Is There A Difference Between Celiac And Fibromyalgia
A little bit about me. I'm 45 yrs old, 5 ft, 2 in at 205 lbs. I have always been overweight and have always felt bad. I can remeber being 8 yrs old and crying to my mother because I was in pain and my stomach hurt a lot. Hardly any energy, diareah, always felt tired, cranky. My father was one of those types, if you wern't bleeding or had a limb pointed in the wrong direction nothing was wrong. His word were always, "Get Over It" "Nothing but laziness" "it's all in your head." Finally got to th
My First Post. My Life So Far With Celiac.
Today is my first day of blogging. I would like to give an introduction of myself, and my life so far with Celiac disease. I was diagnosed at 19, in May of 2009. I had been feeling this symptoms since July of 2007, and was misdiagnosed for two years. I was told by a girl named Kasey Martin, from an organic store around here, that I should check for Celiac disease, as she had the same thing. So, I did... And I feel so much better! Three days ago, I got GLUTENIZED!!! OH NO! This is

Eat Out at Your Own Risk
It's been a while since I penned a blog entry for this site and it's been something I've missed. I intended to post something in June, but the gluten-Gods had something else in mind for me, and on June 20th I was seriously gluten-poisoned while eating out at an Italian restaurant - and have been suffering the serious physical and mental consequences ever since. As much as I love home-cooking, I certainly also enjoy a nice meal out and the social life that usually accompanies dining outside the

Open Original Shared Link Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and
Going Out to Eat on a Gluten-Free Diet
Good Morning all, Sorry I have not written in a few days. We have be busy like all of you. Friday night my husband and I went to our favorite place to eat (since the diagnosis). Pizzeria Uno. The most fascinating thing happen. We were sitting there eating our food talking about what else, G-free eating, when all of the sudden the couple sitting in the booth behind ours said "you all are eating gluten free?" As it turned out her husband was diagnosed with many food allergies including glute

Onion Rings, Pizza, Betty Crocker, And Cuban
I found a house to buy, so since I'm moving out, might as well mess up the kitchen here....So I tried the beer batter onion ring recipe on this site, but the first "test" rings came out without the batter on very well, so I had a brainstorm and after dipping the raw rings in batter, I coated them in gluten-free Orgran bread crumbs. They turned out crunchy, greasy, and sweet. So savory! They looked and tasted so good, I think non-gfreople would eat them! Traveldude was feeling under the
Awaiting New Bloodwork
I went to see my GP yesterday. He has ordered the anti tissue transglutaminase. He said I need to restart eating gluten, though I have been off it for a week. He didn't have a clue for how long. I called the lab and they did not know either. So last night, in the name of gluten loading, I had three beers...and agadashi tofu with my usual sushi. This morning I had bran buds and a sandwich at lunch. Now I think I may just die! My stomach is cramping worse then a charliehorse in an olympiSchar Chocolate Hazelnut Bar (Gluten-Free)
These delicious creations are by far the best pieces of chocolaty goodness I've had. Once you take that first bite you'll keep going back for more and more. Take my word try them out and tell me what you think. (Open Original Shared Link).
Going to See a Dietitian After My Celiac Disease Diagnosis
As soon as the diagnosis of celiac disease came, the doctor told us he would refer us to a really good dietitian. We were very excited to get in front of her because we had so many questions. As with anything else, the more information you get the more you need so you can filter through it all. I found out that the insurance would not cover it. The plan only covered a dietitian for a diagnosis of diabetes. I could have waited until letters were sent and pre-authorization was in place but weGreen Goodness
Has anyone out there that is gluten-intolerant tried the Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness drink? I LOVE their other beverages but have never tried this one because it says it is made with all sorts of evils..wheat grass, barley, etc. Yet, it is labeled gluten-free. I emailed them and asked how this is possible, and they responded that their suppliers harvest the grains before the gluten develops in them. Is this possible? I could swear I learned in horticulture and botany classes that it is not. I

I'm itchy. Everywhere. Going nuts. I have a big party tonight at my boss's home, with a lot of special foods. I have not decided if I will eat or not. I still have not figured out a drink option. Did I mention I'm itchy?Day Three Down... Lots More To Go...
So I was diagnosed with Celiac... on Thursday. Interesting. I had a feeling but put it off... I had the common mentality that if I wasn't diagnosed then gluten couldn't hurt me. But I always feel like crap. My grandmother had Celiac and was not diagnosed until it was much too late. I've seen what this can do-- and it's scary. I guess that can be good (not in a mean way) but at least since I watched someone go through it who didn't have a choice-- someone who ate bread to calm her stomach when it

Oh MyDid Elisabeth Hasselbeck Commit Plagiarism in The G-Free Diet?
I got a phone call last night from my friend Youssef (he also produces my celiac disease Podcasts) who informed me that Elisabeth Hasselbeck, author of The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide (2009), was being sued for plagiarism and copyright violation by Susan Hassett, author of Living With Celiac Disease (2008). He was concerned that there might be some merit to the case, and if so, perhaps I shouldn’t have Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the front page of Celiac.com. After a quick internet sea
Living with a Gluten-Free Husband
First thing this morning I read a post on the Open Original Shared Link regarding a husband who has celiac disease, while his wife does not. It was like reading about myself. Sometimes we may feel that the person in our lives who has celiac disease is not interested in taking a hand in the treatment. Like the wife in the post, I too find it to be very frustrating at times. But then I stopped and asked myself a tough question. Why am I doing this? "This" being doing all the research, food shGluten-free Lipstick!
Are you celiac or gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant? If so, have I got a Gluten-free lipstick to share with you: Open Original Shared Link Some of us are more sensitive than others about what goes on our skin and in or near our mouths. For anyone celiac, I am sure you will want to look in to this company. Anyhow, I just had to share this with you, and please be sure and share your “finds” with me too. Over the next few months, I have some terrific vitamin companies to share with you, which

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
