While my relationship is still heaven on earth, my delectable detective has been nurturing me through my latest health slump. I don't need ear surgery (no fluid), but the specialist says I have TMJ, which is caused by stress and my high-strung personality. I do not grind my teeth (like many TMJ sufferers), however, I do clench my jaw when I'm stressed (I'd never really noticed until I made an emergency pitstop at a gas station only to find an "out of order" sign on the restroom door, and realSept 7th 2007
well. hellos to everyone. i guess i had a rough day. not much to say. ha i rhymed. well loves to all just checking out the blog .::STARGIRL::.Confused About Celiac's?
For most of my life I suffered from what was thought to be Celiac's. I had all of the symptoms, but tested false. After years of testing and diets, the doctors gave up. I lived with horrible intestinal pain, sometimes to the point of bleeding. I was always having diarrhea and gas, I was completely embarrassing. When I would eat I would get dizzy and sleepy. Sometimes, I would get so sick I would go the emergency room as I thought I was dying. After, a few hours I would be fine, except forMussels White

I was diagnosed with celiacs about 6 years ago. At first I tried the diet for about 4 months, but gave up. I am exremely under weight, and never really finished puberty. I recently found out I have a petuitary tumor. Is this connected to my celiacs?!? I know this is the reason I never grew to full potential, being almost 23 years old Im kinda stuck this size. But after vigerouse research I never found any connection between the two. My celiac symtoms are just constant upset stomach, I getKidney Stone!
OUCH! I had a kidney stone attack on Monday. I don't think I've ever felt such pain...maybe childbirth, but this was different. It was a sick pain with no end in sight. At least when you birth a child you know it will end and something good will come of it. The pain started at about 10:30 in the morning. It was a sharp pain like a muscle spasm from my bladder down my urethra. I thought it might be an extra bad bladder infection, so after a while I took some aspirin and an AZO.Restaurants And Social Life
Hello again. It's been a while since I've written. I live in a land where seasons change and summer's way too short. I've been busy enjoying life outside and away from a computer (at least at home.) Work's another story. I've been diagnosed for five months now. In some ways it feels like yesterday and in others like lifetimes ago. It's still a day-to-day adjustment. Challenging situations present themselves each day. I realize that this will never end and sometimes it gets me down.Back In The Saddle
I was watching Men In Trees (rerun) and the Asian lady said her husband has a "gluten allergy" really casually right in the dialogue and it fit right in the storyline. It was SO COOL!! I realize most celiacs know it's not an allergy, but that is a word the general public understands. Also, I went to Rubio's Baja Fresh and the guy at the counter pulled out an allergen list and told me to keep it, he brought out the marinade container (without me asking) to let me see the ingredients, then hadToday At Work
Let me see. Today started off quite fantastic. I had a slight hangover from the wine last night but it was over shortly. At 10:30 am I was approached by Stan in Sunglasses to tell me that Brandy C had come in with her breakfast and clocked in and then sat down and ate it for the next 30 minutes. He was doing some ranting and so I went upstairs and saw Brandy in the GSM office hanging out still and it was 10:45. I told her that her associates were looking for her. She goes downstairs and thFantastic Bbq Sauce!
My husband loves to BBQ, so you can imagine his disappointment when he was first diagnosed with Celiac. We thought we'd be limited to grilling sans A1 or any other store-bought sauce. So I began experimenting. Finally, I developed a combination that pleased everyone in the family. Plus, it's delicious on ribs, pork chops, chicken and even certain steaks. It's sweet and savory, spicy and a little smoky. Give it a try ... Ingredients: 1/4 cup of olive oil 1/2 cup of honey 1/8 cGluten Free Cosmetics - Please Help..
Hello - does any one know of any brand name cosmetics that are gluten free?? (Example: Foundations,Lipsticks, ect...) ThanksGluten-free Cooking For Everyone!
My husband was diagnosed about two-three years ago with Celiac disease. Since I love to cook, and I'm told that I'm pretty good at it (besides being genetically pre-disposed though my Italian genes), I viewed the situation as a welcomed challenge in the kitchen. However, the outlook didn't appear as optimistic to my hubby who thought that his favorite pastime -- eating -- would never be the same again. Actually, it isn't the same. But I'm happy to report that can still enjoy many of hisNew York Times Article On gluten-free Restaurant

July was terrible for me last year and it's the same again this year. Where to begin...well, amazingly enough, I can make an entire LIST! 1. I didn't get the promotion at work. 2.

All,Seems an odd thing for a person who works as a writer and video director to be finding a home/blog spot on a website dedicated to a disease. Celiac "disease" however is a syndrome with multitude of symptoms, is widely mis-diagnosed and largely untreatable. Other than avoidance of gluten, the white-coated inDoctrinates of the pharmedical system can offer nothing beyond the masking of symptoms with expensive, dangerous drugs. They have no interest in us once we are diagnosed as the lack ofNew Celiac- Am I On Right Track
How long does it take for the symptoms to go away so you know youThe Company That Could Care Less...
I am SO incredibly frustrated right now with one particular skin care company that I may end up screaming. Oh what the heck, I AM going to scream, "AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH"! Well, that was mildly cathartic. So here's the deal. I am the manager at an upscale day spa in the San Francisco Bay Area. We carry three skin care lines and one makeup line in my office. These are both retail and professional lines. The Monday after I was diagnosed I went into work and called thLiscense Plates And Mother In Laws!
I have spent the last several days working, taking care of the kids, and helping out with my mother in law who had a mild stroke last Sunday. No jokes about how she is trying to poison me with flour today...it would probably be in poor taste! On a positive note though, I got a package this morning from my mother (she lives in a different state). In it was a liscense plate frame for my car. I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard. The top part of the frame says "Seitan" and the bottGluten Filled Tuesdays!
Ah Tuesday...the day of the week that my husband and kids look forward to the most. Why, you may ask? Easy, it is what my son calls their "Gluten Filled Tuesday". This is the day of the week that the three of them go out and eat whatever they want for dinner and do not have to worry if it is safe for me, or if there is anything on the menu I can eat, and to indulge in the things that we just don't get at home anymore. For instance, last week it was deep dish pizza. Tonight, it's Chinese.Ugh! Contamination.
Let's see, it is 12:30 in the morning and I have to be up and bright eyed and bushy tailed for work tomorrow morning. Why am I up? Because I have stomach cramps that are making me feel like I am about to give birth. Since 7:00 last night. At this point I find myself praying for D...at least then it will get out of my system and the flipping cramps will stop.

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:
