I'll Be A Vegan Celiac

[PeachBlossoms]

Hi,

I'm new here.

I have a family of Celiacs. I've never had the majority of severe symptoms that my relatives had. But I have always had mouthfuls of canker sores & peeling lips (and I dont have oral herpes/cold sores). I've also have brain fog and fuzziness. I am EXTREMELY CRANKY ALL THE TIME. My boyfriend calls me "Crankies."

I've decided I'll try a gluten-free diet for awhile. I'm not too thrilled . I'm already a dedicated vegetarian/vegan (a vegan who frequently falls off the wagon and samples tidbits of cheese here and there .

I've read there are many other Vegan Celiacs out there (they have blogs online), although they are harder to find. I'll make potatoes and rice my staple foods instead of wheat. I already eat a lot of Japanese sushi and Indian foods here in the city, so the change shouldn't be THAT hard.

They found that I was "wheat sensitive" as a child... so I'll see if any of my crankiness, canker sores or peeling lips go away after several months on this diet.

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

Hey Crankies...LoL,

Good luck with the gluten-free diet. It's not that hard once you get going. You have to be carefull for CC. I'd also check the sushi and Indian food. Soya sauce is a big No No and so are alot of spices in indian food. Check and read ingredients carefully.

Good luck

Hi -- and welcome.

I'm a newbie too. Just diagnosed with celiac disease 6 days ago!! I"m also a dedicated vegetarian (I hope to transition to veganism, but one thing at a time). I"m feeling a bit lost since I have relied on faux meats and texturized vegetable protein for some time now, but I'm pretty sure we can figure it out.

GOOD LUCK
