Yummy or Yucky Gluten-Free Foods

I am a finicky eater. I admit it. When I was young, I used to say I didn't like a certain type of food because I just didn't like it. When asked if I had ever tasted it before, I would say no, but even so, I still didn't like the food. (Ok, I still occasionally use this excuse, but I am getting better!) Being diagnosed with Celiac made me expand my food repertoire when dining in and out of the house. Still, you have to admit, some of the gluten-free products out on the market are just hideous!

Out and About and Gluten-Free in Northern California

If you ever feel obligated to visit northern California, there are two gluten-free establishments that should not be missed. Firstly, the Mariposa Bakehouse and Cafe is a must-see. This quaint little establishment located on the Berkeley/Oakland border is impeccably clean, and better yet, is entirely gluten-free. The food is near-gourmet and is fairly priced. No matter what you order, you will always be more than pleased. The pizza is always fresh, the muffins are near-perfection, and the bagel

Cooking Terms That Can Help Make Your Cruise Gluten-Free

We are now talking about some of the terms that are used in the kitchen that you might need to know in order to help you decide how your food is prepared. Broiled: The two I am talking about is where the fire is above your food and below your food. Above. Your food sits on a grill that the chef can move up and down to make it closer or father from the fire. Below. The food sits on a grill a lot like your o

Feeling Groovy!

I am through the withdrawal and am feeling great!! I am experimenting with a few different bread mixes out there. The Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain one is very good if you like the taste of rye bread. I also like the Kinnikinik sunflower flax seed bread. That one is not a yeast bread, it is a little heavier and sweeter than most breads, but is very good to make a peanut butter/banana sandwich with. I am also eating tons of salads and fresh fruits, and frittata's are also my new favorite for b

Gluten Free High Protein

Gluten-free high protein does not have to be an oxymoron any longer. This is good news since celiac and diabetes, both auto-immune disorders, are thought to ride on the same HLA gene. According to recent studies, 40% of diabetics have celiac disease. Conversely it is believed that diabetes is higher in celiacs than in the general population. diabeteshealth.com states that possibly 5-10% of all celiacs have diabetes, though I believe that if insulin resistan

Biopsy Vrs Bloodwork

So I now have one more week before my biopsy, the waiting really sucks, regarless of the results I am going gluten free. I read on here how inconclusive the results can be for the biopsy, and that really blows my mind as the doctors say that the biopsy is the only way to get a 100% true diagnosis. Then what are the results from the blood work worth. I mean if someone has High blood work and the biopsy is negative then what are you supposed to do. This really sucks not knowing, Well I mean I kn

Into Looking Now For Gluten Free Toiletries And Protein Powder That Is Gluten-free.

It's hard to believe that one month as gone by now. When I sit back and think of the "emotional attachment" I had to gluten when I first went gluten-free , I do roll my eyes a tad I was so down by it at the time. It was not till I found out that Kinnikinnick products were at my local grocer's and they had Donuts!!! that tasted no different than wheat ones. The days of "suffering" were over. It is a big adjustment going gluten-free , but it's not really that hard. There is such an abundance of

Jr Won't Eat Yellow Cake Again, Haha

This blog was originally dated as March 20th, but I only recently figured out how to "add in blogs" >> blames gluten for lack of knowledge :D Today, I did finally get to the Organic Market and found the product name I was looking for. I wish I did not have my son along with me, (he's just 4) as I could not look around as well I as I wanted too. The store did have quite a number of gluten free items to look at. I got an all purpose celiac flour mix, as well as the tapioca flour, glute

2 Weeks Till My Bipsy

So I seen the specialist yesterday and discussed the endoscopy/biopsy and believe it or not I only have to wait another week and a half to have it done and then I can go gluten free. He really told me to try and keep eating gluten so the results will be more accurate. If he had of said anything over a month I probably wouldn't of waited. I mean my blood work results were so high that I probably don't even need to get this done but he said you really sure to be 100% sure considering you will have

Gluten-Free Cruise Ship Form Letter to Bring

Here is a from letter I made up so you can take this with you on the cruise.. You will want to fill in the menu before you get there and have blanks for other meals you did not plan. The most important issues is the room number, table number and your time of dinner that you are eating at in the main dinning room...even when you do room service the times are very important so that the cooks or chefs see them. Feel free to change if you wish.

Feelin' Groovy

Haven't much to say these days. I've been feeling exceptionally well, so I must be doing something right.   We bought 36 acres and are remodeling the house that is on it. We plan to move out there when the major renovation is done and the barn is built. We've decided on a tractor and will be buying it soon. We're going to try to be self-sufficient. The property has a deep water well that supplies the house and all the property with water. We plan to plant a garden as soon as we get the t

The Waiting Game :(

Two more days till my consultation with the gastronlogist, hopefully after that my appointment for the scope will be relatively short becuase I don't know how much longer I can keep eating gluten, it really feels like its killing me. I also have another appointment with my family doctor to request complete vitamin and mineral blood work test, since she never did it last time I was in. I also go for my lactose intolerant test on Tuesday, but I really don't think there will be a problem there, but

Suffering While I Wait.

Well today I thought Might be a good day and so far it has been not too bad, My muscles are aching really bad in my shoulders and neck. My stomach was bothering me earlier so I took some of my Pariet, which usually makes those terrible aches and pains go away. For the muscle aches I usually pop a few IB profen or advil. Wish I still had some of those really strong pain killers those would definatly make the pain go away. Only a few more days till I go see the doctor that will be doing my biops

I Need Some Help And Support

I have been living the gluten free lifestyle for 1 month now and I am finally starting to enjoy the food options. I feel like I am eating alot healthier and my energy is going back up, slowly. I was wondering if anyone else went through more emotional symptoms than gut symptoms? I woke up feeling like the world was a dark place and I was really depressed. I had no energy and had thoughts and emotions that I did not think I could ever have. I felt so off balance I thought I could be going cr

New Celiac Pregnancy Scarey!

Well I am happy in a way that I finally found out what is going on with me, and why I have felt this way for years now. The only crappy thing is that I know have to wait to get the biopsy done before I can start the gluten free diet. I have a consultation with the surgeon on tuesday april 1st, and then who knows when the actual biopsy will be. I actually went shopping yesterday and bought some gluten free food, because I was so sick the past few days, I do feel a bit better but still very tired

Trying To Stay Motivated

I have had so many different problems in the past three years. They started from running too hard, when I would get diarrhea while running, and after which I would feel nauseated and sick, as though I were coming down with a virus. I would go to sleep, then wake up feeling fine. After about a year of this, my health seemed to not recover from the running sessions. I would feel sleepy, foggy minded, and had a lot of digestive problems whether or NOT I went running. My doctor ran blood tests

Always Go To Your First Dinner On Your Gluten-Free Cruise

It is very important to arrive for the first dinner. You don't have to always go to dinner in the main dinning room when there is the entire ship to eat at if you wish to try your luck outside the main dinning room. Arriving at the first dinner is your chance to introduce yourself to the Head chef. Even if he never sees you the head chef is going to know that you take your special diet very seriously from your form, and that you made it to dinner.

How to Prepare for a Gluten-Free Port Visit on Your Cruise

This is a person’s preference if they eat at a local restaurant at a port. I get way too sick if I try this--like I said before. I can only suggest how to try to do it but it is you doing it and I can't guarantee any results because I am not cooking or serving the food. GOOD LUCK To eat at a local restaurant while at port You should have already done a search on the internet for the ports you are going to to see if there is a

How Do I Get A Podcast On To My Ipod?

Q: So how do I get this mp3 file on to my ipod or other mp3 player? <br> A: there are so many ways to do this. <br> first, if you're using a Windows computer, use the right-click (you can learn a lot about what's going on by highlighting things and right-clicking them) to "download link target" and let it download on to your desktop. <br> The file name should look like "celiac_dot_com_podcast_edition_001" or whatever the episode number is. <br> Then, drag

Review and be Ready for the Gluten-Free Cruise

This is what you should have done. Or get all done before your departing date. Booked your cruise with the agent and let them know you have a special diet (sometimes it goes through and sometimes it doesn't). Be safe and figure they screwed up. Make sure you know your room number, time you are eating dinner in the main dinning room and your table number. All this goes on your form letter. Contact your cruise line directly and tell them you have a special diet and that you are going to contact t

      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:
