Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

January 2020

So starting off the new year with a bit of a big investment using all my savings. Due to health issues being worse now traveling has become a joke, like removing the second row seating from my vehicle and replacing it with a portable toilet with chemical disposal tank....yeah I had to. So this topped with having to rent a hotel every time I want to stay out late has made me invest in a new vehicle with bathroom, sink, bed, and kitchen area. Initially I was thinking a small RV like a Class B wh

These days...

I left off my last blog entry about to see my GP for my ongoing lethargy issues. My iron stores are now in the normal range (yay!) and my fasting blood glucose is 5.4. She left me with the advice to allow time to heal things and that there is nothing she can find that is wrong with me.  Resting my entire weekend, every weekend, away is not what I call living. I am literally living to work, eat and sleep. I am finding it very difficult to reconcile this being my life for the immediate future

Introduce myself

G'day to you. Nice to see you here. I'm Keight; a middle aged woman from Australia. I am a truck mechanic by trade and I have two teen sons, who are the light of my life.  As a baby, I had massive intestinal issues and could not hold down the baby formulas on the market at that time. Eventually, I was given a mix of evaporated milk and vitamin drops. I have had a life long problem with severe constipation, always thrived on meats, fruit and veg, had stomach cramps with milk and yoghurt, and

End of the Year Update

Food Well I found a new favorite meal, wild smoked salmon and nova salmon. WholeFoods has them 30% off right now, I love that flavor, made little snacks by putting them squares of nori with miyoko cream cheese.  LOVING THEM and no digestion issues. Been loving that I can eat thin bacon as long as I pull all the fat off, best is to buy the hormel precooked and pull the fat off cooking the pink and red bits and having with scrambled eggs. Been eating way to many gluten free and keto baked

Icings and Glazes for Baking

Figured I would post the sugar free dipping glaze and the royal icing I use in my bakery. The icing can be varied by liquid content from a heavy assembly icing, a decorating icing for piping, or a spreadable one. These icings are variable as they are low fat and sugar free so I can use them for various clients. Also I tend to use grams for these Dipping Glaze 40g Swerve Confectioner 2 tbsp Cashew Milk (Cashew for light set, use warm full fat coconut if you want it to set up hard) 1/4

Tracking Down the Food Culprit

So after my UC flare issues, I started having allergy issues (assumed a really bad seasonal case) and some random vomiting. Now the vomiting I thought at first was rebound from my constant D issues that resolved with the new RX for the UC. But it is very particular and patterned with food intake, looking at my food diary I am now assuming a new food sensitivity or allergy related. The vomiting always seems to have a bunch of floating mucus/slime and was seemingly random around food intake. Seems

After Thanksgiving Update

For thanksgiving this year I injected and smoked a turkey, the meat was wonderful. I also did dressing again, my green bean casserole with the french onions made in a air fryer, and mock apple cobbler out of chayote squash. My bakery/catering business donated 140 cookies, 9 loafs of pound cakes, a lemon loaf cake, mock apple cobblers to my churches community Thanksgiving Dinner. All Gluten Free, Paleo, and Keto, they were the only diabetic friendly desserts and most everything was taken.

Injury/New Emotional Support Animal/Thanksgiving

So since the cold front rolled in last month my allergies have left me coughing up stuff, congestion and sinus pressure, this happens every year. Well Sunday I was doing chest/shoulder workouts with butterflys and DB presses, and I started coughing and heard a pop then extreme pain. Monday I went to my massage therapist thinking I pulled a muscle...she told me to go see a doctor. SO yesterday I went to see the doctor and he thinks I dislocated a rib (huh?). So I had 7 xrays done and was giving

Good News, Cooking, Holidays

So I finally made it to that specialist in the city, he straight up put me on 4x the standard UC medication and within a few days I am active again and able to leave my house. He stated the Silica I thought caused it would have softened and gelled in my intestines thus it probably only mildly irritated my intestines. But he said nonetheless it seems it flared my UC. So he said if I stick with the paleo/keto diet it will help with remission once the medicine calms it down. So now to my cooki

Chicken Pizza Crust

So wanting a thicker sturdier crust and on a pizza craze I found, disliked and modified a recipe for making a low carb crust out of shredded chicken. One thing I like about these crust is they are sturdy enough to make in batches and freeze/fridge between layers of parchment paper for later unlike others I have tried. Then just top and heat up later. Makes 2x 8" Personal Crust 6oz  Cooked Chicken chopped and shredded(note if using canned weigh it after draining IE a 10oz can will have 5oz

Flourless and Paleo Fat Head Pizza

So I took the original idea of the fat head pizza (will include original recipe at bottom), I replaced the cheese with Miyoko's Vegan versions to make it dairy free, then used what I learned earlier and replaced the flour with Pork Panko from BaconsHeir to make this. Heck you can go carnivore with it and just sub the pork panko as I use the same grams of cheese vs Vegan Cheese. OH if you want double the recipe and use the extra dough to make it a deep dish then have some extras for other fun p

Some drug companies have been telling people that some of the drugs that they manufacture contain gluten

There is an excellent Gluten Free Site entitled "glutenfreedrugs  Some drug companies have been telling people that some of the drugs that they manufacture contain gluten. When I investigated these claims, as many have, it appears that the reason they are blatantly claim that their drugs are contaminated is because they have used a sugar alcohol as an excipient. Sugar alcohols are not truly sugars or alcohols, rather they are carbohydrates that provide A source of calories. The sugar alcohols ar
