Butta Finga

Hmmm. Did I see Butterfinger on a gluten-free list? I gotta investigate. Bought 2 at the store just in case. Lady at work is annoyed I'm thin and said, yeah, she (me)can't eat bread. I'm like, yeah, but that's ok because now I can eat bacon, donuts, bagels (gluten-free), ice cream, potato chips/dip and steak--all things I avoided when I was "normal" because I felt that junk was too bad for me. Now I eat it weekly because they are such a great way to balance all my crumbly, sticky gluten-fre

Dinner N Dancing

Hmmm. Going to El Torito tonight. Haven't been there since going "against the grain" or "wheatless". I like refried beans, rice, and chips and guacamole. Will probably get tamales or tacos with corn tortillas. I'm thinking cross contamination will be the big scare factor here. Only one way to find out. The scariest part is going dancing afterward. Maybe I'll put some stomach med. in the car just in case. I"ve had more energy lately, so I should be ready to shake my boo-tay. I ate s

Victory At El Torito

One word: Enchiladas! I had steak enchiladas and they were muy bien! I had no problemas getting my dance on afterward, either! I ordered normally but cautioned the waiter about being allergic to wheat and later he made a joke about how did I enjoy the flour tortillas. haha Whatever. It was cool. I defrosted berry pancakes for breakfast today (yum) and ate M&Ms, carrots, tuna w/mayo&dill, and potato chips for lunch, and for dinner I'm cooking pea soup and also baked apples from my glu

Tahini To Go

Signed up to bring an appetizer for a work luncheon. Wanted to bring cheese and sausage, but the sausage was not looking like it was going to be allowable for me. SO, I glanced over and saw some HUMMUS and realized I haven't had that in YEARS. So, I bought some bell peppers and there we go! Sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers with black olives and hummus! Sweet! However, I did not have the courage to slice them in the food processor, since I'm not totally adept at that tool yet- and

Work Pot Luck Luncheon For Boss' Day

The luncheon at work was easy. I ate fruit, a tamale, spanish rice,-- and the peppers with hummus that I brought. Not bad. The only thing that looked yummy that I couldn't have was the soup someone made and the brownies someone made. Not for me! Because I'm SSSSSPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least I happened upon the gluten-free brand name candy list on this site, so I raided the drugstore for candy that I thought was off limits before: Chunky bar, Trolli sour gummy worms, gummy li

The Risk Does Have A Reward!

Girls nite out dancing last night and the band was really cool. Now that my hair is long (had short hair a la Charlize and Dixie Chicks in my 20s and decided to grow it last Xmas when I turned 30) it's hot on the dance floor! I'm glad celiac hasn't inhibited my hair's ability to grow fast! I had one drink, a Jack Daniel's with Coke. But, I got tired! So sad that my bod tires before my tootsies! In 3 inch heels! I should have fake carb loaded b4 hand! My pal was dying to crash a reunion

Food Has Arrived

Got my order from celiac specialties. Xantham gum, graham cracker crumbs (I want to make a pie), powdered donuts, pumpernickel bread (first time I ordered this), and Dr.Schar's crackers (first time).   The pumpernickel is really good. Not as strong of a flavor as I remember the real kind from my gluten full days, but pretty good straight out of the bag. No toasting or thawing or anything required.   The donuts are good as usual. Haven't tried the crackers. May save them for my bday since I

Dna Tests, Anyone?

Even though I already know my children and I have celiac disease, I'm thinking about having a DNA test done on all of us. I think it will be helpful for my children to know where they and their future offspring stand with this disease and the possibilities of future generations inheriting it.   Here's the website for the lab I'm considering:   Open Original Shared Link

Back To Chicago For The Holidays

Got my plane ticket 4 the holidays. I got lucky last year and it was in the 40 degree range in Chicago area last Xmas! Probably won't get so lucky this year. Last year I was BRAND new to celiac and this is how I coped on my 10 day trip: There are LOTS of celiacs over there (as are there lots of Norske's and other Scandinavian peeps- I read somewhere that most celiacs are Northern European???). Anyway, there was a health food store 5 min. from my mom's suburbian home and we stocked up on waf

Cookin' Up Some Seafood 2nite!

[Turned on some music and got cookin! Pryed open fresh clams to make clam chowder and put the rest in with mussels and big fat shrimp to make Spanish Paella with the saffron rice. mmmmmmm I took a pic of it, even. Maybe it will motivate me to make it again soon.   I bought a can of chili and a can of pork and beans at the store since I'd seen them on the gluten free list, but then I forgot which brands they were supposed to be, but I bought them anyway and I'm only nervous about the part

Picture Time

I think it's time for more pictures! I got a new car in June. It's a BMW Z4. I had a Z3 for about 10 years that I sold...on www.craigslist.com , believe it or not. It sold the first week to the first person who contacted me. Wow. Anyway, here's my new car. Ain't it purty?! It has lots of cool features and I'm enjoying it very much. Well, crud. I can't get the picture smaller so the whole car is there. Oh well, this part is pretty enough. ETA: Well, I guess I got it too small. C

The Diagnosis....

Today I went to the Gastro- and he said that my symptoms of weight loss, DH, pain, fatigue, and diarreha/vomiting, mean that I am most definetly Celiac. He also said that he is going to do an endoscopy of my small intestine to make sure that everything is healing the way it should. That is going to happen Wednesday morning. I am going to see a diaticien also so keep my nutrients where they should be. Finally some answers as to why I feel crappy all the time! He said it may take 6 months to

Is There Such A Thing As Mild celiac disease?

I was diagnosed with celiac disease last month. I am doing ok, but not completely gluten-free yet. It all started when I joined Weight Watchers and started eating whole wheat and whole grains. I started getting stomach-aches. After being diagnosed, I gave up the wheat products and started feeling better. I have always had gastro problems but my doctor said it was Irritable Bowel. I don't feel like I get sick when I cheat. From what I read on some of these posts, people get horribly sick f

Dupuytren's Contraction(dew-pwee-trawns

My mom, who has celiac disease (and passed it on to her children) just found out today that she has Dupuytren's Contraction (dew-pwee-TRAWNS). Of course, I'm wondering if there is some connection between the two. I've been searching the net and found one other celiac site in which two people with celiac disease also have Dupuytren's. Otherwise, I haven't found any other information linking them.   I'd be glad to hear from anyone who has any info about that.   Here's a site that tells a li

Labor Day - Not So Great Food

We went to an out of town wedding this weekend. I was looking forward to some really good food, but was sadly disappointed. The first night we went out with a group of my husband's family to a supposedly very good restaurant - spent $80.00 on just my husband and myself. I had a salad with raspberry vinagrette, I could barely taste the dressing. Then a slab of walnut crusted salmon with a raspberry sauce. It was too much and pretty bland, so I didn't finish it. Then I had their flourless ch

How/why The Immune System Reacts To Gluten?

NOTE: This is the start of going from point A to point B, the ingestion of gluten to damage of the mucosa, in Celiac Disease. Not saying that any of this is correct, but is my current and I'm sure changing understanding of the process. Any comments/corrections/additions would be greatly appreciated as this is a learning process for me and I'm new to the world of biochemistry, pathology and the immune system. So take any of this for what it's worth.   Tissue transglutaminase binds the g

Where Am I Going With Pathogens And Celiac

One thing that has recently got my attention is that I found out about two pathogens that seem to look a lot like gliadin. Those two being the fungi Open Original Shared Link and the virus Open Original Shared Link 12. What interests me most is not that I think that they are a cause of Celiac Disease, though who knows for sure, but that this could be the reason why HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 even exist as part of our defence system.   I had wondered after I learned about Celiac Disease and the immu

And So It Begins

Thought I'd start a blog to see if I can keep track of all my random bablings about Celiac, Gluten Sensitivity, Immune System, Food Sensitivities and Lymphocytic Colitis.   I'll start by saying what I know about what I have.   I was diagnosed with LC (Lymphocytic Colitis) back in December of 2004 (I think that was the time) after getting a Colonoscopy and having biopsies analyzed. I should start a category here for details about this, but for now all I'll say is that a great support forum f
