The Start
One day, I was doing some roofing and I got a fairly sharp pain in my chest, left side. It was not a jolt like you hear a heart attack would be like. However it did hurt, it hung around for about 30 minutes then it went, I thought I may of pulled a muscle. After all I was doing physical labour, which I was not used to. A few days later it came back again, this time it lasted about 20 minutes. I had been taking it easy as I figured it was a pulled muscle. After about

Going gluten-free can be very difficult for some people, depending on their levels of sensitivities. It took practically a life-time for me to discover my own food intolerance's so when they were finally revealed to me, so much damage had already been done that I was very ill. Because of all the damage I caused my body from misdiagnosis, I am now very sensitive to gluten contamination, even the slightest cross-contamination can make me very ill for days or weeks. It has taken me over a year toSeneca Crisp Onions are Gluten-free
I have bee gluten-free for at least 2 and a half years now. And I really miss broccoli casserole, and green bean casserole. Of course both those recipes use the Durkee french fried onion rings which are definitely NOT gluten free. Don't you just wish the Durkee company would wise up?! So I was absolutely delighted when I found a new product on the shelves of my local Giant: "Crisp Onions" made by Seneca Farms. They smell and taste much like Durkee's french fried onions, but just don't have flou

Wow, so I was just re-reading my old entries... boy have I changed. I no longer give a crap if people around me eat pizza because I don't want to feel bad anymore. If I do have these cravings for certain foods, I have learned to make them myself. Even my husband loves my gluten-free pizza! My changed attitude over the years is attributed to learning as many different recipes and varieties of food I possibly can. Before discovering I was Celiac I had never tried Thai food... now, I LOVE Th
Dining out Gluten Free
The one thing I really miss about being normal, is going into a restaurant and ordering the new pasta dish on the menu and not worrying about it causing you three days of severe pain--perhaps just a few pounds of extra weight. So I find myself eating at home a lot. Being in the restaurant business I get a chance to really search for some new restaurant choices in gluten-free foods. I love Italian and this is my biggest challenge, but so far I have actually found two very good choices in
Recall of the Wild
We read almost daily about recalls of commercial foods which we thought were safe for a celiac disease diet. We are informed of contamination and undisclosed ingredients regularly right here at celiac.com thanks to vigilant posters. Jennifer and Destiny have both pointed out that which I have found is typical. You probably know, me as an unofficial self-designated drum beater for the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) which is probably stricter than your hated third grade teacher becaus

Is This Where The Title Goes?
I have no idea what I'm doing. But, I love to write, and I have this.. challenging (?) disease. So this seems like a decent place to vent, right? However, I am not writing to complain. I am writing because I am hoping that by sharing my struggles with this disease I will find a way to accept it a little more than I have. Sure, when people ask how everything is going with my new diet I say 'great!' but is that really the truth? I'm not even convincing myself. And I'm also pretty sure I will h
Bisquick Pancakes And The Celiac Conference May 15
In the elevator to our hotel room (the cdf conference in L.A.), a woman commented on the Udi bread she spied sticking out from my bag on the bellman's luggage cart. This was my marine's first clue that "people like ME" were swarming the hotel. My beau learned SO much from the speakers (Dr. Peter Green, Dr. Sheila Crowe, Dietician, Shelley Case, and Cook Extraordinaire Frank Baldassare! My Marine needs to step up his know-how pertaining to Gluten Freedom since.. *drumroll*: The Marine Cor
Polaner All-Fruit Jam with Fiber: Is it really Gluten and Sugar Free?
Polaner All-Fruit Jam with Fiber: Is it really Gluten and Sugar Free? How many of us find a trusted brand and happily spend the extra money to get that brand of that product so we don’t have to decipher labels each and every time we go to the grocery store? I think of these products as “clean” – there is nothing in them that makes me sick and I can consume them without concern. For years I have purchased and consumed Polaner All-Fr
Gastroenterologist
I went to see the Gastro and the result was that an endoscopy needs to be done. In order for a "good" test result to be available, I have to ingest gluten. First it was going to be for 30 days, but I was able to reduce the time to only 3 weeks. This has been the most miserable month of my life. June 29 and counting.
Gluten-Free - Calamity With Companies
I am really beginning to feel that when I contact a company and I get a list of ingredients to avoid - even when I've asked about gluten-free - that the "list of ingredients" is nothing more than "proceed at your own risk - and not at our liability". These lists don't address cross-contamination. They don't address the sources of the ingredients that could be wheat derived in a process that does not remove gluten. These lists don't take Celiac Disease seriously. They are evasive. They tre
Some Set-backs While on the Gluten-Free Diet
After being successfully on the gluten free diet for one year, I purchased one of the gluten-free bread mixes and made a delicious loaf of bread. I only had two slices and then the yeast hit my body hard. It seems that being yeast free for a year had made me susceptible to it. Then, although I repeatedly visited my family doctor for months with symptoms, none of her tests showed any problems. My specialist had retired and no one had replaced him. However, I had stopped digesting food, parti
Those Little White Lies
So you cheated on your celiac diet and got away with it? ( Or so you may think.) The IRS may not come after you but the BGB (bad gut bacteria) are almost certain to. The wrong foods feed unfriendly bacteria and cause them to overgrow and interfere with digestion. You say, you felt no immediate pain? The consequences may be delayed for weeks, but you are not likely to draw a "Get Out of Jail Free," card. If you have been on a healing diet like the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for many months. AllFire at Bakery On Main
Leading gluten free granola manufacturer Bakery On Main experienced a fire on June 1 at approximately 9:30 am in its granola and granola bar manufacturing plant in East Hartford, CT. The fire started due to a faulty exhaust fan located in an attic area. The building’s sprinkler system contained the fire and the East Hartford fire department responded with exceptional speed and professionalism to put out the fire. The Bakery On Main team escaped without injury. There was some damage to the

I have done alot of reading on here about the weight issues, wether it is gain or loss, it has helped me understand alot but I am still finding it emotionally hard. I have never had a problem like most of you on losing weight until now and the weight gain so depresses me. I will say that getting on here to read everyone's posts it helps me out alot and I dont feel so alone. I am going to start my 3 mile walk on June 1st and add in some low weights to start with. I was doing this before but
One Year Gluten-Free! The Top 10 Foods that Saved My Life
It has been one year this month since I eliminated gluten from my diet. Going gluten-free has changed my life dramatically, even in ways I never dreamed of. Things that I believed to be incurable, have been cured, for example I thought I lost my sense of smell. Guess what? It came back when I eliminated gluten! No one can really understand the joy that one feels from having even one good, pain-free, “normal,” comfortable, healthy day unless they have been in chronic pain for a long time. I can-

Agreed. " Even a mild cross contamination had me in a brain fog, losing my place in a conversation, inability to concentrate- at all, even messed with my walking and sometimes my eye sight..." In my early days gluten free after my gluten challenge cross contamination would hit me neurologically in 20-30 minutes after the exposure. I would experience brain...- 1

@Viv Hesketh, at least in some places in England there are stipends for those officially diagnosed with celiac disease. But I think it may depend on postal codes. Perhaps our Brit moderator, Cristiana, can elaborate for you.- brain damage
