Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Just Back From Dr.

Well, I just got out of the Dr.'s office. We went over all my tests and for the time being, in addition to now having to live 'gluten free', I am to start taking calcium and vitamin D tablets 3 times a day. Next Thursday I am going for a bone density scan because Celiac Disease can cause osteoperosis, and because of my age, and not knowing how long I have actually had the disease, the good Dr wants to see what condition my skeleton is in. It's best to know I suppose. Anyway, just x-rays of some

Learning How To Cook Gluten-free

I got home from work last night greatly anticipating having my home-made gluten-free meatloaf....I love meatloaf....the way I USED TO MAKE IT! I had to modify it by using gluten-free bread crumbs, and other seasonings. I was disappointed at how dry it was. The flavor was just OK.... nothing to write home about. Maybe the gluten-free bread crumbs absorb more of the grease from the ground beef? Maybe I need to use less of them? And maybe REAL chopped onions and peppers instead of the f

Yesterday... But Today...

Yesterday I was not well. It was a tough day. That's all I really remember. I just remeber hvin a hard day. And I think that it was because of what I ate the niht before. I make a bad ass adobo atong:) my mom really likes it. Ther is no gluten in it. Before going gluten free I used to use soy sauce but now a days it's Braggs Liquid Amino Acids and Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. It was yumm yummy!! But I thinkthat I reacted to the vinegar sooooo until I am 100% I won't be having any adobo's. BOOOOO

Tired Of Being Sick!

Okay So my Name is Jade(on here anyway) And i feel like ranting. I was born sick and i'm still sick and I'm tired!! So all my life I had these stomach problems and I was always tired and gained weight rapidly and could never lose it. My immune system sucked and I was always missing school cuz I was always getting sick. So had to make a big adjustment to being celiac and now I'm having yeast problems. Which means that not only will i have to do celiac I have to do candida diet too!! Does anyone

Getting Used To This

Spent most of last night cooking for the week. Had to empty all the food out of my 'fridge' and cupboard to make room for gluten-free food. Made some gluten-free pasta and a meat sauce, and a meatloaf. Used to love my meatloaf! It was made using Lipton onion soup mix. But that can't be used now, so I had to get gluten-free bread crumbs, and used some makeshift seasonings to try to imitate it. It looks dry, but I took a little taste and it seems to taste ok. I can no longer eat instant mashed p

The Next Day

Today was a hard day. When I woke up for my snack at five am this morning I had a hard time. I guess my blood sugar went low. As I ate I felt better. My limbs felt weak and my head was heavy I kept shaking it Idk y. I don't know. The day went on andnit was just diffiult to go through. I knew I should eat but I was not hungry and making myself eat sucked. Brain fog today. It was hard to help myself. I was able to take a nap. A freie d texted me asked how I was doing I didn't lie I told her it was

Gluten Free Cheese Cake

Today we celebrated Adam turning 30. Whoo hoo! The first time I met him, 10 years ago at Liberty, one of our first dates was celebrating his birthday. He told me his favorite birthday dessert was this no bake cheese cake his Mom made him every year. So from that time on that has always almost been his birthday cake from me...until we found out he had celiac that is. Graham crackers have gluten in them. Until now! When going to Kimberton Whole Foods, I was excited to see that Kinnikinnick has glu

Buckwheat Muffins

Okay so I bombed out on the muffins tonight. It's a really bad sign when even your very polite, gluten free supporting in-laws say that, "everything else tastes so good I just don't have room for a muffin." It all started out so inocently. I was minding my own business in the whole food section of the grocery store when I noticed a bag of buckwheat flour. I thought to myself, "Wait, isn't buckwheat one of those naturally gluten free flours that they make pancakes out of and sell them at Cracke

Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

I just adore Fall. The air turns colder, the leaves start changing colors and you start to see pumpkins at every road side stand. Hence the need for a good gluten free pumpkin muffin recipe! The other week when it was my turn to bring the snack for Bible study, I racked my brain of what to bring. No food allergies! The sky was the limit. How fun would this be. So I looked up a bunch of recipes for pumpkin muffins and came across one of the easiest and weirdest cooking anomaly's ever in muffin

Up And Down

Today was a better day. Not so much fog. I tried to teach my nephew how to play chess. He is only three lol. So we made up most of the rules for his chess game. Had some ups and downs today. But the overall day was better than the past days. Around 4 pm I actually thought positive and for the future. I was making a shopping list for my mom and we were trying to plan the dinner for the week and how much would fit in the ice box. Then I said "maybe I can do the next grocery run ". It was a surpris

Food Diary

Good morning friends, Today I have to start keeping a food diary of all I eat and drink for the next 3 days before going to the nutritionist. I don't know if the paper is large enough to list all the bags of m&m's I will be eating?!! lol Is all gluten-free bread as hard as a brick?? I used it for a grilled cheese this morning. After I grilled it, it was much better, and it taste ok....the texture is more like pound cake! Anyway, I'm off to work now and wish all of you a great day! I hope

The Chronic Prostatitis and Celiac Disease Connection

I'm writing a book about the bladder, and one of the points I came across in my research, perhaps not too surprisingly, is a link between gluten intolerance and/or celiac disease and chronic prostatitis in men. I've also run across a comment posted regarding this link on the Open Original Shared Link on this site, but I really want to learn more about this link to document it for the book. So, what I'm wondering, and asking, is if anyone would be willing to share their story with me? My guess

Diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Still Sick

Hello Everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac disease about six months ago or so. I was doing well. I felt a lot better right away. Then in August I messed up a number of times by eating out. Now I have been very strict. Although still a learning curve with hidden gluten/cross contamination. My number went from 37 to 10. My thing is I have been getting very nauseous for about a month now. My GI doc thinks it is because I still have gluten in my system (the number being 10 still).

Good Morning!

It's is a better morning. Woke up shaky and weak ate some food and took some remedies and wow wow I'm feeling better. I think my thoughts are clearer. Not 100% yet but getting further away from 10%. That's a good thing. I'm gonna keep updating my blog today on how I feel so that I can keep track of it.

It Feels Like Forever.

I am learning to accept that I am a sensitive person. And that I need to take care of my body. I am a painter and I recently found out that the medium that I work with that I thought would be harmless to me is actually harming me. I had a really rough morning today. Apparently my adreanal glands are working overtime on getting the lead that my body absorbed from when I paint. I was angry because I poisoned myself with the medium. When I first started painting I didn't think anything of the lead

I Think I'm In Mourning!

Having just been confirmed that I have Celiac Disease a few days ago, the doctor had me make an appointment with a nutritionist which will be this coming Thursday. The nutritionist is having me make a list of foods that I eat and like. As I was making this list it occurred to me that many.....MANY of these foods I will no longer be able to eat and that makes me very sad. I think of going to IGGY's and having clam cakes and chowder....that luscious New England chowder...thick and creamy white,

Writing

For those of you who don't know, I'm a fantasy fiction author. I love to write. I can't communicate all that well by talking, but writing suits me perfectly. Poems, songs, books, even papers -you name it. I love to write. Well, with a combination of starting a story around Feb/March, writing (this is all by hand) 181 pages in April, and writing 150 pages last month and several misc. pages in between, I've finished my first book. Funny. It's also the last book in the series. It's not getting pub

I'm Just Not Well..

I went for the blood test some years ago, after finding celiac.com on the food net work.. I was amazed I had all but one symptom. So I stopped eating wheat glutens for 2 months to see if that would change anything in how I felt. It surly did. I then went to the doctors to let them know my findings since they could not for the life of them figure out what was wrong with me.. 8 doctors and 100,000.00 in tests previous to that. I finally get the blood test and they tell me it is inconclusive. I

Marching on Gluten-Free!

Good Morning Everyone, It has been sometime since I have checked in and for that I apologize. The gluten-free diet is going well but a little boring. I did discover a new product (well new to me). I was shopping at my local Redners a few weeks back. I was picking up the cookies my hubby likes. upon my arrival I noticed 2 men standing right in front of my (LOL) gluten free section of the aisle. I say mine because I never see anyone else standing there. I became very curious as to why they
