Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

I Think I'm In Mourning!

Having just been confirmed that I have Celiac Disease a few days ago, the doctor had me make an appointment with a nutritionist which will be this coming Thursday. The nutritionist is having me make a list of foods that I eat and like. As I was making this list it occurred to me that many.....MANY of these foods I will no longer be able to eat and that makes me very sad. I think of going to IGGY's and having clam cakes and chowder....that luscious New England chowder...thick and creamy white,

Writing

For those of you who don't know, I'm a fantasy fiction author. I love to write. I can't communicate all that well by talking, but writing suits me perfectly. Poems, songs, books, even papers -you name it. I love to write. Well, with a combination of starting a story around Feb/March, writing (this is all by hand) 181 pages in April, and writing 150 pages last month and several misc. pages in between, I've finished my first book. Funny. It's also the last book in the series. It's not getting pub

I'm Just Not Well..

I went for the blood test some years ago, after finding celiac.com on the food net work.. I was amazed I had all but one symptom. So I stopped eating wheat glutens for 2 months to see if that would change anything in how I felt. It surly did. I then went to the doctors to let them know my findings since they could not for the life of them figure out what was wrong with me.. 8 doctors and 100,000.00 in tests previous to that. I finally get the blood test and they tell me it is inconclusive. I

Marching on Gluten-Free!

Good Morning Everyone, It has been sometime since I have checked in and for that I apologize. The gluten-free diet is going well but a little boring. I did discover a new product (well new to me). I was shopping at my local Redners a few weeks back. I was picking up the cookies my hubby likes. upon my arrival I noticed 2 men standing right in front of my (LOL) gluten free section of the aisle. I say mine because I never see anyone else standing there. I became very curious as to why they

I Am Trying To Help My Daughter

This is my first time trying to use this site and I fear I am making a mess of it !!! I need help in knowing how to help my daughter who is 38 years old. For the past 23 years she has suffered with an illness that has been undiagnosable. Her initial symptoms were in her words, "my hands hurt and feel different; my elbows hurt, but the pain is not in my joints, it is all around my joints; I'm very tired; I have a lot of drainage and it is making my throat sore". From that point, her symptom

Ice Cream Cones. Serious Summer Goodness!

Dating Island Boy encouraged a couple trips to L.A., so I multi-tasked...got to taste goodies from The Sensitive Baker (everything was frozen, which was disappointing), but I tried several things, and the only things I'd repeat are the cupcakes and the cookies. I also tried Mani's Bakery and Cafe, which is supposed to carry gluten-free selections in the bakery, but all they had were peanut butter cookies, which were fair. Crumbly as all get-out. So, I walked down the road, chatting on my cell

Eating Out

Yesterday night was the first time I'd ever eaten out since being diagnosed. (I'm not counting flavored ices at stands and stuff like that.) We (my dad and I) had a GREAT time at the Outback. The food was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection (their wasabi -soy free - was GREAT!), but that's not what we paid for. The customer service was super, and a waiter that helped us figure out exactly what I could and couldn't have on the menu. He even went into the kitchen to make sure that they di

Edema During Recovery

I was recently FINALLY diagnosed with Celiacs. I was suffering from malnutrution, and was very, very thin. Not too long after I started the gluten-free diet, I got "refeeding edema" and gained 25 pounds overnight. It's been 6 weeks and it hasn't resolved itself. My doctors are stumped and say "give it time." Did anyone else have this experience? If so , how long did it last? Is there any effective treatment? I am miserable and feel like an overstuffed sausage! ThankS

A Gluten-Free Trip to Hershey Park

Last weekend all 5 of us went to Hershey Park. What an experience to have with a celiac! We did search the official website for Hershey Park and was happy to see they offered a page listing all the ingredients of the food at the park. There was one place that had gluten free hamburger buns. Over all we did have a good time but worrying about what a person can eat and be at an amusement park is difficult. Mostly because the one of the best parts to being there is munching on the junk food. If

One More Day Till Friday...

Irritable at work today. Very tired in the afternoon. Not sleeping well. Some insomnia. I'm trying to go to sleep earlier but I have a hard time falling asleep then I wake up at least twice a night. This insomnia is new onset. Rash not too bad today. No BM yet. Sorry, I know it's gross but I want to track how I feel on a regular basis.   Fruit and hard boiled eggs for breakfast. Pad Thai for lunch.   4 cups of coffee...I have to have my coffee.

Rash Rash Go Away...

Tired of this rash on my back and chest. I'm not treating it until after I get tested. Very itchy!!!!! My head has been itchy as well. Belly is...not too bad. Some constipation. I also have a rash on my eyelids. And it seems that a headache is never far away.   Gluten free is going to be quite an adjustment but if I will feel better then it'll be worth it.

Information

I have celiac disease and I am looking for a nonalcohol gluten free beer and wine. I also am looking for a recipe for a home made pasta that can be made in a pasta machine.   I did find out that Micky's sub and pizza place in Brainerd MN has gluten free pizza and it is very good. I as told that the Black Bear bar and grill has gluten free breads.

Celiac Fever And Rash Any Ideas?

My daughter is 15 months and has had a fever running between 99 - 101 DEGREES for the past 2 months. She has also had a rash that is recurrent appearing on her ankle, back, belly and armpits. Our family has a history of celiac disease. We are already treating her as if she has it. Both my son and I are also celiac positive. What we are wondering is if she is having a reaction to the dog's food or my husbands food that is in the house that is not gluten free. So far we've been to an ENT (fo

My Son

My son is 7 now.   He occasionally {about 3 - 5 times a year} has random pain, fever and unexplained clumsiness.   I see this and think of all the times I went through that as a child.   I have had the Dr give him the blood test for Celiac and it came back negative. I know that blood test isn't always accurate.   I am on a very strict gluten free diet. He eats gluten free - by choice - for the most part.   It still worries me because of all the genetic problems that run in my family.

My Story

"I'm sick but I'm pretty." I was always told not to complain because I had it good compared to my autistic cousin and aunt with Cerebral palsy. Agreeing with this I suffered year after year silently as I could imprisoned in my own body knowing something was wrong.   So here it is about the real - sick - me. If you take the time to read this I thank you. There are several stories on this board that have been truly inspiring. I hope I can do the same for at least one more person!   I ha

Personal Story

Hello, everyone! This is the first time I've ever posted anything. The following is an exerpt from my final research paper for an English class. Let me know what you think.   Around the beginning of the summer, I started having intense stomach cramps after almost every meal. I have always had lots of food intolerances (bananas, papaya, poppy seeds, eggs, pineapple, spinach, broccoli, you name it), but I was not eating any of those, and I did not know what was making me so sick. Food that I lov

Actual Results

Hello Blogland.... After a bunch of self research, I asked my doctor for copies of my test results so I can see exactly what he meant by "gluten intolerance". When I looked at the numbers I was VERY confused because it said my Gliadin SIgA was 7 Negative. I immediately posted a question and Korwyn from this forum responded saying that since my total IgA Serum is extremely low, it will affect the Gliadin number and may not be correct. So I guess that's good ~ for a minute I thought my docto

New Diagnosis

Some of you are very lucky to be diagnosed early. i have suffered for 46 years only to finally find out I have celiac disease. i have had so many doctors think I am a hypochondriac.....because i don't really show the intestinal symptoms of celiac......just other symptoms. i have felt badly for 46 years! mind you, i have slowly cut a lot of foods out of my diet on my own because they did make me feel badly, so going on the diet isn't difficult for me, but didn't know if there was a common link be

Curious About Cross Contamination

I've been reading online and on this forum about cross contamination and I'm wondering how serious I have to take this. I haven't been gluten free long enough to know if having flour in my kitchen is going to be hazardous. You see, my husband loves to bake ~ pies especially. Now I have very good will power because I really want to get better... so they are not tempting for me to be around... I won't eat any. But I'm curious if I could get "glutened" by being in the kitchen while he is making

Feeling Better Than Yesterday

I broke down and charged a new air conditioner yesterday. I was too hot, and I'm just a wimp... I swear, the heat makes me a different person. We put it in our daughter's room and put all the fish tanks in there (otherwise we'd have fish soup!) so now we have one room nice and cool to sit in when necessary. Plus it's keeping the whole house a little cooler (95 inside 104 outside). Sorry ~ this may not be the place to write about the heat... but it turns very physical for me. My intestine

      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..
