I'm Too Lazy To Think Of A Good Title =p
Ahh, finally first good day after my freakin' sinus surgery. My stomach's upset (no one than usually), 'side from that, I'm pretty good. I have a second post-op visit with the doctor who did my sinus surgery at Vandy this Tuesday. Hopefully, he'll release me so I can finally start exercising again. It gets pretty boring takin' it easy. I've also started back drawing again, if I get a decent digital camera, I'll post my artwork. Soon, I'm going to be looking into a place I can practice Yoga in mPotholes And Misdirections
I am usually a tolerant person, but since I have discovered an intolerance, I am thinking maybe I should act the part. This is going back a little time and it is a real rant. When first diagnosed with coeliac I had felt like I am on my own with this. The forums have been great, but we are all such different people with so many different needs, it is hard to get the exact course to take with anybody. It is a lot of trial and error. But you have all reinforced in me, that I am not going crIt Told Me I Forgot To Put The Title In
Interesting day to say the least. Morning same as usual at work. Was told by an informed man this morning, that a woman needs one man who can do many things, yet a man needs many women who can do one thing. Is it true? I always thought that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. He did not quite agree with me there, maybe I have got it all wrong. So roll on this afternoon, we had the kind of afternoon that nightmares are made from. We had those dreaded nit checks that our schooAnother Day At The Office
14 June, 2006 The diarrhoea is back. It had gone for nearly two weeks, after being nearly a daily occurrence for a month. I know where it came from, but I was so hungry a couple of nights back, I just had to have fries! I had been to a meeting, everyone at home was hungry, it was late and I just had to eat! Within an hour, I knew I had done it. I will have to make sure that I have a little snack in the afternoon, just so I don’t get that horrible hunger. Being winter it will be a battle.Boring Day
It is so cold today, as if the wind has come straight off the mountains. So much for our winterless north, it is just a myth. Mum and dad down south are experiencing blizzard like conditions and we up here nearly got blown away yesterday. There was major weather and power woes all over the country, and Auckland moaned the most, as usual. We woke early this morning, 5.30 and were all ready to walk the dog Poppy, but it was raining, so we gave that a miss. We were a bit wimpy. I made surEating Out
I was so excited to discover that our local Thai restaurant, Samui Thai, is almost completely gluten-free. It's my new favorite place Open Original Shared Link We went there on Mother's Day and took my parents. There were six of us and four of us have celiac disease. Everything breaded was gluten-free, even the fried calamari! YUM! As far as I could tell, only things with soy sauce in them had gluten and they offered to make anything we wanted without soy sauce. It was wonderfuSkipped A Day Already!
Since I write this from work, sometimes life gets in the way. And I was very busy yesterday. Yesterday, I felt even better - just more positive. Whether it is a psychosomatic thing, or not, I FEEL better, and it's only day two (three if you count today). My attitude at work is better, I am generally more laid back and less irritable. We made some Hamburger helper item last night for dinner: Mrs. Leeper's beef Stroganoff. Actually, I think our's was the Lasagna one. It was prettyFirst Post Of In The Beginning...
I thought perhaps I would create a blog that goes from Day one of wheat free to infinity. So let me clear up a few things from the outset about the condition I'm in: I have started the wheat-free on May 22, 2006. This will be my first day of wheat-free living, all day. I am not diagnosed a celiac. I may approach my doctor to do so, but as I have gone on a WF/gluten-free diet, this may not result in much. I have been diagnosed as having a wheat allergy - which is my initial reason forLate Nite Bbq
I made a fabulous BBQ last night. My dad was sent to the hospital (turns out he's fine) but when I'm nervous I tend to cook. At work the other day they made BBQ sandwiches in the cafeteria, and of course I can't eat them... so I had been craving them. I found a recipe by Emeril and then improvised and modified to make it my own yummy creation.Feelin' Down Today
I was sitting at work today watching my co-workers chow down on yummy pumpkin muffins for breakfast, and pizza for lunch (free from supervisors)... and I had to excuse myself to go cry. Some days, I just don't know how to handle things. I think... "why me?" Even though I realize I am not alone, and I certainly don't want to end up on my death bed by 45... it's very difficult for me to handle. I am trying to focus on the positive side of things. I am very lucky that I discovered this in myMore Gluten Sensitive Than Ever
This is quite upsetting. The longer I'm on the gluten-free diet, the more sensitive I'm getting. Is it because my system is no longer accustomed to compensating for the gluten influx, or is it just the progression of the disease? I guess I'll never know since I discovered my celiac disease before I suffered many symptoms. Within the past several months I've noticed that when I get glutened my stomache starts to rumble shortly after I've eaten and then it's off to the toilet for me. INew Dna Test Results
Whew! I got here just in time to save my blog from dropping to the second page. So...I've been telling my mom, who has had all kinds of intestinal problems and other celiac symptoms for years, that I think she has celiac disease. It stands to reason, does it not, that she would have it since two of her four children are confirmed CDers and one other has loads of symptoms, but hasn't been diagnosed? She got tested last year with a blood test and her doctor said she didn't have it. IBlood Tests
Well, I went to to the doc Thursday, got the blood tests on Friday. The lab said it would be 3 to 5 days before the tests were back. Hopefully they run the right tests. I went in, turned in my paperwork ect, and then they said "I'm sorry, it will just be a few minutes. We have to make some phone calls regarding your tests." Immediately I'm thinking "Oh great! Am I the only person on the planet who has ever requested this test?" Well, come to find out, from listening in on the phone conveWent To The Doctor Today!
I went to see my GP today. She was very understanding, although I could not tell if she was being true or just pretending. Most importantly, she agreed to run the tests for celiac, along with a slew of other tests. She also referred me to a gastro (my insurance requires a referral) and gave me a prescription for the DH. She said that the rash could be "fungal", to which I answer, fungal infections don't last 10 years! She did admit that until we get the results of the blood test back, fBad Day #3
My name is Melisa. I am 25, married, and have two beautiful daughters, one 5, one 3. I am a fulltime dietetics student and a classically trained chef. Although I have not been dx'd yet, I have been suffering from celiac for 10 years. It was mild for the first 5, but the past 5 years it has been out of control and ruling my life. Since it was only recently that I put the pieces of the puzzle together to come to the conclusion of celiac, I hope to document my symptoms, feelings, ect daily. T*groans*
My problems are starting to scare me. I keep getting worse quickly enough that I swear by the time I actually get the answer to what it is I am going to fall over dead...April 10, 2006
Wow, time has gone fast. I had no idea it had been so long since my last entry. Diet has not gone well this month. I've had some side effects of prednisone and I felt terrible and didn't really care what I ate. I'm paying for it now. I'm off prednisone now and my appetite has all but vanished. It's all I can do to eat one meal a day. Yesterday that's all I did. Because of eating gluten, my joints are horribly stiff, sore and swollen. I just keep going in a circle, I do well, get tPain, My New Favourite Word*rolls Eyes*
Yeah i feel like whining about the pain in here, too. I dont know why I even have this blog, but all I can add (so I dont forget) is that its been 52 days that I have been sick and getting worse...March 03, 2006
uncle had massive heart attack today..his daughter is one of the cousins who found the celiac in the family. wonder if his heart attack was from years of damage to his system. he's not that old. my rheumy appt. went much better yesterday. he still refuses to believe that diet has anything to do with it but I know better lots of vegetables and fruits lately have been good for me.My Celiac Story

29 minutes ago, RMJ said:Dixonpete, I thought of you when I saw this article, although it may not have anything new for you.
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..
