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

My Introduction

Hi, I'm Becky, I'm 34 years old. I live in Western Idaho. The main parts of my story are in my siggy, but thought i'd share here, too . Spring 2004 i was dx'd w/ hypothyroidism (at age 27. (i remember going online after that & reading that some Drs wouldn't even test a person under 30... I'm sooo glad the dr i had at that time didn't buy into that crap!)). Some of my symptoms went away, the constipation, weight gain, tiredness did not. Fast forward to oct 2006--- i had heard that weight

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,

Updating My Blog...

Hopefully, I will be better at keeping this up to date. I think now that it has been over a year since I was diagnosed, and I have spent A LOT of time, energy money and resources on this disease, that I am educated and experienced enough to offer assistance to those who may feel lost right now.   More to come soon...   -Angela

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, and when I attended the Gener

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 let them know what a bad choi

Getting Started On Gluten Free

Been feeling bad so long. Bones and muscles ache. Hands shake and head wobbles. Tired. Never enough sleep. GI trouble and GERD. And I've put on 5 pounds I can't shake. After being brushed off once more by doctor who says all blood tests are normal.....I decide to try gluten free. After all, every time i eat anything made with wheat flour I need to take an anti-acid. Sometimes it works. So, I decide one day to go cold turkey and give up wheat, rye, and barley. The hardest part is the french br

Restaurant Mayhem

So the other day, my dad was sworn in to be a Utah attorney. (Cool Experience to see by the way). My mom calls me the day before, "Oh yeah, honey, we're goin out to lunch before hand. We were going to try the Restaurant at the Joseph Smith Memorial building. That okay?" So I hesitate, because it wasn't on the list of safe restaurants that the Celiac/Gluten Intolerance Support Group for SLC put out. So my mom and I once again get into a discussion about how strict I am being. (She thinks I

Life's Going On...

I haven't been on here in a while. Since that time ... ...I'm in my last half of highschool. I'm a junior. It takes up some time. ...Pooky is now 9 months and defying all rules of Down Syndrome. But then, our family's just generally contradictory. ...there have been many birthdays, and almost all of us can claim to be yet another year older. Yes, I'm one of them.

A Cute Story I Had To Share

So I should probably explain in advance that I am highly intolerant to fish and possibly other seafood... (Not sure on the latter as I aint never tried it) The worst fish for me is tuna fish, especially when it is that canned stuff. Its strong stench alone is enough to make me throw up, hence I cannot be in the same room with it. Normally I hide in my bedroom until the stuff is completely cleaned up and scoured clean. And yes I mean scoured. My mom used to think rinsin the plates was good enough

"How long you been gluten-free?" I got no idea of how long its been no more... "Uh, since October 1rst" "Two weeks! Wow. Are ye gonna do this the rest of your life?" "Most likely." Didnt I just say I was doin it for medical reasons? If I feel better I aint stoppin no time soon. Besides, I aint got a choice.

Carob... The Chocolate Alternative

So some people on this forum suggested I try carob, since I cannot eat chocolate. So today when I went to the Whole Foods store near my apartment for my normal grocery shop, I discovered carob ricemilk. I thought that would be a good way to ease myself into chocolate. And if I did react to it, hopefully it would not be so bad because the ricemilk would dilute it. Guess what. NO REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes me so happy. Of course maybe it was a horrible idea to try it, becaus

Ugh...i Hate Gluten

Gluten is everywhere. Why? And of all places to get Glutened... it was at my own house. From potatoes. Sure, they were the instant kind, but I shouldn't have trusted them. They are in fact made in a facility that I know produces wheat. And I'm sure that flour would fly throughout the air in that sort of place. The thing was, the bag had no gluteny ingredients listed, and the only allergy information on the package was "May contain traces of milk." And we wanted to finish that bag, because

Chocolate Is My Enemy

So yesterday was my first time having chocolate in months. I made chocolate cookies that were gluten free. It was absolutely delicious, but sure enough, my body didn't like the chocolate. I hate that I can't eat chocolate. Its everywhere and in everything I like to bake. But yesterday, I just HAD to try it. I was miserable after, and I am miserable now. Chocolate why do you have to be so mean? Its not fair. Everyone around me loves you, which is why I bake with you. I love making peop

Another Day, Another Destiny

Well, I told my doctor about going gluten free and how good it makes me feel. She didn't say much, but she did essentially that I am gluten intolerant. Well, great. I'm official. Gluten intolerant. Strange, it sounds so weird to say I am officially diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I have an official diagnosis of fish intolerance too. Well, that's it. I'm crazy intolerant. Who knows what next will show up that I am intolerant to... Casein? Dairy in general? Who knows. But well, for now

A New Day

Well, I just heard back from my doctor. She is really nice. She offered me advice on even how to drop out of my class. And from the sound of things, I think she thinks it is an excellent idea. She also told me to up my anxiety medicine. Well good. That makes me feel better. Maybe I will be finally feeling normal. She also suggested that I start taking a this drug that will help with my anxiety attacks. Supposedly I take it when I have "severe anxiety flares." And hopefully it would hel

My Insane Anxious Ramblings And A Need To Destress....

I am feeling an insane need to destress. Not that I am doing as much as many of the people here, but with my severe anxiety, no relation to my gluten intolerance, I feel completely stressed out. I work at least thirty hours a week, more often than not more than that. For which I am recieving no benefits because I am hired supposedly as a part time employee, even though in reality I am working full time. It is a horror. Not that I have a horrible job or anything, nor am I bad at it, nor do I

The Grand Beginning

Every journey starts somewhere. What is it that makes us begin? Perhaps a smile, or great despair? Maybe, it's something you can't pin.   Every dream comes from someplace. Why do we imagine within? Is it hope for unending grace? Maybe, it's something you can't pin.   Every hope dawns from something. How do we find it in this din? Concern of what future will bring? Maybe, it's something you can't pin.   Every journey starts somewhere. Maybe, it's something you can't p

My Celiac Story

My story begins nearly 4 years ago.   I had suffered from stomach pain for several years before being diagnosed. Doctors treated me for gallbladder disease, ulcers (though none were found) and I underwent a procedure where they look inside your stomach and small intestines called and endoscope, sounds worse than it is.   I went on a low carb diet to loose weight. I was feeling so good, the stomach pain was almost completely gone, the rash that my Doctor told me was eczema (that seems to be

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      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.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      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
