Mama Me Gluten Free

Blogging ...

I wasn't really aware of what this entailed when I noticed the "blog" feature on my profile. I thought it might be a place to put my blog site, but now I see it's an actual blog within the celiac.com community. Neat! Anyway, I do have a recipe blog, so I guess I'll share the site here: Open Original Shared Link

Struggle, Struggle, Struggle!

I was diagnosed with Celiac's disease in 2004 but have yet to go completely gluten free. I try and try but get so dang frustrated. I try to bake bread but seem to mess it up. If I get it right then it goes bad quickly. I have no patience for preparing "everything" that I eat and no will power. Living in Alaska makes it a bit incovenient to buy gluten-free products without paying an arm and leg for shipping. So...I give up. I tell myself that I've been eating this way for 42 years and have

Mexican Food... Pizza... Oh Help!

So on Saturday, I finally succumbed to my pizza cravings. But I didn't make it homemade like I should have. I bought it from a local restaurant that assured me that it did everything to ensure it would be gluten free, from changing gloves to washing hands, to putting it on its own special tray. Sure enough, glutened... Yeah. Shoulda known. (Not to mention I have a bad habit of trying gluten free restaurants on saturdays, which is bad because then I get glutened and am down for sunday. I ha

Coeliac, or just plain unlucky?

Update: The Big Day- First Trip To The Gastroenterologist

The doctor's visit went really well, I think. I am so thankful to have the GP that I do and that I am in Houston right now with some really amazing medical care. My GP sent me to an absolutely wonderful specialist who's been in the field for 40 years, I believe, and seemed incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He didn't want to say I had Celiac/Coeliac just yet, which I can certainly understand and respect since I haven't had any tests yet (although part of me was kind of hoping fo

Coeliac, or just plain unlucky?

The Big Day- First Trip To The Gastroenterologist

Here it is- the big day, or at least it is in my opinion. I am hopeful that after years of trying to figure out what's wrong with me, I might finally have an answer. Not only would it be an answer, but it could explain all sorts of those little random things that you don't think matter or could be connected to anything. I wasn't supposed to get in until the first week of January, but I had to call last week after not being able to eat for 2 days to see if they could please call if and when th

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Wins The G-Free Diet Book Plagiarism Lawsuit

I just saw that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has won her lawsuit that was filed against her by Susan Hassett. The U.S. District Court in Massachusetts could find no evidence that Hasselbeck had plagiarized Living With Celiac Disease by author Susan Hassett when writing her book The G-Free Diet.

My Neighbor Just Brought Me A Cake..... Oy Vey...

You know how the grocery stores/ bakeries donate any unsold bakery items to charity?? (trust me, years ago, I benefitted from this a few times).   My neighbor (who doesn't know I have a gluten/ dairy intolerance... I haven't told very many people).   Anywho, i guess she was at a church today, and they had some of these items. (why she was doing something that could probably wait is beyond me...it snowed 7 inches overnight...)   anywho, she picked up this cake & came by & gave it

The Link Between Celiac Disease and Bladder Problems Becomes Clearer

For the past two years I've been busy writing something called, "The Better Bladder Book - A Holistic Approach to Healing Interstitial Cystitis & Chronic Pelvic Pain". IT is now OUT, AVAILABLE, and thankfully, getting GREAT Reviews! This makes me very happy, not because I'll make a bundle (I won't), but because people who need help can now find it. IC is a terrible disease affecting up to 8 million people in the US alone, but millions more suffer from chronic prostatitis, over-active-bladder

New M&M's Label Now Says "May Contain Wheat"

Update from Sarah Ann Harwick 12/03/2010: "Because we seemed to be getting different answers from the MARS company, I decided to call back and speak with a manager about the recent "may contain wheat" warming I found on the Mint M&M's. Only the Mint and Speckled (both holiday specials) are produced on the same lines as the pretzel M&M's, and although they do clean the lines between production, there is the possibility of cross contamination, which is why they now have

New Huffinton Post Article: Gluten Sensitivity and the Impact on the Brain

I am very encouraged to see that the Open Original Shared Link has written a new article on gluten sensitivity and its impact on the brain. The new article is correct in pointing out that gluten can have a severe impact on certain individuals who are sensitive to it. Hopefully this article will be covered by other papers around the country, as it is very important to convey this message to as many people as possible. I've been writing about the gluten-brain connection for many years on this

Adventures In Gluten Free Cooking... My 1St Attempt At Gluten-Free Chicken Pot Pie

A couple days ago, I happened to catch part of Dr Oz while flipping thru channels, and they shared this recipe:   Open Original Shared Link   I thought, 'ohhh that sounds good, I can probably adjust it to gluten-free'-- i mean, it's *only* the crust that needs to be changed (never having made pot pie before, didn't realize they use broth & worstershire sauce). i went to Winco for most of my Thanksgiving shopping today, and found gluten-free chicken broth (Pacific brand).

The Silent (And Yet Not So Silent) Killer...

Well at least I feel like it is killing me. And no, it ain't one of my intolerances. I wish I could say it was. At least ten I would feel better sooner... But no... Its a stupid, infernal cold! Just as I was starting to return to normal, I caught my husband's cold. And I feel like I got it worse than he did. Between the coughing fits that result in a lot of gagging since I cant throw up very well, my lost voice (which by the way never happens), my cold chills and a fever that I am sure is only b

Taking The Gluten Out Of My House

My computer illiteracy is hurting my head...I'm not even sure if I'm blogging on my own blog or I'm making a comment on my blog as myself right now...oh well, I'm not exactly dumb I just have a life outside of my computer and have never bothered to figure it out.   Yesterday I spent the day freeing my house of Gluten. This was particularly hard for me. I'm sure it's hard for everyone, but I spend a lot of my free time cooking, baking from scratch and just coming up with recipes. I designed

Doughnut Shops Are Evil :)

I drive for a friend who is visually impaired. Today, on the way to her work, she needed to go to the bank. After the bank, she wanted to walk across to the doughnut shop next door & pick up a couple doughnuts... can you where this is going??...   She can walk from the bank to the doughnut shop okay...normally when she needs to go to the bank, I don't need to, so I stay in the car- if she wants to go to the doughnut shop from there, she can & will... but this time, i needed to cash som

Valuable Lessons Learned From My Battle With Mr. Anxi Ety

So on friday I had a severe panic attack, and no one was around to help me. I should explain that I have been working close to, if not more than 40 hrs a week the past few weeks, and I am supposed to be a part time employee. No benefits, no overtime, no nothing. Plus I have a messy house that I cannot even walk in. Dishes are piled a mile high. Laundry is three weeks overdue. Nevermind my expensive food, car payments/insurance, rent, hospital payments, registering a broken down car which i

Nice Neighborly Duty

Ok so yesterday I had some of my neighbors come visit. And it is a well known fact that I can no longer have gluten in our apartment complex. But apparently it is less well known that I can't eat chocolate. (Probably because I don't make a huge deal of it. I just dont eat whatever has chocolate.) So strangely said neighbors decide to bring me treats... Gluten free brownies. Now how can I resist eating that? They were soft and gooey... (And probably slobbered all over by a three year old,

Cooking Gluten-Free for Celiac Family or Friends? Please read this first!

Well whether we like it or not, the holidays really are upon us.  Many of us are already thinking about Thanksgiving dinner — some may be contently planning knowing they’ll be cooking their own gluten-free dinner, while others may be “white knuckling” it until Thanksgiving, worried they’ll get glutened by a well-meaning friend, family member or co-worker.  I, myself do not have celiac disease, although my daughter and brother do, and my dad eats gluten -free,

Milk Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast Now Contains Wheat Starch

This just in from Jodi Walen: "I just wanted to let you know that tonight I went to go buy my daughter the Milk Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast. As always, I read the label every time. Sad to say, this time the last ingredient listed now states 'wheat starch.' I can't tell you how upset I was to read this. Their website as of tonight does not list this as an ingredient. I have emailed the company. Please pass this on." Let's all contact the company and

      I started another couple of jars today

      Day 2, the day after incubation, I found 1 inactive larvae after sampling both jars. By sampling I mean inspecting about 15 mls of water extracted from each jar.

      Day 3, nothing.

      Day 4, I saw one larva in each jar.

      Day 5, I estimate there were 15–20 larvae in each jar. Enough to inoculate.

      So I guess that's the answer. 5 days. Waiting longer would mean less work as there would be less time scanning the petri dish.

      I live near Detroit and this is April. Average temperature in my home has ranged btw 19 and 23C.

      Thiamine Deficiency Disorders

      Oh my gosh I am reading my exact story… I just responded to a bunch of problems posts saying the same things… 

      I do pretty much atkins too (under 20g carbs) which has been lifesaving in addition to thiamine. Symptoms are gradually improving, POTS isn’t as bad, and haven’t had the vertigo or nausea I had every time I ate. I think blood sugar may have been my bigger issue but I was stuck navel gazing with the celiac’s diagnosis (so many unproductive GI visits and unhelpful tests and years of frustration ).
      I was doing keto for a bit but wasn’t eating enough meat and my carnitine levels fell very low so have to make sure I eat around 30% cal from protein.


      No pre diabetes or diabetes but I like to monitor my glucose at home and see how my symptoms correspond. Definitely think minimizing inflammation by keeping sugars low is my way of keeping my autoimmunity in check. More empowering as the patient too.

      keep spreading the word!! Wish I had found out ages ago
