Scared Alittle
Well my wonderful husband took me out for my birthday dinner Saturday night and it was wonderful. He called ahead and spoke to the manager and asked about cross contamination and the menu. He took me to OutBack! He ordered for me and he also ate Gluten Free I felt wonderful the whole night, had some Wine and went to bed. Got up in the morning with my left side and back area hurting we have been so careful since we found out that I have Celiac Disease. My stomach didn't hurt though so I st
Bday Cake, Girls Weekend, And Holiday Parties
I had coconut cake, cupcakes, and brownies for my birthday. My best friend was going to be in Vegas for my bday, and so she invited me and I invited my other friend from New Orleans. It was so fun. My Major was still away, so it was perfect for just girls. My bff carried 2 bakery boxes on the plane from Texas! (From Lil' Aussie Bakery in San Antonio-2die4.) I am so lucky! She eats gluten free stuff with me, and she also orders it when she's out, just to try it for me and to keep up the de
New And Learning
This is all still very new to me and I know it will take some time for me to learn all of this. It has been scary to read all the posts and realize how much I will have to change my life style but I know I can do this. I have a wonderful husband and family that are supporting me and reading information along with me and that helps a great deal. Diagnosted December 2nd with Celiac DiseaseDiet Cure?
I've been gluten- and casein- free for over a year, soy-free for almost a year, and none of my symptoms have gone away. My joints still ache, I'm still tired all the time. Thankfully, I have an absolutely awesome mom and dad who keep trying to figure out what's wrong ...and I think we may have hit something this time. The Diet Cure by Julia Ross -filled with little questionnaires that direct you towards what chemical imbalance your body may have -has definitely helped me find out what's wrong (
Mt. Olive Pickles have no Gluten Ingredients
Recently, noticing that the Mt. Olive pickles contain flavoring, or natural flavoring, I wrote a letter asking whether their flavoring contains any derivatives of rye or barley, even if it doesn't contain any wheat. Here's the letter I got back from them: __________________________________________ Hallie, thanks for your note. Our QC folks followed up with our flavorings supplier, and our flavorings do not contain rye, barley or any of their derivatives. Than
Gluten-Free Labeled, Store Brand Over the Counter (OTC) Medicines Coming Soon
For years I’ve only purchased big brand names of ibuprofen and cough/cold medicine for my gluten-free daughter, because I couldn’t guarantee the generic, store brand version sitting right next to the big name brand (and about a third less in cost) was gluten-free. Now it appears that’s about to change — in a bold way. In a Open Original Shared Link Monday, the Open Original Shared Link company says it will begin labeling gluten-free products appropriately b
Which Breadmaker?
I need to buy a breadmaker...but which one?! There are so many choices. Which breadmaker do you like? Thanks!
Still Sick
As of recently I had a scope done. I have been gluten free for a year now and had to have a scope done because I am still bleeding. The Dr. thought that I might have colon cancer. Very scary at 29. I watched my grandmother go through a lot of the same things. She passed away in her mid 50's. When the scope results came back there was no cancer. THANK GOD. If you have read any of my other posts you might have seen this already. I was just back at the Dr.'s office yesterday because of ongoin
Turkey Week-i Could Make A Movie From This.
Totally Gluten-Free turkey day again, but this time at my house with my Major's mother and my mom&stepdad all in from FL We did lots of fix-it stuff on my new house (bank repo) Parents woke at 4am (FL time 7am) and went to 24 hr Wal-Mart to buy me "appropriate" dishes and silverware (mine isn't heavy enough) for my belated birthday gifts. My stepdad forgot to take his blood pressure meds on Tuesday (day 3)and blew his top and went MIA in the rental car. Didn't hear from him till Wed.Recommend A Doctor/clinic In Las Vegas
Can anyone recommend a doctor or health clinic in Las Vegas that specializes in Gluten Intolerance i.e. Celiac disease? I would prefer to find someone who is outside the "standard of care" i.e. normal procedures that doctors who are aligned to large medical organizations follow. Over 7 years ago I was diagnoised with Gluten Intolerance. I had gone everywhere and had all kinds of diagnosis including liver disease, chronic fatigue etc. I could barely get out of bed in the morning. I finall
I'm Thankful For ...
...God, who sent His Son to save us from our sins, rescuing us from an eternity of torture in the Lake of Fire and instead allowing us to share His home in heaven! ...God's Word, to keep us in line with Him until Jesus returns! ...my parents, constantly guiding me and teaching me (not always in ways I like -at those times I should be more thankful for them) through any problems I may have. ...my brothers and sisters, with my almost-double-digit number of siblings. There's always somHappy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Today will be quite a test for all of us. Trying to eat gluten free and having to ask thousands of questions to our hosts for the day about all the food they've prepared. I will be visiting with my brother and the rest of our family at his house. This has been the tradition for the past several years. It is usually a huge feast and I leave there feeling sooooo FULL!! But now, I must be cautious about what I am eating. Maybe I should have been in the past also, but
Confusing Diagnosis Process
I have been aggresively trying to figure out what has been wrong with me for the past 18 months. I am 40 years old and have dealt with loose stools, fatigue and all over joint pain for 7 years. The results I have received so far are: vitamin d deficiency, vitamin b12 deficiency, esophagitis, chronic gastritis, duodenitis, delayed small bowel transit time, negative blood tests for celiac, postive gene tests for celiac, and the biopsies that were performed were negative BUT they were only taken
Could It Be?
Gluten?! Could it really be? I've long since written it off. Especially as I see the previous commonly-missed condition become all the rage now: GI problems = gluten problem. Yet such a rare condition, all be it an extreme one, unlike traditional allergies/intolerances. It's caught me off guard in my latest attempt to solve the mess. Once again willing to do whatever it takes for a new kind of life--and more desperate than ever to figure it out. And once again left confused, lost,
Strange Sense Of ...calm.
So, today I am exactly 4 weeks gluten free. Had some accidental glutten poisoning last weekend which resulted in another breakout of hives and no sleep that lasted almost one week. I have only been half-heartedly toying with the dairy free experiment up until 3 days ago. I would occasionally add a dollop or two of yogurt to a smoothie or put a little cream in my coffee which resulted in minor gas and scant bloating. But I decided to completely forgoe the dairy products for a few days just to

Potentially The Start To A Whole List Of Questions

High Gluten Diet - 1 Tbs Gold Medal Flour A Day
13-yr old daughter needs to be on a high gluten diet, specifically 1 Tbs gold medal flour a day. She's not a sweet eater, so she doesn't want me to bake her anything. She's eating bread, pasta, etc., but the doctor also wants to add flour (how, I'm not sure). Appreciate any suggestions.
Good Meals For A Family Of Celiacs And Non-celiacs!
I decided to post a few items that I have found to be my "go-to" meals when I'm feeding my family and don't have the energy to cook 2 separate meals: Mexican - corn tortillas, yellow corn taco shells (Ortega are marked gluten free on the box), ground sirloin and some spices - good to go! The whole family will eat these! Some corn chips, salsa and you've even got a great snack! Pasta - the gluten free pasta is pretty expensive but I have found it is pretty easy to just make it for t
Diagnosis Day - Also Known As D-day....
I decided to create my own blog as I'm a newly diagnosed Celiac and have learned a lot in the last several months. I was diagnosed on May 22nd, 2009 when a nurse called me to tell me I tested positive for celiac sprue.... At the time, I was looking at a slice of pizza from Pizza Hut that I was about ready to eat I had not been feeling well for quite a few months which is what started me down this path - more on that in a future post.... Little did I really know how much my life was goinFinally Putting Pieces Of The Puzzle Together
When I was a teenager I began to realize that the food I ate directly affected how I felt physcially. Years later, I determined that food had a profound affect on how I felt mentally as well. I always wondered why others could easily consume "junk" food without the same ill effects I suffered. I became famous as the resident insomniac and even more famous for the after-affects of eating pizza and drinking beer (or ANYthing else for that matter). The gas and bloating was more than a mere dBaking Bread
So, last night I went to 'Whole Foods' in Providence for a free tour of the store with other 'Celiacs' given by a Nutritionist/Celiac of 15 years. It was very interesting as we went through the store and she explained many of the products and showed us what to look for on labels and how the store will segragate many of it's gluten-free products in each aisle. She also told us what some of her favorite gluten-free foods were and how to prepare some of them. Whole Foods also has many of their own-

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
