Is All Wine Gluten Free?

I was wondering if someone could help me. I am still learning about the do's and don'ts of this disease and thought that all wine was gluten free. Last night I had two glasses of Yellow Tail chardonney and woke up at 12:30 AM in so much pain I actually vomitted. This is not the first time that I have had this reaction to wine. Can someone tell me if there are only specific types of wine I can drink? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Grocery Shopping As A gluten-free Dieter - The Bread Fiasco

I should have paid closer attention to posts on the message boards. Apparently, the Kroger that does sell bread by my boyfriend's house sells the Ener-G brand and nothing else. I was craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich last night (something which I used to absolutely hate, but now crave quite regularly), and decided to buy some gluten-free bread. I got the brown rice variety (they stocked tapioca and white rice, too), and when I got home and made my sandwich, I was slightly appalled. It w

The Support I'm Finding Is Amazing

It's getting easier. But then again, it's only the 3rd day. But having a completely gluten-free day yesterday, I realized how much better I felt. I wasn't as gassy during the day, I had more energy, and I wasn't rushing to the bathroom (well, I was, but that was because of all the coffee I drank, not because of something I ate!).   While I haven't been diagnosed as a Celiac, I'm beginning to think that I might be, based on the more I read and all the symptoms I fit (to be truthful, I was worri

Day One

I've never been good with diets. I get going strong for a few weeks, sometimes I've held out for a month or two, but then I fall back and go right back to all the foods I love. So, I've decided to ease into this one. There are still some foods in the house that I bought for me, which I will eat. But it will be so hard to give up some thing food I really adore - like bread, and pasta. And while I know that there are gluten-free forms of these delicious foods, it's still going to be really hard.

Chicken Nuggets

Latest find: Ian's Chicken Nuggets (at Henry's Market) YUM! I dip them in gluten-free bbq sauce Latest flub: bf talked me into buying gluten-free cookies and when I ate them, I couldn't believe how good they were...so much so that I became suspicious, and--they were the regular kind. They had been right next to the Gluten-Free kind and somehow I must've put the wrong ones in the cart. ugh. I waited anxiously for the impending doom, but it was mild, no gastro symptoms, only back and leg pain

No problems with my Starbucks frappuccino. Yeah! Now the question is...what was it that was causing my digestive upset?

Testing Starbucks

I'm a big fan of Starbuck's mocha drinks. My favs are toffee nut mocha frappuccino and when it's cold, I like to drink a cafe mocha from time to time. Hmmm, the last two times I had one, I noticed that I got really bad diarrhea within 12 hours of drinking them. I was beginning to wonder if they had gluten...or something that was making me sick...maybe too much lactose? Anyway, I decided to test it. I went for a week without any. All is well. So I had one a few hours ago and am fine so

My Poor Son!

I took both of my kids to the doctor the other day. I told her that my GI doctor highly suggested that I get them tested for Celiac since it is hereditary. I was thinking if either of my 2 boys were positive, it would be my youngest. My oldest son's tests were all within normal range. My youngest son's tests were: IGA 176 (Greater than 31 positive) IGG 107 (Greater than 31 positive) Endomysial titer 1:320 (Normal none detected to <1:10) TGG AB IGA 26.3 (Greater than 7 positive)   Wa

Going To The Hospital

Had my blood test done yesterday and cat scan because of some other complications. It turns out that I also have a bad case of Diverticulitos and they are admitted me to the hospital today. They gave me some antibiotics in hope that it would help with the massive pain and infection, but it has done nothing so they are admitting me. Hopefully it wont come to surgery, but at this point I wouldn't be suprised. I should know the results of the Celiac blood panel on Wed or Thur of next week. The Doct

Chowdah

It was my first trip to New England and I went to Boston, New Hampshire, and Maine. Aside from paddling kayaks (boy, am I still strong!), riding the subway, railroad train, ferries, and water taxis, kissing by lighthouses, getting Witchy in Salem, Mass., and generally being a tourist, I ate at several gluten free establishments recommended by someone on the site. The results were so-so. I ate at Legal Seafoods in the Boston Logan Airport and this was the BEST! They had gluten free menu and I

October 9, 2007 Hubby Goes In For Testing

hubby is getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy? so they can check for everything. He's been having trouble still and didn't heed their wheat-free advice a few years ago so he gets to go thru the process all over again.   I'm doing really well now. Got glutened on Sunday and went thru digestive hell all day but it's much better today. Yesterday I ate straight protein and vegetables and that is so much easier on my body. I even feel like I lost a little weight! I did have a protein shake th

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

We all have our secrets, some big some small, some we would like to share, and others we just want to hide away from. Bolts come out of the blue when least expected and can have the most profound effect on you. Sons are for keeps and sons keep me going, I would hate to think where I would be without my sons, all four of them. I would like to think we are close, but I would like to be closer. Life is pretty interesting and life can be tough, but life is what it is all about, and the streng

*sigh*

I'm sitting here, missing church because I have a cold. Not too much happened, though last night was a WHOLE other story. (note sarcasm) My mom went to her highschool reunion and i got to... Stay at my cousins house. So not much happened. But, I'm probably not going to post my entire life story on here as that would probably bore you to death. So I decided on poetry. Please comment and give me constructive critiism!   Rose   One may look at a simple rose, And see a flower there. I look at

well, I'm back after a very long summer and fall. Ok, it's technically still fall but it feels like it should be way past at this point. I was able to go on vacation for a couple of weeks. Went camping so it was easy to control diet. My problem came when we got home and son got an acting job 70 miles away. We traveled every day for two months and did a lot of eating out. Needless to say I've put on a little weight (although I had lost 20 this spring and summer and only gained 3 back) and

One Month Now

OK trying to be optomistic Ive been gluten free for 1 month straight now. My stomach pains have stayed the exact same. Headsches have decreased slightly. But starving constantly is worse than anything. I went to Sprouts and bought all the gluten-free foods they offer. My wallet is empty along with my belly. soooo is it worth it? yes yes it is. Ill keep at it, but Im getting tired of hunger

Getting Warmer

Life hasn't crumbled.   Summer is just around the corner.   My second son Andrew came home from Australia. He has adapted to my gluten free life quite well. He is a bit hesitant to eat what he perceives as my food, but I tell him to help himself, the only things he can't touch would be my tuna, bread and mueslis. The rest I eat is not typically marketed to be gluten free, but is gluten free non-the-less, so it is not expensive. The last thing I want to do is be a drain on our finances, so

Doctor Appointment Made

I just made an appointment for Thursday November 15th, of course they want a sit down first before they will test since I do not have a family doctor for referral. The good thing is, this doctor is the same doctor that diagnosed one of my wifes co-workers with it 10 years ago, so cross my fingers he knows what he is doing. I am sure he is going to want to know symptoms and such and then he will decide if I need tersted or not.   I have to be honest, I hope this is not it, I hope its something

The Beginning

Well, this being the beginning of this blog, and the beginning of this journey, I think it is fair to say I am a little nervous. The not knowing is probably the worst part. I am planning to go to a GI and get a full Celiac blood panel as those who I have spoke to have proposed. They say I should continue to eat normal food until I am tested for proper diagnosis. I guess I don

Need Info

I have had celiac disease for 2 years. Everything was going great until a few months ago when eating things like salad and veggies made me sick. My stomach is always bloated and I can only eat starchy food.   Has any one else had these type of symtoms??     Thanks

Crunchy, Chewy

Hooray for chewing! I'm off the soft- food- only diet! Immediately had the detective transport me to the fair and crunched up some corn on the cob, a PINK'S hot dog (bunless), and I wanted a caramel apple, but detective warned it's too crunchy and too chewy. Oh, well. Off prednasone and on 800 mg of ibuprofen, I got so dizzy at work. Now have to cut the pills in half so I can function. Here's what I ate today: Gluten free and not terribly crunchy:Yogurt diet lemonade drink bacon cheesebur

Hi.   I was diagnosed with celiacs about 5 years ago and have done the diet on and off for that time. I have been gluten-free for about a year straight now, and although I do feel better, things are not perfect. I am 21 and spent the last year eating dorm food which was always scary-you never know what exactly is in anything that is not already packaged and it's not like any of the kids serving you have any idea about allergies and what is in the food. I am currently living with 3 roommates w

Patio Repairs

I finally, finally got around to repairing my patio. I think I've got pics on this blog of the concrete patio that I painted a couple of years ago. This spring we had to have foundation repairs and the company that did it had to chop four holes in the patio. It was extremely annoying, but even more so because I asked them to be especially careful not to toss their tools around and chip the patio any more than they had to. Well, they totally ignored that plea. They chipped the paint and conc

      Hookwormed status report

      8 hours ago, miguel54b said:

      Thanks, I am desperate to find a cure too.

      I should add that hookworms aren't a cure for celiac disease. Some people, and I couldn't tell you how many, stop evincing the symptoms of celiac disease while their hookworm colonies are healthy. Others have a reduction in the severity of their reactions to gluten, but should still stay well away from it. And other people don't seem to be helped much at all.

      My theory all this is because of the different root genetics of the individual's celiac disease. My cousin is also celiac, and I'm highly confident he would be put in remission with hookworms like I was, but he has no desire to try them, so I'll never know if I was right.

      Hookwormed status report

      I was lucky (!) in that I would very quickly get sick after ingestion with something contaminated with gluten so it was easy to figure out the offender. I also had a very restricted diet and only ever introduced one new food item per day for this very reason.

      One memory that sticks out was pistachios. They put flour in the bag to stop the nuts sticking together. I never would have guessed that so I didn't check the ingredient list. Gluten in an antihistamine capsule was another memorable one.
