    A New Language...

    By pchick,

    Being this is my first blog entry here, I'd like to give a bit of my history so as to explain how I got here in the first place.
     
    I'm 40 now, and was just diagnosed Gluten Intolerant by my naturopath from stool samples, and bloodwork. Then I came right home and started my own research... that is how I found this space. I'm not sure if I'm a true "celiac", but I was told I was born with this.
     
    That makes sense to me too... as a kid, I was ALWAYS nauseas w...

    I broke down and charged a new air conditioner yesterday. I was too hot, and I'm just a wimp... I swear, the heat makes me a different person. We put it in our daughter's room and put all the fish tanks in there (otherwise we'd have fish soup!) so now we have one room nice and cool to sit in when necessary. Plus it's keeping the whole house a little cooler (95 inside 104 outside).
    Sorry ~ this may not be the place to write about the heat... but it turns very physical...

    Actual Results

    By pchick,

    Hello Blogland....
    After a bunch of self research, I asked my doctor for copies of my test results so I can see exactly what he meant by "gluten intolerance". When I looked at the numbers I was VERY confused because it said my Gliadin SIgA was 7 Negative. I immediately posted a question and Korwyn from this forum responded saying that since my total IgA Serum is extremely low, it will affect the Gliadin number and may not be correct.
    So I guess that's good ~ for...

    I've been reading online and on this forum about cross contamination and I'm wondering how serious I have to take this. I haven't been gluten free long enough to know if having flour in my kitchen is going to be hazardous. You see, my husband loves to bake ~ pies especially. Now I have very good will power because I really want to get better... so they are not tempting for me to be around... I won't eat any. But I'm curious if I could get "glutened" by being in the kitchen...

    Crazy Heat

    By pchick,

    It's 12:30am and my house is down to 89 after a day of record highs (106) in Portland today. My husband is tired of hearing me complain. The heat really zaps me, and my feet are so swollen they hurt to walk on. It's making me super emotional, and I've been breaking down crying off and on all day today.
    Not so good at cooking when it's so hot, so I didn't eat much today and so I'm feeling a little woozy right now... and of course, I don't think I have anything in the...
