Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Not Gonna Take It

First I would like to take a moment to tell you that this isn't a complaint. This is me taking a stand. I have been living with what my bf calls Zodiac disease, AKA Celiac Disease, for about 4 years now. This has been a difficult process, and at times still is. I find myself fighting back the tears, as I have to get used to the idea of connivance and availability. But I WILL not take the total lack of taste and affordability! This is disgusting! The prices on this web site are out of this world.

Managing Hives & Gluten Allergies

I have a celiac-related condition that causes severe gluten sensitivity and hives. Two weeks ago, I visited a Naturopathic doctor. She and I talked for nearly three hours. It was a very good meeting where I shared my past physical issues and she took copious notes. When I had finished with my history she told me that my liver was having a hard time detoxifying my blood and that my constant hives were due to the body trying to detoxify through my skin. This was all very interesting but not very

Chapstick And Lunch Meat - Beware!

After my hospitalization over the Utz potato chip fiasco, I refuse to eat or use anything processed without calling about it first. My first call was about Chapstick. They told me that they are currently trying to obtain some sort of certification from every one of their suppliers to validate that their product is gluten free, but as yet, they cannot confirm that there is no gluten in their products.   My second call was about lunch meat. I'm very adept at reading ingredient lists, but ob

Introduction

Hi everyone.   I have Ceoliac Disease (pretty obvious) and I live in Japan (also obvious given the title). I have been here for many years now and have gradually worked my way to becoming a very proficient user of all things gluten-free in Japan. I am discovering new products all the time though and so will share these with you too. In this blog I hope to give tips and answer any questions so that you too can be feeling healthy while you live or travel here. Japan is a fantastic place and we t

Utz Products Are Not Gluten Free Food!

The following is an email that I sent to Utz this evening after having suffered terribly all day in the emergency room of my local hospital. I bought this "gluten free food" because there was no warning of cross-contamination. Boy will that teach me not to trust labels and to ALWAYS do my homework before consuming any processed product.   To Whom it may Concern:   I must say that I am really disappointed in Utz. You are irresponsibly mislabeling your products "gluten free", leading the co

Superbowl Glutening?

I think I got glutened yesterday. Beats me as to how. Breakfast was completely fine -aside from the crumbs in the toaster, which might have done it though it never has before. (I'm the only one gluten free in our house, and since we don't have a whole lot of extra money with ten kids, we only have one toaster.) Lunch was at home and was completely fine unless Perdue chicken recently changed its ingredients. Dinner was the most likely culprit, though I can't think of what it might be. For beverag

Peanut Butter

I recently found out that most peanut butter has soy in it. Great. So I'll have to finish those cookies I made with it before I go COMPLETELY off...not that I really mind, though. Well, for a success story, my mother and I found soy-free peanut butter AND corn chips at Kroger's...ah well...

This Gluten-free Dough Sheet Recipe Is Great For Wonton Wrappers, Raviolis.....

A Gluten Freedom Dough Sheet Recipe Here is a fantastic recipe for gluten-free pasta dough sheets. I make this recipe all the time because it is so versatile. I use it for raviolis, wontons, Peking dumplings (potstickers), and it is great for crab rangoons as well! This dough can definitely be made by hand, which was how I started off, but it does speed up the process if you have a pasta machine. You can buy some of the lower end pasta machines for around $30 or so. A great investment for thos

Stay On Track

Monday we had spaghetti, like we always do. I concluded that Italy invented gluten. I'm really glad for accountability at this point in my story, because if I didn't I this would probably be where the rest of my stories are: half-finished and really useless. Instead, I have someone bugging me to get this done. Precisely what I need to get through my dry spots. This friend is pushing me with "I want Chapter 5; hurry up!" so I've been pulling myself through an area where it's been harder to ge

Can I Get A Little Help Here?

I am a new diagnosed celiacian ( yes I made that word up) and am having trouble coping. I was diagnosed the first week of November 08 after my first ever adult hospitalization. I am almost 33 years old and have had several GPs, 2 Neurologists, 2 GI "specialists" and a psychologist tell me I had no reason for my chronic illness and that I was just a over anxious women with IBS. Even after I told 2 of my doctors that my dad was diagnosed with Celiac 2 years ago. I know by reading several books and

Soy Free

Well, after gathering some info from the experts in the forums, I concluded a while ago that I was soy intolerant. Two days ago I completely got off it. The reason I didn't do it sooner is that I had a whole bunch of teas from Christmas that had soy in them...so I finished that and then completely went off soy. That and now I make my own chocolate chips and eat my bagels plain because the cream-cheese substitute I had contained soy. What caught me completely off guard was the amount of corn chip

Twittering the Gluten Free Way

So I’m new to all this funky technology. LinkedIn, Technorati, Digg, Blogs, Carnivals, and I’m just really settling to Facebook and thesavvyceliac.com of course. But right now “Twittering” (or is it sending “Tweets”) are all the rage. It’s like consistently updating your status with people on Facebook. But can it help us get gluten-free information? Well, first off, it can’t if we cannot find people to follow, which is one thing I struggle with on Twitter. You

Wedding Plans :)

Yesterday, Chris and I went to meet with our wedding planner. Everything is coming together wonderfully. We now have a total itinerary with the planner. We also have an ice sculpture with our package and I love the design the guy made.   However, I have been dealing with car issues, and as I type my car is being looked at. Hopefully, I will not have to pay out too much money...since I am still trying to save money.   As of my nutrition, I am now in a rut! I don't really enjoy eating and I d

My Life

My life is different from others in more ways than most. When I was six months old, my mom   noticed that I was getting sick when I ate food. From there it just got worse. When I was two, I would   cry and hold my stomach at night and tell my mom my I had a stomach ache. She went to a doctor   and he thought she was crazy and he ended up kicking her out of his office. She took it into her own   hands and researched herself until she came upon a disease called

Life

It's been a little while. I've been brainstorming, doing schoolwork, playing LOTR on my flute, and being generally unusual. Recently my younger sister had to be taken to the hospital. Recently meaning ten minutes ago. We think she has a concussion. She's four. Isn't it scary how life is so fragile and it can end in a moment? I've realized it several times while barely regaining my balance at the top of a flight of hard stairs, or slipping down those same stairs because some left a plastic bag t

Gluten Freedom's Best Yeast Dough Yet!

This yeast dough is great for pizza and for cinnamon rolls. It cooks up a little heavy as a loaf of bread, but is still tasty! Some of the instructions below came with my Kitchen Aid Mixer, BUT the flour mixture (below), I derived after testing multiple variations and growling through many failed attempts.   This recipe works well in bread machines too! Just use your dough only setting and depending on the size of bread machine you may need to cut the ingredients in half. Use the Gluten Fre

      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:
