What To Eat/
So apparently I've had Celiac since I was about four or five. That's when I began to show the symptoms anyway. Since then I was generally healthy but would get sick and be in and out of school. Now I know I was living with all of the side effects from the nausea, digestive pain, delayed growth, tooth decay, dizzy spells, constant infections, brain fog etc... I was tested for anemia and mono in HS but both came up neg. It was not until I moved to College that my extreme weight loss and fatigue bHawaii Bound
My first child has flown the nest. She is moving to Hawaii. I drove with her to California so that she could ship her car from there. Then I flew home by myself. I can't go in her room yet. I know it was past time for her to go, but it still hurts.No Harina, Por Favor
Boyfriend sends text message to me at work last (rainy)Friday: //Do you have a valid passport and can you get Monday off work?// So, we fly to Cancun that night and have a great time! (His bday weekend) We crammed snorkeling, zip-line riding over the jungle canopy (I'd seen it on the travel channel and was dying to do it), rappeling, bicycling, kayaking, hiking, Mayan ruins, etc. all in one weekend with a long flight from CA to the Carribean!

I would like to thank Scott for the opportunity to create a blog on Celiac.com. I am a mother of three very small and rambunctious boys, the oldest of which (5) suffers from wheat and corn allergies, the delayed intolerance kind. He developed a tic disorder after his preschool vaccinations last fall and the symptoms gradually worsened over the next six months. We had all kinds of tests done and visited many doctors before we finally had allergy testing done. This was when we discovered the rootDoes Celiac Cause Sensitivites To Rx's?
Has anyone out there found a link with celiac and allergy-type reactions to various medications? e.g., I take hormone replacement meds since losing my thyroid to cancer. I can only tolerate a tiny dose because my body reacts like I'm allergic to the medication. I've checked and double checked - there is no gluten in any of the fillers/binders. I also find I cannot tolerate antibiotics and a variety of other medications, e.g., severe allergic reactions to Vicodin. Would love to hear from youMargaritaville Orlando Gluten-free Menu!
For those of you looking for Gluten-Free Restaurants I have GOOD news!! Margaritaville in Orlando is very close to rolling out there GLUTEN-FREE menu! Even though its not quite out yet, Chef Dan has been preparing gluten-free meals by request. I have been extremely fortunate to have partaken in his gluten-free master pieces and they are AMAZING! From pastas to burgers he's conquering the gluten-free world. I highly recommend you go and try it yourself. Let me know what you think and howDoctor Issues...
For the past three years, I've been having weird breakouts on my elbows. Some medical professionals told me that it was most likely a skin reaction, and not to worry about it unless it spread. This August I noticed it on my knees as well. This started my doctor chain. I first visited my family doctor, who sent me to an allergist. I went in for a scratch test, but nothing reacted like my breakouts (I did find out that I am mildly allergic to grass and dog dander, but can still have a dog). AfterGators, Taters, And More
No fried alligator for me! I really did want to try it, even tho it probably tastes just like chicken! My mother and I cooked our own Thanksgiving for Two. She was upset that I said I hate Thanksgiving. My brother is allergic to poultry, so it's not like I'm the only one who doesn't like this holiday. So we made it "our" way. We loved it. My mom didn't have ANY bread! She ate a gluten-free muffin Kinnickick Frozen blueberry- and she liked it. She couldn't believe the texture was soI Had A Sammich Today! :)
Ever since Thanksgiving, I've had a mad craving for turkey sandwiches. Not just any old craving. A MAD craving. One of the local grocery stores carries both Kinnickinnick and Glutino breads! Woot! Lightly toasted two pieces, added some thinly sliced leftover turkey, a little salt and pepper, and (ok I cheated on the sugar) some cranberry sauce. Left off the usual slathering of mayo because I'm trying to watch my fat intake. Ooooooh! It was goooood! I ate it all up! Not goinPlzzz Help
I know there is a very large chance there are any in the area but if there are please feel free to post if you canNew To The Gluten-free World
Hello! On Monday, my 3.5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease . . . and so we are new to the Gluten-free world. This has been an overwhelming week for our family, but each day seems a little more manageable since I am beginning to learn all about the Gluten-free diet. Any "beginners" info, advice or comments would be welcomed. Will it be easy for her as she grows? Do you know of any lunch meat or hot dog brands she could have? Any restaurants where she will be able to eat?Freak Cold
I'm home from my California T-giving holiday. I survived. I'm really bummed, though. I haven't had a cold/sinus infection/flu or anything like that since going on the gluten-free diet almost four years ago. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it actually has something to do with gluten. Anyway, I was beginning to think I was immune and was never going to have another cold again, which was a thrilling thought. I was feeling somewhat invincible and smug. So, no cold for almBad Food This Evening?
ugh, feel awful this evening. I've been fighting a sore throat for two or three days and have a bit of a cough. We went out to a movie this afternoon (Enchanted, cute) and I ate a little popcorn, then we went to a new Hong Kong Buffet. OMG, my stomach is so upset and I can clear a room with no effort I don't know if it was only the carbs or if there was wheat in the food. I tried to eat things without the sauces and stick to vegetables and unbreaded meats but there HAD to be something thereFirst Gluten-free T-giving
Well, it's here. This will be my first holiday season going gluten-free. I took on cooking the thanksgiving dinner for 11 so I could control the gluten. That's really easier in some ways than going somewhere else. My family has been good about accommodating me, but it's hard to trust that someone else's cooking is not cross contaminated. My sister's OK, but my mom does not get it at all! All she keeps saying is 'you can't eat anything anymore.' Well that would be true if I ate like she doeBarley Challenge, Paranoia, And Other Musings
I wanted to find out if my reaction was to just wheat or to gluten. Decided to do a barley challenge to find out for sure. Had a teaspoon of cooked barley last night. Had some lightheadedness and very minor reflux, but otherwise ok. No bloating, no pain, none of what I had with the wheat challenge. Will probably take a couple of days for everything to work its way out (so to speak) but so far so good. Some minor tummy problems this morning (belching, slight hearburn, repeating), but not baGluten Free Wed/honeymoon
Hi. I just got engaged and my fiance and I are considering a run away to the beach wedding/honeymoon. Does anyone know of a destination that would be friendly to my gluten free needs. It would be a most awful time to get glutened. Any advice or thoughts on this matter would be welcome! Thanks, Amy gluten-free 1 1/2 year in PittsburghBad, Mad, Sad Thanksgiving
Well, Thanksgiving is almost upon us and for the first time in my life I'm dreading it. It's my favorite holiday, one in which I've almost always spent with my parents, brothers and sisters, and their children. For the last 15 +/- years they've all come to my house for the holiday. Our numbers have dwindled somewhat because of children growing up, going to college, getting married and my oldest brother moved to FL so they haven't been able to make the trip the last two years. My husband'sInpired In My Bed
I woke up before the alarm this morning and a silly little poem shaped itself in my mind within a couple of minutes: Back 2 Front, Front 2 Back, I'm hundred percent celiac. It rules my life in many ways, Cuz getting glutened means pain for days. Grocery shopping, dining out, or being a guest, Are incredibly stressful events, at best. Poke and pick, Pick and poke, Living a gluten free lifestyle is no joke!Foods I Can Not Handle
this is to update my "discoveries" this last month or so. I definitely can not handle milk or cheese. Cottage cheese doesn't seem to bother me though. I can NOT handle potatoes at all. The pain in my back and the bloating in my upper left rib and back area is horrible. I, of course, can not handle wheat at all. And carbonated beverages are out. So, the bad food list is this: gluten milk cheese potatoes carbonated beverages I'm not sure about corn....still testing that onGrocery Shopping - The New Adventure
So here I am, spending most of tonight surfing the web and printing out gluten-free product lists, ingredients to watch out for, recipes, meal plans, etc.... Yeesh! I'm beginning to feel guilty about the number of trees that died in the name of "Safe Shopping" and the need to fill our bellies. Hope the 3-ring binder is going to be big enough. The last time I hit the grocery store, I was so overwhelmed. Hardly bought anything. Figured I'd go in prepared this time. It seems like foo-
