Where To Get A Straight Answer

Hi Well I'm new at this, my first time and I'm not sure if I doing this right .... My kids would get a kick out of this if they knew I was writing a blog... I have just been diagnosed like so many of you. I'm learning, and getting a bit tired of not getting a straight answer... I'm trying to find out what products are safe. I think I have the food thing down pat, but struggling with the shampoo, makeup, hair dye stuff. anyone have any suggestions.

If This Is Exciting Enough To Write About, Imagine How Boring The Rest Of My Life Really Is

So, here I am 2 weeks past the self dx and 5 weeks gluten-free altogether. Still not feeling fabulous, but better. Have more energy and I attribute that to the B12 supplements. I've been actually getting up off my butt and doing stuff around the house the past few days. Its nice to be able to do that without having to stop and rest every 5-10 minutes. Also think my semi-annual house purge has been kicking in. Gotta get all the extraneous junque out of the house and get it thoroughly cleane

Sandwiches At Last

Well, I am happy to report that all of the food I bought at the gluten-free store is good. The Glutino crackers are excellent. They're a cross between a saltine and a Ritz. The bread, made from amaranth flour is pretty decent, too. Not like wheat bread, mind you, but good enough to enjoy. And the Glutino cereal tasted sort of like a mix between Honey Comb and Captain Crunch.   So, I can't remember the name of the bread mix that I saw on-line that prompted me to go to the store, but I need

Yay Bread!

My mom and I were going to try to make a gluten-free potato bread, but when I went to Meijer to go get the stuff to make it (xanthan gum is expensive!) I found that they sell a lot of gluten-free stuff! One golden find was Open Original Shared Link. I may buy a case online, since one box was $5.49 at Meijer. All of the ENER-G rice bread went out to the birds and squirrels...though most of it was still out on the lawn when when we left! It'll be interesting to see if it's still there.   My gran

Hello Everyone

I don't know what to say except that I did a search on google out of desperation for some sort of connection between asthma and gluten. I found u guys...........   I am new at this but I was disturbed to read that some people do not believe that there is a connectrion between them.   Let me assure you that I have been one of the worse asthmatics and sinus suffers for over 53 yrs. This included every drug on the market that came out to help. I have been under oxygen tents, lived on larg

Random Thoughts

Ok so I was at Walmart a couple of weeks ago and was looking at the rice cakes, which are like stale cardboard (but since I can eat them I love them) and ran into a lady who's daughter has celiac as well. It was really amazing, I had never met anyone with the disease, other than myself of course, and being new to North Carolina, she gave me some really good advice about where to shop. I know she will probably never run across this, but I just wanted to thank her for all her help and great ideas,

No Birthday Cake

Detective tried to track down a bakery that would create a gluten free cake, so we wouldn't have a box-cake or a frozen one. I finally helped him out with the name of one, and even that one said they needed 2 weeks notice! What are they gonna do...order it from the midwest where all the good stuff comes from and then pass it off as theirs? Gimmeabreak! So I have brownies that my almost-sister made me. Great brownies, but still not a birthday cake. I don't want to bake my own birthday cak

All Gluten Free

While browsing the on-line gluten-free store, I came across a site that gave the name and address of a local store that sells a certain bread mix. As an aside, it said that the store has freshly baked gluten-free bread. So today I decided to check it out. The place is called Delicious & Fit (stupid name if you ask me). Anyway, I was a little confused when I walked in because the store front was actually a small restaurant. When I enquired about the products, they directed me to the back

The Constant Search For Bread

I'm not buying online....yet. The girls at work (one with Celiac, another with a severe wheat allergy) have said that there's all kinds of places in the area that sell gluten-free foods, so I'll exhaust my local options before going online.   I toasted the Ener-G brown rice bread this morning, and ate that with some peanut butter and jelly. It was slightly better...only slightly. I'd say it was more bland, and it seemed to shrink. So, it was filling, but tasted like cardboard. Lunch was a Trad

Is All Wine Gluten Free?

I was wondering if someone could help me. I am still learning about the do's and don'ts of this disease and thought that all wine was gluten free. Last night I had two glasses of Yellow Tail chardonney and woke up at 12:30 AM in so much pain I actually vomitted. This is not the first time that I have had this reaction to wine. Can someone tell me if there are only specific types of wine I can drink? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Grocery Shopping As A gluten-free Dieter - The Bread Fiasco

I should have paid closer attention to posts on the message boards. Apparently, the Kroger that does sell bread by my boyfriend's house sells the Ener-G brand and nothing else. I was craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich last night (something which I used to absolutely hate, but now crave quite regularly), and decided to buy some gluten-free bread. I got the brown rice variety (they stocked tapioca and white rice, too), and when I got home and made my sandwich, I was slightly appalled. It w

The Support I'm Finding Is Amazing

It's getting easier. But then again, it's only the 3rd day. But having a completely gluten-free day yesterday, I realized how much better I felt. I wasn't as gassy during the day, I had more energy, and I wasn't rushing to the bathroom (well, I was, but that was because of all the coffee I drank, not because of something I ate!).   While I haven't been diagnosed as a Celiac, I'm beginning to think that I might be, based on the more I read and all the symptoms I fit (to be truthful, I was worri

Day One

I've never been good with diets. I get going strong for a few weeks, sometimes I've held out for a month or two, but then I fall back and go right back to all the foods I love. So, I've decided to ease into this one. There are still some foods in the house that I bought for me, which I will eat. But it will be so hard to give up some thing food I really adore - like bread, and pasta. And while I know that there are gluten-free forms of these delicious foods, it's still going to be really hard.

Chicken Nuggets

Latest find: Ian's Chicken Nuggets (at Henry's Market) YUM! I dip them in gluten-free bbq sauce Latest flub: bf talked me into buying gluten-free cookies and when I ate them, I couldn't believe how good they were...so much so that I became suspicious, and--they were the regular kind. They had been right next to the Gluten-Free kind and somehow I must've put the wrong ones in the cart. ugh. I waited anxiously for the impending doom, but it was mild, no gastro symptoms, only back and leg pain

Testing Starbucks

I'm a big fan of Starbuck's mocha drinks. My favs are toffee nut mocha frappuccino and when it's cold, I like to drink a cafe mocha from time to time. Hmmm, the last two times I had one, I noticed that I got really bad diarrhea within 12 hours of drinking them. I was beginning to wonder if they had gluten...or something that was making me sick...maybe too much lactose? Anyway, I decided to test it. I went for a week without any. All is well. So I had one a few hours ago and am fine so

My Poor Son!

I took both of my kids to the doctor the other day. I told her that my GI doctor highly suggested that I get them tested for Celiac since it is hereditary. I was thinking if either of my 2 boys were positive, it would be my youngest. My oldest son's tests were all within normal range. My youngest son's tests were: IGA 176 (Greater than 31 positive) IGG 107 (Greater than 31 positive) Endomysial titer 1:320 (Normal none detected to <1:10) TGG AB IGA 26.3 (Greater than 7 positive)   Wa

Going To The Hospital

Had my blood test done yesterday and cat scan because of some other complications. It turns out that I also have a bad case of Diverticulitos and they are admitted me to the hospital today. They gave me some antibiotics in hope that it would help with the massive pain and infection, but it has done nothing so they are admitting me. Hopefully it wont come to surgery, but at this point I wouldn't be suprised. I should know the results of the Celiac blood panel on Wed or Thur of next week. The Doct

Chowdah

It was my first trip to New England and I went to Boston, New Hampshire, and Maine. Aside from paddling kayaks (boy, am I still strong!), riding the subway, railroad train, ferries, and water taxis, kissing by lighthouses, getting Witchy in Salem, Mass., and generally being a tourist, I ate at several gluten free establishments recommended by someone on the site. The results were so-so. I ate at Legal Seafoods in the Boston Logan Airport and this was the BEST! They had gluten free menu and I

October 9, 2007 Hubby Goes In For Testing

hubby is getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy? so they can check for everything. He's been having trouble still and didn't heed their wheat-free advice a few years ago so he gets to go thru the process all over again.   I'm doing really well now. Got glutened on Sunday and went thru digestive hell all day but it's much better today. Yesterday I ate straight protein and vegetables and that is so much easier on my body. I even feel like I lost a little weight! I did have a protein shake th

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

We all have our secrets, some big some small, some we would like to share, and others we just want to hide away from. Bolts come out of the blue when least expected and can have the most profound effect on you. Sons are for keeps and sons keep me going, I would hate to think where I would be without my sons, all four of them. I would like to think we are close, but I would like to be closer. Life is pretty interesting and life can be tough, but life is what it is all about, and the streng
