Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs
Dark Minded Child
I've had issues since I can remember. In kindergarten I remember thinking all the other kids hated me, that there was something seriously different about me, something wrong. These thoughts were most likely from my negative family, seemed to be passed down. I believed those negative things and it hurt. Then they sent me to chiropractors at age five for scoliosis, which I did have, x-rays proved that there were three curves. Could be debilitating if it wasn't controlled soon. There came newer docHalloween Party & Thanksgiving Planning
To see what I'm planning to cook for Thanksgiving this year, with links to recipes, click Open Original Shared Link. I got ideas from magazines as well as from the Gluten Free Expo in Norcross, GA, last weekend. I'm throwing my first Halloween Party, and these are the gluten free Halloween snacks I'm serving: Chocolate tombstones and witches fingers I'm making from molds where you melt and put food coloring in the chocolate to paint different parts of the design various colors.

Hi guys, I'm a chef that cooks gluten-free dishes from starters to desserts. I'm not celiac myself but wanted to ask a question. "What are the dishes that you miss because of being a celiac or on gluten-free diet? It can be anything!" I ask this because I love cooking gluten-free: sticky toffee puddings, ravilois, fresh breads, bread and butter puddings, fresh pastas and so on. I would love your feedback instead of me guessing what to cook. Thank you, ScotWaiting For Nov1 Blood Test!...back On Wheat!
I was off gluten for 6 days and have an appointment for a colonoscopy Nov 3rd and plan to take the Blood test on Nov 1 (can take it anytime before Jan 4, but why wait?) so I have two weeks that I have to go back on wheat products (and feel crappy, and sleepy and horrible!!!)before the tests. I do however, plan to go off wheat enjoying some of my favorites. I finished my ovaltine this AM and had Lasagna for Lunch!!! very sleepy, foggy headded and paying for it otherwise though!...Oh well tWhere I Stand And Taking One
It has been a while since my last post. I came home from medical school to think things over, but it has been the best decision for me. My head is screwed on straight and I am really focused. It has been an interesting few weeks. I came home to stay with a family member with Celiac, who was diagnosed 1 year ago. It is mind boggling just how little she knew about her condition and the danger in her everyday eating habits. It really saddens my heart that doctors do not educate patients more on thiFrom: Gluten Allergy
I just recently found out that I'm allergic to gluten and wheat. I'm just wondering what other testing I need to have done? I got the blood test done for celiac and it came back negative. I heard that the only way to really tell is if you get a biopsy of the small intestines. My homeopathic doctor doesnt think I have it but I dont know what to do. She wants me to get done this testing called (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) Testing. It checks for food intolerancesCeliac Ninja's Experience
I haven't written a blog in years. Well I guess this should be about gluten-free eating and the trials I went through to get where I'm at. Probably future goals and stuff too.Oklahoma Firm Recalls Center Cut Steaks Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Wheat
Chef’s Requested Foods, Inc., an Oklahoma City, Okla., establishment is recalling approximately 875 pounds of center cut steaks because the packages actually contain turkey filets. The turkey filets contain the allergens wheat and soy, and the center cut steak labels do not list wheat as an ingredient, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product subject to recall includes: 10-oz. plastic double cup packages of “Chef’s Requested CEHighlights of 2 months GF life
Almost 2 months of GF and here are some highlights. I’m finding it hard to tell if being GF is helping. I had a sinus infection when I began my GF diet, and now have had one for almost 3 weeks (thought it was a migraine for the first week). I believe my body is reacting to the nasty antibiotics and my mind is more focused on fighting off the discomfort than appreciating any benefits GF might be providing. Unfortunately, I can’t separate the discProlab Proactively Recalls Some Protein Products in Order to Correct Labeling for Items That May Have Undeclared Wheat and Gluten
PROLAB NUTRITION INC. (PROLAB) is recalling some of its protein items that may contain undeclared milk, wheat and gluten allergens. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or wheat and gluten allergens may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume products containing these allergens. For this reason, below is a list of the protein products that PROLAB is proactively recalling, although no illnesses or discomfort has been reported to date: PCeliac Remission
When I saw Marku Makki talk, he spoke about desensitization and spontaneous remission in some celiacs. He has seen it in his decades of practice. It's in one of his articles but I can't seem to turn it up. I did find some other stuff for you. I don't know whether the Gut links will work for you because I have an academic affiliation that allows me to see research articles but I copied the conclusions. Desensitization.

This is my first blog, not really sure how this works, and i know i am terrible at spelling but here it goes. I went into a "gluten free" resturaunt and asked about cross contamination and i was told "if i actually have celiac disease that i shouldnt eat there". Apparently alot of "gluten free" resturaunts today are for people on a gluten free diet trying to loose weight. It is extreamly frustrating when every time all my friends go out to eat i have to sit without food and watch every one elseSpouse Does Not Understand
I do not have Celiac but I am gluten intolerant. I am also diabetic so I need to avoid excess sugars. The problem is my husband, who is wonderful, does not understand gluten intolerance and though I have tried to explain the importance of how I eat, he keeps asking me to go out for Pizza or to Burger King and places like that. He is a junk food junkie. I feel guilty because I keep having to say no. I want to go out with him but to places that I can eat healthy. I know he does not meaWho's Frustrated? Oh Wait...that's Me....
If I really am honest, I began this journey years ago as a kid always overweight not understanding why. Finally was able to lose the weight in college actually through eliminating gluten, just not realizing it. Fast forward to two years ago. Gained the weight back...stubborn acne and still suffering from stomach issues. Gyno tests my hormones-they're normal. Then tests for PCOS-comes back negative.

Issues Allergy Alert on Several Varieties of Vareniki/ Dumplings Because of Undeclared Wheat
M & P Food Productions, LTD. of Brooklyn, NY is recalling several varieties of Vareniki/Dumplings because it was discovered that the products contain undeclared Milk and Wheat, therefore posing a potential health hazard. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these allergens run the risk of illness or serious or potentially fatal allergic reaction if they consume these products. The ingredients statement of the products did not declare the presence of milk or wheat. As a resultFrom: Tell Me About "gluten Defense" Pills
The enzyme in all the so-called gluten pills is DPP-IV. It is NOT one of the enzymes in clinical trials and it will not detoxify gluten. It does not cleave internal di-prolines, which are what cause problems digesting gluten in the first place. DPP-IV only works on prolines at the ends of peptides. These companies are lying, using the FDA dietary supplement loopholes. Most of the pills are enzyme mixes. Celiacs tend to have reduced pancreatic activity, so a lot of people find the "glutenTheir Normal Finally!
Celebrating the small stuff again today. My ankles look normal for the first time since coming to the Caribbean. So excited!!!! Now I just have to keep them this way. My biggest tell tell when I get into gluten is my ankles instantly swell like crazy. Which is followed by fatigue and depending how much I got into what feels like the flu.

I know it is bound to happen again...but enjoying for the moment the energy and feeling of being almost nHow it all started...AKA...In the beginning
How it all started Overwhelmed. ..anxious. ..excited…and a gamut of other emotions are what I felt that day. Did I hear this new doctor right? He left the exam room stating “wait here, I think I have something that might help you.” I was out-of-town for a week when I started with sinus problems on the second day there. I was in a familiar town, had a former doctor there, but chose to visit a walk-in clinic hoping to be in andThe Beginning Of Me Taking Charge
It has been a long road to this season of my life. The journey thus far has been wrought with what seemed like bad luck, but really just a string of now explainable events. Gluten has been, behind the scenes, controlling my life. Now it is my turn to take charge, and this blog is how I am going to do it. I recently moved to the Caribbean for medical school, three week prior I solved the puzzle, and my doctor confirmed it. I have Celiac Disease. At first it was oh I can do this no bread or wOur Story
I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child in Feb of 2005 because I was having serious pain and bleeding that I should not have been having. A trip to the ER and I was informed that I was pregnant, probably by only a couple of weeks, however, with an ultra sound they were unable to locate the baby in the uterus and the Dr. believed I had a tubal pregnancy. I was told that I should let them give me a medication that would end the pregnancy immediately and allow them to perform surgery. I refuse-

I read a research article today about how hookworms are being considered as a standard of care of colitis. Dunno about them used for obesity treatment though. The first thing I did once I figured out I wasn't reacting to gluten anymore was to head for the bakery isle. It had been 13 years..
