Getting Warmer
Life hasn't crumbled. Summer is just around the corner. My second son Andrew came home from Australia. He has adapted to my gluten free life quite well. He is a bit hesitant to eat what he perceives as my food, but I tell him to help himself, the only things he can't touch would be my tuna, bread and mueslis. The rest I eat is not typically marketed to be gluten free, but is gluten free non-the-less, so it is not expensive. The last thing I want to do is be a drain on our finances, soDoctor Appointment Made
I just made an appointment for Thursday November 15th, of course they want a sit down first before they will test since I do not have a family doctor for referral. The good thing is, this doctor is the same doctor that diagnosed one of my wifes co-workers with it 10 years ago, so cross my fingers he knows what he is doing. I am sure he is going to want to know symptoms and such and then he will decide if I need tersted or not. I have to be honest, I hope this is not it, I hope its somethingThe Beginning
Well, this being the beginning of this blog, and the beginning of this journey, I think it is fair to say I am a little nervous. The not knowing is probably the worst part. I am planning to go to a GI and get a full Celiac blood panel as those who I have spoke to have proposed. They say I should continue to eat normal food until I am tested for proper diagnosis. I guess I donOops..i Ate Mac & Cheese
I know better, but I ate Mac and Cheese last night. Now I am paying for it!! Does anyone else have these uncontrollable urges?Crunchy, Chewy
Hooray for chewing! I'm off the soft- food- only diet! Immediately had the detective transport me to the fair and crunched up some corn on the cob, a PINK'S hot dog (bunless), and I wanted a caramel apple, but detective warned it's too crunchy and too chewy. Oh, well. Off prednasone and on 800 mg of ibuprofen, I got so dizzy at work. Now have to cut the pills in half so I can function. Here's what I ate today: Gluten free and not terribly crunchy:Yogurt diet lemonade drink bacon cheeseburNew
Hi. I was diagnosed with celiacs about 5 years ago and have done the diet on and off for that time. I have been gluten-free for about a year straight now, and although I do feel better, things are not perfect. I am 21 and spent the last year eating dorm food which was always scary-you never know what exactly is in anything that is not already packaged and it's not like any of the kids serving you have any idea about allergies and what is in the food. I am currently living with 3 roommates wPatio Repairs
I finally, finally got around to repairing my patio. I think I've got pics on this blog of the concrete patio that I painted a couple of years ago. This spring we had to have foundation repairs and the company that did it had to chop four holes in the patio. It was extremely annoying, but even more so because I asked them to be especially careful not to toss their tools around and chip the patio any more than they had to. Well, they totally ignored that plea. They chipped the paint and concStart Your Celiac Blog Here!

While my relationship is still heaven on earth, my delectable detective has been nurturing me through my latest health slump. I don't need ear surgery (no fluid), but the specialist says I have TMJ, which is caused by stress and my high-strung personality. I do not grind my teeth (like many TMJ sufferers), however, I do clench my jaw when I'm stressed (I'd never really noticed until I made an emergency pitstop at a gas station only to find an "out of order" sign on the restroom door, and realSept 7th 2007
well. hellos to everyone. i guess i had a rough day. not much to say. ha i rhymed. well loves to all just checking out the blog .::STARGIRL::.Confused About Celiac's?
For most of my life I suffered from what was thought to be Celiac's. I had all of the symptoms, but tested false. After years of testing and diets, the doctors gave up. I lived with horrible intestinal pain, sometimes to the point of bleeding. I was always having diarrhea and gas, I was completely embarrassing. When I would eat I would get dizzy and sleepy. Sometimes, I would get so sick I would go the emergency room as I thought I was dying. After, a few hours I would be fine, except forMussels White

I was diagnosed with celiacs about 6 years ago. At first I tried the diet for about 4 months, but gave up. I am exremely under weight, and never really finished puberty. I recently found out I have a petuitary tumor. Is this connected to my celiacs?!? I know this is the reason I never grew to full potential, being almost 23 years old Im kinda stuck this size. But after vigerouse research I never found any connection between the two. My celiac symtoms are just constant upset stomach, I getKidney Stone!
OUCH! I had a kidney stone attack on Monday. I don't think I've ever felt such pain...maybe childbirth, but this was different. It was a sick pain with no end in sight. At least when you birth a child you know it will end and something good will come of it. The pain started at about 10:30 in the morning. It was a sharp pain like a muscle spasm from my bladder down my urethra. I thought it might be an extra bad bladder infection, so after a while I took some aspirin and an AZO.Restaurants And Social Life
Hello again. It's been a while since I've written. I live in a land where seasons change and summer's way too short. I've been busy enjoying life outside and away from a computer (at least at home.) Work's another story. I've been diagnosed for five months now. In some ways it feels like yesterday and in others like lifetimes ago. It's still a day-to-day adjustment. Challenging situations present themselves each day. I realize that this will never end and sometimes it gets me down.Back In The Saddle
I was watching Men In Trees (rerun) and the Asian lady said her husband has a "gluten allergy" really casually right in the dialogue and it fit right in the storyline. It was SO COOL!! I realize most celiacs know it's not an allergy, but that is a word the general public understands. Also, I went to Rubio's Baja Fresh and the guy at the counter pulled out an allergen list and told me to keep it, he brought out the marinade container (without me asking) to let me see the ingredients, then hadToday At Work
Let me see. Today started off quite fantastic. I had a slight hangover from the wine last night but it was over shortly. At 10:30 am I was approached by Stan in Sunglasses to tell me that Brandy C had come in with her breakfast and clocked in and then sat down and ate it for the next 30 minutes. He was doing some ranting and so I went upstairs and saw Brandy in the GSM office hanging out still and it was 10:45. I told her that her associates were looking for her. She goes downstairs and thFantastic Bbq Sauce!
My husband loves to BBQ, so you can imagine his disappointment when he was first diagnosed with Celiac. We thought we'd be limited to grilling sans A1 or any other store-bought sauce. So I began experimenting. Finally, I developed a combination that pleased everyone in the family. Plus, it's delicious on ribs, pork chops, chicken and even certain steaks. It's sweet and savory, spicy and a little smoky. Give it a try ... Ingredients: 1/4 cup of olive oil 1/2 cup of honey 1/8 cGluten Free Cosmetics - Please Help..
Hello - does any one know of any brand name cosmetics that are gluten free?? (Example: Foundations,Lipsticks, ect...) ThanksGluten-free Cooking For Everyone!
My husband was diagnosed about two-three years ago with Celiac disease. Since I love to cook, and I'm told that I'm pretty good at it (besides being genetically pre-disposed though my Italian genes), I viewed the situation as a welcomed challenge in the kitchen. However, the outlook didn't appear as optimistic to my hubby who thought that his favorite pastime -- eating -- would never be the same again. Actually, it isn't the same.

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
