About Me

I am a fun-loving, strange kind of girl. I have two kids, I am married. I was told I may have Celiac Disease last month, however I could not afford the testing required to confirm. Instead of continuing being sick just for a test, I decided to start removing gluten, dairy and a few other ingredients from my diet, and, while I still have occasional bouts of yuckiness I feel so much better on my new diet.

Over the last few years I have alsoo discovered I have problems with soy and eggs. The problem is that my worst four assaulters are also in almost ANY premade food.

Luckily I LOVE to cook, and experiment in my cooking. Having these bad reactions to food is like a challenge to me, a new adventure! I get to experiment with all sorts of cool flavors, and new items that I never knew exhisted before!

I must admit, I was scared, depressed and frustrated at first, but now I am ready to open this new chapter in my life with as much joy as I had before I knew I had gluten problems.

  1. I love your attitude and so young! My first thoughts when dx was, thank god it's not cancer, food I can do!!

  2. I have not been tested for Celiac Disease, for many reasons. I am the only one currently working, and I do not have insurance. I had already been tested for lots of other "more immediate" things (thindgs that could hospitalize me). I wa spending so much money on myself, I couldn't bare it anymore. My doctor suggested it may be Celiac Disease, and told me...
  3. I have completely taken gluten, dairy, eggs and soy out of my diet after a "You may have Celiac Disease" diagnosis. Let me tell you, I feel MUCH better since then. Most of my problems have all but completely vanished. The problem is that my husband doesn't have gluten problems, and my kids are not diagnosed with having them either. My husband LOVES premade...
  4. I have been gluten free for a little while now, but I still am getting a rash on my hands and knees. Does the DH rash ever go all the way away? Or is it that I may not be totally Gluten Free yet?
  5. I am going to try it tonight!
  6. Yup, I am intollerant to all the good comfort food stuff (you know, all the things that Thanksgiving is about): Gluten, Dairy, eggs and soy. It was sad for me at first. I am Itallian, I love pasta and cheese. Darn.
  7. WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!!! Thanks!
  8. My family has been making this recipe for years. I am trying to adapt it to my new needs before Thanksgiving this year. First of all... the pumpkin. Choose small pumpkins which are raised specifically for eating, they have a better flavor. You can also use any kind of winter squash, and a blend of 2 or 3 different ones is very tasty! Wash the raw fruit...
  9. Ah, good idea! I am fairly new to this site, and I am still finding all the goodies in the nooks and crannies. I must say, that out of all the celiac sites, this one is my favorite. There is SO much information on it!
  10. I have an AMAZING pumpkin pie family recipe which calls for Evaporated Milk. Does anyone know a good substitute for this? One of my major food intollerances is dairy, and being that this is my first gluten-free Thanksgiving, I need to do some experimenting now before I have guests around my table.
  11. This is the pumpkin pie/custard recipe that my family has used for years (don
  12. I still LOVE to cook, and share my talent for cooking with others. You shouldn't look at it as losing something you love, but as a new challenge. Through trial and error I have discovered some GREAT recipes for gluten free pizza, breads, brownies etc. I discovered that I relied heavily on cheese and grains before (I am itallian) to make tasty recipes. Now...
  13. I just found out I am highly intollerant to gluten, dairy and eggs, and also somewhat intollerant to soy. This is the first year that I am supposed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner with many guests who haven't got problems with gluten. Three of these guests are the old-fashioned major carb eaters--they eat TONS of bread, and other unhealthy tasty comfort...
  14. So, I found another celiac page which talks about the celiac's diet in three stages, the first stage, where you are healing, the second, when you start introducing foods back in to your diet and the third where you are sustaining. Does this mean you CAN heal some of your food intollerances, if you give yourself time?
