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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
