This just in from Jennifer Iscol of the North Bay Celiacs: Hello to all in the national celiac and gluten-free community, I eat gluten-free and I VOTE! The Food and Drug Administration is over two years late publishing the gluten-free labeling rules mandated by Congress in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection of 2004 (FALCPA). The rules were due by August 2008. Congress needs to press the FDA to act, and the FDA needs to get the job done.

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 LinkStruggle, 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 haveFruity and Cocoa Pebbles Cereals Now Gluten-Free

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.

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 foThe 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 thCalifornia Firm Recalls Raw and Ready-To-Eat Pork Products Due to Undeclared Wheat / Gluten

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. Open Original Shared Link, and am happy that Elisabeth won. Some people believe that any publicity for celiac disease is good publicity, but in this case I disagree. Hopefully Elisabeth still has the desirTalked To My Bishop (Update On My 'a Few Good Phone Calls' Blog)
I heard back from my bishop. here's a link to the blog I posted about when I first talked to him. https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/1461-a-few-good-phone-calls/ He said he did talk to his DIL, she says she takes the smallest peice of bread on the plate.

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 itThe 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".

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 the wheat warniNew 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.

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).

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.

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-

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
