What Could Be Causing My Health Issues?

I have had irregular movements since As long as I can remember. Stressful situations caused loose stool and any other time they would be stuck. I did not realize how screwed up they were until I went gluten free when I was 17. I went gluten free for 3 months and it was the most regular I had ever been. Fast forward to this year I just turned 20. I had bloody bowel movements from july till December with no associated pain. I decided to go gluten free again. They stop being bloody within one wee

Gluten/grain Free Tortillas

Gluten/Grain Free Tortillas from: Open Original Shared Link   I've made these a few times. Easy , quick, and delicious. You really do want to get them as thin as you can, though. Use a LARGE frying pan or griddle. The recipe calls for a small 8" on but I find it easier with a larger one so I can control size better. I will be making a casserole dish full of my own recipe "Mommy's Enchiladas Verde". Yep, to die for. *nods vigorously* You will need 12 of them so I have quadrupled th

Gluten/grain Free Campbell's Tomato Soup Copycat

Campbell's Tomato Soup Copycat I adapted this recipe from produceonparade.com   The first time I tried this recipe was last night. I WAS FLOORED! It is such a good copy cat.. MY GOODNESS! I am still smiling. I used it to make a stuffed pepper stoup. But all of those things you can make with the canned stuff you can now make with this! Stuffed Cabbages baked in the pan for potlucks, family reunions etc.. or thrown in the crock pot! OH JOY!!! I do use a specific brand of tomatoes in

I'm An Idiot

I just wanted to vent. I have been gluten-free for about 3 years. I have tried gluten challenges but never make it past 2 weeks. So I figured I would try enterolab, since supposedly it is more sensitive. I ate gluten for the last 2 weeks of 2014, sent in my sample. Came back positive. So I have been more careful than before- just washing hands more and making my daughter wash more as well. Plus I am still having bladder pain from those 2 weeks, but it has been improving. So last night I

Salted Caramel Fudge

Salted Caramel Fudge I was shopping and looking for caramel that was grain free. I found ZERO corn syrup free offerings so I bought some heavy cream and went home to make my own. If you need to be dairy free, You can actually use coconut cream from the can and vegan margarine. Apparently it works wonderfully. I cannot vouch as I've never tried it but EVERYONE should make home made caramel OH DEAR YUM!   So you will need to make your caramel first. It only takes 15 minutes! I left

Eggs In Purgatory 2 Ways

Eggs in Purgatory 2 Ways   Tonight we are indulging in some simple but fresh and delicious Italian fare. There are not a lot of ingredients so be sure to use the BEST ingredients. If you go for the 1st way, as I have this evening, be sure to find the darkest red tomatoes you can find. Actually use fresh basil and grate your own parmeggiano (or pecorino), If you make it the second way, be sure you use San Marzano tomatoes. You CAN taste the difference and it is all worth it. Both ways are s

Brynja's Artichoke & Sausage Baked Ziti And A White Chocolate & Almond Amaretto Cheesecake

Brynja's Artichoke & Sausage Baked Ziti This one is not grain free. I used Tinkyada pasta. It is ONLY made from rice and it has GREAT texture. It is the only grain I have found that my body will agree to. If you are unable to have any grains, you can modify this with some carrot noodles spiralzed! I've done it that way too. Delish! 2 lb Johnsonville sweet italian sausae (not in casing! The ones in the caing have corn syrup in them) 2 can artichoke hearts, chopped 1

Gennaro Contaldi’S Fried Stuffed Gnocchi

Gennaro Contaldi’s Fried Stuffed Gnocchi OK before you even get started, I need to tell you this is work. I have slightly modified the recipe so that it is grain free. I make my own Gnocchi pretty often and it is just one of those things that takes some practice. No need to worry, it will still taste perfect... its just practice to make them look pretty AND go quickly. I make this as a meal, not an appetizer. YUM YUM!     NOW...

Another List Of Unsuccessful Experiments

Hi again, dear world.   This is my second blog post. In the meanwhile I have had a really busy time testing new theories about my undiagnosed disease. Here is what has happened:   In the end of November I visited my GP, and got a referral to visit a gastroentrologist in February. At that time I was so sure that I had Hashimoto thyroiditis, and two months of waiting seemed a long time, especially because I was so sure that this horrible brain fog could be maganged with a simple hormone intake

All the flavour of chicken wings from the local pub around the corner. Topped off with a yummy, creamy "dressing" and carrots and celery on the side for extra dipping. This is just as messy as that Styrofoam container of wings, so get out the napkins! Its a heck of a lot healthier though. For the meat: 3 tbsp butter 2 lb ground chicken breast Salt and Pepper ( I use kosher salt and a pepper grinder) 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves or 1 tsp dried 5 to 6 ribs celery, 2 to

I love to cook and since I have a severe and immediate reaction to gluten and corn and I just try and skip soy... I skip the grains. With the exception of rice. All of the things I list that have bread or pasta are made with rice flours. No corn or anything else. You are of course free to substit

1 Week Into Mc Therapy

I am a week into my Entocort steroid therapy for microscopic colitis. I can say that I have no discernible side effects from this drug. It has slowed down my bowel significantly. I am no longer running to the bathroom 8-10x/day. I probably go about half that amount now. The quality of the bowel movements has improved but it varies throughout the day. I have not had significant cramping/pain since starting therapy. That was the most debilitating for me was the cramps. I would be late to work cons

Budesonide For Mc

I saw my GI yesterday. He and I agreed to start me on Entocort EC/Budesonide medication. It is a slow release 3mg capsule that is not dissolved by the stomach pH and instead gets broken down and absorbed in the intestines. It is supposed to have a local effect versus systemic and is considered safer than prednisone. I will be on 9 mg dose once a day for 2 months then we will start to taper the dose down pending my symptoms and then wean off completely. Many have good results with the course of m

Yup... I Have Microscopic Colitis

I just got the message from my doctor that I have microscopic colitis. I had a colonoscopy last month with biopsies. The colonoscopy prep was not nearly as bad as what people have told me it would be. Honestly the best part of my experience was the prep. The scope was not so great - I woke up several times during the procedure - I was only sedated with midazolam, fentanyl and phenagren - and it lasted over an hour whereas it should have been only 20 minutes. Nothing is every EASY or uncomplicate

      Another concern I had with my cockup with the bandage was with the larvae sitting in the gauze potentially drying out and dying while I futzed around. Seems things are ok. I've been having tingles under the stretch bandage I used to secure placement. I'll know for sure in a couple of days when I see the entry wounds.
