so, is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they are the ONLY person in the entire universe that has celiac disease!?? I mean...yah... you all have it (lol) but i mean like in "the real world" the people you meet in everyday life... (sigh)..... no one gets it... yesterday, this girl at my church ( trying so hard to be sweet!!)) said "i made some bread that you can have... it's called oat maple bread and it doesnt have WHOLE wheat flour..." i said.. wow, yah, thanks! :) um... i can't really have oats and i can't have any flour... she used bleached flour and thought it was okay.... :( anyways... so sometimes when i'm home alone, or even when i'm at a church potluck, but mostly when i'm home alone... i just want to tear into a loaf of great harvest honey whole wheat bread, ( i don't know why i buy it for my hubby-i torture myself!!!) anyways... i want to chuck the stupid "rice LOAF" that's so dense-and-hard-it-could-seriously-injure-someone-if-you-used-it-as-a-weapon, out the window and dump the soggy quinoa spiral noodles in the toilet where they belong and eat some good old top ramen! ai yai yai... i feel crazy sometimes, like this disease is not real and that if i believe that hard enough that i can go back to eating like a "normal person" i mean, i've been SOOOO stinkin good for SOOO long, it's been a while since i've had a bad reaction, and a few years since i've been constantly sick...i feel so healthy now!! :) i think i almost need to be glutened once in a while so i don't feel so deprived....anyhoo...so here i am home alone....barry left some cookies on the counter....RarrrRrr..

Sweetp,

try Kinnikinnick bread (www.kinnikinnick.com) for online ordering and Tinkyada noodles (taste like regular noodles)

I think all of us feel at times as if no one else has this disease. That is why we come here, there is comfort in numbers :)

sweetp-You need do dump the quinoa noodles. IMHO they are just nasty. Try tinkyada (I know I mispelled that) it tastes like real pasta and does not fall apart. I can not stand the rice loaf bread. I enjoy the Whole Foods bread toasted, I like Anna's bread from gluten evolution, and I tried Pamela's in my bread maker and that was good.

Sorry Barry left the cookies on the counter :( Make sure you have goodies for yourself for times like these.

Sorry to hear that you are going crazy...but glad to hear that I am not alone. It does get to be overwhelming sometimes...and depressing....and I must admit, I am tired of explaining for the zillionith time this darn diet and why I can't just cheat "a little". Right now the whole celiac thing is really getting to me... I am supposed to go to a banquet on Sunday night and am dreading it because it will be typical banquet food.... and then there will be all the questions from those around me as to why I can't eat this or that and why would just a little hurt....etc..... I need a constructive outlet for these frustrations.... I wish I could run away!

The first celiac conference I went to, the thing I was most excited about wasn't the educational value -- I was excited to physically see other people (outside immediate family) with celiac disease. There was something SO comforting about being in a room full of human beings who go through the same things as me every day. I just wanted to hug everybody.

is there a local support group in your area? I find that is one of the most helpful things for me is to get together with local Celiacs and enjoy each others company and good food!

I know - I am the only one, oh wait, my dental hygentist and her daughter have food issues but I see her once every 6 months and my mouth is full of her hands so I can't really chat back, but other than that, people just don't get it and there is only me.

I love this MB and would have issues without it.

I hear you. You should buy and make Manna from Anna bread. It is on the web. It is crusty chewy and yummy like a real loaf!!

I don't know about anybody else, but I feel now that I am aware of celiac and after a year and a half or so of eating a gluten-free diet it seems like more and more people I know are having digestive difficulties and exhibit signs and symptoms of celiac. Maybe it's just me though.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor. I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods re...

      heaps of hope!

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to bui...

Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.
