Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Still Not Symptom Free - Any Advice?

I have just been diagnosed with celiac disease. Positive blood test and Positive biopsy. Lucky me only minimal damage. I have been gluten free for 3 weeks now and have not had any changes in symptoms. My symptom is severe abdominal bloating 24 hrs a day and it is not any better. Does it take a long time for symptoms to go away.... Any advice????

Eatin Out

Since I am dating and date-able and date-licious, I do eat out a lot. I like Outback Steakhouse, like most others who go my way aka against the Grain, but I have also become adept at ordering sushi, Mexican food, and meat/potato or fish/rice dishes without getting glutened. I also sometimes eat B4 the date and just order a drink and ice cream while the dude chows down. My dates are usually pretty good about my food issues. I usually say, "I hate to sound high maintenance, but a year ago I fo

No Chipotle For Me

Well, I won that Chipotle Restaurant Gift Card, but.... I read up on that place here and then checked out their website and I guess they make things on a line (I've never been there) and they recommend that people with wheat allergies do not eat there. I guess I'll give the card away as an XMAS gift to someone. Oh well. Just got invited to New Orleans for December. Hmmm...my friend who lives there says dining options are mimimal at this point compared to most cities...but maybe Southern Hosp

Struck By The Glutenous Bolt Of Misery

Amy's Soup. I'd read about people reacting to it, but I had already bought it and some people are allergic to ingredients I am ok with. So I tried some one day and I was fine. Ate the rest the next day (potato leek?)yum. Then I had the tomato kind. I guess I'm just glad I get off work at 3, because I can go home and be glutenly grouchily greenily grumbly gross and grim all by myself. But the next two days I was feeling sluggish--- funny the theme for Just Say No Week at school was "Drugs mak

Cbs News Story On Celiac Disease

Yesterday my mom called me to tell me that Katie Couric was having a story on celiac! My stepdad told her he'd seen it. (I was impressed he recognized it as my deal.) So I watched it on TV and then I watched it again on cbs.com. It was great to see my "deal" get some recognition. I liked the little animation they showed of your body inside. I emailed a bravo to them. I agree with other postings that it made coping seem easier, like entire gluten-free stores are abound. My experience is tha

Mintie

It has been a difficult couple of days. First my husband had to go to the High Court to sort out the will his father had left in trust for him and his stepmother. It is a big long story, and it has gone on for quite long enough, about four years. So on Friday, it was all sorted out and both parties seem relatively happy. But it has cost quite a bit in the process, if only people would do what they should. So he has had his day in court.   We had to travel into Auckland, and as that is abou

I Guess This Means I Have To Do It Now....

Now that I'm going public, I guess I'm committed to doing an elimination diet!   I've been thinking of doing an elimination diet for a long time now, and thought it would be helpful to blog it - both for myself, and for others, as I know so many of us have issues with foods in addition to gluten.   A little bit about me and how I got to this stage.   As a child, I couldn't 'stomach' milk. I got depressed (although not really badly) quite often and had quite a few allergies. When I went to

Butta Finga

Hmmm. Did I see Butterfinger on a gluten-free list? I gotta investigate. Bought 2 at the store just in case. Lady at work is annoyed I'm thin and said, yeah, she (me)can't eat bread. I'm like, yeah, but that's ok because now I can eat bacon, donuts, bagels (gluten-free), ice cream, potato chips/dip and steak--all things I avoided when I was "normal" because I felt that junk was too bad for me. Now I eat it weekly because they are such a great way to balance all my crumbly, sticky gluten-fre

Dinner N Dancing

Hmmm. Going to El Torito tonight. Haven't been there since going "against the grain" or "wheatless". I like refried beans, rice, and chips and guacamole. Will probably get tamales or tacos with corn tortillas. I'm thinking cross contamination will be the big scare factor here. Only one way to find out. The scariest part is going dancing afterward. Maybe I'll put some stomach med. in the car just in case. I"ve had more energy lately, so I should be ready to shake my boo-tay. I ate s

Victory At El Torito

One word: Enchiladas! I had steak enchiladas and they were muy bien! I had no problemas getting my dance on afterward, either! I ordered normally but cautioned the waiter about being allergic to wheat and later he made a joke about how did I enjoy the flour tortillas. haha Whatever. It was cool. I defrosted berry pancakes for breakfast today (yum) and ate M&Ms, carrots, tuna w/mayo&dill, and potato chips for lunch, and for dinner I'm cooking pea soup and also baked apples from my glu

Tahini To Go

Signed up to bring an appetizer for a work luncheon. Wanted to bring cheese and sausage, but the sausage was not looking like it was going to be allowable for me. SO, I glanced over and saw some HUMMUS and realized I haven't had that in YEARS. So, I bought some bell peppers and there we go! Sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers with black olives and hummus! Sweet! However, I did not have the courage to slice them in the food processor, since I'm not totally adept at that tool yet- and

Work Pot Luck Luncheon For Boss' Day

The luncheon at work was easy. I ate fruit, a tamale, spanish rice,-- and the peppers with hummus that I brought. Not bad. The only thing that looked yummy that I couldn't have was the soup someone made and the brownies someone made. Not for me! Because I'm SSSSSPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least I happened upon the gluten-free brand name candy list on this site, so I raided the drugstore for candy that I thought was off limits before: Chunky bar, Trolli sour gummy worms, gummy li

The Risk Does Have A Reward!

Girls nite out dancing last night and the band was really cool. Now that my hair is long (had short hair a la Charlize and Dixie Chicks in my 20s and decided to grow it last Xmas when I turned 30) it's hot on the dance floor! I'm glad celiac hasn't inhibited my hair's ability to grow fast! I had one drink, a Jack Daniel's with Coke. But, I got tired! So sad that my bod tires before my tootsies! In 3 inch heels! I should have fake carb loaded b4 hand! My pal was dying to crash a reunion

Food Has Arrived

Got my order from celiac specialties. Xantham gum, graham cracker crumbs (I want to make a pie), powdered donuts, pumpernickel bread (first time I ordered this), and Dr.Schar's crackers (first time).   The pumpernickel is really good. Not as strong of a flavor as I remember the real kind from my gluten full days, but pretty good straight out of the bag. No toasting or thawing or anything required.   The donuts are good as usual. Haven't tried the crackers. May save them for my bday since I

Dna Tests, Anyone?

Even though I already know my children and I have celiac disease, I'm thinking about having a DNA test done on all of us. I think it will be helpful for my children to know where they and their future offspring stand with this disease and the possibilities of future generations inheriting it.   Here's the website for the lab I'm considering:   Open Original Shared Link

Back To Chicago For The Holidays

Got my plane ticket 4 the holidays. I got lucky last year and it was in the 40 degree range in Chicago area last Xmas! Probably won't get so lucky this year. Last year I was BRAND new to celiac and this is how I coped on my 10 day trip: There are LOTS of celiacs over there (as are there lots of Norske's and other Scandinavian peeps- I read somewhere that most celiacs are Northern European???). Anyway, there was a health food store 5 min. from my mom's suburbian home and we stocked up on waf

Cookin' Up Some Seafood 2nite!

[Turned on some music and got cookin! Pryed open fresh clams to make clam chowder and put the rest in with mussels and big fat shrimp to make Spanish Paella with the saffron rice. mmmmmmm I took a pic of it, even. Maybe it will motivate me to make it again soon.   I bought a can of chili and a can of pork and beans at the store since I'd seen them on the gluten free list, but then I forgot which brands they were supposed to be, but I bought them anyway and I'm only nervous about the part

Picture Time

I think it's time for more pictures! I got a new car in June. It's a BMW Z4. I had a Z3 for about 10 years that I sold...on www.craigslist.com , believe it or not. It sold the first week to the first person who contacted me. Wow. Anyway, here's my new car. Ain't it purty?! It has lots of cool features and I'm enjoying it very much. Well, crud. I can't get the picture smaller so the whole car is there. Oh well, this part is pretty enough. ETA: Well, I guess I got it too small. C

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

       

      "Vitamin D, as an immune modulator, is known to regulate immune response and maybe implicated in disease pathogenesis or susceptibility of celiac disease. Components of the immune system, such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and dendritic cells, are influenced by the regulatory effects of Vitamin D ... Increasing evidence also suggests that Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk and worsens the outcome of extraskeletal diseases such as cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease ... Previous studies have shown that vitamin D levels in the celiac disease group are negatively correlated with symptom severity, which means the lower the vitamin D levels, the more severe the symptoms of celiac disease patients. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with reduced expression of the Vitamin D receptor and epithelial barrier proteins E-cadherin and claudin-2. "  https://bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12887-024-04688-0#:~:text=However%2C celiac disease occurs only in,newly diagnosed celiac disease [19].
