Celiac Symptoms Confusion

I am new to this forum. I have been diagnosed with Celiac for 5 years after so many tests...I also have DH. I am following my diet 100% Two years ago I realized that I cannot tolerate milk and soy, so I cut all milk/soy products. I went to get tested and it came out negative. I stayed on my diet (Gluten/Milk/Soy)because I was scared to go back to milk and soy...I felt better for some time (7 months or so). Now, again I started getting reactions.   My symptoms now: (I had the same

Does Stress Make It Worse?

I realize this is more of a question than a blog... but lately my stomach has been in knots and terribly upset. It was my mom's birthday over the weekend, her and I are on terrible terms due to her lifestyle. I think that is why my stomach has been so terrible. I know I haven't eaten anything with gluten... but it seems like I have after I get done eating (even if it's a banana) does anyone know what is going on?

Perioral Dermatitis And Celiac

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October 2011 and have managed to come up with a great routine to manage it. However more recently I was also diagnosed with perioral dermatitis and am having a very hard time managing this. It has been two weeks and my husband and I are trying so I have not taken any prescriptions for it, I have eliminated all soaps, shampoos, etc that have gluten or sls and have been applying apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and using yogurt masks but it's still evide

Where do you want to eat Rich?

Where do you want to eat? This is a very common question that we all are asked everyday but to those of us who suffer from "Celiac" its frustrating and complicated. I always end up having to explain my new life without gluten, and I will admit that it becomes tiresome but its another side effect of the disease. I have done research on where and what I can eat when we go out to dinner with family or friends. A lot of places do offer gluten free menu options, even some fast food chains but from my

Celiac And Red Face

I have had celiac for 2 years. However, I am finding that I am having issues with my face and eyes. My facial skin next to my eyes and mouth gets swollen and red. After that, it becomes very dry, itchy and begins to scale. I feel like a snake shedding its skin. Does anyone else have a similar situation???

Not Sure If It's Celiac Or A Brain Tumour

Hello All,   I am quite new to the world of Celiac Disease. I am currently in the process of having my blood tested and I have to wait until March 16th to get the results. (I am currently living in Vietnam and they had to send the tests away). That means almost 3 more weeks to wait. What I am experiencing now is frightening the daylights out of me. I am not sure if I should keep waiting for the blood results or go to the doctor for a CT scan of my brain. I am hoping that someone who has

I Want Candy!- Gluten Free Valentine Kinds

Don't be a downer. St. Valentine's Day is not a Hallmark Holiday. This holiday has a sociological value and psycho-emotional value of lifting the winter doldrums and inspiring people to be romantic, thoughtful, and profess their love. Plus, there's the candy! Open Original Shared Link candy is almost all gluten free. I'd observe and ask about cross-contamination, but I'm planning on getting some! My faves are trinidads, turtles, and carmallows.

My Blessing

I have a new appreciation for the fact that my diet has had to be modified. Without the need to analyze what I am eating, the revelation and reality of what I am eating would not have occurred. I was a person always conscious of healthy eating habits, so I thought. Delving into the world of food has been a very frightening and eye opening experience. Being forced to read labels has taught me to be more cautious and buy from the fresh and organic sections of the market. We are inundated with chem

We Are All Celiac

Our bodies contain the same DNA as our ancestors from 6-10,000 years ago. Grains were introduced ~ 5-6,000 years ago. Hybridization has altered grains such as wheat, rye, spelt, barley. We do not have the DNA to break these grains down in our intestinal tracts.   Europeans discovered that when they used a 'sour' starter culture, which broke down the gluten, then they were able to consume the bread w/o gastro-distress. Dough starters actually increased in potency over time, as family recipes we

Just Starting Out

This blog is going to be my documented journey into a gluten free lifestyle; and my way of keeping myself responsible and accountable to myself. I love to cook and create recipes. As I do, I will add them with my blog so anyone who wanders in can use them.   Some time ago (I don't remember exactly when) I started getting a runny nose and a cough while eating ice cream. Some time after that it was yogurt. I thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. But the funny thing was I didn't have those

Pot Roast Recipe

My pot roast:   I don't like adding a bunch of liquid so I choose a crockpot where the meat fits snugly. I usually use my 3-quart crockpot because I try to get a smallish chuck roast. Brown the meat in a skillet if you have time. Put the roast in the crockpot and pour in a little red wine so it comes to the top of the roast. If the roast fits snugly in the crockpot this will not be more than 1/2 cup. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle on 1/2t dried savory and two cloves of minced garlic.

      Well how about that!

      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.
