Getting Started On Gluten Free

Been feeling bad so long. Bones and muscles ache. Hands shake and head wobbles. Tired. Never enough sleep. GI trouble and GERD. And I've put on 5 pounds I can't shake. After being brushed off once more by doctor who says all blood tests are normal.....I decide to try gluten free. After all, every time i eat anything made with wheat flour I need to take an anti-acid. Sometimes it works. So, I decide one day to go cold turkey and give up wheat, rye, and barley. The hardest part is the french br

Restaurant Mayhem

So the other day, my dad was sworn in to be a Utah attorney. (Cool Experience to see by the way). My mom calls me the day before, "Oh yeah, honey, we're goin out to lunch before hand. We were going to try the Restaurant at the Joseph Smith Memorial building. That okay?" So I hesitate, because it wasn't on the list of safe restaurants that the Celiac/Gluten Intolerance Support Group for SLC put out. So my mom and I once again get into a discussion about how strict I am being. (She thinks I

Life's Going On...

I haven't been on here in a while. Since that time ... ...I'm in my last half of highschool. I'm a junior. It takes up some time. ...Pooky is now 9 months and defying all rules of Down Syndrome. But then, our family's just generally contradictory. ...there have been many birthdays, and almost all of us can claim to be yet another year older. Yes, I'm one of them. Yesterday I celebrated my technically-15-but-still-feels-like-I'm-14-th birthday. My third gluten-free one. And the third one in w

A Cute Story I Had To Share

So I should probably explain in advance that I am highly intolerant to fish and possibly other seafood... (Not sure on the latter as I aint never tried it) The worst fish for me is tuna fish, especially when it is that canned stuff. Its strong stench alone is enough to make me throw up, hence I cannot be in the same room with it. Normally I hide in my bedroom until the stuff is completely cleaned up and scoured clean. And yes I mean scoured. My mom used to think rinsin the plates was good enough

Grr... Some People Just Dont Get It... I Dont Have A Choice...

"Are you still gluten free?" What in heavens name are you thinkin? I told you yesterday that I was gluten-free for medical reasons. Ye think I really would give up suddenly? "Yes I am." "How long you been gluten-free?" I got no idea of how long its been no more... "Uh, since October 1rst" "Two weeks! Wow. Are ye gonna do this the rest of your life?" "Most likely." Didnt I just say I was doin it for medical reasons? If I feel better I aint stoppin no time soon. Besides, I aint got a choice.

Carob... The Chocolate Alternative

So some people on this forum suggested I try carob, since I cannot eat chocolate. So today when I went to the Whole Foods store near my apartment for my normal grocery shop, I discovered carob ricemilk. I thought that would be a good way to ease myself into chocolate. And if I did react to it, hopefully it would not be so bad because the ricemilk would dilute it. Guess what. NO REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes me so happy. Of course maybe it was a horrible idea to try it, becaus

Ugh...i Hate Gluten

Gluten is everywhere. Why? And of all places to get Glutened... it was at my own house. From potatoes. Sure, they were the instant kind, but I shouldn't have trusted them. They are in fact made in a facility that I know produces wheat. And I'm sure that flour would fly throughout the air in that sort of place. The thing was, the bag had no gluteny ingredients listed, and the only allergy information on the package was "May contain traces of milk." And we wanted to finish that bag, because

Chocolate Is My Enemy

So yesterday was my first time having chocolate in months. I made chocolate cookies that were gluten free. It was absolutely delicious, but sure enough, my body didn't like the chocolate. I hate that I can't eat chocolate. Its everywhere and in everything I like to bake. But yesterday, I just HAD to try it. I was miserable after, and I am miserable now. Chocolate why do you have to be so mean? Its not fair. Everyone around me loves you, which is why I bake with you. I love making peop

Another Day, Another Destiny

Well, I told my doctor about going gluten free and how good it makes me feel. She didn't say much, but she did essentially that I am gluten intolerant. Well, great. I'm official. Gluten intolerant. Strange, it sounds so weird to say I am officially diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I have an official diagnosis of fish intolerance too. Well, that's it. I'm crazy intolerant. Who knows what next will show up that I am intolerant to... Casein? Dairy in general? Who knows. But well, for now

A New Day

Well, I just heard back from my doctor. She is really nice. She offered me advice on even how to drop out of my class. And from the sound of things, I think she thinks it is an excellent idea. She also told me to up my anxiety medicine. Well good. That makes me feel better. Maybe I will be finally feeling normal. She also suggested that I start taking a this drug that will help with my anxiety attacks. Supposedly I take it when I have "severe anxiety flares." And hopefully it would hel

My Insane Anxious Ramblings And A Need To Destress....

I am feeling an insane need to destress. Not that I am doing as much as many of the people here, but with my severe anxiety, no relation to my gluten intolerance, I feel completely stressed out. I work at least thirty hours a week, more often than not more than that. For which I am recieving no benefits because I am hired supposedly as a part time employee, even though in reality I am working full time. It is a horror. Not that I have a horrible job or anything, nor am I bad at it, nor do I

The Grand Beginning

Every journey starts somewhere. What is it that makes us begin? Perhaps a smile, or great despair? Maybe, it's something you can't pin.   Every dream comes from someplace. Why do we imagine within? Is it hope for unending grace? Maybe, it's something you can't pin.   Every hope dawns from something. How do we find it in this din? Concern of what future will bring? Maybe, it's something you can't pin.   Every journey starts somewhere. Maybe, it's something you can't p

My Celiac Story

My story begins nearly 4 years ago.   I had suffered from stomach pain for several years before being diagnosed. Doctors treated me for gallbladder disease, ulcers (though none were found) and I underwent a procedure where they look inside your stomach and small intestines called and endoscope, sounds worse than it is.   I went on a low carb diet to loose weight. I was feeling so good, the stomach pain was almost completely gone, the rash that my Doctor told me was eczema (that seems to be

A Decade of Determination Pays Off

This will be my shortest blog. After a decade on The Specific Carbohydrate Diet, I am once again able to eat occasional moderate amounts of restricted sweets and starches with no apparent consequences. Since my celiac disease was never formally diagnosed, I cannot claim it is curable or was cured but it is now six weeks since I resumed eating foods I have not had in ten years as well as foods purported to be cross reactive with Latex Allergy. Ultimately I decided to be ver

Diagnose Or Self Diagnose?

Daughter was just diagnosed with Celiac's Disease. I stopped going to the doctor for me to get her diagnosed as it is a long process and many different doctors and doctor appointments and time off work and copays etc. I know it's genetic and I am sure that I have it and so does my mom even though never diagnosed....Do I now try and eat gluten again and get a diagnosis? Is it worth it? The pain? The sick days the NO LIFE?   I realize that diagnosing her officially was necessary due to he

Spanish Rice Made With Chicken Bouillon Ruined A Baby Shower!

New to be being gluten free and went to a baby shower. Passed all the processed foods and was so happy to see Spanish rice. After a few minutes from eating my tummy started that all too familiar pain starting to creep in. Over heard the lady who made it saying she added chicken bouillon to the rice and knew that was it. I thought well, I'll stay calm and use my brain power to keep me in check at least until presents begin to be unwrapped or a game starts. NOPE, went to restroom, was mortifi

More Choices than you think for Gluten-Free Food at Target Field

You may not be enjoying the gluten-free food to it’s fullest at Target Field. The brand new home for the Minnesota Twins is complete with a gluten-free concession menu, but I’ve tracked down additional, more kid-friendly items that are gluten-free and — so far — aren’t on the list. This list posted on my website has been about 5 months in the making. I actually started drafting this post with a different title and all back before the first pitch of the

New Beginnings

While spending my year in Korea, I created a blog to document my experiences. It was soo much fun. Now that I'm no longer in Korea, I miss creating blog entries. I decided to write about food. Since I love food and love to cook, why not help other people. Obviously, all my recipes are gluten free. Some people think that eating gluten free has to be expensive or maybe they have no idea what to make. This is where I can help.   Open Original Shared Link   It's brand new and I'm thin

The Grill of It All

Everything old is new again, at least it is in my kitchen. The neighbor passed along a lovely little George Foreman grill she had no interest in and although I can't take photos, text or place phone calls with it, the shiny little white griddle looks fine next to the juicer and food processor. It cooks a range of foods in no more than ten minutes and they are done on both sides with the juices dripping into a little tray placed at the front. Pluses: The food is juicy, cleanup is relat

      Well how about that!

      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.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      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:
