5 - Emotional Stuff

I'm frustrated. I bought gluten free corn bread mix. . .made gluten free corn bread - and got glutted. I hurt. **Grrrr.**   Last year they diagnosed me with a form of dystrophy - put me on all sorts of drugs, steroids - did all sorts of medical procedures. . .just to finally figure out I was misdiagnosed AGAIN. This year. . . grief, I'm getting to be afraid of the New Years. What next?   Sigh.   I so don't feel good.   I ordered a few Celiac books off of Amazon tonight. Mayb

Petition to FDA to Disclose Barley and Rye Ingredients on Food Labels

Hi All, Back in September of 2008, I submitted a petition to FDA to include rye and barley in the list of most common allergens which must be disclosed on packaging. Right now, only wheat has to be disclosed, but as we all know the gluten of rye and barley is just as offensive to celiacs as that of wheat. So to include wheat in the list, without including rye and barley was nonsensical. The list needs to be amended so that rye and barley sources are also disclosed. Without this disclosure, suc

I'm tired. If I could go to bed right now, I would in a heartbeat. Sigh. I'll be glad when the fatigue begins to lift. My brain has too much energy for my body to be in slow-mo.   I picked up a grinder today. . .actually two, because I don't know which one will work better. One will have to go back. . . or not. . . if I can talk my husband into the fact that we neeeeeeed a new coffee grinder, any way. Unfortunately, I think THAT's the grinder that will work the best, so the other one

Peroxide wont work. Peroxide is what they use to bleach flour to make it white flour. It doesn't effect the gluten.   dernit.

2 - Cleaning Up Gluten Spills

I've been thinking about converting my kitchen into a gluten-free kitchen - especially after yesterday **rolls eyes** - running to the bathroom all morning when I'd MUCH rather be at church is not my idea of how to spend a Sunday morning. Nope. **shakes head**   I had an apple for dinner last night. I need to lose 50 lbs (now 43) from last year's misdiagnosis fiasco. . . but still, I'd rather lose the weight in a healthy way. This isn't it. I've lost seven pounds in the last two days.

I went to my neighbor's house this morning to gab a bit before we went to the flea market. I was offered a cup of coffee, and politely turned it down. It was flavored coffee - and I just really didn't want to go into their kitchen and study the ingredients. I drank a glass of water and enjoyed the conversation.   Then we went to the flea market. I'm a whole three days old of thinking about what goes into my mouth. I haven't read labels in years. I figured a soda would be fine if it was c

Steve's Pizza

I just have to share; Steve's Pizza is now making Gluten Free PIZZA!!!! I had it last night for dinner, from the El Dorado Restaurant, and it was the BEST pizza I have ever had!!! Even my hubby (who does not have Celiac) ate it and he said it tasted like "normal" pizza!   Right now they only offer a Medium ( 12" ) size Gluten Free Pizza. But they are hoping to expand their sizes into the 8", 10", and 16" in the future. AND in the coming months they will be adding additional Gluten Free pr

Protecting Yourself in Travel

First let me thank those of you who have responded to my blog! This is my first and only blog attempt and to find out that people are reading it is really quite exhilarating! The advice is quite welcome and interesting as well. I am currently in the UK and doing better on this trip than I have on any other travel in recent past. As an erstwhile traveler with 27 countries in my travelogue, I was very unhappy to experience serious outbreaks on my recent trips. My worst experience was in Chi

Gluten Free Beer

I have been invited to a group dinner out at a local restaurant. It's BYOB, and friends have announced they are bringing beer. Not wanting to be the odd one out, I decided I must obtain and bring gluten-free beer. So today I called 4 grocery stores and 10 liquor stores in an attempt to find gluten-free beer. I finally located multiple brands of it at Roots Market in Olney, Maryland, and Redbridge beer at Dugan's liquors in Pikesville, Maryland, as well as at Your Wine & Spirit Shoppe south o

Please Advise

Hello, This is my first time posting. I was recently tested for Celiac and the results were positive for the genes but negative for the antibodies. My doctor said I need to be off gluten for 6 months before the titers of antibodies fall. I discovered I might be gluten intolerant after going on an elimination diet. So, when I was tested I had been gluten free for about 6 weeks. I have been incredibly strict - cook only from scratch - veggies, rice etc. Is it possible my titers have fallen and t

Newcomer

So, I'm new here and I don't really know if there's something specific I'm supposed to be writing about. But since it's my blog I guess it doesn't matter. Pretty much every day for the last 5 years has been a struggle of me binge eating gluten and then feeling guilty about it. I've started to plan out what I'm going to do so that I can avoid eating gluten. My biggest hurdle right now is actually packing a lunch when I go to work, because they make our food there (we eat what the residents eat) a

Dizzying Disclaimers!

There's a lot of talk about how gluten molecules cannot enter into the skin. But I definitely have a reaction to gluten-containing products. I have done my best this past year to avoid those things and have been good. But today has been a frustrating day. Why is it that some foods claim to be gluten-free but yet, I suddenly fall asleep and wake up dizzy? Then I go back to check the food packages only to find that little disclaimer that says "this product was processed in a wheat facility".

Hibachi Food and Hidden Gluten Hazards (How to Celebrate Gluten-Free)

I recently celebrated my 22nd birthday at a Japanese hibachi restaurant. Knowing that the food would be cooked in front of me I felt safe that I would not get sick. I have been to this sort of restaurant before and it was a success. I am very careful when it comes to ordering Japanese or Chinese food because teriyaki sauce and soy sauce contain gluten. Something went wrong on this Tuesday night. I was with about 15 of my closest friends, and the chef was very entertaining. I was so excited and

Locks Of Love

Got a haircut yesterday. About ten inches were donated to Locks of Love. That's about the third time I've done it. The first time I donated somewhere around 17 inches and still had around 8-10 inches left. The other time I donated around...10 inches. It's really fun and it's better than just a plain haircut because you help out others who have lost hair from cancer or other diseases. (Open Original Shared Link).

Newly Self Diagnosed

I have come to the conclusion that I am Gluten Intolerant. I am 34 (as of yesterday) and the big wakeup call has been joint pain and hand pain, my hands ache, fingers hurt in the morning? Is this right, does anyone else have this? I feel like I am in my 90's some mornings. I have IBS all that good stuff but the more I looked into Gluten the more I think that is what it is. I have been doing the gluten free thing for a little over a week now and I was feeling a little better as far as stomach i

Benadryl

One thing I noticed during one of my many stays in the hospital was that when I was given IV benadryl along with my other meds, is that it seemed to help reduce my symptoms even more than without it. So I googled and googled but couldn't find any info. I then went to Benadryl's FAQ web page it states that the OTHER uses for it is as an antispasmatic as well as for a sleep aid, and nausia. Also it stated that even though it doesn't contain gluten there is a chance for cross contamination (pill

Not Gonna Take It

First I would like to take a moment to tell you that this isn't a complaint. This is me taking a stand. I have been living with what my bf calls Zodiac disease, AKA Celiac Disease, for about 4 years now. This has been a difficult process, and at times still is. I find myself fighting back the tears, as I have to get used to the idea of connivance and availability. But I WILL not take the total lack of taste and affordability! This is disgusting! The prices on this web site are out of this world.

Managing Hives & Gluten Allergies

I have a celiac-related condition that causes severe gluten sensitivity and hives. Two weeks ago, I visited a Naturopathic doctor. She and I talked for nearly three hours. It was a very good meeting where I shared my past physical issues and she took copious notes. When I had finished with my history she told me that my liver was having a hard time detoxifying my blood and that my constant hives were due to the body trying to detoxify through my skin. This was all very interesting but not very
