Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs
Review: Larabar
I thought I would add some reviews of the gluten free items I try. I know there are other blogs out there that do this, such as Open Original Shared Link (and they seem to do an excellent job) but I thought I would do this just in case there are any other people out there that have 'texture issues' like I do. (If you don't know what that means, then I'm guessing you don't have it - I can try a protein bar and love the flavor but have a major issue with the texture - too cakey, too gooey, etc - wA Long Beginning.....
It's already been a long beginning, but it's about to get longer. I'm not diagnosed celiac disease or even gluten-intolerant, but I've done enough research to suspect that one of these things is what's wrong with me. I plan on using this blog as a way to gather my thoughts in one place, maybe keep a food journal and review various gluten-free products I try, as well as, hopefully, help someone else along the way. It's a scary, lonely road (mine has been, anyway) and if I can reach out and hMy Emails
I contacted Koda Farms and they told me and the store I buy it from that their Mochiko sweet rice flour is G.F? Did you learn otherwise? I just got Diagnosed and that is one of the brands that I eat every day , my main symptom is severe abdominal psin which is not gone yet. The box said that our product is suitable for G.F diets. What do you think ? is their regular rice not G.F or made in a facility that is contaminated with gluten. I do worry about cc my goal is to eliminate every trace pos
A Disastrous Luncheon
This article humorously depicts a disastrous luncheon I attended. It brings home the message that living gluten-free can be challenging! Today I went to a business women’s power lunch. Now I am not a businesswoman and could give many examples of my failed attempts at staying-home-and-making-millions-while-I-do-the-laundry-and-change-diapers, but I had better not. However, I attended the luncheon after a generous invitation from a successful acquaintance who thought I’d meet the right pers
Quick Question
Hello - I am shocked at the prices for Gluten-Free foods. It seems really unfair. I can understand organic food because it's a choice to buy it or not, but gluten-free food is not a choice. Any suggestions out there? I just paid over $4 for a box of pasta and $7 for a bag of pretzels. Give me a break. What a market. Sorry to sound whinny.
On The Prairie
Tried the prairie bread everyone loves, and I'd give it 3 stars out of five. The texture and flavor are not as good as the frozen white Kinnickinnick (Kinn)breads I eat. (I have found out how to prepare the Kinn bread just the way I like it. I either defrost it in the microwave or fry it in the pan.) Anyway, the prairie bread earned three stars because it is edible and the seeds make it seem healthy in some way. I can only eat one slice- no sandwich. I got glutened the first night at my
What's Going On?
What's up with this new blog format? I don't like it at all. We have a restaurant near us called the Fish City Grill. I had eaten there a few times when they first opened up a couple of years ago, but they had very little gluten-free items on the menu. My daughter went there yesterday and found that they now have a gluten-free menu. She spoke with one of the "higher ups" in management that was visiting from Chicago who has celiac disease herself and she said they are trying to add more a
Strawberry update
I have not yet gotten an answer to the question " Are strawberries grown in wheat straw gluten free. I have asked my local Chapter of the Dept. of Agriculture to look into the question. However, I have found that the surface coating of gluten can be removed with Vege Wash that you can buy at your local grocer.
So Celiac Is New To You
As I read stories of the new celiacs and the problems of finding out the answers to their questions, I am finding myself wanting to help in anyway that I can. This is a disease that is more than just eliminating gluten from your diet. There is so much more that is still unknown about this disease. Even if you leave gluten out as I did, I still remained very sick. I found out about a clinic in Chapel Hill, N.C., and made an appointment. Here they treat the whole person, not by giving you another
Muddy Buddies
I got glutened! I had some food sitting on the table in the teacher's lounge next to my purse -covered- and I quickly went into the copy room to make some copies. When I came back, there was a woman with her hands in my food! She was eating my food! I said, get outta there! Everyone laughed. And I got glutened. I guess I shouldn't have stepped away. But, it's a busy time of year. I had back and leg pain within the hour but the bathroom bonanza didn't begin until the morning. That'Don't take my strawberries! (Are Strawberries Gluten-Free when Grown in Wheat Straw?)
I have been reading articles that say that people with celiac shouldn't consume strawberries due to the fact that they are grown in straw. I picked strawberries with my children yesterday and I asked the local grower what type of straw they used and sure enough it was wheat straw. I have eaten strawberries and had not had a reaction, but after knowing this, I didn't eat any of the ones that we picked. I intend to look into this situation and I will keep you posted as to what I find out.Croissant?...ah Oui...or better yet, o No!
I'm a huge tennis fan and French Open groupie! I mean what can be better than hanging out in the City of Light and watching Rodger Federer dash around on the red clay?! So for the past couple of weeks I've been reading all about and watching as much of the tennis coverage from Paris as possible, and thinking back to the good old days when visiting Paris meant getting to partake in all the fabulous goodies from every Patisserie you passed and wolfing down croissants...ahhh I can still remember so
Read Your Labels!
The word is out my friends, and gluten-free is slowly but surely oozing its way into everyday conversations, literary articles, and food labels. But beware! Not all labels are up-to-date. Why, just last night at a baseball game, I happened to glance at a bag of Doritos chips. I had even been told by the company a year ago that the item was gluten free. They looked delicious, but something in my gut (literally) told me to read the ingredient label over once more just to make sure everything was

Anorexia Nervosa And Celiac Disease
I have just been doagnosed with Celiac disease. I have been anorexic for about 20 years. I am curious about the relationship between the two and have been doing some research on this. I think that I have always had the Celiac, it just went undiagnosed and was possibly inactive until the past year. My father had it as a child but says he has now outgrown it (though I thought you never outgrew it). Anyway it seems to be hereditary and this is where it seems to have come from. I would have be
Men Aplenty, Men Galore!
So the Ranger struck out. (crowd jeers.) For date three, I agreed to go to his house to watch a DVD. After inviting me, he warned me that women never return for another date after coming over. (Music: DUN-dun- DUNNNNN!) He said it's because he has no furniture, and they must be materialistic women. (mental red flag raises in my mind here) I responded by saying that I have male friends and brothers, so I realize what bachelor pads can be like. OMG. No furniture. OK. But he neglected toThe Truth Is Out There, But May Never Be Known
Well, my doctor is sure it was just a viral thing I had after all and not an allergic reaction so no allergy testing for me. It actually makes more sense it is viral based on all the flu like symptoms and the time it took to come and go. I am back into my regular routine, taught 2 spin classes and a conditioning class and went for a run over the last few days...no relapse, so am good as new. In the meantime, I am planning all my summer running and am looking forward to the next race...help
Feeling Better This Morning
after Sunday's contamination, I'm feeling better this morning. My stomach doesn't feel nearly as bloated. I do still have some back pain from swelling and all but it's not as bad as yesterday. I had a protein shake this morning and put a pork roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight. I'm in a starchy mood so I know I have to be extremely careful today. I'm going to the store soon, I will look for lots of fresh fruits and vegetables to help feel me up for the day. I get into trouble even i
May 25, 2008 Simple Insights
I posted this on another forum but felt I needed it here to always remind me of how simple my diet can and should be and how much better I feel if I will follow this: here's where I'm at at this point: 1. grains of all kinds cause inflammation and pain FOR ME 2. red meat, pork, too much chicken (more than once or twice a week) cause inflammation and pain FOR ME 3. all dairy, ESPECIALLY CHEESE (which I love too..) cause pain and inflammation for me 4. chocolate..same as aboveMe And The Farm
I've been super busy and haven't had time to make any new entries lately, but hey, I feel compelled to go for 10,000 hits since I'm so close. My husband and I have been renovating the house that we bought (on the 36 acres). We've bought our first goat. He's a character - like a pet dog. We also bought a couple of guard donkeys that don't seem to know they are supposed to be guarding. They are both pregnant and due to foal any time. I'm looking forward to the fuzzy little babies. IThere Is Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Hi fellow celiacs, Yesterday I read several blogs that just broke my heart. I replied with the knowledge I have learned through the years as being a celiac. I believe knowledge is powerful, but more important knowledge about your health is powerful. When you visit a doctor , take a friend that loves you. Begin a journal and take that with you.Be strong even though you feel bad. I have found out the more you educate yourself, the more respect a doctor will give you. The most important person is yThere Is Hope
Hello! This is my first entry as a Celiac. I am happy to find a family that understands what it is like to live with this disease. I have been a celiac for about 38 years but only found out that I was 6 years ago. My doctor said this at least. Now I do not feel crazy. I know what the problem is. But eating a gluten free diet did not solve all my problems. Just recently I found I have many food sensitivities and removed these from my diet along with the wheat, barley, oats and rye. I have been a-

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
