Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

    I buy most of my meats at Meijers. I find no difference between store brands and name brands aside from the price..and I'm very sensitive to any sort of additives.
  2. Bubba's Mom
    Gallbladder dyskenesia and pancreatic insufficiency can be caused by Celiac disease damage in the duodenum. A hormone (CCK) is produced there and is sent to the gallbladder and pancreas telling them to squeeze out the bile and digestive enzymes needed to break down and digest foods/fats. I had severe damage when DXed and was having a lot of upper right...

    Hello and welcome Anete. I'm so sorry you don't have the support of your friends and family..or medical people. I'm glad you figured this out for yourself though. We're here for you!

    Well..I guess technically potatoes won't kill somebody..but I don't want to eat things that I know are going to make it almost impossible to do things like..open jars, or walk up stairs. It seems to me, if something is causing that much inflamation it's something we ought to skip? I like potatoes..and occasional potoato chips..but I can live without them...

    Thanks so much for your input! There's no Dr. that I know of that will ever admit that we can have these sort of sensitivities, much less help sort them out. I tried low sals when I first heard about them almost a year ago. I slowly added things back and nothing seemed to bother me until the potatoes just recently..whammo! My first thought was nightshades...

    I'm so glad I whined here a bit..and that you posted about the sals Bartful. I've lost strawberries recently, and the stew I made had potatoes, carrots, and bay leaf..all high sals. Blueberries bothered me in salad with olive oil..also high sals. I've been eating peaches and broccoli quite a bit and use coconut on my veggies in lieu of butter...all high...

    Now that you mention it...bluebarries bothered me the other day. I had them in a salad with dressing made from lime juice, sugar, and olive oil. I'm going to have to watch the sals. When I had my first endoscope the damage was pretty obvious. The lab doing the biopsy report questioned if I was using Nsaids..which I never use. It made me question sals...

    I really wanted to keep potatoes! LOL I tried Idaho vs red potatoes well peeled and they're still a no-go. Sweet potatoes technically aren't a potato so I hope you can keep those? Finges crossed for you!
  9. Bubba's Mom
    Thanks for the sympathy Bartful. I'll wait a few days and try a test to see if all potatoes are out, or if I can still do potato starch. I know you've faced a lot of these problems too, so you know what it's like to lose a food. I've been gluten-free for just over a year, but never got feeling healthy. I've been to Mayo 3 times and all they can say is...

    I've been having odd symptoms. My severe insomnia came back..and my joints hurt..a lot! Whatever was "getting me" was getting worse. I keep a food log, so I went back and looked at what I've eaten and symptoms. The evening I had fried potatoes, then veggie chips made from potato starch the knuckles in my hands hurt so bad I couldn't bear to move them...

    I read the book and it sure made lots of sense. Wheat consumption has increased in our diets, and with it came obesity, Arthritis, thyroid diseases, high blood pressure, and diabetes along with a host of other illnesses. I don't think wheat is really good for anyone? Even those around me who aren't DXed as Celiac seem to suffer an awful lot of symptoms...

    Thanks so much for sharing your cooking method. I probably wouldn't have thought to use the cast iron and it sounds like it worked well? I haven't tried the Chebe mix, but I see my grocery store carries it. I'm real tempted to run out and get some to go with the pot of beef stew I'm making for supper. My hubby and son would be thrilled!
  13. Bubba's Mom
    If you have damage to the tips of your villi you may not be making the enzyme that breaks down lactose? It's best if we go dairy free at first. Your intolerances will be unique to you, but often times soy, dairy, and corn seem to pop up as main offenders. Sometimes you have to go low spice or limit nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant)for...

    Going gluten-free is hard on our spouses. We have the incentive because we feel the results of consuming it..they don't. It was really hard for my hubby to wrap his head around and we had quite a few "discussions" about his careless, sloppy use of gluten not only in the kitchen..but wherever he took his food. He rolled his eyes at me a lot. As long...

    I'm so glad you're feeling better. Being dehydrated makes a lot of your organs work harder..even your brain doesn't like it. I'm surprised they let you go if they gave you 4 bags of IV solution and you were still dehydrated, but I'm sure they thought that was enough? So many of us have been through procedures and tests, but not the right ones. I hope...

    How timely! I'm sitting here eating spaghetti squash..and it just isn't the same as the pasta I grew up on. All of the gluten-free pastas I've tried make me want to hurl.
  17. Bubba's Mom
    Oh sweetie..my heart goes out to you! It's just awful that this has happened to you. I wish I could take it away from you. (((hugs)))
  18. Bubba's Mom
    Bloating usually means the food hasn't digested very well and is sitting there sort of fermenting (causing gas). The fat content in a hot dog can do that. Have you tried taking digestive enzymes when you eat? If you're still bloated you could try a bit of baking soda in a glass of water? I can't walk through the bakery section of the grocery store...
  19. Bubba's Mom
    You poor baby! The prep for a colonoscopy is pretty rough to go through. Much worse than the procedure itself. I'm very surprised they didn't give you an IV to rehydrate you. Next time ask them to run one? If I'm having any sort of procedure I've learned to ask for an IV to hydrate me..I'm not shy about it. I'm glad you have Gatorade, because your...

    Great! Now..will you come and clean mine? LOL
  21. Bubba's Mom
    Thanks for the link to the recipe! I like to try ones that others have tried and like. The addition of the spring onion is a bit different and sounds really good. I think I'd like to try some of the fridge pickles? Mooove over broccoli. (the market had it for 39 cents a bunch..I got lots)
  22. Bubba's Mom
    I made 22 pints of dill pickles/hot pepper mix (like Tony Packos), 10 pints of garlic dill spears(for me), and 2 quarts of baby dills. I love making pickles and hadn't done it in years. Recently when we were at the Farmer's market my hubby asked why I don't make them anymore. I decided to surprise him a couple of days later and made the pickles and...
  23. Bubba's Mom
    I'm SO glad the treatment has worked for you! It's hard for me to describe the feeling I had after my treatment. It was kind of like somebody flipped a switch and I suddenly had energy. I've heard of Diatomaceouss Earth being used to kill garden slugs..but not parasites. I looked it up. Open Original Shared Link Might be worth getting some to take...
  24. Bubba's Mom
    I was really sick when I first went to a GI. My PCP kept telling me there was nothing physically wrong with me.. When I told the GI my symptoms, which were many, and severe. She said she wanted to schedule an endoscope right away, along with a stomach emptying study, and some blood tests. I had blood drawn that day and my scope about a week later. When...
  25. Bubba's Mom
    Wow..that's fantastic news! The switch to gluten-free and tightening up the chance of cc has probably saved your daughter from a lifetime of thyroid problems? Isn't it amazing how many things in our bodies are affected by what we eat?
