To die for Cookie Crumb Gluten-Free Pie Crust

Mix 1 package of Pamela's Pecan Shortbread cookies, crushed, with 1/4 C margarine or butter, melted. Press into a 9" pie pan. Preheat oven to 350 and bake this crust only for about 5 minutes if using a pumpkin pie filling. Cool. Pour in the filling, cover the edge of the crust with foil, and bake according to your pie filling instructions. I had extremely poor success previously, both with a conventional gluten-free pie crust, and even a purchased frozen gluten-free pie crust. Both were so tou

Thanksgiving Blues

We had two people over for the actual Thanksgiving meal...of which some parts had been tailored to suit my diet. The gravy was made with potato starch and coconut milk -providing a stark contrast to wheat flour and regular milk. The stuffing (which has so many fans that it couldn't be cut out) couldn't be cooked inside the turkey, like a lot of people like it. I had to have my own little bowls of mashed potatoes and broccoli because there was butter and/or milk in the bigger dishes. There was cr

My Journey

My most severe symptoms that affected my daily routine started August 2008 with constant diarrhea. I thought at first it was anxiety, since I started graduate school, a new job and moved to a new place with a person I had never met. Lots of changes in a matter of a month. After a while nothing got better, it actually became worse.   Once I started tracking what was happening, I was soon gaining weight with the diarrhea (instead of losing weight) I finally went to my doctor and told him all

My First Entry

Well. I have never written a blog, so I am not sure how this works....but I will just write something and see what happens.   Recently, I have been thinking about getting pregnant a few years after I am married (this upcoming June). I have been really concerned about being infertile or have complications. Being infertile is one of my biggest fears. I have talked with my fiance about these issues and he says it's ok, we can always adopt....but I think he would be devastated too.   Since I

Sick...still

I'm less sick with the cold (just a few sniffles here and there) but I think something went wrong last night and I think I ate something I wasn't supposed to -I have no clue at all what it would be. (I had chicken, quinoa with red peppers and peas, and broccoli, with gluten-free cookies for dessert.) I woke up twice last night to use the bathroom and had to do so again about twice earlier this morning. Meanwhile my stomach had felt really weird and I had bad cramps. Now I feel fine. I'm think

Can Someone Explain This Genetic Link?

Not the missing link... the genetic link that predisposes someone to Celiac Disease.   And just for the record, I had to actually do some research before writing this. Eeek! But that's ok, I've learned my one new thing for today.   So here's what I know so far: I have double copies of the HLA DQA1*05-DQB1*0201 gene. To those of you who know what that means, I am totally impressed. To those who don't, it means a lot. Mostly, that I carry two copies of the genes that put someone at risk for Ce

Misc...

I feel a cold coming on ...and I've been having some trouble with some things that seem like they would spout from cross-contamination, but I don't know how...anyway, I'm still very tired, and even more so since Wednesday morning I woke up at 4:30 A.M. and couldn't go back to sleep after I heard that Obama had been elected. It strikes me funny the irony of it all -something I won't say in case it might offend Obama supporters

Professional Hazards—Banquet Dining on the Gluten-Free Diet

I'm a public relations professional and have worked in this industry for many years, enduring more than my share of work luncheons, social gatherings and banquet dinners, like the one I'm attending tonight with a client. When I do attend these events I'm always apprehensive beforehand, worried that my meal could somehow be contaminated, in spite of my best efforts to be as proactive and prepared as can be before walking in the door. Normally, I contact the catering manager of the event I'm att

Tired...

This has been a long weekend, with Friday first processing chickens then going over to a friend's house for worship and fellowship and staying up until, what was it, eleven-thirty? Somewhere around there. Anyway, on Saturday we had two families over for dinner and they stayed until around nine-thirty, and I got to bed around ten-thirty after watching some of The Curse of the Black Pearl. Then yesterday we had another family over...they stayed until about nine-forty-five, and then we watched some

Wreaking Halloween Havoc: My First Time In A Police Car

It began at 7:30 PM and ended at 7:30 AM. I kinda thought I'd picked the lesser of two evils by opting to see my friend's husband's band play for Halloween, and not going to the party where I knew my ex-boyfriend from 2 years ago would be. You decide: I had a blast in my St. Pauli Girl costume, dancing (extra fun to shake my mini crinoline-clad booty) with the wives of the band dudes, doing raspberry kamikaze shots, and complimenting people's costumes. It was fun when dudes would shout,

Just One Milligram of Gluten: Is it Worth the Risk?

Just one milligram. That is truly all it takes. As mentioned by Dr. Thomas O’Bryan in Unlocking the Mystery of Wheat and Gluten Intolerance, that is just one sixteenth of the size of a fingernail. During the lecture caught on camera, Dr. O’Bryan talks about a woman whose intestines were badly damaged by her continued ingestion of gluten and refused to heal, because she was ingesting just one milligram of gluten per day. And considering the range of symptoms that celiac disease is cap

To "App" or Not to "App": The Use of Gluten Free Product List Computer Applications

Even just a few years ago, gluten-free shoppers were going to grocery stores with papers in hand, making sure they were reading ingredient lists correctly. In fact, in that first year after my daughter’s diagnosis, my average time at the grocery store doubled–and so did my bill. But now, technology is making it a lot easier for us to navigate the aisles with more confidence and a lot less paper. I recently received a notification online that talked about an application for the iPhone that

Gluten-Free Sanity: Become a Support Group

My husband and I had been in “survival mode” for about 3 months; back in October of 2000, our then-18-month-old daughter was getting strong and healthy on the gluten-free diet. But I needed more for my sanity. I couldn’t keep feeding my daughter only hamburger, eggs and French toast until she was 18. I needed to find people battling the same issues as me. I tracked down the only celiac support group in my area, but it catered to adults. But that is where I met the women who were about to ch

Intro

Well, today is the day that I started officially blogging. It's kind of strange putting yourself out there like that...   My hope is that one day I'll be able to put all of my knowledge to work for those who don't have the resources to find out how to live better. This includes Celiac, but certainly is not limited to it. I mean, any sort of GI disorder, in my opinion, is awful to live with, but can often be assuaged with food additions or restrictions.   And I LOVE to eat!! So, between my kn

Pumpkin Cake, Pizza Fusion, And Pecos Bill

Had fun at the celiac support meeting. You can pretend you went- a virtual meeting- here: One lady had amazing pumpkin bread (light and moist and fluffy and SOFT) that she made out of her Vitamix (some fancy blender) recipe book that she modified for gluten free. Said it was easy. She traded me her leftover cake for my leftover peanut butter cookies from Whole Foods A college girl told us about some cookie ice cream from Good Karma she loves-it's soy based? Another one said she's had great

Safe Gluten-Free Dining in Denver, Colorado

Over the past few weeks I have made two trips to Denver, CO—one to visit family—and the other for work. During both trips to the Mile High City, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the knowledge of celiac disease and eating gluten-free is fairly prevalent. I always worry a bit before heading to a new location, or different part of the country/world, not knowing what the level of celiac awareness will be, but on these two particular ventures to Colorado I was very happy and excited with what

The Dinner Party Drama—Two Guidelines to Assure a Pleasant Gluten-Free Experience

With the holidays looming on the horizon, invitations to highly-anticipated dinner gatherings are arranged. I usually dreaded any environment involving food because, much to my dismay, the buffet tables arrayed with decadent dishes and gluttonous enticements are all gluten laden, and I realize I cannot even consume a morsel, and I’m ravenous! So, how do I avoid the drama of starvation or anti-socially concealing myself in a corner sipping water? I follow two guidelines to assure a pleasant

New Member

Well, I'm a new member who joined yesterday...I'm gluten- and casein-sensitive. I don't know what the difference is between being "sensitive" and "intolerant". I was diagnosed a few months ago, and I'm still not sure about everything I can eat. I'm looking for a friend maybe gluten-sensitive, and around my age (13) who is a Christian.

Hi Everybody, My 12 year old daughter has been diagnosed through labs from Interolab with gluten intolerance. Her numbers are very high. She has been ill for two months and even out of school. I'm home with her daily while she trys to get through a school homebound program.

She still experiences severe stomach pain that quickly leads to na

No More Stitches

Thanks again to:*drum roll* HEREDITY! *applause* Thanks to my genes, I-- (like my mom this time ((celiac's from dad)))-- needed a gum graft. Mom said it was awful pain and not to do it. Hers fell off anyway. So I told the guy he had one shot to make it work. TALK ABOUT DISGUSTING! Embarrassingly enough, I think I had my first panic attack during this one-hour procedure. Growing up without insurance (below the poverty line), I needed lotsa dental work once I grew up and got insurance. So, t
