Hawaii Bound

My first child has flown the nest. She is moving to Hawaii. I drove with her to California so that she could ship her car from there. Then I flew home by myself. I can't go in her room yet. I know it was past time for her to go, but it still hurts.

No Harina, Por Favor

Boyfriend sends text message to me at work last (rainy)Friday: //Do you have a valid passport and can you get Monday off work?// So, we fly to Cancun that night and have a great time! (His bday weekend) We crammed snorkeling, zip-line riding over the jungle canopy (I'd seen it on the travel channel and was dying to do it), rappeling, bicycling, kayaking, hiking, Mayan ruins, etc. all in one weekend with a long flight from CA to the Carribean! Mexico is SO easy to eat gluten free! I ate lobst

Gluten and Maize-Free (gluten-free-MF)

Getting Started

I would like to thank Scott for the opportunity to create a blog on Celiac.com. I am a mother of three very small and rambunctious boys, the oldest of which (5) suffers from wheat and corn allergies, the delayed intolerance kind. He developed a tic disorder after his preschool vaccinations last fall and the symptoms gradually worsened over the next six months. We had all kinds of tests done and visited many doctors before we finally had allergy testing done. This was when we discovered the root

Does Celiac Cause Sensitivites To Rx's?

Does Celiac Cause Sensitivites To Rx's?

Has anyone out there found a link with celiac and allergy-type reactions to various medications? e.g., I take hormone replacement meds since losing my thyroid to cancer. I can only tolerate a tiny dose because my body reacts like I'm allergic to the medication. I've checked and double checked - there is no gluten in any of the fillers/binders. I also find I cannot tolerate antibiotics and a variety of other medications, e.g., severe allergic reactions to Vicodin. Would love to hear from you

For those of you looking for Gluten-Free Restaurants I have GOOD news!! Margaritaville in Orlando is very close to rolling out there GLUTEN-FREE menu!

Doctor Issues...

For the past three years, I've been having weird breakouts on my elbows. Some medical professionals told me that it was most likely a skin reaction, and not to worry about it unless it spread. This August I noticed it on my knees as well. This started my doctor chain. I first visited my family doctor, who sent me to an allergist. I went in for a scratch test, but nothing reacted like my breakouts (I did find out that I am mildly allergic to grass and dog dander, but can still have a dog). After

Gators, Taters, And More

No fried alligator for me! I really did want to try it, even tho it probably tastes just like chicken! My mother and I cooked our own Thanksgiving for Two. She was upset that I said I hate Thanksgiving. My brother is allergic to poultry, so it's not like I'm the only one who doesn't like this holiday. So we made it "our" way. We loved it. My mom didn't have ANY bread! She ate a gluten-free muffin Kinnickick Frozen blueberry- and she liked it. She couldn't believe the texture was so

I Had A Sammich Today! :)

Ever since Thanksgiving, I've had a mad craving for turkey sandwiches. Not just any old craving. A MAD craving.   One of the local grocery stores carries both Kinnickinnick and Glutino breads! Woot! Lightly toasted two pieces, added some thinly sliced leftover turkey, a little salt and pepper, and (ok I cheated on the sugar) some cranberry sauce. Left off the usual slathering of mayo because I'm trying to watch my fat intake.   Ooooooh! It was goooood! I ate it all up!   Not goin

New To The Gluten-free World

Hello! On Monday, my 3.5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease . . . and so we are new to the Gluten-free world. This has been an overwhelming week for our family, but each day seems a little more manageable since I am beginning to learn all about the Gluten-free diet. Any "beginners" info, advice or comments would be welcomed. Will it be easy for her as she grows? Do you know of any lunch meat or hot dog brands she could have? Any restaurants where she will be able to eat?

Freak Cold

I'm home from my California T-giving holiday. I survived.   I'm really bummed, though. I haven't had a cold/sinus infection/flu or anything like that since going on the gluten-free diet almost four years ago. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it actually has something to do with gluten. Anyway, I was beginning to think I was immune and was never going to have another cold again, which was a thrilling thought. I was feeling somewhat invincible and smug.   So, no cold for alm

Bad Food This Evening?

ugh, feel awful this evening. I've been fighting a sore throat for two or three days and have a bit of a cough. We went out to a movie this afternoon (Enchanted, cute) and I ate a little popcorn, then we went to a new Hong Kong Buffet. OMG, my stomach is so upset and I can clear a room with no effort   I don't know if it was only the carbs or if there was wheat in the food. I tried to eat things without the sauces and stick to vegetables and unbreaded meats but there HAD to be something there

First Gluten-free T-giving

Well, it's here. This will be my first holiday season going gluten-free. I took on cooking the thanksgiving dinner for 11 so I could control the gluten. That's really easier in some ways than going somewhere else. My family has been good about accommodating me, but it's hard to trust that someone else's cooking is not cross contaminated. My sister's OK, but my mom does not get it at all! All she keeps saying is 'you can't eat anything anymore.' Well that would be true if I ate like she doe

Barley Challenge, Paranoia, And Other Musings

I wanted to find out if my reaction was to just wheat or to gluten. Decided to do a barley challenge to find out for sure. Had a teaspoon of cooked barley last night. Had some lightheadedness and very minor reflux, but otherwise ok. No bloating, no pain, none of what I had with the wheat challenge. Will probably take a couple of days for everything to work its way out (so to speak) but so far so good. Some minor tummy problems this morning (belching, slight hearburn, repeating), but not ba

Gluten Free Wed/honeymoon

Hi. I just got engaged and my fiance and I are considering a run away to the beach wedding/honeymoon. Does anyone know of a destination that would be friendly to my gluten free needs. It would be a most awful time to get glutened. Any advice or thoughts on this matter would be welcome!   Thanks, Amy   gluten-free 1 1/2 year in Pittsburgh

Bad, Mad, Sad Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving is almost upon us and for the first time in my life I'm dreading it. It's my favorite holiday, one in which I've almost always spent with my parents, brothers and sisters, and their children. For the last 15 +/- years they've all come to my house for the holiday. Our numbers have dwindled somewhat because of children growing up, going to college, getting married and my oldest brother moved to FL so they haven't been able to make the trip the last two years.   My husband's

Inpired In My Bed

I woke up before the alarm this morning and a silly little poem shaped itself in my mind within a couple of minutes:   Back 2 Front, Front 2 Back, I'm hundred percent celiac.   It rules my life in many ways, Cuz getting glutened means pain for days. Grocery shopping, dining out, or being a guest, Are incredibly stressful events, at best.   Poke and pick, Pick and poke, Living a gluten free lifestyle is no joke!

Foods I Can Not Handle

this is to update my "discoveries" this last month or so. I definitely can not handle milk or cheese. Cottage cheese doesn't seem to bother me though. I can NOT handle potatoes at all. The pain in my back and the bloating in my upper left rib and back area is horrible. I, of course, can not handle wheat at all. And carbonated beverages are out.   So, the bad food list is this:   gluten milk cheese potatoes carbonated beverages   I'm not sure about corn....still testing that on

Grocery Shopping - The New Adventure

So here I am, spending most of tonight surfing the web and printing out gluten-free product lists, ingredients to watch out for, recipes, meal plans, etc.... Yeesh! I'm beginning to feel guilty about the number of trees that died in the name of "Safe Shopping" and the need to fill our bellies. Hope the 3-ring binder is going to be big enough.   The last time I hit the grocery store, I was so overwhelmed. Hardly bought anything. Figured I'd go in prepared this time.   It seems like foo

Where To Get A Straight Answer

Hi Well I'm new at this, my first time and I'm not sure if I doing this right .... My kids would get a kick out of this if they knew I was writing a blog... I have just been diagnosed like so many of you. I'm learning, and getting a bit tired of not getting a straight answer... I'm trying to find out what products are safe. I think I have the food thing down pat, but struggling with the shampoo, makeup, hair dye stuff. anyone have any suggestions.

If This Is Exciting Enough To Write About, Imagine How Boring The Rest Of My Life Really Is

So, here I am 2 weeks past the self dx and 5 weeks gluten-free altogether. Still not feeling fabulous, but better. Have more energy and I attribute that to the B12 supplements. I've been actually getting up off my butt and doing stuff around the house the past few days. Its nice to be able to do that without having to stop and rest every 5-10 minutes. Also think my semi-annual house purge has been kicking in. Gotta get all the extraneous junque out of the house and get it thoroughly cleane

      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
