Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs
Mexican Food... Pizza... Oh Help!
So on Saturday, I finally succumbed to my pizza cravings. But I didn't make it homemade like I should have. I bought it from a local restaurant that assured me that it did everything to ensure it would be gluten free, from changing gloves to washing hands, to putting it on its own special tray. Sure enough, glutened... Yeah. Shoulda known. (Not to mention I have a bad habit of trying gluten free restaurants on saturdays, which is bad because then I get glutened and am down for sunday. I ha
Update: The Big Day- First Trip To The Gastroenterologist
The doctor's visit went really well, I think. I am so thankful to have the GP that I do and that I am in Houston right now with some really amazing medical care. My GP sent me to an absolutely wonderful specialist who's been in the field for 40 years, I believe, and seemed incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He didn't want to say I had Celiac/Coeliac just yet, which I can certainly understand and respect since I haven't had any tests yet (although part of me was kind of hoping fo
The Big Day- First Trip To The Gastroenterologist
Here it is- the big day, or at least it is in my opinion. I am hopeful that after years of trying to figure out what's wrong with me, I might finally have an answer. Not only would it be an answer, but it could explain all sorts of those little random things that you don't think matter or could be connected to anything. I wasn't supposed to get in until the first week of January, but I had to call last week after not being able to eat for 2 days to see if they could please call if and when thCalifornia Firm Recalls Raw and Ready-To-Eat Pork Products Due to Undeclared Wheat / Gluten
L&R Fine Fashions, Inc., a Garden Grove, Calif., establishment, is recalling approximately 2,182 pounds of raw pork paste and ready-to-eat fried pork loaf products because they contain an undeclared allergen, wheat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Wheat is a known allergen, which is not declared on the label. The products subject to recall include: 11-ounce packages of "KIM LOAN GIÒ SÔNG PORKElisabeth Hasselbeck Wins The G-Free Diet Book Plagiarism Lawsuit
I just saw that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has won her lawsuit that was filed against her by Susan Hassett. The U.S. District Court in Massachusetts could find no evidence that Hasselbeck had plagiarized Living With Celiac Disease by author Susan Hassett when writing her book The G-Free Diet. Open Original Shared Link, and am happy that Elisabeth won. Some people believe that any publicity for celiac disease is good publicity, but in this case I disagree. Hopefully Elisabeth still has theTalked To My Bishop (Update On My 'a Few Good Phone Calls' Blog)
I heard back from my bishop. here's a link to the blog I posted about when I first talked to him. https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/1461-a-few-good-phone-calls/ He said he did talk to his DIL, she says she takes the smallest peice of bread on the plate.

My Neighbor Just Brought Me A Cake..... Oy Vey...
You know how the grocery stores/ bakeries donate any unsold bakery items to charity?? (trust me, years ago, I benefitted from this a few times). My neighbor (who doesn't know I have a gluten/ dairy intolerance... I haven't told very many people). Anywho, i guess she was at a church today, and they had some of these items. (why she was doing something that could probably wait is beyond me...it snowed 7 inches overnight...) anywho, she picked up this cake & came by & gave itThe Link Between Celiac Disease and Bladder Problems Becomes Clearer
For the past two years I've been busy writing something called, "The Better Bladder Book - A Holistic Approach to Healing Interstitial Cystitis & Chronic Pelvic Pain". IT is now OUT, AVAILABLE, and thankfully, getting GREAT Reviews! This makes me very happy, not because I'll make a bundle (I won't), but because people who need help can now find it. IC is a terrible disease affecting up to 8 million people in the US alone, but millions more suffer from chronic prostatitis, over-active-bladder
New M&M's Label Now Says "May Contain Wheat"
Update from Sarah Ann Harwick 12/03/2010: "Because we seemed to be getting different answers from the MARS company, I decided to call back and speak with a manager about the recent "may contain wheat" warming I found on the Mint M&M's. Only the Mint and Speckled (both holiday specials) are produced on the same lines as the pretzel M&M's, and although they do clean the lines between production, there is the possibility of cross contamination, which is why they now haveNew Huffinton Post Article: Gluten Sensitivity and the Impact on the Brain
I am very encouraged to see that the Open Original Shared Link has written a new article on gluten sensitivity and its impact on the brain. The new article is correct in pointing out that gluten can have a severe impact on certain individuals who are sensitive to it. Hopefully this article will be covered by other papers around the country, as it is very important to convey this message to as many people as possible. I've been writing about the gluten-brain connection for many years on thisAdventures In Gluten Free Cooking... My 1St Attempt At Gluten-Free Chicken Pot Pie
A couple days ago, I happened to catch part of Dr Oz while flipping thru channels, and they shared this recipe: Open Original Shared Link I thought, 'ohhh that sounds good, I can probably adjust it to gluten-free'-- i mean, it's *only* the crust that needs to be changed (never having made pot pie before, didn't realize they use broth & worstershire sauce). i went to Winco for most of my Thanksgiving shopping today, and found gluten-free chicken broth (Pacific brand).

Well at least I feel like it is killing me. And no, it ain't one of my intolerances. I wish I could say it was. At least ten I would feel better sooner... But no... Its a stupid, infernal cold! Just as I was starting to return to normal, I caught my husband's cold. And I feel like I got it worse than he did. Between the coughing fits that result in a lot of gagging since I cant throw up very well, my lost voice (which by the way never happens), my cold chills and a fever that I am sure is only bTaking The Gluten Out Of My House
My computer illiteracy is hurting my head...I'm not even sure if I'm blogging on my own blog or I'm making a comment on my blog as myself right now...oh well, I'm not exactly dumb I just have a life outside of my computer and have never bothered to figure it out. Yesterday I spent the day freeing my house of Gluten. This was particularly hard for me. I'm sure it's hard for everyone, but I spend a lot of my free time cooking, baking from scratch and just coming up with recipes. I designed
Doughnut Shops Are Evil :)
I drive for a friend who is visually impaired. Today, on the way to her work, she needed to go to the bank. After the bank, she wanted to walk across to the doughnut shop next door & pick up a couple doughnuts... can you where this is going??... She can walk from the bank to the doughnut shop okay...normally when she needs to go to the bank, I don't need to, so I stay in the car- if she wants to go to the doughnut shop from there, she can & will... but this time, i needed to cash somMy Introduction
Hi, I'm Becky, I'm 34 years old. I live in Western Idaho. The main parts of my story are in my siggy, but thought i'd share here, too . Spring 2004 i was dx'd w/ hypothyroidism (at age 27. (i remember going online after that & reading that some Drs wouldn't even test a person under 30... I'm sooo glad the dr i had at that time didn't buy into that crap!)). Some of my symptoms went away, the constipation, weight gain, tiredness did not. Fast forward to oct 2006--- i had heard that weightValuable Lessons Learned From My Battle With Mr. Anxi Ety
So on friday I had a severe panic attack, and no one was around to help me. I should explain that I have been working close to, if not more than 40 hrs a week the past few weeks, and I am supposed to be a part time employee. No benefits, no overtime, no nothing. Plus I have a messy house that I cannot even walk in. Dishes are piled a mile high. Laundry is three weeks overdue. Nevermind my expensive food, car payments/insurance, rent, hospital payments, registering a broken down car which iNice Neighborly Duty
Ok so yesterday I had some of my neighbors come visit. And it is a well known fact that I can no longer have gluten in our apartment complex. But apparently it is less well known that I can't eat chocolate. (Probably because I don't make a huge deal of it. I just dont eat whatever has chocolate.) So strangely said neighbors decide to bring me treats... Gluten free brownies. Now how can I resist eating that? They were soft and gooey...

Hopefully, I will be better at keeping this up to date. I think now that it has been over a year since I was diagnosed, and I have spent A LOT of time, energy money and resources on this disease, that I am educated and experienced enough to offer assistance to those who may feel lost right now.

Cooking Gluten-Free for Celiac Family or Friends? Please read this first!
Well whether we like it or not, the holidays really are upon us. Many of us are already thinking about Thanksgiving dinner — some may be contently planning knowing they’ll be cooking their own gluten-free dinner, while others may be “white knuckling” it until Thanksgiving, worried they’ll get glutened by a well-meaning friend, family member or co-worker. I, myself do not have celiac disease, although my daughter and brother do, and my dad eats gluten -free,
Milk Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast Now Contains Wheat Starch
This just in from Jodi Walen: "I just wanted to let you know that tonight I went to go buy my daughter the Milk Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast. As always, I read the label every time. Sad to say, this time the last ingredient listed now states 'wheat starch.' I can't tell you how upset I was to read this. Their website as of tonight does not list this as an ingredient. I have emailed the company. Please pass this on." Let's all contact the company andDr. Peter Green and Elisabeth Hasselbeck Featured Tonight in Piece on ABC News Nightline!

Been feeling bad so long. Bones and muscles ache. Hands shake and head wobbles. Tired. Never enough sleep. GI trouble and GERD. And I've put on 5 pounds I can't shake. After being brushed off once more by doctor who says all blood tests are normal.....I decide to try gluten free. After all, every time i eat anything made with wheat flour I need to take an anti-acid. Sometimes it works. So, I decide one day to go cold turkey and give up wheat, rye, and barley. The hardest part is the french br

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 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
