Going to See a Dietitian After My Celiac Disease Diagnosis

As soon as the diagnosis of celiac disease came, the doctor told us he would refer us to a really good dietitian. We were very excited to get in front of her because we had so many questions. As with anything else, the more information you get the more you need so you can filter through it all. I found out that the insurance would not cover it. The plan only covered a dietitian for a diagnosis of diabetes. I could have waited until letters were sent and pre-authorization was in place

Green Goodness

Has anyone out there that is gluten-intolerant tried the Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness drink? I LOVE their other beverages but have never tried this one because it says it is made with all sorts of evils..wheat grass, barley, etc. Yet, it is labeled gluten-free. I emailed them and asked how this is possible, and they responded that their suppliers harvest the grains before the gluten develops in them. Is this possible? I could swear I learned in horticulture and botany classes that it is not. I

Day Four

I'm itchy. Everywhere. Going nuts. I have a big party tonight at my boss's home, with a lot of special foods. I have not decided if I will eat or not. I still have not figured out a drink option. Did I mention I'm itchy?

Day Three Down... Lots More To Go...

So I was diagnosed with Celiac... on Thursday. Interesting. I had a feeling but put it off... I had the common mentality that if I wasn't diagnosed then gluten couldn't hurt me. But I always feel like crap. My grandmother had Celiac and was not diagnosed until it was much too late. I've seen what this can do-- and it's scary. I guess that can be good (not in a mean way) but at least since I watched someone go through it who didn't have a choice-- someone who ate bread to calm her stomach when it

Did Elisabeth Hasselbeck Commit Plagiarism in The G-Free Diet?

I got a phone call last night from my friend Youssef (he also produces my celiac disease Podcasts) who informed me that Elisabeth Hasselbeck, author of The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide (2009), was being sued for plagiarism and copyright violation by Susan Hassett, author of Living With Celiac Disease (2008). He was concerned that there might be some merit to the case, and if so, perhaps I shouldn’t have Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the front page of Celiac.com. After a quick internet sea

Living with a Gluten-Free Husband

First thing this morning I read a post on the Open Original Shared Link regarding a husband who has celiac disease, while his wife does not. It was like reading about myself. Sometimes we may feel that the person in our lives who has celiac disease is not interested in taking a hand in the treatment. Like the wife in the post, I too find it to be very frustrating at times. But then I stopped and asked myself a tough question. Why am I doing this? "This" being doing all the research, food sh

Gluten-free Lipstick!

Are you celiac or gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant? If so, have I got a Gluten-free lipstick to share with you: Open Original Shared Link Some of us are more sensitive than others about what goes on our skin and in or near our mouths. For anyone celiac, I am sure you will want to look in to this company. Anyhow, I just had to share this with you, and please be sure and share your “finds” with me too. Over the next few months, I have some terrific vitamin companies to share with you, which

Canobie Lake Park

Has anyone out there been to Canobie Lake Park while on the gluten-free diet? I called the park today and was initially told they have a strict policy of not allowing any outside food into the park, so we could not bring our own food. They also said they couldn't tell me over the phone if any of the food offered there was gluten-free and not contaminated. They suggested coming to the gate and paging the manager to inquire if there was any food there for us to eat, or bringing our lunch and ea

Celiacs Who Can't Stop Cheating on the Gluten-Free Diet

I was doing some research tonight when I stumbled upon what I consider a most disturbing celiac-related confession on a website that appears to highlight anonymous revelations. The title was I’m Dying and I’m 19… The skeptical news person in me questions how realistic the preceding “confession” is, but whether it’s real or not, I believe the idea of non-adherence to the gluten-free diet is a real issue and deserves some space on this blog. So allow me to use

21 Months into the Gluten-free Diet

Life is interesting, that is for sure. Things have gotten really wonderful. The brain fog is gone, and I see life in a different light. The last two years have been hard, but I realized how fortunate I've been. God has given me many gifts and opportunities. I have never been so grateful for the wonderful things, and also the difficult times that I've endured. I really see the path that I must take and all of the people that I will be blessed to know. I would like to help all I can with th

Celiac Disease on NPR June 15, 2009

Did anyone catch the early morning news on NPR yesterday? I turned it on in the middle of a very good piece on a family with celiac disease. The focus was on the recent diagnosis of a 15-year old boy. He was active in sports and had intermittent symptoms, until one day, they became constant and fairly severe. He was diagnosed fairly quickly, and responded well to a gluten free diet. In fact, that was the best part of the story. He explained that he felt nearly entirely well after only two w

Sex Drive/Testosterone can be Depleted by Certain Foods

Most people are familiar with terms like natural hormone balance, BHRT, and bio-identical hormones. Alternative health care practitioners run expensive tests to alter or favorably increase specific hormones and offer specially-compounded expensive medications that are more compatible than regular Rx's. There is an easier, simpler and far less costly way: Reduce those foods that deplete your hormones and that inhibit your sex drive. The following articles will a

Trying To Gain Weight

I was recently diagnosed with "undiagnosable" Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance. My primary doctor had started me on a G/free diet prior to the testing so they were unable to get a positive with the blood work or the biopsy. Because I had reponded so well to the G/free diet they are confident with the diagnosis.   For years I had been from doctor to doctor, speacialist to specialist. They all said it was IBS-C - Eat more Fiber - Exercise - I tried everything - I basically was ready to thr

Bgf, Creep Shield, And Bone Edges

Funny to realize that going "against the grain" for years has opened my palate to foods I never would've enjoyed BGF (before gluten free). Baked goods with nuts. I liked some nuts BGF, but never baked into stuff. Now, I love Pamela's ch.chip cookies with walnuts and Trader Joe's Flourless Chocolate Walnut cookies, which taste more like brownies to me. Even when I bake my Namaste or The Craving's Place brownies, I put walnuts on top! I even made green beans with sliced almonds. I like Almond

Update on a Celiac Disease and Parkinson's Disease Link

I've been very interested in reading the responses to the previous blog discussing whether there could be a link between celiac disease or gluten intolerance and Parkinson's disease. There still is not any clinical information linking these two disorders. Many people do feel there is some connection, or in some cases, gluten-sensitivity driven neurological symptoms have lead to being misdiagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Three or four people are currently embarking on a gluten-free diet and

Celiac Exchange Student Prepares to Leave: Lessons Learned

Ida our 17, turned 18-year-old, exchange student from Norway will be leaving us in 9 days. As I look back the year has gone by so fast. It has been a year of growing in the celiac lifestyle - with a teenager who doesn’t need me hovering over her all the time. Although not to say she couldn’t have used it once in a while. I introduced you to Ida in one of my first posts back in November. I explained how we were blessed with her presence for the school year and about som

The Beginning, Or How Long Have I Had This?

On April 18th, 2009, I attended a friend's wedding across the country. Halfway through the flight home on the 19th (a Sunday), I was miserable. I had stomach pains, and they seemed to be mostly in the lower right section of my abdomen. I thought: Oh god, it's my appendix. Oh god, what if it ruptures? Is the change in air pressure when we land going to make things worse? I was in pain, upset, and slowly freaking out more and more.   We landed about 2 or so hours later, and my hubby took m

      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..
