Day 9 of gluten-free

I'm progressing nicely, but still hitting bumps along the way. Last night I went to a Japanese steakhouse and thought I made great choices until it dawned on me this morning that imitation crabmeat has wheat in it as a binder. I also tried a bite of seaweed salad and enjoyed every flavor until I realized it had soy sauce in the dressing. The rice paper was a nice alternative to a traditional wonton type wrapper. At the very least, a hard cider to drink was a safe move in the area of alcoholic be

Day 7 of gluten-free

Here I am a week into this lifestyle change and hoping I am on the right track. In general my digestive system feels better, but I seem to be constantly finding gluten hidden in things I wouldn't think of. Yesterday's discovery happened while reading the ingredients to an Italian dressing packet. I wouldn't have guessed that it would have wheat in it. Other learning curves are happening as I study labels, noticing where they clearly state "gluten free" and where I am left questioning the fo

Day 2 of gluten-free

A couple of weeks ago I received confirmation of what I had suspected for quite some time... I have celiac disease. Feeling that wheat doesn't digest well is different then knowing that it doesn't digest well. The formal confirmation is still sinking in... At first I was resistant and continued to eat wheat on occasion. I then became determined to give the gluten-free way of life a try in hopes that I would feel better. I then spent several days limiting my gluten intake all day to only cra

Steps for Recovery

This is a personal note to myself on things to remember next time and things to consider. If unsure of exposure take glidenX next few meals, blend and nima test samples of ingredients used to see if it was something you fixed. THOW AWAY that tooth brush....you brushed after getting glutened...your brush is contaminated.... MAKE SURE to add a extra 2 tsp of Liquid Health Energy& Stress and Neurological support between standard dosing, this will help with anxiety and suicidal th

So stressed?

Hey ,I just found out that I have celiac and that I have to go on a gluten free  diet. The bad thing about this is that I’m a really picky eater and I’m scared and stressed about how this will effect my life?

July Update

SO it started off and has been very rough these past few weeks. I kept having issues finding a new car, found one much cheaper and I just have to wait 2 weeks for it. The Food Truck, working on getting a new LLC corporation filed for the truck then I can apply for offical financing. My initial inquires for financing were ignored or denied as the new venture did not have its own LLC and a bank account yet, and lending to a individual or a different business....well just looks bad on boo

Corn Conundrum

So I am allergic to corn...in a odd way. Corn starch, corn flour, corn syrup, corn oil will give me blood blister in my mouth and a 99-103F fever. Skin contact will cause a red sunburn looking rash that if not washed will start getting more like poison ivy.... Some derivatives from corn do not bother me, xylitol, erythritol, fibersol, etc. I used to think citric acid and xantham gum from corn were in this line up as they failed to give me the mouth blisters but apparently it has other effect

Olive Oil, Celiac, Sales, Life

Well I made a amazing discovery about my olive allergy....its not olives. I got some olive oil on 2 occasions in the past year, that upon putting it on my finger and licking it my mouth goes numb and my cheeks, tongue and throat swell followed by vomiting. I have had some vegan cheese, and some sauces with "olive oil" that doe not do this. I recently got some really high end olive oil with truffle oils in it.....no reaction, I can swish it even and NO reaction.....I think they are cutting

      My heart goes out to you!   

      You're not alone.  I have gone through a similar situation.  Doctors are not well educated about nutrition and rarely connect endometriosis (or any disease) with nutritional deficiencies caused by the malabsorption that occurs with Celiac Disease.  

      Inflammation and the autoimmune response to gluten damages the villi in the intestines resulting in poor absorption of essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need for proper functioning.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies is of the utmost importance to recovery.

      Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 has been shown to be commonly found in women with endometriosis.  Deficiencies in Riboflavin B 2 and Pyridoxine B 6 have also been found, along with low Vitamin C, low Vitamin D, and low Vitamin A.  

      Do discuss supplementation with essential vitamins and minerals with your dietician and doctor.  A bioactive B Complex,  Vitamins D and A, and minerals like zinc, magnesium and calcium usually need to be supplemented.  Restoring Thiamine levels with Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing) will help you feel better in a short time.
