Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

A Long Time....

I have a website Open Original Shared Link that tells my story in a nutshell...but I want to start at the beginning and end up where I am today! I am still having issues BIG issues! I have had surgery (I'll get into that) as a result of the celiac disease, and I'm still not done! Talk about poor health! You live your life thinking things will get better then BAM poop happens! I want so much to have a normal life again...I say normal cause I know I've changed and I don't like who I am now!

More To Come!

I just found this forum again after almost a year of lost hard drives and computer crashes and anything else that could go wrong! I plan on getting active again and getting the information I need to live my life properly, without resorting to eating foods I'm not supposed to! Over the next month I plan on updating my web site - Open Original Shared Link - to what I have learned to date, however, I will keep it as simple as possible because when I was diagnosed I couldn't find anything I could

First Thoughts

Well, I am new to all this gluten free stuff. It is a little overwhelming. No, a lot overwhelming. I got my results from enterolab back on 2/27/07. I have been reading up on this and trying to decide what foods will be safe to eat. Was feeling pretty confident until I learned I am also casein sensitive. That throws a wrench into things. I LOVE cheese. Milk not so much or butter. But I know there is hidden milk in a lot of products. I am going "home" in a week, and can't ask my sister t

Celiac Pride

Hello, my name is B and I've been gluten-free, against the grain, doin' it "celiac style", and oh so "special" for just over a year. YEP. Went to my first celiac support group meeting the other night. WOW. I saw WHITE people! I'm usually one of the only white folks around here in So. Cal. (my students are mostly other races, each year I have one white out of twenty). It was really great to meet another celiac (lots, actually) for the first time! I didn't have to worry about the food there

Hmmm...

Just need a place to collect my thoughts, I'm think i may have a problem with wheat or gluten or both, this is why:-   When i was a baby, everytime my mum fed me i would be sick - the doctors said it was where the muscles that keep food down weren't fully formed and i would grow out of it.   As a todler my parents were worried about my lack of appetite, the doctors told them not to be silly, i would grow out of it, they resorted to leaving scraps of food lying around because i would eat a bi

Nice, Easy Breakfast

My mother sent me a newspaper clipping of a whole bunch of things you can do with corn tortillas. This morning I made one of those recipes. You warm the tortillas (3, because there are 3 of use) in the microwave until soft (40 seconds). Then you gently fold them into a muffin tine mold so that they are flauted. Then you crack an egg into each one. Then you sprinkle on salt and pepper and any fresh herb of your choice (we do rosemary). You can add a dash of cream to each one and then sprink

Cookies, Steak, And Ab Crunches

My favorite cookies are Sun Flour Baking Company's peanut butter or pumpkin. Warmed in microwave or dipped in marshmallow fluff is another way to really indulge with these yummy babies. Also Glutino Lemon wafer cookies. As Rachel Ray would say, Yum-O! I also chowed on some toffee Crunch N Munch this weekend. Can you tell what time it is for me...? I was feeling lethargic and I recalled that I hadn't had my vitamins today...also I haven't had meat or raisins in days. (Had some bacon with bre

What a month! Son is now in two major theater productions and rehearsals nearly every night. We got stranded for several days out of town because of snow and ice. I had a terrible time staying gluten free and one day said to heck with it. Of course now I've been constipated since Wednesday, feel bloated and stuffy, moody too.   The family got into a conversation last night about expressing emotions. Hubby said none of the guys he ran around with growing up expressed emotions. Son and

Grilled Chicken Breast & Vegetable Medely

So, as dinner time approached this evening I was stuck for an idea of what to cook. I had a steak at lunch yesterday, so beef was out of the question. Chicken sounded like a good idea, so I thumbed through a couple of my newly purchased gluten-free cookbooks, but was turned off by the amount of ingredients required or prep-time involved for the chicken dishes.   I searched Food Network's website for a recipe that I could modify (if necessary), and came across a recipe for a grilled chicken d

The First Post

So, it's official...I now have a blog. I've played around with these things before, but just never really got into them. I suppose that is because I never really had anything to write about.   I was diagnosed with Celiac disease roughly four years ago, but just started a gluten-free lifestyle about one month ago. I was tired of feeling terrible all the time, and I also considered the long term complications and problems that may hinder my health as a result of continuing to eat foods contai

Passing It On

People always tell me I'm bubbly. My marriage counselor said that my perky demeanor probably really grated on my (now ex-)husband's depression. When people tell me they'd hate not eating bread, I usually say at least I can have chocolate! But, most...no, ALL of the Valentine candy that my students gave me yesterday had WHEAT or MALT. So, I regifted it to the secretaries and ate some Hershey's kisses and marshmallows a kid brought. The last two weeks we've had to work until 6:30 PM and so t

Wow

So celiac disease is interesting. I just found out I had it a month or so ago and it is incredibly overwhealming. I'm trying so hard to be gluten free but eating no gluten on a college campus with limited options is so hard. It just sneaks into everything! I Don't even really understand this site but everytime I search something new through google it seems to direct me here so I figure its the place to be. We shall see i guess. Feel free to contact me and let me know how this works!!

Awesome Cheep Cheep Dinner

I'm cheep cheep when it comes to quick and easy dinners for kids. My son LOVES this and he isn't gluten-free. I take the chub spiced sausage and cook in a saucepan. I then add sloppy joe mix to it and serve it over rice with a salad and milk. The kids really really enjoy this. The spiced sausage gives it a richer flavor than just straight ground beef.   I still haven't tried the yellow cake, yet. We ate all of the yogurt and then my daughter was sick on Saturday so we didn't get around t

gluten-free Yellow Cake Idea

A yogurt company is trying to market yogurt as being a substitute for mayonaise. I got to thinking...whoa! Hold on to your hats! There is this yellow cake recipe that uses a cup of mayo in it. The only reason I don't make it very often is because mayo is kinda expensive if you use a cup at a time. So, perhaps I could try substituting my homemade yogurt into the recipe instead of the mayo? Just a thought...it's going to be a great experiment. Maybe I'll try it this weekend with my daughter a

More Mexican Food!

Last night my son and I went over to my ex-aunt-in-law's house (how's that for a tenuous connection!) and we had fish tacos out on the patio with a fire in the fire pit. There are some things that are pretty cool about Arizona in February!   I've been offered the job of English director and my second job as a tutor with a local tutoring company. That's really exciting. I told them that I'd probably take it in about a month, once my divorce is under control and I have energy to focus on all

You, Too?

Whenever people inquire about why I don't eat bread or why I'm eating what I'm eating, I give a generic response that I'm allergic to flour and it's hidden in everything---Just so people don't think I'm another FRUITY or NUTTY California Tree hugger and/or hypochondriac. But some people ask more about it and then I explain that it's not an anaphylactic allergy and that it's a genetic disease that is highly undiagnosed due to the wide range of symptoms and the ignorance of doctors who misdiag

One Year From Diagnonis, What A Ride

A lot happens in a year In a year, I've gone from food ignaramous to foodie. Junk food eater, to food nut. I used to read labels on products to guage the fat and calorie content, but now it is more for the ingredients. Last week I found out that food labels contain the amounts of protein and carbohydrates in them My favourite reading went from bestsellers to food labels. Lol I've gone from unhealthy to getting better. I have found a new passion. Can you guess what?   It has been quite

Another month gone by so quickly! I can hardly keep up. Traveling with food is going ok. I've been making some hot dishes since it's so cold. I made chili tonight and for some reason it was really flat tasting. I made it like I always do but it needed more umph tonight. I'm a little tired (already ) of coming home at 11:30 or midnight and having to clean the thermos and ice chest out. It makes the day seem extra long to have to do chores that late. I think Sunday or Monday, whenever

Yogurt

The homemade yogurt came out great. Every one loves it. I added nutrisweet so that it wasn't so bitter. I also added gelatin so that it would be firm. My son, 1.5, just smacked his lips in joy! What a cutie! The divorce isn't going amicably. My soon to be x is crazy. He called the police (there are not cusody orders) because he say's I'm crazy and angry. Well, I'm certainly angry, but I'm not irrational. He wouldn't return my daughter to me last night and he broke our verbal agreement.

What a busy weekend! I feel like resting today but it's another travel day. I need to get some traveling dinner ideas so I can pack a meal that ds will eat before rehearsals. He is not cooperating with a gluten-free diet so husband and I decided we need to totally clean out the house and all of us will be gluten-free. I was shocked by that! I don't know how long that will last to be honest.   I suggested to ds that he get some lunch meats and cheeses, along with raw vegetables and pack

      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:
