Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

3 Weeks And Still Trying For 100% Gluten-Free

I never really knew what was wrong with me, but I always knew I didn't like a lot of foods. Some I didn't like because I had strange reactions to them. I have not been diagnosed but the change in my diet is amazing. I just changed my vitamins and wow, its like they work. My aches and pains have improved. my energy level is back to normal. Im trying very hard to learn every food that gluten is hidden in or even cross contaminated. I have been glutenwed twice since I went gluten free. I have been

Philly Cheesesteak Mac & Cheese

Philly Cheesesteak Mac & Cheese I used Tinkyada pasta for this but it can be done with zucchini and a spiralizer if you're already a pro at making and slightly drying the "noodles" 1 Package of Steakums (2 if you really want it meaty) 2 bags or boxes of any short cut Tinkyada pasta 1 large onion, chopped in large chunks 3 Bell Peppers, assorted colors, roughly chopped 1/2 a jar of sliced banana peppers (find them by the pickles and olives) with the heat level of

Gluten Free Battle Is Up Hill, But I Can See The Sky From Here

Obviously I'm not good at titling my blogs, lol, but the latest events of the Gluten Free struggle is what I'm posting here.   I've forgotten about my thyroid. Conveniently I'm sure, when I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma, I put off dealing with the nodules on my thyroid for years. It's been 9 years. I think I was hoping getting gluten free would cure them. But they have been super active, being I am easily swayed into stressing out over things and consuming sugar to supplement the ne

What Could Be Causing My Health Issues?

I have had irregular movements since As long as I can remember. Stressful situations caused loose stool and any other time they would be stuck. I did not realize how screwed up they were until I went gluten free when I was 17. I went gluten free for 3 months and it was the most regular I had ever been. Fast forward to this year I just turned 20. I had bloody bowel movements from july till December with no associated pain. I decided to go gluten free again. They stop being bloody within one wee

Gluten/grain Free Tortillas

Gluten/Grain Free Tortillas from: Open Original Shared Link   I've made these a few times. Easy , quick, and delicious. You really do want to get them as thin as you can, though. Use a LARGE frying pan or griddle. The recipe calls for a small 8" on but I find it easier with a larger one so I can control size better. I will be making a casserole dish full of my own recipe "Mommy's Enchiladas Verde". Yep, to die for. *nods vigorously* You will need 12 of them so I have quadrupled th

Gluten/grain Free Campbell's Tomato Soup Copycat

Campbell's Tomato Soup Copycat I adapted this recipe from produceonparade.com   The first time I tried this recipe was last night. I WAS FLOORED! It is such a good copy cat.. MY GOODNESS!

Stuffed Cabbages baked in the pan for potlucks, family reunions etc.. or thrown in the crock pot! OH JOY!!! I do use a specific brand of tomatoes in

I'm An Idiot

I just wanted to vent. I have been gluten-free for about 3 years. I have tried gluten challenges but never make it past 2 weeks. So I figured I would try enterolab, since supposedly it is more sensitive. I ate gluten for the last 2 weeks of 2014, sent in my sample. Came back positive. So I have been more careful than before- just washing hands more and making my daughter wash more as well. Plus I am still having bladder pain from those 2 weeks, but it has been improving. So last night I

Salted Caramel Fudge

Salted Caramel Fudge I was shopping and looking for caramel that was grain free. I found ZERO corn syrup free offerings so I bought some heavy cream and went home to make my own. If you need to be dairy free, You can actually use coconut cream from the can and vegan margarine. Apparently it works wonderfully. I cannot vouch as I've never tried it but EVERYONE should make home made caramel OH DEAR YUM!   So you will need to make your caramel first. It only takes 15 minutes! I left

Eggs In Purgatory 2 Ways

Eggs in Purgatory 2 Ways   Tonight we are indulging in some simple but fresh and delicious Italian fare. There are not a lot of ingredients so be sure to use the BEST ingredients. If you go for the 1st way, as I have this evening, be sure to find the darkest red tomatoes you can find. Actually use fresh basil and grate your own parmeggiano (or pecorino), If you make it the second way, be sure you use San Marzano tomatoes. You CAN taste the difference and it is all worth it. Both ways are s

Brynja's Artichoke & Sausage Baked Ziti And A White Chocolate & Almond Amaretto Cheesecake

Brynja's Artichoke & Sausage Baked Ziti This one is not grain free. I used Tinkyada pasta. It is ONLY made from rice and it has GREAT texture. It is the only grain I have found that my body will agree to. If you are unable to have any grains, you can modify this with some carrot noodles spiralzed! I've done it that way too. Delish! 2 lb Johnsonville sweet italian sausae (not in casing! The ones in the caing have corn syrup in them) 2 can artichoke hearts, chopped 1

Gennaro Contaldi’S Fried Stuffed Gnocchi

Gennaro Contaldi’s Fried Stuffed Gnocchi OK before you even get started, I need to tell you this is work. I have slightly modified the recipe so that it is grain free. I make my own Gnocchi pretty often and it is just one of those things that takes some practice. No need to worry, it will still taste perfect... its just practice to make them look pretty AND go quickly. I make this as a meal, not an appetizer. YUM YUM!     NOW...

Another List Of Unsuccessful Experiments

Hi again, dear world.   This is my second blog post. In the meanwhile I have had a really busy time testing new theories about my undiagnosed disease. Here is what has happened:   In the end of November I visited my GP, and got a referral to visit a gastroentrologist in February. At that time I was so sure that I had Hashimoto thyroiditis, and two months of waiting seemed a long time, especially because I was so sure that this horrible brain fog could be maganged with a simple hormone intake

      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:
