About Me
Holistic Nutritionist in training specializing in gluten-free alternative and therapeutic diets. I've had diagnosed celiac since 2004 and didn't get better on a traditional gluten-free diet.
Currently recruiting participants for my free educational program as part of my nutrition certification. Must be over 18 (or with parents permission) and gluten-free for less than 2 years (some wiggle room here). In exchange for taking a survey on what you learned, I'll send you 3 chapters from my final project:
"Why you should nix the processed Gluten-Free foods: An Introduction to Therapeutic Specialty Diets"
"Figuring out what to eat in restaurants without driving yourself (or your waiter!) crazy"
" Beating the bloat: How to feel better fast when you inevitably get glutened "

ARCHIVED Gluten withdrawal help

Hang in there! It's such a misconception that you'll feel better instantly after cutting out gluten. It's super important to heal your damaged gut lining, too. I found acupuncture, naps and Epsom salt baths really helpful when I first went gluten-free. My poor body was so overwhelmed! -

Allergy or Preference? Waiter asks
Anna Walker replied to atheresa's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I've talked to a lot of waiters about this and I think it's always a safe bet to say I have celiac and if they give you a blank stare say "allergy." I'm always pleasantly surprised by how many people in the food industry know someone or are familiar with it now. That said I ALWAYS ask a million questions like is there anything with gluten fried in the... -
This sounds like me as a kid! I was diagnosed with celiac when I was 15 (after being sick since I was about 10). I had to cut out dairy, ALL processed gluten free foods, most grains & legumes and other gluten-cross reactors before getting better. I was also treated for SIBO and leaky gut. Might want to look into that. Hope your daughter gets...
