The Beginning, Or How Long Have I Had This?
On April 18th, 2009, I attended a friend's wedding across the country. Halfway through the flight home on the 19th (a Sunday), I was miserable. I had stomach pains, and they seemed to be mostly in the lower right section of my abdomen. I thought: Oh god, it's my appendix. Oh god, what if it ruptures? Is the change in air pressure when we land going to make things worse? I was in pain, upset, and slowly freaking out more and more. We landed about 2 or so hours later, and my hubby took m
G1, Guys, And Glutenfreelosity
Bigg Papi is what the charm on his thick, gold chain necklace reads. Take away one g and you have his license plates. What can I say? He makes me laugh. So, I took him to my friend's house to a barbeque and it was funny. I begged him to tell everyone about how, being raised as a foster kid in NY, his siblings think he has big $ out here and call him Hollywood, they always call him when there are funeral expenses in the family. He says, "I'm tired of paying for caskets. Next time we're ju
Celiac And Joint/muscle Pain?
Hi! Im new to this and new to celiac since Jan of this year, now my GI symptoms are under good control, following the gluten free diet strictly, now Ive got what seems to be like a fibromylagia. Terrible joint and muscle pain, started about 2wks ago, and has been brutal, no sleep, living on motrin-barely, wrists, ankles, both sides of body and all muscle groups. anyone have any ideas if there's a definate connection between celiac and possibly RA or fibromylagia?Help! Joint/muscle Pain
Hi, I started reading everyone's blogs in January when I was diagnosed with celiac. Since then I have been completely gluten free and have turned into a label reading lunatic. Hearing so many people going thru the same kinds of issues, pains, and symptoms made me feel more normal. Within the last 2 weeks, I started having severe joint and muscular pain. So bad in the morning was walking like frankenstein, ankles, wrists, hands, hips, everything, all large muscles so bad. Kinda looseLever 2000
My boyfriend talked to a nice person on the phone at lever who informed him that lever will state on there packages if there are any of the top 8 allergens in there products I personally use the lever pure rain numerous times a day with no issuses.But they do suggest reading the label each time you buy it because there formulas do change.They also said they would put something on there website to help people who have allergens make it easier to pick a soap.Hope they werent just saying that....
Clearasil....

You may have recently seen my blog asking for comments on my FDA petition to have FDA add rye and barley to the list of most common allergens that require disclosure on food labeling. The fact that FDA added wheat to that list without adding rye and barley is total idiocy, for as we know we are all just as allergic to the gluten of rye and barley as we are to wheat, and the omission of rye and barley causes great difficulty when shopping for food. It has recently come to my attention that my peBloating And Weight Gain Questions
I have a few questions concering bloating and weight gain. I was dignosed wit celiac disease at the end of April and have been gluten free since the beginning of February. Right when I think things are getting better and my stomach starts to get back to a some-what normal size I get glutened by traces...I usually am only sick for 2 days, sometimes 3 depending on the amount I accidentally consumed.. however my puffy pregnant looking stomach seems to stay around for a few weeks. Not only

Celiac Disease in Africa?
Let me introduce myself. My name is Lionel Mugema. I was born in a small hospital in Kigali, Rwanda in the month of June in 1981. My mother tells me mine was a C-section birth and she wanted to name me Caesar. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in Brussels, Belgium when I was about 6 years. My family ensured that all my meals were gluten-free. However, now that I am all grown up it has changed. There exists no gluten-free food here in East Africa. The little that comes from South Africa is un
A Mother’s Reflections of Raising a Child with Celiac Disease
Yes, it would have been more appropriate to celebrate Mother’s Day with this post, but ironically (or is it coincidentally) the job of being a mom has really prevented me from preparing this post before now. On this Mother’s Day, I found myself thinking back to all those times during Emma’s illness, subsequent celiac diagnosis and eventual permanent lifestyle change where the Mom really came out in me, both quietly and ferociously. Here’s my list starting with before diagnosis and goes chronol
Gluten-Free Fast Food
You deserve a break today! You just might not be getting it at a fast food restaurant. Most fast food places are very slow in getting the gluten-free picture, while some are slowly coming around. Following is a list of some fast food joints and their allergen info. Feel free to contact the individual restaurants for more info, and to bug them about providing gluten free items.

Planet Celiac: Pasadena Celiac Convention May 2nd
My lofty expectations for the Celiac Conference were met! It was AWESOME! People just like ME! Vendors cooking and catering to ME, and chucking copious samples my way. (I did have to spit some in the trash, but there were some very tasty morsels as well.) Doctors delivering diatribes about dx and diarrhea and DQ8 and disease and deflated villi and developments in process for protection against gluten. I enjoyed the clarification and question-and-answer sessions with those docs. A formal,Celiac.com Thanks Elisabeth Hasselbeck for Raising Celiac Disease Awareness
Very few people have the star power that Elisabeth Hasselbeck of ABC's The View commands, and among those who do have it even fewer put this power to positive use. Over the past two days Elisabeth has openly discussed celiac disease and the gluten-free diet extensively on Open Original Shared Link, and on Open Original Shared Link. Elisabeth's appearances are timed to promote her new book: The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide, which is now a national best seller. I have no doub

Little Rant. Lots Of Pain.
I have been lurking here and learnt so much with still much to go, what a wonderful site My story truly began forever ago with what my mother called, "Teddybelly". I waded through my teens with anorexia, ADD sort of symptoms and later, wild weight changes over the years. I am 38 now and in retrospect my twenties seemed quite calm on the health front. It all really began at 33 when my belly was swelling and being commented on in the street! Usually asking if I was pregnant. At 34 I h
Tattoo Reactions?
Due to the major weight loss that i am going through( i have good from a size 8 to a size 4 in 2 months), i am thinking of getting the Tattoo's that i have always wanted, (stars on my hips). But i wanted to see if anyone has had celiac reactions from getting tattoos? is there anything in the Ink that i would need to watch out for? i do not suffer from DH (yet) but if anyone have information about celiac's getting tattoos i would love to hear it! Thanks!!Any Good Bread Recipes Out There?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good bread recipe? I haven't had any luck finding a nice one yet... the flours I have right now are: White rice Arrow root Corn flour But I can buy some more if I need to. I also cant have eggs..which I made a replacement but It doesn't work for egg whites..Celiac Wake-up Call...and Recent Gluten-free Foods From My Brave Boca
My celiac group leader's brother died of celiac complications a couple weeks ago. It's sad and it brings to mind how seriously we have to take our treatment, which is our gluten free diet. Today I read the thread here about Joe C, the rapper who died of celiac. It makes me so somber. I wish celiac was diagnosed quicker and more accurately, before it reaps so much damage. I agree with other post-ers, that it would be great if celiac had a relatable famous spokesperson. At least Elisa-

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:

Which Fast Food French Fries are Gluten-Free?
Sonic changed their fries to breaded so their fries are not gluten-free and tots have the risk of cross contamination from a shared fryer. -
