It's freezing here today. I don't like it.

No need to be sorry. That's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it. Since Emmitt won, apparently a lot of people thought the same thing. Technically, Mario is a much better dancer. In a real dance contest, Emmitt could not have won against Mario. Dancing With the Stars has that extra component of having the fan's vote count. That's what made the...

You know what the coolest thing about being on the gluten-free diet has been for me so far? Not getting sick. I've been gluten-free for nearly three years now and have not had any cold or flu at all. I might have mentioned this previously in my blog, but it still amazes me. I don't know if it's because I'm off gluten, or because my kids are older and...

I'm shocked that they wouldn't make that one small concession and mix your salad in a clean bowl! How much time would that take - 10 seconds?

Not So Tempting Turkey Day
Mosaics commented on brendygirl's blog entry in Gluten Free Breeze (formerly Brendygirl) Blog
Going gluten-free hasn't changed our Thanksgiving much at all. We usually have my family come to my house. Everything I make is gluten-free and nobody can really even tell the difference - gluten-free pecan pies, pumpkin pies, chocolate striped cheesecake, stuffing (made with rice bread), mashed pototoes (gluten-free gravy is the same as I've always... -

You might also want to consider a DNA test. From what I understand, it doesn't matter if you are eating gluten or not for that test. My mother had a DNA test and it was a simple mouth swab. -
Nope, haven't had any experience with that. Check out the forums, though, you may be able to find some info on it there.

I like to have lunch with my friends at La Madeleine's, but since so much of their food is bread based, I usually have the same couple of things over and over, which is kind of a drag. Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I used to get their mushroom soup every time it was the soup du jour. Oh, it is yummy! After I got my diagnosis, when I questioned...

Still Not Symptom Free - Any Advice?
Mosaics commented on bluff wallace's blog entry in bluff wallace's Blog
It takes some people longer to reap the benefits of the the gluten-free diet. I was better immediately as was my brother....I mean, like two days. Some people suffer longer. My guess is that you are getting gluten from a hidden source. Check your food carefully. Do you know what to look for? What kinds of foods do you eat - prepackaged stuff, fresh... -
I contacted Kimball Labs to find out how much their Celiac DNA tests are. They responded back: Thank you for your inquiry. The list price for the Celiac Disease DNA Test is $395. Patients who enclose payment with their sample receive a 10% discount (check or credit card) bringing the price to $355.50. In addition, we offer a family discount. After...

Even though I already know my children and I have celiac disease, I'm thinking about having a DNA test done on all of us. I think it will be helpful for my children to know where they and their future offspring stand with this disease and the possibilities of future generations inheriting it. Here's the website for the lab I'm considering: Open Original...

Hey! Red is "totally 80's"?! Absolutely not. Red is smokin' hot and the only color that roadsters should come in. Of course, they have to make other colors for those people who aren't quite as hip and leave the red to me. I had a RED BMW Z3 for nearly 10 years. When it was time to upgrade, it had to be the Z4...in red, of course. I test drove...

I think it's time for more pictures! I got a new car in June. It's a BMW Z4. I had a Z3 for about 10 years that I sold...on www.craigslist.com , believe it or not. It sold the first week to the first person who contacted me. Wow. Anyway, here's my new car. Ain't it purty?! It has lots of cool features and I'm enjoying it very much. Well, crud. I...

Is There Such A Thing As Mild celiac disease?
Mosaics commented on jacobsmom44's blog entry in jacobsmom44's Blog
Some people are more sensitive to gluten than others. When I was first diagnosed and went on the gluten-free diet, I didn't feel sick if I cheated either. I would get a little acid reflux, but that was all. Now, after eating gluten-free for three years, if I ingest gluten (and I only have gluten by accident - NEVER intentionally) I do get sick. I... -
ARCHIVED Epileptic Auras An Ah Ha Moment
Mosaics replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I haven't ever had a seizure, but I did go through a period of time in which I often smelled bread. I can't really connect it to any incident or time period except that I know it was after my second child was born and lasted for a couple of years. I don't know if it stopped before or after I went on the gluten-free diet. -
I know this is an old thread, but I was doing some internet searches about Dupuytren's since my mother was diagnosed with it today. I came upon this thread in my search, not realizing it was celiac.com until I clicked back on the link. Ha. I come here all the time. I, along with several other family members including my mother, have celiac disease. ...

My mom, who has celiac disease (and passed it on to her children) just found out today that she has Dupuytren's Contraction (dew-pwee-TRAWNS). Of course, I'm wondering if there is some connection between the two. I've been searching the net and found one other celiac site in which two people with celiac disease also have Dupuytren's. Otherwise, I haven...

We went to an out of town wedding this weekend. I was looking forward to some really good food, but was sadly disappointed. The first night we went out with a group of my husband's family to a supposedly very good restaurant - spent $80.00 on just my husband and myself. I had a salad with raspberry vinagrette, I could barely taste the dressing. Then a...

I'm always interested to read about celiac disease sufferers with seizures. I have a friend who has a daughter with seizures. She had her very first on at my house (unlucky me). She's my daughter's age and had spent the night. We all got up very early to go to Sea World, San Antonio. I was in the shower and heard this big thump. I went upstairs to...

It's a small thing, but I'm still bummed. I just found out that my favorite fish restaurant, The Flying Fish, puts beer in their hushpuppies. I thought I had been so careful asking about the gluten and making sure there was no wheat in any of the food. I was assured there was not and have been happily eating there for a few months now. I had noticed...

I read all the blogs. It has been interesting reading about your experiences in your country. My experience with celiac has been similar to what you've experienced in your home area (I'm in the U.S.A). People usually say, "What? What's celiac? How can you not eat wheat?" My mother and sister have been very resistant to getting tested, too...
-
It is very likely that your mother and some of your siblings also have celiac disease, especially if your mother has regular stomach problems as your post suggests. Since it's genetic, it's in your family. It came from either your mother or your father's family and it's not likely that it's just a rogue gene that popped up in only you...

Kaycee, y es, I've written previously that I do suffer when I accidently get gluten. In fact, I'm much more sensitive to gluten now that I've been gluten-free for three years than I was in the beginning. My experience has been almost exactly like yours in that I didn't realize I had symptoms before I was diagnosed because I thought I was normal. It's kinda...
-
Ha! I understand the bitterness. I was diagnosed with celiac disease before I had any noticeable symptoms, and I was not suffering either. Both of my children also. Earlier in my blog I told about how I was diagnosed. Your comment makes me wonder how old you are. For the people that I personally know with celiac disease, they didn't start getting...

I don't understand my fellow celiac disease sufferers when they say that they're tempted to eat gluten, or that they just had to have a piece of cake, or a piece of bread. They say they know they'll suffer for it, but "it won't hurt to have just one piece", or "I just had to have it", etc. What are they thinking? I'm beginning to think that some people...
