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

Gluten Freedom's General Gau's Chicken Recipe

Pursuing a gluten free lifestyle seems to be the popular trend right now. But let's set Hollywood and celebrity diet trends aside. Celiac Disease and Gluten Allergies are serious health issues. Those who pursue a gluten-free lifestyle can begin feeling better physically after several weeks of being gluten free, but they may also begin to experience some social or emotional stresses triggered by a sort of separation anxiety or a period of mourning and grief over losing the food they once took com

Breaking The Barriers To Breaking Bread

Celiac Disease and Gluten Allergies are serious health issues. 3 years ago when it was 1st discovered that my son might have a gluten allergy there was very little awareness about it. Last April I joined him in a gluten free lifestyle due to my own health issues. Lucky for us the tide is changing for those of us who pursue a gluten free lifestyle! The gluten free market is exploding. There are new products hitting the shelves everyday. There are gluten free restaurants popping up, and gluten fr

Exchange Student Needs a Gluten-Free Home

This fall you heard about my family's adventures with hosting an exchange student with celiac disease. Ida is now half way through her stay here and I believe she’s having a great time. She’s had some adjustments to make with her diet here. For example: we still haven’t found a regular bun recipe that has met my expectations. Until she came here, she was used to good gluten-free hamburger buns in Norway. So for now she’s eating hamburgers without buns. As for Ida at school, sh

New Year

I don't see what's happy this new year, and I don't know who coined the phrase "Happy New Year", but the year ahead is looking pretty bleak, what with the economic downturn and Obama's inauguration. So I say, "What's happy about the new year?" But don't listen to me. I'm a cynic if there ever was one. Dad's said he needs to replace me with a human, I guess simply because humans don't have the same capacity for cynicism and sarcasm that my older brother and I have. Ah well. I'm not going to be cl

Bad Mood Swings

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease. The people closest to me in my life have been telling me lately that my mood swings and irratability have been off the charts. I am not very careful about cross contamination and making sure everything is gluten-free when I go out to eat. Could this be why I am so irratable and snap very easily at the ones closest to me? I feel like I am not myself and can not get back to the person I once was. At some points I can not even look at someone with

Beginning Another Beginning

I stopped caring about the way I look. I am 22 and 5'7 and about 155. I need to knock off about 20 pounds total. Over the last few years since diagnosed my weight has fluctuated within that 20 pounds. I have been yo-yo eating/dieting and exercising and I am ready to commit to it for I almost weigh the same as my boyfriend! Scary thought-anyways, I plan on blogging my progress throughout the next few months which I am sure will be a struggle because any time I loose a pound or so I usually rewa

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas! This Christmas was great with family and friends. My soon to be mother in law had a friend of hers make me gluten free, dairy free chocolate covered pretzels!!! AMAZING!!! I am still eating them, and I am ready to make some more myself.   My fiance and I traveled quite a bit getting to everyone's house and seeing all our families. We had a wonderful time despite the travels.   Since we scaled down Christmas this year, my family finally was able to go to night service at Chur

An Irish Christmas

So far only one got sick (my older brother; but not anymore) enough to skip meals. Bits of colds are flying around but nothing TOO bad. Wow, I can finally read the time any time I want because I have a watch that actually WORKS. (How long has it been since that's happened?) And the backpack and story binder are perfect! Great Christmas! Anyway...   Christmas is a very informal, relaxed time in our house. Everyone gets to sleep in (especially since the older ones have stayed up past twelve the

Christmas Eve

Until now. That's how long it took. To water the chickens I had to use some water from the greenhouse. Dishes were done by directing madly spurting water into containers and heating them. I have a few burns on my hands from the water and the pots. The water came on about ten minutes ago, and we finally got the ability to flush the toilets and get a drink of water from the sink, instead of boiling microorganisms out of the liquid or sucking on an ever-decreasing supply of ice cubes.   Ah well.

A Unique Experience

Proof of the varying, useful lessons of being homeschooled:   Learn how to increase water pressure (that outcome is hopeful) First turn off the well pump. Partly open water filter containers and find out that turning off the water didn't work it's apparent purpose (i.e. turning off the water). Screw containers back into position and call Dad to find out what to do next. Go climb into the pump house and turn off the water that way. Attempt containers again. Find out that this time it work

Activities Of My Day

The chickens decided to make me happy and turn in the full quota of eggs today. I needed that and the chocolate ice cream I described before to get through geometry. I hate that particular subject. People say that if you like logic and reason you'll like geometry. I love logic and reason. Something tells me that the people who took that survey weren't on top of everything.   At least I have reading. Sure, the study guide delves too deep for the book to be fun anymore, but at least there are so

It's Turning Into A Long Day

We had a fire station field trip today with four and a half other families from church. It took 45 minutes, then they all went to our house (which was a minute of driving away) for a bag lunch. We had a 'fire drill' and most of the people ran outside. I hadn't heard and went into the house only to find it "burning". One of my little sisters, who was outside, did a classic then. "I need to go potty." Perfect.   Most of the families are gone, with only the "half" family remaining. Since they're
