplant, I will not tolerate pain killers nor that transplant without painkillers. lol I am however FAR more aware of what to research, how much to supplement, how little and signs to lookCancer Fighting Regim
The battle ground.... Lymph nodes going up my neck. Nodule 9mm on the back of my right thyroid lobe. (Hard to palpate) Unknown battle ground in chest cavity. Weapons.... selenium 100mcg x2 each day.

I had surgery two weeks ago for my parathyroid and elevated levels of calcium in blood tests. Surgery went very well except within 24 hours I developed a strong allergic reaction at the incision site. The area got very red , swollen and began to weep quite a bit. Sleep became impossible,went to the doctor and he removed the glue that is commonly used to cover the incision and stitches. Started on, anti-biotics and a steroid. I contacted the mfg of the glue and asked about possible gluten in the

Let's Talk About It - Gluten-Free Oat Production
GOOD FOR THEM! The Gluten Free Watchdog is really working for the Celiac Community. Gluten-Free Oat Production is into the stage of "Purity Protocol vs Mechanical or Optical Sorting". They ask us if it is important to us, and of course it is. I love oats and have been severely restricted from eating them. My specialist said not to have the OAT CHALLENGE until I had been totally free from a celiac outbreak or dermatitis herpetiformis for at least one year, and I never reached that golden year. Th

Growing Like A Champ
The little dude is 3 weeks and 10 lbs. already Which is fast. He's smiling, making valiant efforts at holding up his head and frowning at everything that is perplexing. Very cute stuff. So far he's breast feed 90% of a full 24 hours and the other is formula (similac "advanced" formula). The similac supposedly is suggested as a gluten free on this site by people who have looked into it, but the can does not say gluten free. I want to contact the company and get their word for it but others haveBaby Is Born!
This is one healthy baby boy! After 11.5 hours of labor with a midwife and assistant watching closley, my husband and I had our baby boy in our arms! :D He is 20 inches long, 7.14 lbs, and had a 14 inch around head! He came out healthy as a horse, nothing of concern! WOW Thank God! His little finger nails were even longer than mine (past his fingertips) which explains the scratching inside :S hehe Our next adventure is nursing, major lack of sleep, and bonding with our baby boy Totally exExcessive Exhaustion, Possibly Cancer Again?
A lot has happened since I last blogged. There are obivous reasons for me being tired; I have two kids under the age of 3, I'm a celiac, I've got hypoglycemia...yadda yadda. There are not so obvious reasons; chest pain at night, ache down the arm, lymphnodes swollen up neck (Cat scan confirmed), noduel on thyroid (cat scan confirmed), scar tissue in left cerebral hemisphere (MRI scan). My only concern is the swollen lymph nodes. The experience with lymph nodes was non hodgkins lymphoma.2015 NWO Spinoza Prize for Celiac Disease Research
The NWO Spinoza prize in brief: The NWO Spinoza prize is the highest award in the Netherlands science arena and can be seen as the 'Dutch Nobel Prize'. Each year, NWO (the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) awards Spinoza prizes to three or four researchers working in the Netherlands who, according to international standards, belong at the very top of their scientific field. NWO Spinoza laureates perform ground-breaking research that has a major impact and they are a source of insGluten Detected in "Gluten-Free" Tesco Chocolate Flavoured Brownie Cake Bars

At the grocery store the other day, I checked out the meats. I noticed a package of turkey breast, which I use to frequently buy before I found out I had allergies to it. I absently passed on by.. I got a few feet away and stopped dead. "Wait" I told myself; I can have turkey! I turned and took a couple of steps back. Oh, right, I thought as I turned away again, but what fun are turkey nuggets without breading? I haven't had breading for months. I walked away. "But wait!" I got almonds back and

I was anemic, had severe abdominal pain, and my bowel movements were a combination of diarrhea and constipation. When I finally went to the doctor, I was diagnosed with IBS and given medication. The medication intensified my abdominal pain so I re-visited my doctor. His new diagnosis was ulcers so new medication. After a week and with no improvement, I called my doctor and he referred me to a gastrointestinal specialist. My first appointment was simply to explain what was going on. After examin

Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector? I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March) Any information would be greatly appreciated
