Breaking My Fast
I haven't been able to eat normal food without problems for as long as I can remember. The problems used to be worse, but I unconsciously identified some as causing me a problem. I have always been a picky eater. Today I tried to eat normal food for lunch with digestive enzymes, for the first time. Normally now the problems I have when I eat is that I get a headache, I'm dizzy, I can't think, and I go into a sort of daze. It starts about a half an hour after I eat and lasts for two hours
I Am Trying So Hard Not To Get Giddy This Time
Here I go again. I think I am going through the same old series of happenings that I go through every time I begin a new phase of attempting to heal. I begin: New supplements : New diet change or : New excercise plan I begin with enthusiasm. I feel better. I get overwhelmed with the work, but I go on hoping that I can maintain the really better feeling. Finally, I realize the good feeling has been gone for a long time. I don't know what can be done. I lose hope. I discPossible Celiac Disease
I had my daughter about 4 months ago. Since than I have had almost IBS symptoms which is diarrhea, constipation, bloody stool, mucus, cramping, bloating, dizzy. I went to a GI dr and they did blood work and I positive for TTGABA and also had a abnormal endo iga screen. It wasn't positive enough to say I have celiac and I know the only way to clearly diagnose is a upper endoscopy. I really don't want to do that so I was wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and just decided to go glu
Thanksgiving Thoughts
As thanksgiving approaches my stress level increases. It is now not only my own diet that I have to worry about but also the diet of my 13 year old daughter. Thanksgiving being such a family oriented and traditional holiday, especially in the realm of food, makes it very difficult to maneuver. Being a guest at my brother's house, I dare not try to break the family tradition of stuffing the bird with my mother's oyster stuffing. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving for everyone else. So as a result I sepa
Gluten They Are Missing In Drugs!
Soooooo, how many of you realized that Sodium Starch Glycolate (a common filler in EVERYTHING) is considered gluten and toxic to those of us who have severe Celiac? I learned the hard way..... After being bitten by what they think was a deer tick (had a round bullseye rash) I was put on what was supposed to be a gluten free drug. I was SICKER after taking the drug...dawned on me I had better research the filler ingredients. Turns out to those very sensitive, SODIUM STARCH GLYCOLATE is in the
Yet To Be Diagnosed
After having chronic diarrhea for over 3 weeks and numerous visits to hospital and docs.. blood tests now awaiting results, i have come to the self help conclusion i may have Celiac disease, as now i am eating gluten free products i have no diarrhea. I am not sure if i will be glad when my results come back and say yes i have or no i haven't. What i feel i need help in doing is finding out how best to get the protein i need as i am almost veggi... i have small amount of chicken when my consci
I Will Give Up Gluten, I Could Do That, But I Do Not Want To Do A Rotational Diet.
One day I was feeling perky and having quite an animated discussion with my doctor. I had previously not wanted to consider cutting gluten from my diet.. Desperate as I was, it could not be that helpful. I always thought that my homemade breads were so good for me. Then, I drew a new line and I could avoid gluten if I could just feel better consistently. I needed to feel like I didn't have to give everything up, so I said, that I wasn't ready to do a rotational diet. I thought I mighOh My Life :). It Is What It Is
This is my first blog entry so I'm gonna keep it light. Plus I'm typing from my phone so that makes it tough to write a quality blog From my phone because walking to work! Hey celiac bloggers, I'm Stephanie, 36, an RN, and I walk 1.8 miles to work every morning so my teenager can keep the car. Lol people never understand that, and I don't understand how any MOM doesn't get that. We do what we have to do for oir kids. Plus, my jiggly a$s could use the exercise that's for sure. So anyhooooo...

You Are Not A Celiac
Celiac disease has a very unique trait that I have come to notice in the years I have been involved with it: people connect to it in a way that people with almost all other diseases do not... People with celiac disease will often say "I'm a celiac". ...but you do not hear anyone ever say "I'm a cancer" or "I'm a heart disease" or "I'm an MS". The exceptions seem to be food related: "I'm a celiac" and "I'm a diabetic". Why do we become the disease? Is it because it affects what
Testing 123. Food Intolerance And Nutrient Absorption
For 8 months I have been gluten free. For 6 months I have been grain free. Shortly after I began the diet I began to seek after tests to optimize my healing. I struggled with what tests to do. Who should do the tests? Would my insurance cover the tests? I had a huge deductible with the insurance company with the Health Account now gone. However, I am finally ready. This Friday night I will stop my life saving supplements for 4 days. Next Monday night I tuck a cup in the bathrMy Notes On Ordering Out Or Eat In Restaurants And Fast Food
At my experience on working at these places and observing employies, I myself will NOT order anything from any of those places. Sure it is nice to wear gloves while preparing foods, but have you accually notices when they make order to order? those gloves do not come off. Therefore, when it comes time to make your gluten-free foods, all the food made from the customers befor you that have gluten crumbs in them are still on their gloves. So, when you order gluten-free, your food WILL be contamina

Gluten-Free Beverages at Starbucks We can start with water: unsurprisingly, Starbucks' Ethos bottled water is gluten-free. In addition, the shops usually have some pure fruit juices that should be safe. Several bottled Starbucks-labeled drinks, including Starbucks Frappuccino, Starbucks Doubleshot and Starbucks Doubleshot Energy, are considered gluten-free to at least 20 parts per million, according to customer service. However, you should check the label of anything you're considering pRed Robin

While Domino's new Gluten Free Crust is appropriate for those with mild gluten sensitivity, Domino's and the NFCA do not recommend it for those with celiac disease. Domino's and the NFCA found that while the crust is certified as gluten free, current store operations at Domino's cannot guarantee that each handcrafted pizza will be completely free from gluten. In short, because the gluten-free crust is made in a facility where there is gluten present (like in the ovens), the company doesn't-

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)
What I liked: 1. Narrator had a good, clear speaking voice and smiled pleasantly. 2. Good practical information that was logically organized and succinct. What I didn't like: 1. Narrator was obviously reading from a teleprompter script, including topic headers, which seemed very wooden and unnatural. Almost like listening to a Joe Biden...- birthday
