So Unfair

Our lives revolve around food. The selection of ingredients, the preparation, the clean up, these activities take up a large portion of our everyday lives. Our very survival depends on our food intake. For those of us with food allergies, thoughts of food become almost compulsive. We can't eat this, can't eat that, can't eat there! See this, want that, can't have it. So we obsess and plan and hoard our gluten free products with rabid looks in our eyes. Luckily, we live in a world where, for m

Positivity

Being positive in a negative situation is difficult. It's hard to find the glass half full, the silver lining, or the clown that isn't scary! However, it is necessary when dealing with gluten allergies. We all have those days where we feel down and wonder "why me?", but we can't let those days beat us down. In order to be healthy all we have to do is not eat foods with gluten. Too simple? Maybe, because it IS hard to do. Especially when we are accidently glutened. We can however pull oursel

Vacation Bliss

Nestled in the rolling hills and mountains of Vermont lies literally the sweetest little factory imaginable. It is the Ben & Jerry's Factory, and my family and I were lucky enough to be able to go there this weekend. Never one to pass up an opportunity to eat ice cream, especially Ben & Jerry's, I was ecstatic. After a short tour of the facility, and an education on how their delicacies are made, patrons are then given a sample of their glorious ice cream. The best part? There was a lis

Get Over Yourself, Rachael Ray!

All I can say about the Rachael Ray Cookbook, 365 and No Repeats! (written in a slang-laden, simplicity-encouraging, style that caters (pardon the pun) to User-Friendliness), is that RR has forgotten a few things now that she's ubiquitously uber famous: We don't have sous chefs to chop, dice, and julienne everything, so it doesn't take only 35 minutes prep for us- that timing planner box is WAY off! We don't have people to handwash 3 pots, a pan, and a Baking Dish for one meal After we just

Gluten Free Rice Krispies Treats, Camping, And Other Tidbits

I made the gluten free Rice Krispies Treats and my friend and fellow blogger, Katja, made her own souped up version. Read more about what we made and view pictures Open Original Shared Link. I also wrote what happened when I brought them to the potluck.

Gluten Addictive?

Did you know that Gluten can affect the receptors in the brain the same way Opium does? I didn't. It makes sense however, who of us hasn't sat down to a fabulously crafted pizza, or a bowl of pasta and felt that lethargy come on? It also explains why gluten / wheat products can be addictive in their own right, making it difficult for those of us who absolutely know, we KNOW we can't eat them, and yet we just can't help ourselves sometimes. After the last time I made the mistake of thinking one

Gluten Allergy: What It's Really Like

I see a lot of stories about Gluten allergies, but none tell the real story. What it's really like on a daily basis to have a gluten allergy. Most people think, Oh well, if you don't eat it you must feel fine. Not so! We may feel better, but it's a constant battle. We have to be ever vigilant against the threat of cross contamination, of wheat being in our cosmetics, (cosmetics! How insane is that?) of slipping up and having "just a little", of bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or nausea, of sk

Be Careful!

I am astounded by the amount of foods and products that either have gluten, or wheat flour added to them. Even the delicious salads from restaurants, you know the ones, with the adorable little bags of nuts they give you to sprinkle on top gleefully? Those nuts are coated in wheat flour. Why? What could they possibly add to make nuts better? The answer is that they sweeten the nuts with a nasty little mixture of honey, and sugar and other chemicals designed to "enhance the flavor' and the flour

Gluten Free Weight Loss Breads

I am so happy to have to started my blog on Celiac.com. Since I have started my gluten free diet one of the most important things is to find a bread that is not filled with starch and white rice. This was so important for me so that I did not gain weight when making the complete change to be gluten free.   THe problem with so many breads today is they are packed with potato starch and tons of carbs. Over the next few months I will be researching low carb gluten free breads by many different b

Gluten Free Living, Southern Style!

Ok so it has been 6 months since I SELF-DIAGNOSED....no help from my Dr...oh its just IBS. UGH! Moving on.....I have lost 50 lbs and still losing.

Wyden, Leahy Letter Asks FDA For Gluten-Free Food Standards

Expected Four Years Ago, the Standards for Gluten-Free Labeling on Foods have Still Not Been Released Washington, D.C. – After more than four years of inaction by the Food and Drug Administration on their statutory requirement to finalize standards for gluten-free labeling on foods, U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) have sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret A.

The List of Ingredients People THINK Have Gluten, but Really DON’T

Learning which ingredients are gluten-free and which are not, takes some time and patience. Within the first few months you learn a lot of what you need to know to live gluten-free. But there are a few lingering ingredients that it took me a while to digest, remember and even accept they are gluten-free. Here is a quick list of items that really are gluten-free even though there might be something out there that makes you think they aren’t. Vinegar

How Long To Gluten Challenge?

I know 2-3 months sounds rough. That is why I've never gone back and challenged.   You got me curious. I'm linking abstracts for you, as they're publicly available but I checked full text for two of the papers as the challenge time length wasn't in the abstract.   Here is an article showing median time to relapse in children with gluten challenge with a low amount of gluten is 13 weeks.

Celaic And Oats

As far as oats, the scientific consensus is that while most celiacs can eat uncontaminated oats safely, a few cannot. Across studies, some people have dropped out of oat studies because they felt unwell, and one had a biopsy-proven reaction. There are also immunological measures that suggest minor reactions in some people. What's recommended in the literature now is that celiacs eating oats be followed with blood tests to be sure they can tolerate them.   Here's a link to two abstracts of r

Blue Cheese

If you're ultra-sensitive, there is the blue cheese question too. Many blue cheeses are 100% naturally gluten free but some artisan cheeses have the mold culture started on bread. There is still no detectable gluten in the finished cheese so even the cheeses with cultures that were started on bread are safe for almost all of us. If you're unlucky enough to react to distilled alcohols or other grain-based products that also have no detectable gluten it's something to be aware of.   This is a

Chronic Pain.....anyone?

I was just diagnosed if February with celiac disease. I have had all the typical classic symptoms through out my entire life, so you can imagine the relief I felt when there was finally an answer to what seemed to others as my chronic ailments and complaining. Im currently doing well on the diet. I was working with a sports dietitian from the Olympic Training Center in CO this past fall which is what oddly enough led to my initial diagnosis.
