Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs
Infertility and Celiac Disease
I am looking for sources or studies that help connect the link with celiac disease and infertility. I am looking to overturn a decision my doctor told me. Who can help? Where can I go? It is really frustrating to be told that I will never have kids and that is all I have ever really wanted. I have tried to go back on birth control and after three months I am still not regulated. I am pretty frustrated and not sure what to do. Who can help?
Layered Vegetable Baked Pasta (gluten-free Vegetarian Lasagna)
Now that it's officially winter I'm thinking more and more about baked and roasted dishes. And one of my all-time favorite baked dishes is lasagna. I could eat lasagna three times a day and not get tired of it, (and have!). The only trouble is getting a hold of gluten-free lasagna noodles. I've seen and used them before, but most stores only carry gluten-free- penne, spaghetti, and sometimes rotini. Not a big deal, I simply substitute a layer of penne pasta for
Second Helpings - More Specific Carbohydrate Diet Cake Recipes
Twice a year, twenty or more people on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet gather for a potluck luncheon in Southern Ontario, Canada, usually in Toronto. Over time, the roster of homemade food from these occasions has become classic. We are such a small segment of the world-wide Specific Carbohydrate Diet community, so it is flattering that our recipes rank high in popularity among those recipe sites and cookbooks that abound with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet gluten-free creations. The recipThe Celiac KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid
When it comes to technical and scientific articles on Celiac disease, this web site is a gold mine! I've been here less than a month and although I haven't read every article and blog, I certainly plan to. I've been too busy writing my own thoughts and have some about the old KISS formula, "Keep It Simple Stupid." Well, we are neither simple nor stupid; Celiac disease is far from simple. I am going to over simplify the comparison of two diets: The Gluten-Free Casein-Free diet and the SpeciLet Them Eat Cake - Specific Carbohydrate Diet Cake Recipe
Celiac disease has a long and ancient history. The Roman physician, Aretaeus chronicled the very symptoms we associate with it today and a number of historical celebrities, including royalty were afflicted. When Marie Antoinette uttered her most famous quote, she didn't have us in mind. Still it's good to know that "Let them eat cake," can be applied to us. Elaine Gottschall had her daughter treated by celiac specialist, Dr. S.V. Haas over half a century ago. She received few instructions. anNeed Bread Recipe
My son (9 yrs. old) was just diagnosed with Celiac last week. He also has sensitivity to dairy and soy. Does anyone have a bread recipe (kid friendly!) that is gluten-free, diary-free and soy-free? Thank you!
Gi Update And Christmas News
Update from the GI from last week.... Shaylin~ She is now in the 50% for height and the 70% for weight(30 lbs. That is up from 18 at this time last year ). The Dr is not so pleased that her IgG is still elavated so we get to do another endoscophy with biopsy after the holidays. She is thinking that Shaylin may not be healing correctly. Then she wants us to see a celiac disease nutritional specialist at UCSD research division after our appt with the food allergist. If Shaylin does have
Welcome To My Journal
Ok, it has been a long while since I have attempeted to journal and I figured that it was about time that I tried it again. So much of my life has changed in the last couple of years and months that I will try to sum it up in bullet points and get to the daily grind stuff pretty fast. 1. Dh and I met in 1995, got married 1999. 2. Had Serena in 6/2000 Serena had heart surgery 7/2000 3. Had Jiselle in 12/2001 4. Had m/c in 1/2003 5. Had Hayden in 10/2003 6. Had m/c in 2/2004 7. HadHomemade Foods Versus Store Bought Foods
One of the major criticisms leveled against The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is that 99% of food must be prepared at home. There are hundreds of convenience products available in markets and specialty stores for other Gluten Free diets. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet suggests homemade food is safest to ensure better results on the diet. Why such strictness on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? There are a number of reasons why on the whole, homemade items are necessary for the Specific CarbohydrateOn the Specific Carbohydrate Diet Rice is "No dice!"
Rice has a reputation as a super food. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet excludes rice for adults. Children with weak digestive systems or Autism Spectrum Disorder should avoid rice. In her book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle," Elaine Gottschall quotes Juliano (1972) "Some kinds of rice contain small amounts of amylopectin starch and large amounts of amylose starch, other types contain only amylopectin starch." Rice is a grain which contains anti-nutrients. A portion of the grain's seed system isFinger Lickin Ribs
I've been venturing out to dine a lot lately, eluding the Gluten Fiend and his cohorts, the Cross Contamination Crew (knock on wood). Devoured tantalizing ribs at Tony Roma's (all sauces & meats are gluten free) and corn on cob and potato. At Chili's (I often go there and eat ribs with no ill effects), I discovered a little trick. If I'm going somewhere afterward (the play, Atlanta-3 of 4 stars, I'd say+we saw the guy from HEROES that wrote the play there-my bf watches the show-it's too f
The Beginning - The Diagnosis
My daughter was "colicky" for 18 months - that is what the doc's said. By the time we turned to Eastern medicine, I was exhausted due to the lack of sleep, I was confused, as I had been told by the medical establishment, to ignore my instincts as a new mom, I was frustrated that nobody believed me and I was saddened that I could not hep my daughter. Then Robert, a mysteriously talented acupuncturist and energy healer. We went to see him from a recommendation from my sister, whose husband had bee
1 Of 3 Tests Not Done - Is It Crucial?
I am just now being tested for celiac's disease. My doctor ordered 3 tests - IGA, Serum; Gliadin AB; Tissue Transglutaminase AB IGA. The first and last appear to be within normal limits. However, the middle test, Gliadin AB, was not done as the lab had an "accident" with my specimen. Does anyone know if it would be wise for me to have this test done, even though the other 2 suggest that I do not have Celiac's? I don't necessarily have the classic symptoms of Celiac - just trying to determin
New Here
Ok, here goes. I am new here, and am trying to rule out some medical things for my 8 y/o son. I am wanting to learn more about food allergies. The food allergies that I am looking into, are the allergies that effect mood, not the kind that cause rashes and severe reactions that would require a doctors visit. I understand that this may not be the place for me, but if anyone has any advice, if I am in the wrong place I apologize. I am trying hard to rule things out. 1) My son is ALWAYS hungry.
Carrot Cake Muffins!
Bread of Life Gluten Free Carrot Cake Muffins are delicious! I cut it in half, warmed 1/2 for 30 seconds and put butter on it and served with hot spiced tea. Oh my gosh it was so good I wanted to eat the other 1/2! I'm glad I didn't cuz now I can have it for breakfast tomorrow. I had some gluten on Christmas and the day after Yesterday was very good 100% no gluten and so was today. I just about grabbed something yesterday and husband actually caught that it had gluten (yeah!) I m
Study Compares Results of Dietary Treatment for Autism
Parent Ratings of Behavioral Effects of Biomedical Interventions Data on adverse effects and benefits of various diets for autism has been collected by the Autism Research Institute. More than 25,500 parents filled out reports. The information was gathered from questionnaires designed to collect such information. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet had 195 subjects and scored a percentage point higher than the Gluten Free Casein Free Diet which had 2208 subjects reporting. The entire study can beMy Specific Carbohydrate Diet Favorites: Baked Pork Chops

Do I thank Al Gore for helping me understand celiac disease? Although Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet, he did discuss his role in Internet development in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Claims that the former U.S. Vice President invented the Internet are an urban legend. The Internet has played a major role in arming me with coping skills for Celiac Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Latex Allergy. I jokingly tell my friends one of my favorite practitioners iCeliac, Dieting and Body Weight
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is efficient at keeping weight stabilized once a normal weight is attained. Take my trusty Tanita weight scale before it becomes rusty. I still perch on the digital Tanita weigh scale the first thing every morning--jiggling a bit from side to side to push the number lower (Despite the fact the read-out rarely changes or wanders, bad habits die hard). Seeing the same number continues to surprise because my weight fluctuated wildly from 1944 until shortly before I3 Week Vacation
Making a list of what to cook, eat, and do for my 3 weeks off work: Order from Celiac Specialties: especially Dr. Schar's crackers and apple streudel and donuts. Buy Woodchuck Cider, Ian's Chicken Nuggets, Cravings Place Pancake mix Go to Whole Foods (far away) Find a Brazilian Restaurant Try to make Chile Relleno Make poppyseed coleslaw again Make pie with gluten-free graham cracker crumb crust Make bananas foster again Try to get rid of my lactose intolerance likeAcceptance *angels' Chime*
It's been 2 years since this gluten free segment of my life story has commenced. I think I can self-diagnose that I am over the stages of grief over the loss of my normal, carefree lifestyle. I have reached acceptance. The three year period I've read about that it takes to become thoroughly accustomed to the diet/lifestyle, seems to be correct. I still have mishaps and I still get annoyed with it. But next year (end of year 3), I think I will feel a much firmer grip on it. Much love to the-

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. -
