Oh wow, if you could get the recipe, you'd be my hero! The snow is great - we got another 8 inches or so today alone! It's wonderful and so peaceful looking outside. Plus, I don't have to go out in the snow. Tomorrow I am going to make chicken soup and try gluten free matzah balls! I'll have to plan a work trip out to Troy area sometime this year though to get some good eats!

Hi - I live in Holt and I have no idea what is going on with my body. Apparently any wheat, gluten, or sugar gives me migraines (new) and am being treated for a system fungal infection after two sinus surgeries, 5 trillion antibiotics, steroids, etc.

I can only eat chicken and rice products and raw vegetables - all this happened in the last 3 months.

So I don't know if I have celiac disease but I find this board very supportive. I purchase a lot of items from Kroger's health section and from the The Better Health Food store in Frandor. I also buy a lot of foods from amazon .com because I am trying to feed my 3 children organically to remove any additional chemicals because the point I am at is very frightening.

You could try www.unitedbuyingclubs.com to see if there is a co-op in your area. There are a lot of gluten and organic items. It saves about 20% on the items but you order by the case.

I hope you get answers soon.

I am in Michigan and newly diagnosed... I live in Ypsilanti.

I'll be in Ypsilanti, MI in a few weeks for a gymnastics competition at EMU... I'll be travelling with my team, any advice for eating gluten-free in the area would be appreciated!

Happy New Year!

Can you share your recipe for gluten free matzah balls in the chicken soup? I have never had them and they sound good.

Also, can you share some of your snow with us Michiganers?!

Thanks,

Becky

It's been a green Christmas, sorry no snow to share (although normally I'd love to get rid of it!!). Yesterday we played at the park with just light jackets on, it must have been 50 and sunny out!

Sure thing about the recipe, Becky. They're definitely NOT matzah balls, but I had some chicken soup this morning for breakfast and it wasn't bad. They definitely weren't my Bubbeh's matzah balls! As for sharing the snow, believe it or not, I read on our local NBC affiliate website that there is some woman auctioning off snow on ebay!. Here's to a wonderful, happy and healthy New Year to everyone!

Matzah balls (taken from Celiac. com's recipe area)

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons rendered chicken fat (*you can use plain oil, but it's not nearly as good. I think Empire Kosher rendered chicken fat is sold pre-frozen in tubs.) I tried to make homemade schmaltz (chicken fat) from the chicken from the soup!

4 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

Royal Oak, MI - diagnosed with celiac 1 month ago. I feel great since the diet change but still going through some trial and error with products that claim to be under 20ppm.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
