Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Makeup And Anxiety?

Hey guys!   I am fairly new to the gluten free stuff...I have been totally food gluten free since this past august. However my older brother who has celiacs disease for a while informed me my makeup and other products could potentially have gluten in them which will then enter my bloodstream and affect me. My question is I am having really bad anxiety lately and some of my products contain gluten...could it be the gluten? The anxiety just came on I am assuming I am getting more sensitive to my

Loreal Products

I have recently diagnosed with celiac disease. I have been using two Loreal products for a while and I do not know do they contain gluten or not. The first one is Loreal infallible make up and the second one is Loreal excellence creme. Does anybody know more details about these products? Thank you.

We Are All Celiac

Our bodies contain the same DNA as our ancestors from 6-10,000 years ago. Grains were introduced ~ 5-6,000 years ago. Hybridization has altered grains such as wheat, rye, spelt, barley. We do not have the DNA to break these grains down in our intestinal tracts.   Europeans discovered that when they used a 'sour' starter culture, which broke down the gluten, then they were able to consume the bread w/o gastro-distress. Dough starters actually increased in potency over time, as family recipes we

The Quick New Plan

The Quick New Plan So in Spokane at the doc's office, mom and I were informed that surgery would be the only option for something that was cutting my time short. The tumor was non-hodgkins lyphoma, 4.5x5 inches. Bob was gonna be lifted out (pffft by helicopter) by opening my chest, that's aka chainsaw to the chest method. Barbaric! I think I prayed my hardest right then and there. Feakiest moment of my life! The doc gave me a gown and said to get ready. I was like 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' in my br

Just Starting Out

This blog is going to be my documented journey into a gluten free lifestyle; and my way of keeping myself responsible and accountable to myself. I love to cook and create recipes. As I do, I will add them with my blog so anyone who wanders in can use them.   Some time ago (I don't remember exactly when) I started getting a runny nose and a cough while eating ice cream. Some time after that it was yogurt. I thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. But the funny thing was I didn't have those

Pot Roast Recipe

My pot roast:   I don't like adding a bunch of liquid so I choose a crockpot where the meat fits snugly. I usually use my 3-quart crockpot because I try to get a smallish chuck roast. Brown the meat in a skillet if you have time. Put the roast in the crockpot and pour in a little red wine so it comes to the top of the roast. If the roast fits snugly in the crockpot this will not be more than 1/2 cup. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle on 1/2t dried savory and two cloves of minced garlic.

Helppp How Much Gluten To Eat Before A Blood Test?

I am so stressed from all of this confusing information I am getting. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago because I was getting very sick. She asked me questions and said to try a gluten free diet for 2 weeks. I did and felt amazing. I never knew how normal felt until I stopped eating gluten. I must have been having stomach aches my whole life. Anyways I called her after the 2 weeks and asked her what to do now. She said to get a test called gluten sensitivity evaluation blood test and to get a

I'm Not Doing This Blog To Be Special.. Or "why Am I Doing This?"

I am doing this blog to help others out. To testify to the struggles after 20 years+, of being coeliac and not realizing it. From having my intestinal wall disintegrate, allowing food into the blood, from having skin break out in rashes, 'psoriasis' which is likely only an acid/grain-intolerance condition, and numerous people who didn't really care, instead, only cared about themselves (closed-hearted), and thought since they or someone else had letters after the JURISTIC PERSON (the NAME w/ PhD

Coeliacs Are Special.

Coeliacs are special.   Not better or worse, superior or inferior.   Just special. 'Set apart'.   Many of us had an education based on western european cultural derivatives: sit forward, face front, 'we' have all the answers. [note: for those easily offended, I say 'culture'. A cultural is not a race. It is my opinion race is a synthetic designator designed to separate people, much as religion, football clubs, nationalities, etc - who cares?] But why this education, and not others?   A

Grain Intolerance & Iodine

Iodine: this very vital substance has been villified by the same people who stand to gain the most from it's non-use: M.D.'s (truly a criminal racket)   So it's no surprise to see it's use disdained in an otherwise accurate review of the symptoms of so-called 'coeliac': grain-intolerance.   While I keep sources private and methods of preparation, it's use is quite simple: If you are outside of north america, it's easy to order it through the pharmacist, and they in turn order it from a lab,

Activated Charcoal

Carry these tablets with you. If accidentally you ingest something with wheat, and realize it within a few minutes to 10 or 15 minutes at most, take these and they will absorb, blocking a lot of the potential reaction.   They are available widely, health food stores and mail-order, and are fairly-inexpensive.

Gut Insensitivity And Anti-Social Behaviour

I'm talking here about real anti-social behaviour, not projected fashionable behaviour, or it's opposite.   This is when the gut, specifically the small intestine, really the seat of our emotions, is under attack from our own body, rendering us insensitive to our own feelings, and consequently, those of others.   We 'celiacs' seek to repair the damage to the gut, in large part because of the isolation caused by constantly being triggered by food. If the brain or mind, is overwhelmed with st

This is something to help sufferers - it helps me, and it's widely reported to help others, so i'm sharing it with you: Fresh-roasted coffee, fresh-brewed, (organic, fair-trade, etc) A 10-cup espresso maker (50ml x 10, 500ml) Two passes of water (same coffee-grounds, first pass strong, second is weak).

I Don't Have Celiac.

Doctor tested me for Celiac and it was negative. So i think it's just Gluten intolerance. Doc told me to take a allergy pill every day and avoid gluten. The allergy pill seems to make it feel better. My cheeks are not as red either. But sometimes when i eat certain things i will still burn a little bit. So what else could be hidden that im reacting to, having a hard time pinpointing it! Does anybody with the gluten intolerance burn in the feet and the legs as well? Also notice i will get like a

      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
