    Tempted? Nah.

    Kaycee commented on Mosaics's blog entry in Mosaics' Blog

    So true, just say no. I have had no difficulty in saying no, and like you I don't understand how people can get tempted. I must admit it is harder to say no when on a diet, as I admit to cheating on that heaps of times. But coeliac is so different, one crumb and it can be quite damaging to our health. A diet, I guess you can cheat, without feeling...

    Yes you can taste the difference in the textures. I now when cooking cakes go for the more flavoursome cake. eg I make fruit muffins, instead of plain ones. I really go for the cakes with different flavours, where it is not too much like a plain cake. I have yet to try a carrot cake. The boys who are great connosoirs say my concoctions taste quite nice...

    I have noticed that I have become more efficient in the kitchen. I don't throw away half as much food, it all seems to go. I usually have to replace something now, because it is all gone, not because it has gone off! Have I mentioned that I don't get as hungry? I have gained confidence in my own cooking again. I thought my diet was healthy before,...

    Since being gluten free for five months, I have not gained or lost any weight. I did loose 2 stone before diagnosis, through dieting, and would love to loose some more, but it is winter now, and I am feeling the cold, I will get back to the salads and things soon. The best thing is, I have found a diet that suits me, and doesn't leave me hungry like before...

    I have just come across this thread, and it is already 3 pages long, and I have only read your opener. Here is my intitial reaction to this thread Jacklyn. I am newish too. I thought the same too that everyone was going too far. But the further I have gone into this, the more I realise that I am just as sensitive as everyone else seems to be, yet my symptoms...

    So true. I go to work, eat, and live coeliac. A highlight is coming home and checking up on celia.com. But is has been awesome, and I have learnedso much from you all. At last I have something (other than hubby) to feel passionate about. What is housework? Cathy

    Theresa, in this last paragraph, it could be me. My location only means McD's, pizza hut and KFC. Yuck. Or if I want to take a risk, fast foods from local outlets. Have definately given up most processed foods. Yes glutened items were so easy to use, and now it is cooking from scratch, I have got to the stage where that is second nature, and very yummy...

    Last night, I volunteered to make soup for a workmate and it had barley in it. It was a bit tough to cook, as there was no way I could tell whether it tasted right or not. But the room had the aroma of soup, and it smelt quite unappealing, and I am normally such a soup lover. Later on that evening, my stomach played up as it seems to when I get glutened...

    I am under the impression that bowel cancer and other cancers in the stomach, small intestine and bowell can be attributed to untreated coeliac. Once you are treated, your chances of getting these cancers go down. Going for the colonoscopy will be only a precautionary matter, to rule out cancer. There is a lot of bowel cancer in my fathers family, but...

    Two Different Shoes

    Kaycee posted a blog entry in Kaycee's Blog

    Well this is one of those days that don’t come around very often. As it was a teachers only day, and as I am not a teacher, I had the choice whether to come into work or not. So I opted to stay away, and catch up on a few things at home. Had to finish my library book, “Map of the world” by Jane (Janet?) Hamilton, really good book, but already two d...

    Good points. I will take note talk to the doctor about it. I thought it was all in my head, as nobody else comments. But they do all say I looke better, but then never told me I looked terrible before dianosis. Cathy

    Being a New Zealander, I've been to Australia Sydney, but that was before I was diagnosed. Lovely place, walked for miles and miles. The highlight was going up their tower, probably because my son did some work in the liftwell a few years back, and we went up togehter, and it was the first time he'd been up to see the view. Of course there is a coeliac...

    When I was a lot younger, my relatives were always telling me to go outside and get more sun, as I looked pale. I did think I got enough sun, but didn't go out looking for it. But I at times thought that maybe I did look a little yellow, Doesn't that mean jaundice? Nobody commented on that, so I thought it is just me, and I must be okay, (A bit like all...

    Hi. I am coeliac, and one of the overweight ones. Alwasy have been overweight. I lost about 12 kilos, (2 stone), before I was diagnosed. It wasn't too hard to do, but once I had plateaued at just over 12 stone and I was still trying to diet, I found I was so hungry it felt like I could not fight the hunger. I had to eat, or go crazy. I was having...

    I am one of those who has not been anaemic with coeliac. I have at times been low in my iron levels, as when I was pregnant with my children. I needed to take spplements then. Last year before diagnosis my iron levels were low, but nothing to worry about, but I opted to take an iron supplement, so by the time I was diagnosed earlier this year. So yes...

    I am usually a tolerant person, but since I have discovered an intolerance, I am thinking maybe I should act the part. This is going back a little time and it is a real rant. When first diagnosed with coeliac I had felt like I am on my own with this. The forums have been great, but we are all such different people with so many different needs, it is...

    Since I am not american, and from what I gather, cornbread is from that neck of the wooods. I have not done any cooking with cornmeal, as I have only discovered it. Nobody over here seems to know what to do with it, so I am asking for hints or ideas for its use, whether it be cornbread or whatever. There is nothing like an intolerance to make people look...

    Lister I feel good, getting better, hope you will soon too.. I want to eat more fruit and veges, but I was more worried about all the extra fibre would just go straight through, and then I will be back where I started, not absorbing all the nutrients I need. Still I didn't do too badly while eating gluten back then, as I was nowhere malnourished. But this...

    I personally find it quite offensive, that even though one test returned weakly positive, the doctor said if you weren't Irish and not superthin, then it must be IBS! I am not superthin, nor am I Irish, just a teeny bit. But coeliacs come in all shapes and sizes! I was diagnosed as weakly positive, and that was after 6 weeks being gluten free, and...

    Peanut butter with banana is nice. I have just had peanut butter on crackers. I am not giving up meat etc, never even thought about it. Thanks for your reply. Cathy

    Love the diet, love the fruit and vegetables, but am a bit reluctant to eat too much of it. As it is I probably eat about4 or 5ervings of fruit a day, with no untoward symptoms. Probably less vegetables, about 3 or four servings. But they are filling, and stop my cravings for fattening food. What is too much, especially the fruit? Is there any dangers...

    Interesting day to say the least. Morning same as usual at work. Was told by an informed man this morning, that a woman needs one man who can do many things, yet a man needs many women who can do one thing. Is it true? I always thought that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. He did not quite agree with me there, maybe I have got it all w...

    14 June, 2006 The diarrhoea is back. It had gone for nearly two weeks, after being nearly a daily occurrence for a month. I know where it came from, but I was so hungry a couple of nights back, I just had to have fries! I had been to a meeting, everyone at home was hungry, it was late and I just had to eat! Within an hour, I knew I had done it. I will...

    Boring Day

    Kaycee posted a blog entry in Kaycee's Blog

    It is so cold today, as if the wind has come straight off the mountains. So much for our winterless north, it is just a myth. Mum and dad down south are experiencing blizzard like conditions and we up here nearly got blown away yesterday. There was major weather and power woes all over the country, and Auckland moaned the most, as usual. We woke...

    Kris, I had a blood test, and it was positive. The doctor told me to keep going with the the gluten free diet, and that I would need a biopsy. His main reason for me to have the biopsy was to make sure that there was no other damage done through being coeliac. He wasn't too worried if that showed up nothing, as nothing would change his mind that I had coeliac...
