Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Beginning Another Beginning

I stopped caring about the way I look. I am 22 and 5'7 and about 155. I need to knock off about 20 pounds total. Over the last few years since diagnosed my weight has fluctuated within that 20 pounds. I have been yo-yo eating/dieting and exercising and I am ready to commit to it for I almost weigh the same as my boyfriend! Scary thought-anyways, I plan on blogging my progress throughout the next few months which I am sure will be a struggle because any time I loose a pound or so I usually rewa

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas! This Christmas was great with family and friends. My soon to be mother in law had a friend of hers make me gluten free, dairy free chocolate covered pretzels!!! AMAZING!!! I am still eating them, and I am ready to make some more myself.   My fiance and I traveled quite a bit getting to everyone's house and seeing all our families. We had a wonderful time despite the travels.   Since we scaled down Christmas this year, my family finally was able to go to night service at Chur

An Irish Christmas

So far only one got sick (my older brother; but not anymore) enough to skip meals. Bits of colds are flying around but nothing TOO bad. Wow, I can finally read the time any time I want because I have a watch that actually WORKS. (How long has it been since that's happened?) And the backpack and story binder are perfect! Great Christmas! Anyway...   Christmas is a very informal, relaxed time in our house. Everyone gets to sleep in (especially since the older ones have stayed up past twelve the

Christmas!

Merry CHRISTmas (and none of that 'happy holidays' junk) and a JOYFUL New Year! Celebrate Jesus, celebrate! He is truly the reason for the season!   This isn't long, but I just wanted to swing by and wish you the Joy of the Lord all year round!

Christmas Eve

Until now. That's how long it took. To water the chickens I had to use some water from the greenhouse. Dishes were done by directing madly spurting water into containers and heating them. I have a few burns on my hands from the water and the pots. The water came on about ten minutes ago, and we finally got the ability to flush the toilets and get a drink of water from the sink, instead of boiling microorganisms out of the liquid or sucking on an ever-decreasing supply of ice cubes.   Ah well.

A Unique Experience

Proof of the varying, useful lessons of being homeschooled:   Learn how to increase water pressure (that outcome is hopeful) First turn off the well pump. Partly open water filter containers and find out that turning off the water didn't work it's apparent purpose (i.e. turning off the water). Screw containers back into position and call Dad to find out what to do next. Go climb into the pump house and turn off the water that way. Attempt containers again. Find out that this time it work

Activities Of My Day

The chickens decided to make me happy and turn in the full quota of eggs today. I needed that and the chocolate ice cream I described before to get through geometry. I hate that particular subject. People say that if you like logic and reason you'll like geometry. I love logic and reason. Something tells me that the people who took that survey weren't on top of everything.   At least I have reading. Sure, the study guide delves too deep for the book to be fun anymore, but at least there are so

It's Turning Into A Long Day

We had a fire station field trip today with four and a half other families from church. It took 45 minutes, then they all went to our house (which was a minute of driving away) for a bag lunch. We had a 'fire drill' and most of the people ran outside. I hadn't heard and went into the house only to find it "burning". One of my little sisters, who was outside, did a classic then. "I need to go potty." Perfect.   Most of the families are gone, with only the "half" family remaining. Since they're

Addicted To Reading

Wednesday I started a book I am borrowing from the library. It's called "Sundays at Tiffany's" By: James Patterson (He is an amazing writer) Anyways, I started the book Wednesday morning about 10:00. I took a break around 12:00, showered and went to work. As I was at work and in between giving treatments to the athletes, I read a total of 2 more hours. I was done in 4 hours.....what a great book!   It's about a young girl that has a mom that is always working, she has an imaginary friend tha

Some Easy Recipes

I know a bunch of the people here can't have a lot of things. Providing that you can have corn (and even if you can't), there's a flexible throw-together I've come up with, since my meals often gets forgotten by the rest of my family.   Corn chips Canned chicken Vegetable/s   I like using bell pepper, caramelized onion when available, and/or cabbage, but the vegetables are entirely up to you, as well as cooking them is. If you can't have corn, I also use millet or quinoa as a carb base, bo

What To Write Today?

I'm here again...and I'm bound to go off on random thoughts if I don't get an idea now.   Ah yes, why not. The fine points of writing.   Why not? Because I wouldn't have any tips.   Then why not some of the things I've been writing?   That sounds much better because you have something for it.   Sorry...I was having a conversation with myself. Still, I think Nox came out with a rather good idea. What I've been working on in my story is a traitor. A traitor in the sense that he appears

Found 2 New Restaurants In Dallas Area

I recently found 2 gluten free restaurants in the Dallas area and would love to praise about them. First one is D&A Pizza in Richardson, TX. They specialize in healthy foods including gluten free pizza crust and pasta. The second is Delicious N Fit, Laura's Bistro in Plano, TX. They have many foods ranging from pizza to pasta, to burgers, to chicken fried steak - all gluten free! I even had a gluten free carrot cake and it was all very good. Please see these places if you live in the D

Various Wanderings

I have woken up with a headache -not a really bad one, but one that stays with you as a dull ache throughout the day. Add to that the fact that I stayed up late three nights in a row so I'm tired as well with a fatigue that sometimes defeats my will.   We decorated our four-foot, fake tree last night. Dad is allergic to tree pollen -as am I. Allergies run in the family. The only one without allergies in the first four kids has diabetes. The rest of us share an allergy to cats and asthma progre

Glutened :(

Yesterday I was glutened..and it was probably fault. I went to Steak and Shake with my fiance. We were going to go to a steak restaurant, but it was very busy (being a saturday night). We ended up choosing S & S.   I, first asked the waitress about the chili....which I should have known not to eat it...I had a bad feeling. But, I thought I would try it, since I have eaten chili at other places before. I ordered a steak burger with no bun or cheese, and some french fries. I forgot to ask a

Highly Recommended

This is not an advertisement, but some things I highly recommend:   Books by Ted Dekker. Boy, is he a great author! He writes books that are great for the action and for the meaning -the first I have ever been able to find! I stayed up late last night reading one of his books. Oh, wow, it was gripping and I couldn't put it down even though several times I wanted to and knew that I should. I finished it. These are books that I recommend to anybody over age fourteen. Yes, I'm thirteen, but I've

Some Thoughts On Christmas

Christmas. I'm thinking about Christmas because I went Christmas shopping today. It was crazy. People were rushing about everywhere, the lines at the checkouts were insanely long, everyone were buying so much stuff. Why?   I admit, I was buying a bunch of stuff as well. But I have an excuse. I have presents for everybody in my family every Christmas. (Eleven people.) As well as some of my friends. And I was buying the cheapest things I could find.   Why does everybody think that they need so

Today's Thoughts

Today I woke up as usual. I really wasn't all that productive today. In school, that is. Partly because I didn't have that much schoolwork to do. Partly because we had visitors. Partly because I was completely bored with my work and was busy with my story. (I got a chapter done in Sapphire Necklace.) Partly because I was tired. A lot of the time I was staring into nowhere -more precisely, my own world. One of them. AlneaOmeca.   I'm a pretty weird person. Don't worry about using the term on m

To Continue...

...that story faded off. Then we moved from PA to NC. Pennsylvania to North Carolina. New friends, house, church. Then we got a writing club started. Enter fantasy.   I've actually sort of been doing "fantasy" my whole life, basically in a world somehow remarkably like Earth but also my own (so I could mess around with it). Now I actually start creating things, my whole new world, names, animals, places, geography. So far I've been calling it Chicati.   I've been working on that story for my

Moving Time?

I believe my blog has been censored, without notification or an opportunity to edit it. I wrote a really fun entry a few weeks ago, but *POOF*... Therefore, I've been deliberating where to move my blog. I enjoyed being here, due to the specialized viewing population, but I can't deal with censorship. I have lotsa juicy stuff, too--I went to a gluten free restaurant, no gluten allowed in there! I had awesome recipes from Thanksgiving, and I had new products I've tried, but I don't want t

Calling All Fantasy Writers

How many of you out there like writing fantasy? I love it, and I do pretty well at it -especially when I can focus on one of my many stories. The accountability I have in our writing group is also great. Plus, it helps me get more done on two stories at once. I fill up my quota on one story for the writing group, and then I work as much as I want to on another series that I'm creating.   You might ask how long I've been writing. That's actually a somewhat tricky question. I've always been doin

Gluten-Free Travel Tips

I love to travel, in spite of airport security and the hassle of packing, (especially for a Celiac), but really...I don't mind. I still love the feeling of rushing to the airport to catch a flight to somewhere...and as the plane takes off, the feeling of soaring above the earth is really one of my favorite things to experience - off to a familiar, or perhaps unknown destination. With that said, I have learned the hard way over the years, that it really does take someone with Celiac Disease an e

The Joys Of Being Homeschooled

1. Flexibility! We can make room for a whole lot of things (like dentist appointments and spontaneous trips to the museum) and are not restricted by a public school schedule.   2. Lax schedule! (Sort of. ) No strict schedule (really). "Get this done by the time I get home." "Have this finished by next Friday." Our schedule: start at nine (a.m.), do schoolwork, lunch, schoolwork, snack from three to four (while doing schoolwork), schoolwork to five, then chores -which should be done in half

      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..
