My Story

"I'm sick but I'm pretty." I was always told not to complain because I had it good compared to my autistic cousin and aunt with Cerebral palsy. Agreeing with this I suffered year after year silently as I could imprisoned in my own body knowing something was wrong.   So here it is about the real - sick - me. If you take the time to read this I thank you. There are several stories on this board that have been truly inspiring. I hope I can do the same for at least one more person!   I ha

Personal Story

Hello, everyone! This is the first time I've ever posted anything. The following is an exerpt from my final research paper for an English class. Let me know what you think.   Around the beginning of the summer, I started having intense stomach cramps after almost every meal. I have always had lots of food intolerances (bananas, papaya, poppy seeds, eggs, pineapple, spinach, broccoli, you name it), but I was not eating any of those, and I did not know what was making me so sick. Food that I lov

Actual Results

Hello Blogland.... After a bunch of self research, I asked my doctor for copies of my test results so I can see exactly what he meant by "gluten intolerance". When I looked at the numbers I was VERY confused because it said my Gliadin SIgA was 7 Negative. I immediately posted a question and Korwyn from this forum responded saying that since my total IgA Serum is extremely low, it will affect the Gliadin number and may not be correct. So I guess that's good ~ for a minute I thought my docto

New Diagnosis

Some of you are very lucky to be diagnosed early. i have suffered for 46 years only to finally find out I have celiac disease. i have had so many doctors think I am a hypochondriac.....because i don't really show the intestinal symptoms of celiac......just other symptoms. i have felt badly for 46 years! mind you, i have slowly cut a lot of foods out of my diet on my own because they did make me feel badly, so going on the diet isn't difficult for me, but didn't know if there was a common link be

Curious About Cross Contamination

I've been reading online and on this forum about cross contamination and I'm wondering how serious I have to take this. I haven't been gluten free long enough to know if having flour in my kitchen is going to be hazardous. You see, my husband loves to bake ~ pies especially. Now I have very good will power because I really want to get better... so they are not tempting for me to be around... I won't eat any. But I'm curious if I could get "glutened" by being in the kitchen while he is making

Feeling Better Than Yesterday

I broke down and charged a new air conditioner yesterday. I was too hot, and I'm just a wimp... I swear, the heat makes me a different person. We put it in our daughter's room and put all the fish tanks in there (otherwise we'd have fish soup!) so now we have one room nice and cool to sit in when necessary. Plus it's keeping the whole house a little cooler (95 inside 104 outside). Sorry ~ this may not be the place to write about the heat... but it turns very physical for me. My intestine

Doctors Appointment

Went to the GI doctor today. I am not sure that it was worth going or not.   He is going to do a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. When he does the endoscopy he is going to do some biopsies also.   Thankfully enough this doctor does not think that I am making all of this.   However he did say that he does not think that I have Celiacs. But he still wants to look and make sure.   I am just confused.   By one side I am told "you have it" and the other side "you don't have it". It makes

Crazy Heat

It's 12:30am and my house is down to 89 after a day of record highs (106) in Portland today. My husband is tired of hearing me complain. The heat really zaps me, and my feet are so swollen they hurt to walk on. It's making me super emotional, and I've been breaking down crying off and on all day today. Not so good at cooking when it's so hot, so I didn't eat much today and so I'm feeling a little woozy right now... and of course, I don't think I have anything in the house that is ready to

It Took Forever To Figure This Out! So Many Symtoms!

Hello, I am a new member. I have never written anything publicly before, but I want to share my experience on this board because I now know what is wrong with me! Here is my story.   I haven't felt well for years. (As long as I can remember!) I am early 40's. As a child I had terrible allergies. I would swell up in huge red welts, rashes, asthma attacks, throat closing, all kinds of scary things. I NEVER felt well even as kid, but I was taught to be "tough" and I was, so I rarely complained

Not Happy

Ok obviously I am not sure what I am doing as of yet.   But I have got to vent. I went to a doctor's appointment this morning. Obviously this doctor did not know the first thing about celiac disease.   This doctor just sat and looked at me as if I had totally lost.   He had the nerve to tell me that I had made all of this up in my head. This was after the fact that I told him I was diagnosed with celiac disease as a young child.   Eventually I lost my cool with him. I told him that I

Great Family and Friends to Support Your Gluten-Free Diet!

Good Morning All! Well as good as it can be considering it is Monday. I have to tell you all how important a great support system is when it comes to celiac disease. As the only cook in my house for my husband I cannot tell you what a blessing it is to have friends and family who help you with this chore of love. We had a party to attend on Saturday and my friend went out of her way (it was her daughter's 13th b-day party) to make my husband the best pasta salad he has had in a while. We a

A New Language...

Being this is my first blog entry here, I'd like to give a bit of my history so as to explain how I got here in the first place.   I'm 40 now, and was just diagnosed Gluten Intolerant by my naturopath from stool samples, and bloodwork. Then I came right home and started my own research... that is how I found this space. I'm not sure if I'm a true "celiac", but I was told I was born with this.   That makes sense to me too... as a kid, I was ALWAYS nauseas with lots of rumbly tummy aches.

Gluten Free Vacation

Well, in less than a week I'll be going on my second gluten free vacation. My first one was to a camp. I had only been gluten free for about a month, two months then. I brought along a good deal of Ziploc bags filled with stuff such as beef stew, chicken, rice, and peppers, and a variety of breakfast foods. The camp nurse was wheat free, so she knew something of what I could and could not have. So that week I lived almost purely on beef stew and chicken and rice ...and some desserts I had broug

Fished Out.

All fished out, yes that is right! Me being the fisher queen who could wolf down buckets of the stuff and now I stare through the glass counters and require the fish to turn tricks in order to thrill me or at least be presented on an elegant platter with a carved carrot lotus by an award winning Japanese chef. Moving on to poultry now, oh how i crave protein and luscious tender morsels of something er goatish. I couldn't eat a goat, no clue why but I feel goats are a bit sacred yet we shall see

Is There A Difference Between Celiac And Fibromyalgia

A little bit about me. I'm 45 yrs old, 5 ft, 2 in at 205 lbs. I have always been overweight and have always felt bad. I can remeber being 8 yrs old and crying to my mother because I was in pain and my stomach hurt a lot. Hardly any energy, diareah, always felt tired, cranky. My father was one of those types, if you wern't bleeding or had a limb pointed in the wrong direction nothing was wrong. His word were always, "Get Over It" "Nothing but laziness" "it's all in your head." Finally got to th

My First Post. My Life So Far With Celiac.

Today is my first day of blogging. I would like to give an introduction of myself, and my life so far with Celiac disease.   I was diagnosed at 19, in May of 2009. I had been feeling this symptoms since July of 2007, and was misdiagnosed for two years. I was told by a girl named Kasey Martin, from an organic store around here, that I should check for Celiac disease, as she had the same thing.   So, I did... And I feel so much better!   Three days ago, I got GLUTENIZED!!! OH NO!   This is

Eat Out at Your Own Risk

It's been a while since I penned a blog entry for this site and it's been something I've missed. I intended to post something in June, but the gluten-Gods had something else in mind for me, and on June 20th I was seriously gluten-poisoned while eating out at an Italian restaurant - and have been suffering the serious physical and mental consequences ever since. As much as I love home-cooking, I certainly also enjoy a nice meal out and the social life that usually accompanies dining outside the

Open Original Shared Link Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Going Out to Eat on a Gluten-Free Diet

Good Morning all, Sorry I have not written in a few days. We have be busy like all of you. Friday night my husband and I went to our favorite place to eat (since the diagnosis). Pizzeria Uno. The most fascinating thing happen. We were sitting there eating our food talking about what else, G-free eating, when all of the sudden the couple sitting in the booth behind ours said "you all are eating gluten free?" As it turned out her husband was diagnosed with many food allergies including

      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:
