Trying To Stay Motivated

I have had so many different problems in the past three years. They started from running too hard, when I would get diarrhea while running, and after which I would feel nauseated and sick, as though I were coming down with a virus. I would go to sleep, then wake up feeling fine. After about a year of this, my health seemed to not recover from the running sessions. I would feel sleepy, foggy minded, and had a lot of digestive problems whether or NOT I went running. My doctor ran blood tests

The First Day of Your Gluten-Free Cruise

The time has come and all your hard work is going to pay off. Now to make sure you are ready. You must make sure you have your first night's meal with you. You don't want to have to find your luggage and retrieve it from your room. You might not be able to get to your luggage so have that with you as you enter your ship. Also have couple blanks in case you find out they gave you the wrong menu. Do you need your for bin and safe list for ingredients. Do you need your salad

Always Go To Your First Dinner On Your Gluten-Free Cruise

It is very important to arrive for the first dinner. You don't have to always go to dinner in the main dinning room when there is the entire ship to eat at if you wish to try your luck outside the main dinning room. Arriving at the first dinner is your chance to introduce yourself to the Head chef. Even if he never sees you the head chef is going to know that you take your special diet very seriously from your form, and that you made it to dinner. When you walk in the dinning room the hea

How to Prepare for a Gluten-Free Port Visit on Your Cruise

This is a person’s preference if they eat at a local restaurant at a port. I get way too sick if I try this--like I said before. I can only suggest how to try to do it but it is you doing it and I can't guarantee any results because I am not cooking or serving the food. GOOD LUCK To eat at a local restaurant while at port You should have already done a search on the internet for the ports you are going to to see if there is a gluten free restaurant. To be able to speak and rea

How Do I Get A Podcast On To My Ipod?

Q: So how do I get this mp3 file on to my ipod or other mp3 player? <br> A: there are so many ways to do this. <br> first, if you're using a Windows computer, use the right-click (you can learn a lot about what's going on by highlighting things and right-clicking them) to "download link target" and let it download on to your desktop. <br> The file name should look like "celiac_dot_com_podcast_edition_001" or whatever the episode number is. <br> Then, drag

Review and be Ready for the Gluten-Free Cruise

This is what you should have done. Or get all done before your departing date. Booked your cruise with the agent and let them know you have a special diet (sometimes it goes through and sometimes it doesn't). Be safe and figure they screwed up. Make sure you know your room number, time you are eating dinner in the main dinning room and your table number. All this goes on your form letter. Contact your cruise line directly and tell them you have a special diet and that you are going to contact t

Withdrawal & Cravings

I have been looking forward to going gluten free again, but the cravings have hit!! The first time I went gluten free I remember having the cravings...I would wander the house, wondering "what can I eat that will fill me up!!". It took a week or so and then I felt so much better. The second time I went gluten free I didn't notice the cravings....this time, though, I am noticing!! I am pretty active so do need to take in a fair bit, but here is what I have eaten so far today over the past 6 h

Only 3 Children's Tylenol That Are Gluten & Soy Free

I was able to talk to someone at Tylenol this morning to confirm if Children's Tylenol was gluten and soy free. There are only 3 of the Children's Tylenols that are gluten free. They are Cherry Blast flavor, Bubble gum favor and Very Strawberry flavor. The rest according to the person I spoke with this morning have gluten in them. She also confirmed that these 3 flavors are also soy free. The glycerine in these 3 Tylenols is synthetic not from a plant source. I have been seeing Tylenol on the gl

I am a chef so misspelled words, terrible grammar is what you will get...but I am one of the best of best when it comes to food. Now that you have reserve your sitting seat for your cruise and have received the menus from your ship it is time to prepare what you are going to eat.

Decision, Decision, Decisions

I had my meeting today with the gastroenterologist. She was very nice and had all the relevant info from my doctor. Basically, she indicated that since I have been gluten free off and on for the past 8 months (the last 6 weeks have been on gluten, 5 weeks before that gluten free, 2 months before that on and then about 5 months gluten free before that) she would want to see me do a gluten challenge for 3 - 6 months before doing an endoscopy. She would do one if I really wanted one, but would

Celiac Going Down Hill

CELIAC UNTREATED,LEADS TO BIGGER PROBLEMS   In 2004, I was in fairly good health. I had fibromyalgia, IBS, and chronic bone pain from Arthritis. In May we went on an all expense paid cruise to the caribbean Islands for 8 days. 2 months after we got back, I started getting severe diarrhea, all over aches, abdominal distress. It got so bad I ended up in ER, arrythmia bad, sometimes I thought it was my heart, as my chest hurt also. I found out later, that when they do a tram flap, they sta

Goosebumps: My Whole Foods Frenzy

The Whole Foods Market finally opened (about a 40 minute drive...we do minutes, not miles over here)!! AND I TRIED AND LOVE SO MUCH OF THEIR FOODS ALREADY!

Rockstars

I attend the Art institute of Dallas in the Graphic Design program, so most of my projects require a lot of work; with that comes, obviously, a lot of time. Like most college students, I stay up all night doing my projects most of the time. I started drinking Rockstar energy drinks because it's the only one I could find that doesn't contain artificial coloring (which have abhorrent effects to my mental state - Red makes me angry - Yellow makes me depressed - if blue effected me in a different wa

Amazing Gluten Information

I am Ki-Ki, a 29 year-old college graduate. I am a teacher. I was diagnosed with Celiac's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome, auto-immune thyroiditis, and ulceritive colitis three years ago when I was still in college, (I was undiagnosed for nearly 2 years and almost dropped out of college from the pain of the symptoms.) As a teacher, I LOVE learning and reading. My family has tried to be very helpful with the disease and has given me tons of support and interestingly, information. I recentl

Ok, so I just found out im gluten-intolerent and I dont know what to do. All of the food at my school has gluten in it, and nothing i like is gluten free... I dont know what to do.

Mind Tricks And Food Logs

I am so glad I am keeping a food log. I have read of other people having this happen....it seemed like when I first reintroduced gluten I had symptoms that were more severe (stomach pains, bloating, burping, etc.), but it almost seems like after a couple of weeks, the symptoms are easing off and I am still on gluten.   Here is the trick though. I have been diligently keeping a food log of everything I eat and every symptom I notice, related or not....every burp, every rash, every canker sore

Living in the Garden of Eden

I am Celiac. It is a self-diagnosis and I have yet to find a doctor who even recognizes the disease. I'm still looking. In the meantime, I maintain my own health and try to help others who exhibit the symptoms. Most will refuse the elimination diet. I have learned to accept that fact and pray that those people are not actually gluten intolerant. This is not a death sentence. If you can use a computer, you live in an area that allows for three meals a day. That is a luxury for a large percentage

What's Your Operating System?

Remember DOS? It was the most commonly used operating system for the PC back in the 1980's. Since it is now as extinct as the Dodo, we can amend the acronym for our Celiac Diet in order to ask, "What is your DOS (Diet Operating System)? When my allergist and I were uncertain about what was suddenly ailing me eight years ago, I was handed a printout for a two week EXCLUSION diet. Different foods or groups of foods were to be removed from the diet, with the possibility of being reintroduced once

      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
