Exit Strategy - Eating Out

Celiacs Need An Exit Strategy. Eating is a very social activity. It plays an important role in cultures word wide. Did you know that Polynesians are more private about dining than about sex? Last week I listened to one of those provocative obnoxious radio talk show hosts that demonized those who have special diet requirements. He said we should just eat what's being served or stay at home. I let the station manager know how I felt about that! We will not allow our Celiac diagnosis to turn us

A Healing Kitchen

December 21, 2007 (shortest day of the year) Celiac Disease and the requirement for commitment to a long term restricted way of eating seemed like the end of the world but it quickly became a whole new beginning (When you love to eat you don't swallow defeat easily) I never imagined giving up many sugars and starches would turn me into a fast and imaginative cook, or find me sharing this "mandatory hobby" with thousands of others. I vowed to use my imagination to beat celiac disease and ch

Attitude Counts

Your approach, attitude and degree of personal commitment to lifelong dietary restrictions is so important. You can make protecting your intestinal health a positive and creative experience rather than getting mired in regret or resentment over having to sacrifice certain foods. I have always viewed my diet as the glass more than half full and made every effort to maximize the appeal of permitted food. think my diet is fun and am not ashamed to say so! The most difficult

Heal Gut With Slippery Elm And Marshmallow Root

Hi,   I am new to this site. But as I wait for my organic chicken to bake for a Thanksgiving feed with my boyfriend I thought I'd start this blog.   I have found that herbs and other supplements have helped heal a great many of my symptoms along with of course avoiding all gluten. Given my apparent success at healing myself, I have been invited to speak at the Santa Cruz, CA celiac support group. It was suggested there that I start a blog. How easy can this get?   I am hopeful that this t

Maybe I Really Am Crazy

Just re-read a couple of posts I'd made earlier on the board. Geeze! Yeah, that's me who wrote them, but still. I sound like an utter looney! I've always been a bit "off" (its part of my charm), but recently I've a little more off than usual. No.... scratch that. A LOT more off.   I used to be an upbeat, logical, reasonable person capable of handling things in a patient and straightforward manner. People would even come to me for advice, not because it was necessarily good, but because

I'm Starving And Afraid To Eat Anything! Gah!

Every time I turn around, some new health thing pops up and new dietary restrictions come into play. First, it was the thyroid and avoiding goitrogens like unfermented soy and raw cruciferous veggies. Then it was the elimination diet and having to avoid gluten, dairy, corn and refined sugar due to reactions. Ok, fine. I can deal with that.   Spent 4 hours in the ER yesterday due to having abdominal pain for 6 days straight. They didn't find anything, of course. Just said to follow up wit

GREAT GF eating in Toronto

IL FORNELLO -  It's a chain in Canada, and it's amazing in what they offer. Was in Toronto this Spring for 5 days, and ate there 4 times. Delicious gourmet GF PIZZA (see pic) - thin crust, cooked in the stone pizza oven on A SEPARATE PAN. (the rest of the pizzas go straight on the stone.) It was delicious. They say they have a steady stream of celiac customers. I can't remember, I dont think it was a separate menu, but rather a notation that all pasta and pizza items can be made GF.. Anyhow, gre

Frozen goods: AMY's 'gluten-free' pizza...not gluten-free for me

Hi, So, just putting this user experience out there and asking for your feedback. I have often gotten Amy's gluten free pizza (the plain rice crust/ Cheese one), and have gotten sick every time. (sick meaning: inflated, swollen, etc, followed by all the 'afterness' later.) I confirmed with someone else (they actually bought it up first), that they cant have this brand either. They only tried the Spinach/Soy cheese flavor (which I LOVED, but questioned it too). It can be observed that there is a

Possibly heading to China...what to eat?

Just a short note and request for suggestions; I've heard to stay away from brown sauces (could contain soy sauce), but that the 'white sauce' is ok. Other than certain dim sum...I'm guessing the steamed rice noodle wrapped shrimp dumplings (not the more yellow (flour) noodle wrapped shu mai) and egg 'pancakes' with peas and sausage. (no bread) Is anyone familiar with either eating in China, or of types of food I would be able to find? Are they big on grilled meats?

Alcohol and Celiac Disease

Single white female seeks alcohol during social hours that won't irritate, humiliate, or disrespect my small intestine. I know the big "no no's" - gin, whiskey, beer or anything fermented from grain, hops, barley. I miss my black and tan's at the local Irish-type pub but still love my cosmos. Any advice on the affects of vodka, rum, mixed drinks in general? Or should I just give up the ghost when it comes to happy hour and stick with club soda and lime?

What To Eat/

So apparently I've had Celiac since I was about four or five. That's when I began to show the symptoms anyway. Since then I was generally healthy but would get sick and be in and out of school. Now I know I was living with all of the side effects from the nausea, digestive pain, delayed growth, tooth decay, dizzy spells, constant infections, brain fog etc... I was tested for anemia and mono in HS but both came up neg. It was not until I moved to College that my extreme weight loss and fatigue b

Hawaii Bound

My first child has flown the nest. She is moving to Hawaii. I drove with her to California so that she could ship her car from there. Then I flew home by myself. I can't go in her room yet. I know it was past time for her to go, but it still hurts.

No Harina, Por Favor

Boyfriend sends text message to me at work last (rainy)Friday: //Do you have a valid passport and can you get Monday off work?// So, we fly to Cancun that night and have a great time! (His bday weekend) We crammed snorkeling, zip-line riding over the jungle canopy (I'd seen it on the travel channel and was dying to do it), rappeling, bicycling, kayaking, hiking, Mayan ruins, etc. all in one weekend with a long flight from CA to the Carribean! Mexico is SO easy to eat gluten free! I ate lobst

Getting Started

I would like to thank Scott for the opportunity to create a blog on Celiac.com. I am a mother of three very small and rambunctious boys, the oldest of which (5) suffers from wheat and corn allergies, the delayed intolerance kind. He developed a tic disorder after his preschool vaccinations last fall and the symptoms gradually worsened over the next six months. We had all kinds of tests done and visited many doctors before we finally had allergy testing done. This was when we discovered the root

Does Celiac Cause Sensitivites To Rx's?

Has anyone out there found a link with celiac and allergy-type reactions to various medications? e.g., I take hormone replacement meds since losing my thyroid to cancer. I can only tolerate a tiny dose because my body reacts like I'm allergic to the medication. I've checked and double checked - there is no gluten in any of the fillers/binders. I also find I cannot tolerate antibiotics and a variety of other medications, e.g., severe allergic reactions to Vicodin. Would love to hear from you

Doctor Issues...

For the past three years, I've been having weird breakouts on my elbows. Some medical professionals told me that it was most likely a skin reaction, and not to worry about it unless it spread. This August I noticed it on my knees as well. This started my doctor chain. I first visited my family doctor, who sent me to an allergist. I went in for a scratch test, but nothing reacted like my breakouts (I did find out that I am mildly allergic to grass and dog dander, but can still have a dog). After

Gators, Taters, And More

No fried alligator for me! I really did want to try it, even tho it probably tastes just like chicken! My mother and I cooked our own Thanksgiving for Two. She was upset that I said I hate Thanksgiving. My brother is allergic to poultry, so it's not like I'm the only one who doesn't like this holiday. So we made it "our" way. We loved it. My mom didn't have ANY bread! She ate a gluten-free muffin Kinnickick Frozen blueberry- and she liked it. She couldn't believe the texture was so

I Had A Sammich Today! :)

Ever since Thanksgiving, I've had a mad craving for turkey sandwiches. Not just any old craving. A MAD craving.   One of the local grocery stores carries both Kinnickinnick and Glutino breads! Woot! Lightly toasted two pieces, added some thinly sliced leftover turkey, a little salt and pepper, and (ok I cheated on the sugar) some cranberry sauce. Left off the usual slathering of mayo because I'm trying to watch my fat intake.   Ooooooh! It was goooood! I ate it all up!   Not goin

New To The Gluten-free World

Hello! On Monday, my 3.5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease . . . and so we are new to the Gluten-free world. This has been an overwhelming week for our family, but each day seems a little more manageable since I am beginning to learn all about the Gluten-free diet. Any "beginners" info, advice or comments would be welcomed. Will it be easy for her as she grows? Do you know of any lunch meat or hot dog brands she could have? Any restaurants where she will be able to eat?

      Dixonpete, I thought of you when I saw this article, although it may not have anything new for you.

      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..
