Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Please Help Me!

So this is my first time every blogging and i'm not sure how it works but i'm going to try my best. I'm fifteen years old and i've had the symptoms of celiac disease for almost four years now!I don't have celiac disease but i have an exremely high allergic reaction to gluten. Because of this, the docotrs couldn't diagnose me, but my mom and i figured it out for ourselves last summer. Now, i've been trying to stick to the diet and i really have been, but gluten keeps sneaking in! Of course, i hav

Another Day Of Feeling Icky

Icky is a word that I have been using lately. I don't like using it because it reminds me that I don't feel good, great, wonderful, or ready to take on the day. I have a co-worker that has a sixth sense. She can "see" the color in people. I call her my barometer. When I start to feel this "ick" I walk over to her and she takes one look at me and gives me the thumbs down or a so-so gesture (we work in a call center so she can't "talk" to me all the time.) Today was a thumbs down day. I finish

Gluten-Free iPod Applications

I recently learned that Triumph Dining has made an iPod/iPhone application based on their wonderful "Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide." I thought, "How Wonderful!" and promptly bought it from the iTunes.com web site. Now I have this wonderful reference with me at the grocery store without having to lug a book along. But, you know what? Now that I've been gluten-free for 2 years, I pretty much know what's gluten free and what's not at my grocery store. And what I would REALLY like is for the p

Pancreas and Celiac Disease Link?

If I only knew I had celiac disease long before I was finally diagnosed. Now suffering celiac spru, gastroparesis and severe pancreatic insufficiency, I will never regain the full use of my pancreas. I am in the process of learning if the celiac or Lyme Disease was the biggest culprit in damage to my Pancreas. I'll keep you posted if anyone wants to know. My sons have been dianosed with Lyme and with the information on this site I've learned my youngest (16) may also have celiac disease.

Gluten-Free Conveniences. Fad Or Forever?

Until my daughter develops the ability to understand and communicate her feelings, I will have to guess if her bad belly is the source of a stomach bug, or the side effects of eating gluten. Because the entire world seems to be filled with germs, viruses and bacteria that are out to get children, a stomach bug seems to be a reasonable explanation

Experimenting With Gluten Free Flours This Week

Just got back from the store and bought a bunch of different gluten free flours! I plan to do some experimenting this week and I'm excited to get started! My dad found out from my grandma that my great grandpa had issues with wheat. He never could eat it, his whole life. So I am wondering if he didn't have celiac disease. I mean back then I doubt anyone was really getting diagnosed. My grandma also has stomach and heartburn issues, similar to the issues I have and seemed interested in the gluten

Dairy

The day before Valentine's Day, we were having potatoes, asparagus, salad, and fish. I skipped the potatoes and had the rest. Turns out the fish had butter on it. I was never terrible allergic/sensitive to dairy. It was a tiny thing resulting from gluten intolerance that had gone unnoticed. So I went back on. And it doesn't seem to be bothering me, eight days from then. So I will happily slip back onto some chocolates, cocoa, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and other things I might have misse

New Propel Not So Safe - Severe Dh And Digestive Issues

So I heard that propel had some new flavors and have added extra vitamins to help hydrate! Just what every celiac needs - extra hydration - turns out to be not so great for me! I though it could be good. Propel has always been gluten free, and helped with my dehydration issues immensely! I usually get the little flavor packets to carry in my purse just in case.   Well I saw the new flavors and I grabbed the new peach one. It tasted a bit funny, so my son drank the rest of it.

My 2Cents On More Glutenfree Food And Dining

My new favorites: Glutino Gluten Free Organic Bars (chocolate & peanut)-smaller than a "traditional" granola bar, but taste fabulous and travel well. Progresso Canned soup (low sodium chicken and wild rice)- $1.25 a can at Target with pop-off lid I don't really like creamy soups, but they have many gluten free soups, and many are LABELED gluten free! Glutino breakfast bar (reformulated) CRANBERRY. Really good. New formula is less chalky. Good to keep in car or to travel with. Good Ea

My First Run Outside In Weeks

So I've already told you about my Na imbalance. I've had serious anxiety about running by myself without a partner after a few scares but I needed to do a 10 miler today and could NOT face doing it on the treadmill. Haven't ran outside in weeks and have only run over 6 2x in the past few months. Haven't ran 10 miles since mid-summer. So I knew it would be a struggle. I got everything ready including water and Jelly Beans sports supplements, gluten free runners have to use supplements sooner

Making Up For Lost Time

So I've been MIA lately! Sorry!! Last week was a busy week of working for school, teaching, and doing per diem. Didn't even have enough time to workout. Then this weekend was Scotty and my "Stay-cation" here in Boston. We got a priceline hotel for Saturday night and made the rule of "no car for the weekend".   Ate at a lot of great places and was amazingly surprised by Legal Sea Food's gluten free menu. Finally tried out Nebo which was FABULOUS and at the Chart House on Sunday night they

My Story Till (Semi)Diagnosis

I thought it would be good to explain my story to figuring out why my body was attacking me. It was started when I was young(apparently. Neither me or my family noticed anything strange until I hit 8th grade. Though recently figured out that all of my favorite foods from when I was younger were gluten free, and explained why sometimes when I was sick crackers would only make matters worse. As well as why I was constantly in the nurses office with a stomach ache(they always thought I was faking i

1St Entry Of 2010- Valentine Don'Ts

Thanks so much for over 20,000 blog hits! I'm so humbled that you love my musings...or love to laugh at them...or laugh AT ME...or love to HATE me, lol. As you know, I enjoy singlehood more than the average person, so here are some of the romantic DON'Ts I've had to endure over the years from well-intentioned men (I'm recognizing their effort,really) attempting to hone their inner Don Juans: (the intention here is to amuse, but also to prevent further embarrassment and awkward moments)   Sap

Trouble Eating Out Gluten-Free...Good or Bad?!

Since my husband is forced to be on a gluten free diet eating out has been a major issue for him. My family does a fair amount of eating out since both my husband and I work full time. At the end of day cooking a meal is the last thing on my mind. The problem for my husband is that most of his favorite restaurants have good amount of gluten dishes that he absolutely loves. Because of this eating out problem, I force myself to cook at home more often than usual and I have to constantly remind mys

Dr. Goldman Creates Carb-One Low Carb Gluten Free Muffins And Breads

Open Original Shared Link was established by me to produce low starch, very low sugar products which can be substituted for starch products because of the difficulty of many patients with diabetes to stay on such a diet.   These new products do not raise the blood sugar levels to any significant degree. They are safe for diabetic patients to eat.   All of the ingredients have been approved by me as safe for diabetic patients.   All Dr. Goldman's Carb-One products contain no sugar, grains,

Diabetes Mellitus And Celiac Disease 101

Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the body is unable to utilize glucose (a simple sugar).   As a result, glucose levels in the blood increase. This exposes the blood vessels and surrounding tissues to elevated levels of sugar which have a "corrosive" effect on these structures. After many years of this excess exposure to sugar, the blood vessels and tissues become irreversibly damaged which leads to the long term complications of diabetes such as blindness, kidney failure and amputation

Super Bowl (Weekend Part 2)

Ok,   That entry was getting a bit long so I thought I'd continue here. We got home and I had to finish grading lab reports from last week and made a few questions for the student's exam on Thursday. Then it was time for the Super Bowl! Ok, I'll be honest...I googled, furniture surfed, craigs listed, house searched for the future, and played around more on the internet only to watch intently and shhhh Scott during the commercials.   Before the game even started I put the computer down f

Weekend Wrap Up

So this weekend we went skiing at mount snow with a group of people from college. There was no internet, barely any phone service, and somewhat satellite TV...it was LOVELY. Well that is except for when people were lost trying to find this house in the abyss of the woods, then it got tricky.   So we all graduated back in May and it has been incredibly difficult to get everyone together for dinner nevermind a weekend of skiing, boozing, and having fun. We found the house on homeaway.com for

Teaching

So today was my first ever solo lecture for the undergraduate students! It was a lot more prep work and took forever to make the slideshow. I never appreciated the work our teachers put in before! I was so excited and I would say it went well. There were definitely times in the class when people looked bored/confused/or just upset they had to sit through class. I tried not to let it throw me off but it was difficult.   It's hard to stare at 12 students who aren't really engaged. I felt a

Beginning Of Feb

So it's Feb already! I can't believe how quickly the time flies. We are getting ready to go up to Mt. Snow for the weekend with a big group of friends. I would say I am definitely nervous. This will be my first group weekend in a long time. Normally I manage to avoid these situations or only room with those I am closest too.   My plan is cook all of my food ahead of time for the weekend so nothing needs to be prepped in the house. There will be between 12-14 of us in a 4bdrm house so the

Sickly Waste Of Life Part 2....Sodium Deficiency

So I've been sick on a off for a few weeks. Thought I had gotten over it until a few days ago. The cough has subsided but now getting O2 into the system is impossible as the cold moves it's way out. We finally had a weekend of no visitors, no work, no nothing except relaxing and catching up on homework (and nursing myself back to health) It has been glorious. Accomplished just about NOTHING yesterday and slept about 10 hours each night. But today I went to get my run in. Needed to get 6 m

Grocery Store

Grocery shopping has historically taken me, a sufferer from self-diagnosed ADD/ADHD an excruciatingly long time. However, then I became gluten-free and wouldn't you know....it takes even longer. I used to just walk aimlessly picking whatever was on sale, looked interesting, or I had always loved. Meandering each aisle, list in hand which I was completely ignoring. I'd end up at the check out bewildered by either the cost, amount in my cart or both.   Well yes, I still ignore my list, I sti

      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..
