I Made My Own Ginger Ale Today

I made an infusion from fresh ginger, sweetened it, and added some to sparkling mineral water. This was SO good. Here's what I did.

diced some fresh ginger root (peel off the outer bark. cut thin slices, then cut them up in small pieces - maybe next time I'll try grating the ginger.) Ended up with about a tablespoon of ginger.

Dropped the ginger in about 1-1/2 cup of water that had come to a boil but was no longer boiling, and let it sit for about a half hour and then strained the ginger out of the water.

I sweetened the water with sugar and stevia - about 3 tsp of sugar and 1/8 tsp stevia.

I found the "tea" was strong enough that I could dilute it equal parts with more water.

Then, I poured about 1/4 cup of the undiulted ginger water into a glass and added mineral water for my own ginger ale.

Just wanted to share this with those of you who like ginger.

That sounds delicious!!! My mouth is watering.

I never know what to do with the rest of the ginger when I buy it for a recipe. This is what I'm going to do from now on.

Mmm...

What a great idea! I've made hot ginger tea many times when I wasn't feeling well, but never thought of making a cold drink with it. Since my favorite local ginger ale won't tell me if it's gluten-free, I'm especially grateful for the idea of making some hot stuff for myself!

Thanks,

Leah

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
