What A Beautiful Autumn Day!
Ah it's thursday and that means tomorrow is Friday which is my day off! Woot! I love fridays...but then friday's mean that saturday and sunday are coming. I work saturday and sundays and my boss is a jerk. I think he likes to pick on me and my crew. Not cool and I'm getting fed up with it. We have a meeting tomorrow and if he brings up one more little picky thing about me and my crew, he's going to hear a mouthful from me. I can't take it anymore. Him and the rest of the full timers thin
1st Official Blog
I've been real frustrated lately. This past weekend I ate all gluten. 4 pieces of pizza and 2 chalupas. I know, I know I should have had any but I was at work and needed to eat or I would have passed out. I figured as long I was glutening myself, why not go all out. Well that was more than a week ago and I'm still paying for it today. Dumb. Well I've been real frustrated lately and kind of down. It could be because I glutened myself. I find myself being jealous of those that have beeWhat Is
Hi and welcome to my first post on my celiac.com blog!<br><br> I have been researching gluten free diets for almost a year now and have made a number of videos as well as a as a PDF report you can download below. These videos and my report are aimed at bringing awareness about gluten sensitivity and celiac disease to as many people as possible.<br><br> My second video 'What is "Gluten" and What can you do about it' can be found here:<br> Open Original Shar
Feedback for: When Mistakes Happen, Focus on Comfort
Hello all you Celiacs, I posted the article, "Open Original Shared Link", with the best of intentions, but the feedback has been pretty controversial, taking me completely by surprise. Obviously these recommendations are not going to help everyone. Anyone who knows anything about Celiac Disease knows that the array of possible symptoms varies tremendously. I am also unhappy that people seem to be trying to one-up each other on the misery scale, and that needs to stop, please. We should all
I'd Rather be Gluten Free
After explaining to a friend the prescribed action for celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance—a lifetime avoidance of gluten from wheat, barley and rye—I am often met with the sympathetic reply, “that must be really difficult.” As someone living with severe gluten sensitivity, I know that most days it’s not so bad, and only occasionally do I rush starving into a convenience store voracious, in search of any allowable snack. Though ultimately, I, like most would still a
Beginning (valpara
This entry is just a little something about me and where I am right now. I intend this blog to keep myself honest about the gluten-free life and perhaps learn and teach through my journey. I was diagnosed gluten intolerant by my family physician when I was 15 years-old. Before that I was always sick with sinus infections, canker sores, if a virus was going around I got the intense form, ovarian cysts at the age of 13, which included UNBELIEVABLE PAIN! The cysts went away but the pain stayed
Strict Diet
If you are gluten free and on an Interstitial Cystitis diet, you are not alone. I'm also allergic to soy, dairy, and nuts. Sometimes I want to scream because I miss out on so many good foods. But now that I'm healing and feeling better and better, I realize that a strict adherence to the IC diet and avoidance of my food allergies is critical to my health. Here are some ideas if your diet is similarly restricted... 1. Avoid going out to eat a lot. I find that eating with friends can some
Celiac Disease—Is it Karma or Just Bad Luck?
I was born and raised a Catholic, yet, upon my diagnosis with Celiac Disease, I began to question the theory of Karma, and whether or not it does in fact exist. In Eastern Religions, through the laws of Karma, the effects of all deeds actively create past, present, and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one’s own life, and the pain and joy it brings to them and others. I have wondered many times - why me? Why do I have Celiac Disease? Then the answer smacks me directly in the f
Flaming Arrows, Pitchfork And The Excavator
What? Why? What for? How come? Seriously. Why is it that when I get even the slightest bit contaminated my entire body overheats? Thank the stars that doesn't happen often.. The feeling is similar to that of an army of soldiers, marching into this thing I call a body and shooting flaming arrows until everything catches fire and the structure (me) collapses or runs for the nearest water source.. I mean really.. is all that necessary? Is there a particular reason my temple aka body,
M.Y.O.B. vs the Desire to Help: Does Concern Ever Win Over Respecting Privacy?
As a Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance Nurse/Educator, I help people regain their health by learning to follow a gluten-free diet. In doing so over time I have become so familiar with every manifestation of Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity that I can often recognize symptoms in people at a glance. Perhaps you can too. You know, the fair-skinned Celtic or blond Nordic types, with a butterfly-rash on their faces, or dermatitis on their hands, elbows, or legs, a general puffiness in theirSides Of Me...
Gluten-Free Me... ...gives Mucho Kudos to Chex Cereal (recently gone gluten free) for listing an informational blurb on the side of its box now that explains celiac disease as a "multi-symptom autoimmune disorder...estimated 1 in 133 Americans suffer from...", and it goes on to list a celiac website and has the logo for the Celiac Disease Foundation. ...got to participate in a luncheon at work! It was "build a salad". I can't say I liked it that much. I like expensive stuff, like spinach, r
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to a Haircut (Gluten and the Beauty Salon)
My last visit to the salon left my hair dresser quite concerned. While combing out my wet hair for cutting, she noticed that several small red bumps had just popped up on the back of my scalp. The rash-like bumps were not there before my shampoo, which to me made perfect sense: gluten in the shampoo. But to her, was a new concept: sensitivities to hair products. I did a quick investigation by recapping the ingredients in the shampoo and conditioner, and my suspicions were confirmed:New To Blogging... Confusion Has Settled In!
so i'm very new to the whole blogging world... i'm a bit hesitant b/c although i was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago, i feel very much like i still don't know what i'm doing! it's like when you're sitting in a classroom and the teacher asks if there are any questions but you're so lost, you can't even begin to formulate a question... that's kinda where i'm at! i have so many things i would love to get info on - maybe if i kinda bullet them out it would help organize my own thought
You have Celiac Disease
The day I heard those four words, my life changed forever. No, they were not “will you marry me?”, yet I fondly remember that. They weren’t, “you're having a baby”, although that was the happiest moment of my life. The day I heard those four words, was the day that I realized life is full of ironies, and not in an Alanis Morissette kind of way. It was the day that a simple statement nearly put me into immediate carbohydrate withdrawal. Those four words were, “You have Celiac Disease.” SerioInterstitial Cystitis and Gluten Intolerance
I have to admit to being overwhelmed with the response to the article on Gluten Sensitivity and Bladder Disease. Thanks to everyone who wrote in, here and to me personally. The article has been picked up not only by Celiac sites, but by sites that support people who have Intersititial Cystitis, and that honestly thrills me, because it doubles the number of people who have the potential to get better by going gluten-free. Today I met a naturopath who said she had just seen the first publishedFarmer's Market Response to Gluten-Free Demonstration
I did my first two farmer's market demonstrations this week. Here's what happened. In Lake Oswego on Saturday, Sept. 6th, I woke early and carted all my stuff to the market, set up, and proceeded to make gluten-free waffles, with fresh peach sauce and coconut cream - gluten, dairy, and sugar free. They were yummy. I also made some chocolate chip waffles for the kids. While I spoke a little about the gluten-free diet and it's importance for a growing number of folks, almost the entire crowdFinding effective and 100% natural products
Finding effective and 100% natural products that perform up to my standards was already a challenge, so naturally, finding those products that are also gluten-free was no easy task. In the midst of all my searching, I wondered if I was simply being silly. Since going gluten-free in my diet, my skin had vastly improved, my rosacea was hardly noticeable, and the annoying acne that had begun to plague my back and chest a few years prior was gone. I did notice that gluten-containing shampoos aToo Busy
We've been working on our farm and trying to get the house ready to move into. The remodel took longer than expected, mostly because we found termite damage when we took down the thirty year old paneling and had to rebuild some walls. We hope to move out there permanently within the month and are really looking forward to it. Driving back and forth between our houses is very tiresome...not to mention, expensive! I write about farm life on my other blog. If you're interested, you can
Hospital Celiac Menus
Hi..as you've probably already noticed....I'm very new to this....and I'm having a heck of a time doing this...but maybe this time I've done it right....I dunno but here goes! I recently was hospitalized for another ailment I have been fighting for years...infact the same time I was diagnosed with COPD (emphazema) I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I am one of the ones with little or no symptoms of celiac disease except for this time I lost 36lbs in about 30 days I went from 140 to 104
Celiac Disease - Recovery Support
It's been a while since I had the energy or time to sit down and focus on writing or blogging, but I'm back. I also find it interesting, from a physiological perspective, that after being gluten poisoned two months ago to the day and being so inundated with sickness, pain and trying hard to feel better, along with doing more Celiac research and being so focused on my stomach, that I seemed to have needed a little break from "all things gluten free." I think that sometimes living with a chronic i
Electronic Edibility
I broke down and paid $30ish for the downloadable gluten free food list. Last winter I got a used palm pilot online for $30ish, so I could try out this program and see how much easier my gluten free life could be. So, now that I finally did it and have been using it for a month or two, I'll tell you how it is. It's not too great. It was quick and easy to download. The palm is easy to use. It lists restaurant foods, too. The foods listed show whether they have gluten or not, how they wereMy Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Cooking Classes
