Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

It's Just One Cookie!

My first blog takes me back 5 years ago when my youngest daughter started her freshman year of high school.  She had been diagnosed Celiac  for 5 years at this point, by now I was sure my daughter had come to terms with her restrictive diet.  She was happy-go-lucky Madeline, ever smiling, always positive, living every day with joy. Little did I suspect that the social acceptance of being a young gluten-free teen was secretly troubling her and it was about to burst forth in a profusion of tears a

Newly Diagnosed In March-Swallowing Issues

I am a 56 yr old male who was recently diagnosed in March by Endo,Colon and Blood Test. My Blood work was 249 but I have gotten it down to 23. I have been staying on a strict gluten diet and now I am having Swallowing issues. Went back to my Gastrologist and he stretched my Esophagus and said it was due to Muscle Spasms in my Esophagus. He put me on Blood pressure meds which I questioned. This caused more problems with legs swelling which I have never had high Blood pressure and did not at the t

This Is How The Story Always Starts Right?

Since this is my 1st Blog, I thought I'd share a little bit about me and my "off-colored" sense of humor (some people use the words morbid, inappropriate, shocking, wonderful, etc...) to help everyone understand why I might say things. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2013. It was a long road of mis-diagnosis and frustration. I just happened to get an amazing Gastro Dr because he was the one on call on a particularly awful trip to the local ER. My Dr himself has Celiac and is a very good s

Chex Gluten Free Instant Oatmeal

I noticed that Chex has come out with a gluten-free instant oatmeal and tried it out. Don't know if it is a coincidence or whether they contain the gluten that doesn't like me, but the 2 times I tried it, I have had the cooks 2-step. I usually eat Bobs Red Mill Instant Oatmeal or GlutenFreeda and haven't had any problems with those brands.

Lots Of Blood Tests

So...   Oncologist doctors and Licensed Naturopathic doctors are still not respecting each other in this valley at least. Doesn't surprise me. I the client am in the the middle. It's like a tug-o-war game really. One person says this, another person says that. There is absolutely no reason under the sun why a oncologist doctor can not respect nutrition. There is equally no reason why a Licensed Naturopathic doctor can't speak with the oncologist doctor before referring a patient.   Yup. That

Endoscopy - R/o Esophagitis, Check Up On celiac disease

Well... yesterday I had my second endoscopy performed. My GI doctor wanted to check up on my small intestine to see how its healing, as well as check my esophagus to rule out eosinophilic esophagitis. He took multiple biopsies and said my SI looked atrophied but otherwise I looked good. The combination of versed and demerol is powerful and I did not remember much of the discharge except for the fact that I Don't think I was ready to be discharged I was so out of it.

Let's Talk About It - Gluten-Free Oat Production

GOOD FOR THEM! The Gluten Free Watchdog is really working for the Celiac Community. Gluten-Free Oat Production is into the stage of "Purity Protocol vs Mechanical or Optical Sorting". They ask us if it is important to us, and of course it is. I love oats and have been severely restricted from eating them. My specialist said not to have the OAT CHALLENGE until I had been totally free from a celiac outbreak or dermatitis herpetiformis for at least one year, and I never reached that golden year. Th

The little dude is 3 weeks and 10 lbs. already Which is fast. He's smiling, making valiant efforts at holding up his head and frowning at everything that is perplexing. Very cute stuff. So far he's breast feed 90% of a full 24 hours and the other is formula (similac "advanced" formula). The similac supposedly is suggested as a gluten free on this site by people who have looked into it, but the can does not say gluten free.

Excessive Exhaustion, Possibly Cancer Again?

A lot has happened since I last blogged.   There are obivous reasons for me being tired; I have two kids under the age of 3, I'm a celiac, I've got hypoglycemia...yadda yadda. There are not so obvious reasons; chest pain at night, ache down the arm, lymphnodes swollen up neck (Cat scan confirmed), noduel on thyroid (cat scan confirmed), scar tissue in left cerebral hemisphere (MRI scan).   My only concern is the swollen lymph nodes. The experience with lymph nodes was non hodgkins lymphoma.

Tears In The Grocery Store Again.

At the grocery store the other day, I checked out the meats. I noticed a package of turkey breast, which I use to frequently buy before I found out I had allergies to it. I absently passed on by.. I got a few feet away and stopped dead. "Wait" I told myself; I can have turkey! I turned and took a couple of steps back. Oh, right, I thought as I turned away again, but what fun are turkey nuggets without breading? I haven't had breading for months. I walked away. "But wait!" I got almonds back and

      FWIW, I have a friend who has Crohn's Disease, and had surgery for it when he was younger, but doesn't want to take some of the prescription medications to help him deal with ongoing symptoms. I told him to look into hookworms treatment.
