Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, retired RN, Freelance Journalist

After a lifetime of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis I have had the most difficult Summer ever. So I started with the pantry, where we have a side for me "Gluten Free". This can be good if someone does not put a box of gluten crackers on my side of the pantry, like a teenager!  I also reminded myself at the same time about Vinegar. Apple cider, distilled wine, balsamic are usually safe (I say usually because they can have added flavors, in which case the label should indicate that on

The vague "Natural flavors" should be avoided

Have been on a little review of my diet. After at least twenty-two years of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis, even though it is likely I was born with it, I know some gluten has been sneaking into my diet, and unbeknownst to me. TEA:  It has changed over the past twenty-two years. Now we have an assortment of flavored teas that run the risk of cross contamination during processing, we also have many different flavors that were not around "in the dark ages". The vague "Natural flavors"

Vertigo spells lately

Hello, I recently had two Vertigo episodes. I am wondering if the s’mores with marshmallows is the culprit? Has anyone experienced Vertigo from hidden gluten? I am really sensitive to gluten and Casein. I was diagnosed in May 2017 and had an endoscopy in March, small intestine was found to be normal. Diagnosis “May have Celiac”. I do carry one gene. Both Neice and my other nieces daughter are gluten sensitive. Both parents are deceased so I don’t know the history. I hope to hear from you.

Finally Got Tested

I have been seeing doctors since April of this year. I finally got tested for celiacs on Tuesday; I'm still waiting to get the results. I have been sick everyday for the past 8 months. I get rashes all the time. I originally tried to take allergy medicine, but it doesn't help at all. The rashes are sooooooo itchy and even sometimes burn if they get bad enough. After I eat, I feel like I'm getting quick sharp stabs in my stomach. My joints hurt so bad. I feel like I can't even write anymore witho

October Update 2018

Issues with my digestion contenue, I had to put off my doctors appointment til sometimes in October as that is when my check comes. In the mean time further evaluations by self. 1. Removing Emulsifiers IE Konjac, Guar Gum, Psyllum Husk, or any kind of binding agent for dinner. This conclusion was reached by the floating fats in vomit were bound to protein powders and other foods consumed.

Week 7 of gluten-free

Just like tracking the growth of a baby, I am now upping my tracking unit from days to weeks. I have learned a lot in this short time! The best thing we've done as a family is do gluten-free dinners. The cross-contamination in a family of five can drive me nutty, so it's best for me to stick to gluten-free family meals. For breakfast and lunch, on most days, everyone picks their own things and the gluten-free isn't as much of an issue. I have also decided to try to have a designated spot in the

Everything goes downhill....

So, mid march 2018 and I go on a family holiday away from home. I was now beggining to grow bored of my gluten free diet so what did I decide to do?.... be an idiot and eat gluten while we were on that  holiday! So I ate gluten every day and at first I felt okay... not too great but barely noticeable. Then i started to get more and more symptoms back but because I hadnt eaten anything glutenous in a while now I didnt want to stop again. Then end of april, I started to experience a flare of my as

The beginning

Last year in 2017 around October I decided to start a gluten free and dairy free diet because I had been feeling really ill when I ate gluten. It was hard because my friends all ate gluten (like a lot of people) and I had to watch them eat pizza and sandwhiches and cakes etc . I felt like I was really missing out and I hated that I couldnt eat all the foods I liked. Christmas day came and I had to eat gluten free ~still~ but I was annoyed at this because the rest of my family could eat whatever

A Company called NAMASTE

A TREMENDOUS BUY!:  About two years ago now we bought a gluten free spice cake mix from A Company called NAMASTE. At first it came in a brown paper lunch bag type of container, this past year it is in a box. The value is in the quantity. It makes two cakes, either "8 x 9" or 8" x 13". It tells you on the side of the box how to divide the mix if you are only wanting to make one cake. What is great about this product is it not only can make a cake, it can make a loaf or muffins. I added 1 Cup of s

Day 9 of gluten-free

I'm progressing nicely, but still hitting bumps along the way. Last night I went to a Japanese steakhouse and thought I made great choices until it dawned on me this morning that imitation crabmeat has wheat in it as a binder. I also tried a bite of seaweed salad and enjoyed every flavor until I realized it had soy sauce in the dressing. The rice paper was a nice alternative to a traditional wonton type wrapper. At the very least, a hard cider to drink was a safe move in the area of alcoholic be

Day 7 of gluten-free

Here I am a week into this lifestyle change and hoping I am on the right track. In general my digestive system feels better, but I seem to be constantly finding gluten hidden in things I wouldn't think of. Yesterday's discovery happened while reading the ingredients to an Italian dressing packet. I wouldn't have guessed that it would have wheat in it. Other learning curves are happening as I study labels, noticing where they clearly state "gluten free" and where I am left questioning the fo

Day 2 of gluten-free

A couple of weeks ago I received confirmation of what I had suspected for quite some time... I have celiac disease. Feeling that wheat doesn't digest well is different then knowing that it doesn't digest well. The formal confirmation is still sinking in... At first I was resistant and continued to eat wheat on occasion. I then became determined to give the gluten-free way of life a try in hopes that I would feel better. I then spent several days limiting my gluten intake all day to only cra

Steps for Recovery

This is a personal note to myself on things to remember next time and things to consider. If unsure of exposure take glidenX next few meals, blend and nima test samples of ingredients used to see if it was something you fixed. THOW AWAY that tooth brush....you brushed after getting glutened...your brush is contaminated.... MAKE SURE to add a extra 2 tsp of Liquid Health Energy& Stress and Neurological support between standard dosing, this will help with anxiety and suicidal th

July Update

SO it started off and has been very rough these past few weeks. I kept having issues finding a new car, found one much cheaper and I just have to wait 2 weeks for it.

My initial inquires for financing were ignored or denied as the new venture did not have its own LLC and a bank account yet, and lending to a individual or a different business....well just looks bad on boo
