The Gluten Free Give Back: Food Banks

We’ve all heard of Oprah’s Big Give show from a few years ago. I am suggesting during this Celiac Disease Awareness Month to do a “Gluten Free Give Back”, as we take time to give back to this disease that has changed our lives so significantly. During this month I plan to do occasional postings on how we can give back to the gluten free community. This post is looking at food banks. We all are likely VERY possessive of our gluten free food– it’s so expe

House-Hunting Expedition: Gluten Free On The Go

My Marine was committed to a time-consuming motorcycle safety course all weekend (he has had a retro bike for a year that he isn't licensed to ride yet), so I packed up some <b>Glutino pretzel sticks and crackers</b>, <b>Lara Bars</b> (pb&j, peanut butter cookie), apples, <b>Bunny Organic fruit snacks</b>, and leftover Starburst <b>jelly beans</b> and jetted off to Atlanta. Once here, this perfect little inn Seth booked for me has a mini fridg

Gluten-Free Event Kicks Off Celiac Disease Awareness Month

Going gluten-free is a hot topic among those embracing a more healthful diet in 2011. And new research estimates that gluten sensitivity may affect over 40% of the population. But for 3 million Americans, going gluten-free should be more than a lifestyle choice. Celiac Disease affects 1 in 133 Americans, yet 95% don't know they have it. May is National Celiac Disease Awareness Month and the Celiac Disease Foundation is celebrating 21 years of raising awareness. Monday, May 9th from 11a.m

Anquish Over Gluten Free Easter

Our first Easter Sunday without gluten. Not as hard as one would think, but since Kaia is also allergic to dairy, latex, beef, cherries and soy, a lot of candy is already off limits so I just needed to refine my already dwindling list of safe candies. Growing up, the Easter Bunny never brought a lot of candy he always seemed to bring the one thing we were “dying” to have, so when it came time for the Easter Bunny to start visiting my little girl, it only seemed right to have a little candy and

Allergy Season Is Here...

For some reason this time of year is tough for me. Trying to find a gluten-free allergy medication is tricky. Benadryl Children's Fast Melts used to be my favorite but finding them on the pharmacy shelf is difficult. Haven't been able to find them for months. Tried CVS brand but got a tummy ache. They contain sucralose which can cause symptoms in sensitive people. Also modified food starch can be tricky too. Magnesium sterate ?? Wonder if it can cause diarrhea. I see that the liquid Benadryl doe

Needing a "Heads Up" on Headaches

I am now collecting information, research, articles, professional papers, and especially, patient stories, for a new project. Many people with food sensitivities and with celiac disease suffer from headaches, or have family members who do. I would love to hear from anyone with an interesting headache "case history" they're be willing to share confidentially, and from any practitioners who have learned something valuable from treating patients for headaches.

New Planet's Gluten-free Light Beer

I never considered myself much of a beer drinker until I had to go on a gluten free diet, and it wasn't until that moment then that I realized how many beer choices I once had. Thankfully, I have found a couple brands of gluten free beer that I enjoy from time to time, but now that summer is quickly approaching, I have been keeping an eye out for a light version of a gluten free beer. After many trips to my local stores, I just assumed that it wasn't possible to make a low calorie gluten free

Family Obligations

My aunt, age 88 with no family of her own, recently moved from her house in Vancouver to a seniors apartment not far away. She had fractured her spine at the beginning of January, and after spending a month in the hospital had come to realize that it was time to get some help. My older brother, who's retired, had gone out to stay with Aunty, facilitating her return home. He was the one who got her looking at the various seniors places. She was reluctant, but it had to be done.   When older

Meat Glue Secret - Why Celiacs Need to Beware of this Possibly Non-Gluten-free Ingredient

There was a post on Facebook, in the Celiac Global Guide, about something called meat glue. It told celiacs to beware if you are eating meat because you are most likely digesting transglutaminase (aka meat glue.) It might be one way that harmful ingredients are getting into your system and why you may not be recovering, even if you’re being really careful about gluten. Unfortunately, the meat industry is protected. They do not need to list this as an ingredient. This enzyme has been approv

Yay I Discovered Awesomeness

So lately I have been craving all sorts of baked goods that I can't have. Sure I could make a gluten version of nearly all of them, but that's more work for a simple craving. But its not like I can go to the nearest bakery and pick up goodies, because even if they did have some gluten free items, most likely there would be cross contamination, with all the regular flour in the air. So I decided to search for a bakery that was gluten free, ANY bakery. Turns out there is one only fourty five mi

Pushy Pushy Pushy

Well, yesterday anyone who was anyone stopped by without a phone call, just to "talk." Okay so it was only three people, my church leader and my two visiting teachers (two women in my ward who have been asked to visit me each month and give a spiritual message. Every woman in my ward has them.). But normally these people call before they stop by. It was too coincidental, honestly. And I really didn't like it. They were pushing me to see a counselor (for my anxiety and miscarraige) through

Thought The Madness Was Over....

Well it's been a long slog getting to this point. I thought I was finally on the road to recovery, but the swirling vortex of psycho-babble is pulling me down - again! As my grandson would say, "Yikes!!!"   To bring you all up to date, my history goes something like this: I didn't have that many symptoms as a kid but it became problematic when I started my family during my 20s, especially with the second pregnancy. My doctor at the time kept saying that nothing was wrong, and none of my doc

      Worm inspired treatments inch towards the clinic

      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..
