Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs
My Last Dentist Trip, Until The Next One.
I shouldn't be too surprised. This week (May 12) got off to an awful start. I should have maybe cancelled the dentist for this week. Still, I went off a little optimistic that I would not get lectures this time. I have been gluten free for over a year and hadn't had any cavities for several years. The hygentist listened half sympathetically as I mentioned that I had mal-absorption (now diagnosed). Another hygentist had told me that mal-absorption could cause deposits everywhere the saliva p
First Post
Starting a blog on this website seemed like a pretty good idea moments ago, but now that I'm posting my first entry, I'm not really sure what to say :-) An intro perhaps? Hi, I'm Dani. I am an illustrator, and I seem to like the idea of calling myself an artist as well! I am a self diagnosed celiac (or at least I think I am). My general health has improved ever since I started the diet, specifically since my periods (which were absent prior to the diet) are regular now! The hardest
On The Right Track!
This summer my goal has been to eat healthy, exercise, and lose weight! Weight was never really an issue for me until this year when I gained 20 pounds in 3 months. Which is insane and makes me feel totally horrible about myself. As someone who also struggles somewhat with anorexic tendencies, gaining that much weight was truly terrifying. The first half of the summer didn't go as planned because, to be honest, it is really hard being home. Not having the food options I did at college caI Cheated
Tonight my mom decided to go to Church's and bring home a bucket full of fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, and biscuits. Needless to say I totally fell of the wagon and now I'm paying for it not even 2 hours later. However, that mac-n-cheese was amazing after not having it in over a year. So now I'm just lying here researching magic ways online to ease my symptoms and of course there's really nothing I can do other than to rest, stay hydrated, and let it run its couBeing The Only One: The Lonely Life Of A Celiac
When I was younger it seemed like I always felt bad. Like most "normal" little kids, I enjoyed the multitude of gluten-filled foods that the world had to offer me. I was a hard-core lover of macaroni and cheese, peanut-butter brownies, and fried chicken. The only problem was that my stomach was always kind of off, but this was my norm so I never thought much of it. Apparently neither did my parents, that is, until my junior year of high school. I was 17 and sick. I had suffered from depWhere Do I Stand?
I wonder who else is fascinated by another person's weight loss journey whether it be a friend, somebody on TV or writing in a blog. The psychological journey these people go on in order to lose weight impresses me. There are many demons to fight. I loved the show "Ruby". Well, even though I am coming from the opposite end of the spectrum (needing to gain weight) and plenty of people would roll their eyes at this juncture, I am finding myself on a journey not that different from those I'v
People Pleasing Cannot Coexist With This Thing
I'm frustrated beyond belief with myself. How long does it take to change behavior brought with me from childhood? I'm a people pleaser. I love to keep the peace. I will do anything for peace. Now, the thing that worked for so many years, people pleasing, is contributing to my illness. "Yes, sure, I can have watermelon." Forget about washing my hands beforehand. These hands that had just been immersed in potato chips at my mom's behest to feed the geese at the park. These hands thatA Stitch In Time Saves Nine

I am blown away by these kids with disabilities; their challenges and their resilience. How inspiring is this documentary on HBO. Very touching and uplifting.I'm Sorry
I must apologize, in advance, for making such bluesy feelings public. Maybe it's a generational thing but I learned as a child that publicizing anything that looked close to "sour puss" just won't cut it. So I'm sorry for that. Maybe this is the start of becoming a genuine human being. I'm sorry for being apathetic today. I was so active yesterday and it felt good to get so much accomplished. Maybe I should pat myself on the back for clearing this as a day of rest because I knew I wouldFrom: My Thoughts On Supplements

As I was doing my weekly glance through the PubMed database (www.pubmed.gov) I came across an interesting letter to the editor in the Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics entitled, “Celiac Disease and Endometriosis: What is the Nexus?” Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder, which effects approximately 10% of women of childbearing age. It involves the development of endometrium, which is the tissue which lines the uterus, in areas of the body outside of the uterus. Symptoms of endometri

Dive after dive has come to me since I have been really battling celiac disease (mostly Undiagnosed) for 6 years! By battling, I mean spending much efforts to help my body work right, my actual plight with celiac. disease has been at least 30 years. This time I have cause to rejoice. I feel better.

I have had celiac for 12 years and have may food intolerances but have been feeling very sick again. Neuropathy is much worse and I have gained weight quickly but feel like I am starving. I have back pain on the right side when I eat foods with a fat content, chicken, avocado etc... I have been experiencing all over pain and stiffness with exhaustion once again and am waiting on blood workup to come back. Has anyone else had right side back pain often?
Gluten Free 4 Years New Allergies?
So, I never "passed" any of the tests to guarantee that I am gluten intolerant but I know I was because as soon as I stopped eating it all of the digestive challenges I had my entire life were greatly reduced and the horrible skin problems I had rec%$#$ly begun to be afflicted with stopped. BUT, now I find I am having severe brain fog issues and it seems to happen after I consume quinoa. Anyone else have this issue? Help!!! It is becoming a problem at work.
"up To Date" Management Of Celiac Disease In Adults
“Up to Date” is an online medical database for physicians and other practitioners. I use it almost every day when I am at work to get a brief overview of the most recent evidence regarding the diagnosis and management of my patients’ problems. I just reviewed the most recent “Up to Date” highlights on the management of Celiac Disease in adults (published April 10, 2013). Here are some of the highlights: There are 6 key elements in the management of Celiac patients (note pneumonic CELIAC)Non-Responsive Celiac Disease
Nonresponders are the 5% of Celiac patients who have either persistent symptoms and/or abnormally high Celiac antibodies after two years on the gluten free diet. According the most recent medical review in the “Up to Date” database, there are 5 main categories of nonresponders to the gluten free diet: -Patient is continuing to eat gluten. This is the most common cause of persistent symptoms. This can be on purpose (i.e. taking a little bite of a gluten containing food every once in a whiDear Future Amy
Dear Future Amy, I know you are doubting your intolerance/sensitivity to gluten. I'm sure, now that time has gone on, you're starting to doubt the trouble it has caused you. You have forgotten how very miserable your gluten challenge was, and have started allowing the if's and the but's and the maybe's into your mind. So, I'm writing to you now, to remind you...read this and think back. Remember. Accept. And for the love of God, put down the Vanilla Porter, or the flat bread, or the Oreo, it
Thank You for the Opportunity to Blog about Celiac Disease
Thank you for the opportunity to blog about celiac! I have been on a stringent diet for intolerance to all grains, milk & dairy, egg whites, yeast, casein, whey, maltodextrin, modified food starch and MSG since 2000. Dealing with the social ramifications of not participating as others do in the "normal" dietary regimens of "normal" America has been a daunting challenge, but one that continues daily to help me learn greater strength, renewed courage, and increased persistence, all traits whic

John Scott pointed me to Wiki entry about the effect of diet on hookworm egg production: https://www.helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/NA_incubation:_very_detailed_method_by_Alana#Promotion_of_egg_viability_by_dietary_manipulation
Nothing presently in my diet was mentioned in the article, but it does bring up the obvious point that my diet would naturally affect the health and wellness of the hookworms that live in my gut. Something to think about.

Yes, there are several gluten-free certifications out there (one is the GFCO), and the usual standard they claim is 10ppm, however, recent findings indicate that even the GFCO's higher standards may not ensure that foods they certify are gluten-free:

What Parents Need to Know About Raising a Child with Celiac Disease (+Video)
