Carrot Cake Muffins!
Bread of Life Gluten Free Carrot Cake Muffins are delicious! I cut it in half, warmed 1/2 for 30 seconds and put butter on it and served with hot spiced tea. Oh my gosh it was so good I wanted to eat the other 1/2! I'm glad I didn't cuz now I can have it for breakfast tomorrow. I had some gluten on Christmas and the day after Yesterday was very good 100% no gluten and so was today. I just about grabbed something yesterday and husband actually caught that it had gluten (yeah!) I m
Study Compares Results of Dietary Treatment for Autism
Parent Ratings of Behavioral Effects of Biomedical Interventions Data on adverse effects and benefits of various diets for autism has been collected by the Autism Research Institute. More than 25,500 parents filled out reports. The information was gathered from questionnaires designed to collect such information. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet had 195 subjects and scored a percentage point higher than the Gluten Free Casein Free Diet which had 2208 subjects reporting. The entire study can be

Do I thank Al Gore for helping me understand celiac disease? Although Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet, he did discuss his role in Internet development in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Claims that the former U.S. Vice President invented the Internet are an urban legend. The Internet has played a major role in arming me with coping skills for Celiac Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Latex Allergy. I jokingly tell my friends one of my favorite practitioners iCeliac, Dieting and Body Weight
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is efficient at keeping weight stabilized once a normal weight is attained. Take my trusty Tanita weight scale before it becomes rusty. I still perch on the digital Tanita weigh scale the first thing every morning--jiggling a bit from side to side to push the number lower (Despite the fact the read-out rarely changes or wanders, bad habits die hard). Seeing the same number continues to surprise because my weight fluctuated wildly from 1944 until shortly before I3 Week Vacation

Acceptance *angels' Chime*
It's been 2 years since this gluten free segment of my life story has commenced. I think I can self-diagnose that I am over the stages of grief over the loss of my normal, carefree lifestyle. I have reached acceptance. The three year period I've read about that it takes to become thoroughly accustomed to the diet/lifestyle, seems to be correct. I still have mishaps and I still get annoyed with it. But next year (end of year 3), I think I will feel a much firmer grip on it. Much love to theHoliday Menu
I'm not having many people for the holidays, so I'm just going to keep it simple and easy. There will be ten of us, so I just bought two turkey breasts rather than a whole turkey. I'll also make mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing. Mom is bringing sweet potatoes. I can't decide whether to just have a tossed salad or make some other green vegetable. For another vegetable dish, I bought the ingredients to make a new recipe called Yellow Velvet. It has kernel corn and yellow squash in a cr
Christmas Presents
Okay so me and my boyfriend totally cheated and opened our Christmas presents early! since it is after all just us and our dogs, neither of us has family out here in North Carolina, so we decided what the heck...Anyhow to the point, he is the sweetest, he got me the book, Living Gluten Free For Dummies!!! now a lot of people laughed when i told them that is what he got me, but i absolutely love it! It shows that he put some thought in to his gift, and that he wants to help me be successful in go
Shampoos?
I forgot to add this in, has anyone else had a problem with shampoos and conditioners? I was using Treseme, and my hair started falling out really badly, read the ingredients and number 2 on the list was wheat something, I have quit using Treseme completely and my hair is growing back... I was told as long as you don't ingest it that it wasn't supposed to harm, so does anyone know why that would happen? I mean the results are clearly that i cant use it, since my hair was falling out, im talkingExit Strategy - Eating Out
Celiacs Need An Exit Strategy. Eating is a very social activity. It plays an important role in cultures word wide. Did you know that Polynesians are more private about dining than about sex? Last week I listened to one of those provocative obnoxious radio talk show hosts that demonized those who have special diet requirements. He said we should just eat what's being served or stay at home. I let the station manager know how I felt about that! We will not allow our Celiac diagnosis to turn usA Healing Kitchen
December 21, 2007 (shortest day of the year) Celiac Disease and the requirement for commitment to a long term restricted way of eating seemed like the end of the world but it quickly became a whole new beginning (When you love to eat you don't swallow defeat easily) I never imagined giving up many sugars and starches would turn me into a fast and imaginative cook, or find me sharing this "mandatory hobby" with thousands of others. I vowed to use my imagination to beat celiac disease and chAttitude Counts
Your approach, attitude and degree of personal commitment to lifelong dietary restrictions is so important. You can make protecting your intestinal health a positive and creative experience rather than getting mired in regret or resentment over having to sacrifice certain foods. I have always viewed my diet as the glass more than half full and made every effort to maximize the appeal of permitted food. think my diet is fun and am not ashamed to say so! The most difficult part of following aHeal Gut With Slippery Elm And Marshmallow Root
Hi, I am new to this site. But as I wait for my organic chicken to bake for a Thanksgiving feed with my boyfriend I thought I'd start this blog. I have found that herbs and other supplements have helped heal a great many of my symptoms along with of course avoiding all gluten. Given my apparent success at healing myself, I have been invited to speak at the Santa Cruz, CA celiac support group. It was suggested there that I start a blog. How easy can this get? I am hopeful that this t
Maybe I Really Am Crazy
Just re-read a couple of posts I'd made earlier on the board. Geeze! Yeah, that's me who wrote them, but still. I sound like an utter looney! I've always been a bit "off" (its part of my charm), but recently I've a little more off than usual. No.... scratch that. A LOT more off. I used to be an upbeat, logical, reasonable person capable of handling things in a patient and straightforward manner. People would even come to me for advice, not because it was necessarily good, but because
I'm Starving And Afraid To Eat Anything! Gah!
Every time I turn around, some new health thing pops up and new dietary restrictions come into play. First, it was the thyroid and avoiding goitrogens like unfermented soy and raw cruciferous veggies. Then it was the elimination diet and having to avoid gluten, dairy, corn and refined sugar due to reactions. Ok, fine. I can deal with that. Spent 4 hours in the ER yesterday due to having abdominal pain for 6 days straight. They didn't find anything, of course. Just said to follow up witGREAT GF eating in Toronto
IL FORNELLO - It's a chain in Canada, and it's amazing in what they offer. Was in Toronto this Spring for 5 days, and ate there 4 times. Delicious gourmet GF PIZZA (see pic) - thin crust, cooked in the stone pizza oven on A SEPARATE PAN. (the rest of the pizzas go straight on the stone.) It was delicious. They say they have a steady stream of celiac customers. I can't remember, I dont think it was a separate menu, but rather a notation that all pasta and pizza items can be made GF.. Anyhow, gre
Frozen goods: AMY's 'gluten-free' pizza...not gluten-free for me
Hi, So, just putting this user experience out there and asking for your feedback. I have often gotten Amy's gluten free pizza (the plain rice crust/ Cheese one), and have gotten sick every time. (sick meaning: inflated, swollen, etc, followed by all the 'afterness' later.) I confirmed with someone else (they actually bought it up first), that they cant have this brand either. They only tried the Spinach/Soy cheese flavor (which I LOVED, but questioned it too). It can be observed that there is aPossibly heading to China...what to eat?
Just a short note and request for suggestions; I've heard to stay away from brown sauces (could contain soy sauce), but that the 'white sauce' is ok. Other than certain dim sum...I'm guessing the steamed rice noodle wrapped shrimp dumplings (not the more yellow (flour) noodle wrapped shu mai) and egg 'pancakes' with peas and sausage. (no bread) Is anyone familiar with either eating in China, or of types of food I would be able to find? Are they big on grilled meats?Alcohol and Celiac Disease
Single white female seeks alcohol during social hours that won't irritate, humiliate, or disrespect my small intestine. I know the big "no no's" - gin, whiskey, beer or anything fermented from grain, hops, barley. I miss my black and tan's at the local Irish-type pub but still love my cosmos. Any advice on the affects of vodka, rum, mixed drinks in general? Or should I just give up the ghost when it comes to happy hour and stick with club soda and lime?
What To Eat/
So apparently I've had Celiac since I was about four or five. That's when I began to show the symptoms anyway. Since then I was generally healthy but would get sick and be in and out of school. Now I know I was living with all of the side effects from the nausea, digestive pain, delayed growth, tooth decay, dizzy spells, constant infections, brain fog etc... I was tested for anemia and mono in HS but both came up neg. It was not until I moved to College that my extreme weight loss and fatigue b

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
