Tried Carbs Again

So I tried to eat some carbs again and started with a half cup of black beans. Well seems after eating just fats, protein and very small amounts of carbs from vegetables my body does not know what to do with carbs. I lost 3lbs of weight from waking up on a empty stomach and eating them with my 8 egg omelette, then eating a chopped salad with eggs, hemp seeds, almonds in it for lunch then weighed in at my afternoon snack time weighing 4lbs less then I would normally at that time and 3 lbs less th

Why did She have sorghum flour?

I recall back when I was in denial of having celiacs years ago. I was at my grandmas and she had a old container of flour. I tried a bit of it on a whim, had a earthly flavor tad deep and off and I assumed it was old flour from god knows when. But I did not have a reaction to it, this made me think perhaps it was not gluten but the other crap they put in flours now day. But I kept having gluten reactions and eventually gave up and took about a year before I learned what that stuff was. I was lat

Treating myself

I have broken down and gotten a ice cream machine in the past 4 months and a bunch of lor ann oils ice cream flavorings. I found making a protein pudding mix flavoring it and loading it in for a after dinner bowl to make me pure pleasure and not care about breads/carbs.     I normally start with a almond milk base, add a fat like almond butter, coconut flour, a sweetener like swerve or xylitol, and a heating it up and mixing in a thickening agent like fruit pectin, knoxx gelatin, chia seeds, or

Someone has it worse.....

I've been in a really bad place this week. I've struggled a lot with the Celiac diagnosis. I was doing better and then this week hit me like a ton of bricks.... I think because I officially transition to gluten-free on Monday..... I am scared. Scared of losing the convenience I'm used to. Scared of losing the food I'm used to and love. I don't care how it sounds.... I'm fat because I eat bad. I like bad food. I no longer will be able to eat that food. Not just for a short time-not just for a yea

Maggi Chicken Bouillon Cubes Recalled Due to Undeclared Wheat

According to Hannaford's Web site: "This product contains undeclared wheat flour as an ingredient. The presence of an undeclared wheat ingredient poses a potential health hazard." Maggi Chicken Bouillon Tablets, 5.08 oz., UPC # 28000-11567 Maggi Chicken Bouillon Tablets, 2.43 oz., UPC # 28000-24795 Obviously since the product contains wheat flour it would not be gluten-free and anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should heed this warning.

Two examples about the stupidity of the doctors

Both examples were originally posted on another forum, where I discuss a topic of my initiated. 1. Are doctors able to perform a proper differential diagnosis?  An example about the incompetence of human brain would be medicine. Did you know that the average time that goes for diagnosing Sjogren's Syndrome (an autoimmune disease most often prevalent in middle aged women) is 7 years!? Those poor women suffer years with dry eyes, mouth, and

Apparently I'm Mycroft Holmes

The last blog entry was about my GI not having a clue what's wrong with me. I was angry, and even more angrier when another senior GI said the exact same thing, although he did say it could be IBS. I loudly thought "f*ck you", because I gave him my whole list of symptoms, and expressed my solemn concern that this list contains A LOT more symptoms than just now cured diarrhea and still present pain in the stomach, which btw is minor. Here is the list: brain fog

cross country

When I was in cross country we would travel to compete and it was a huge hassle to find something I could eat. Everyone always wanted fast food or pizza. Well i made it through by packing food  or just being hungry until i could find something. Well tomorrow I have a banquet and they are serving pizza.. so again I get to be asked why I'm not eating and "just get over it" , "are you doing this to loose weight" Im tired of people thinking I'm just not eating gluten to get slim! ?

Dates

I know that I'm a little young to be going on dates. But what can I say, it's my senior year and its time to have fun. Ive been asked on quite a few dates most of which I have turned down (they were not great people), the few I have gone on were terrible. Most people don't realize how hard it is to find somewhere to eat out when you can't eat anything. They always try to take me to certain places which I can't eat, like Panera bread. They always say " its not going to kill you" "you'll be fine"

Hiding The Symptoms

My sister and I joke around a lot about the creative ways we hide our symptoms from the world. From carrying strong ass perfume, or wearing pads in our shirts, we create laughter and ideas that would send any normal person walking away shaking their head. But at what point does hiding your symptoms take every inch of strength from you? I realized just how weak I was when my symptoms showed on a place I couldn’t hide… My lips. I have been diagnosed with eczema for a while now and I have foun

Medication.. Medication.. Medication

Medication….. What a dreaded word, surrounded by stigmas and scapegoats. I have been on over 35 prescription medications since I was 13. I am now 19, almost 20, and the list seems to just keep growing. Between My eczema, DH, allergies, and now my un-responsive celiac, I have been a mess of a teenager; but seemed to have grown quickly into an adult. A lot parents are quick to take their children to the doctor, pop pills in their mouth, rub creams on their asses, and expect a result; but that is n

Finding The Right Doctor

After my GI doctor told me nothing was wrong with my blood test, even though i was feeling very ill, i knew it was time for a change. This doctor had recommended me to eat products that had wheat and gave me samplers of probiotics that stated "contained wheat" on the back!   The doctor i really wanted to see.... Dr. Crowe at the UCSD celiac clinic. This wonderful place seemed to be the solution to all my gastrointestinal needs. The only problem i faced, my insurance.   The battle began with my

Herr Foods Announces Recall of Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips Marked Gluten-Free, but Contain Gluten

Herr Foods Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of certain bags of its 1.875 oz. Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chip due to a packaging error that incorrectly states that the product is gluten free. While the back panel of the package complies with U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) label regulations by listing "Wheat" in the ingredient statement as well as "Contains Wheat" in its related allergen statement, the front panel of the package erroneously features the words "Gluten Free.

100% Celiac-Free…and other marketing blunders.

We have all been warned about tricksy stunts included in fine print.  We all know someone who has been duped by a some technical legal speak.  But what about the in your face statements that are just plain misleading?  When it comes to gluten free statements, errors whether accidental or intentional can be harmful.  The sad thing is that as more companies want a piece of the gluten-free pie, not all companies take due diligence in understanding gluten-free.   Just yesterday I experienced this no
