New To The Gluten-free World

Hello! On Monday, my 3.5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease . . . and so we are new to the Gluten-free world. This has been an overwhelming week for our family, but each day seems a little more manageable since I am beginning to learn all about the Gluten-free diet. Any "beginners" info, advice or comments would be welcomed. Will it be easy for her as she grows? Do you know of any lunch meat or hot dog brands she could have? Any restaurants where she will be able to eat?

Freak Cold

I'm home from my California T-giving holiday. I survived.   I'm really bummed, though. I haven't had a cold/sinus infection/flu or anything like that since going on the gluten-free diet almost four years ago. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it actually has something to do with gluten. Anyway, I was beginning to think I was immune and was never going to have another cold again, which was a thrilling thought. I was feeling somewhat invincible and smug.   So, no cold for alm

Bad Food This Evening?

ugh, feel awful this evening. I've been fighting a sore throat for two or three days and have a bit of a cough. We went out to a movie this afternoon (Enchanted, cute) and I ate a little popcorn, then we went to a new Hong Kong Buffet. OMG, my stomach is so upset and I can clear a room with no effort   I don't know if it was only the carbs or if there was wheat in the food. I tried to eat things without the sauces and stick to vegetables and unbreaded meats but there HAD to be something there

First Gluten-free T-giving

Well, it's here. This will be my first holiday season going gluten-free. I took on cooking the thanksgiving dinner for 11 so I could control the gluten. That's really easier in some ways than going somewhere else. My family has been good about accommodating me, but it's hard to trust that someone else's cooking is not cross contaminated. My sister's OK, but my mom does not get it at all! All she keeps saying is 'you can't eat anything anymore.' Well that would be true if I ate like she doe

Barley Challenge, Paranoia, And Other Musings

I wanted to find out if my reaction was to just wheat or to gluten. Decided to do a barley challenge to find out for sure. Had a teaspoon of cooked barley last night. Had some lightheadedness and very minor reflux, but otherwise ok. No bloating, no pain, none of what I had with the wheat challenge. Will probably take a couple of days for everything to work its way out (so to speak) but so far so good. Some minor tummy problems this morning (belching, slight hearburn, repeating), but not ba

Gluten Free Wed/honeymoon

Hi. I just got engaged and my fiance and I are considering a run away to the beach wedding/honeymoon. Does anyone know of a destination that would be friendly to my gluten free needs. It would be a most awful time to get glutened. Any advice or thoughts on this matter would be welcome!   Thanks, Amy   gluten-free 1 1/2 year in Pittsburgh

Bad, Mad, Sad Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving is almost upon us and for the first time in my life I'm dreading it. It's my favorite holiday, one in which I've almost always spent with my parents, brothers and sisters, and their children. For the last 15 +/- years they've all come to my house for the holiday. Our numbers have dwindled somewhat because of children growing up, going to college, getting married and my oldest brother moved to FL so they haven't been able to make the trip the last two years.   My husband's

Inpired In My Bed

I woke up before the alarm this morning and a silly little poem shaped itself in my mind within a couple of minutes:   Back 2 Front, Front 2 Back, I'm hundred percent celiac.   It rules my life in many ways, Cuz getting glutened means pain for days. Grocery shopping, dining out, or being a guest, Are incredibly stressful events, at best.   Poke and pick, Pick and poke, Living a gluten free lifestyle is no joke!

Foods I Can Not Handle

this is to update my "discoveries" this last month or so. I definitely can not handle milk or cheese. Cottage cheese doesn't seem to bother me though. I can NOT handle potatoes at all. The pain in my back and the bloating in my upper left rib and back area is horrible. I, of course, can not handle wheat at all. And carbonated beverages are out.   So, the bad food list is this:   gluten milk cheese potatoes carbonated beverages   I'm not sure about corn....still testing that on

Grocery Shopping - The New Adventure

So here I am, spending most of tonight surfing the web and printing out gluten-free product lists, ingredients to watch out for, recipes, meal plans, etc.... Yeesh! I'm beginning to feel guilty about the number of trees that died in the name of "Safe Shopping" and the need to fill our bellies. Hope the 3-ring binder is going to be big enough.   The last time I hit the grocery store, I was so overwhelmed. Hardly bought anything. Figured I'd go in prepared this time.   It seems like foo

Where To Get A Straight Answer

Hi Well I'm new at this, my first time and I'm not sure if I doing this right .... My kids would get a kick out of this if they knew I was writing a blog... I have just been diagnosed like so many of you. I'm learning, and getting a bit tired of not getting a straight answer... I'm trying to find out what products are safe. I think I have the food thing down pat, but struggling with the shampoo, makeup, hair dye stuff. anyone have any suggestions.

If This Is Exciting Enough To Write About, Imagine How Boring The Rest Of My Life Really Is

So, here I am 2 weeks past the self dx and 5 weeks gluten-free altogether. Still not feeling fabulous, but better. Have more energy and I attribute that to the B12 supplements. I've been actually getting up off my butt and doing stuff around the house the past few days. Its nice to be able to do that without having to stop and rest every 5-10 minutes. Also think my semi-annual house purge has been kicking in. Gotta get all the extraneous junque out of the house and get it thoroughly cleane

Sandwiches At Last

Well, I am happy to report that all of the food I bought at the gluten-free store is good. The Glutino crackers are excellent. They're a cross between a saltine and a Ritz. The bread, made from amaranth flour is pretty decent, too. Not like wheat bread, mind you, but good enough to enjoy. And the Glutino cereal tasted sort of like a mix between Honey Comb and Captain Crunch.   So, I can't remember the name of the bread mix that I saw on-line that prompted me to go to the store, but I need

Yay Bread!

My mom and I were going to try to make a gluten-free potato bread, but when I went to Meijer to go get the stuff to make it (xanthan gum is expensive!) I found that they sell a lot of gluten-free stuff! One golden find was Open Original Shared Link. I may buy a case online, since one box was $5.49 at Meijer. All of the ENER-G rice bread went out to the birds and squirrels...though most of it was still out on the lawn when when we left! It'll be interesting to see if it's still there.   My gran

Hello Everyone

I don't know what to say except that I did a search on google out of desperation for some sort of connection between asthma and gluten. I found u guys...........   I am new at this but I was disturbed to read that some people do not believe that there is a connectrion between them.   Let me assure you that I have been one of the worse asthmatics and sinus suffers for over 53 yrs. This included every drug on the market that came out to help. I have been under oxygen tents, lived on larg

Random Thoughts

Ok so I was at Walmart a couple of weeks ago and was looking at the rice cakes, which are like stale cardboard (but since I can eat them I love them) and ran into a lady who's daughter has celiac as well. It was really amazing, I had never met anyone with the disease, other than myself of course, and being new to North Carolina, she gave me some really good advice about where to shop. I know she will probably never run across this, but I just wanted to thank her for all her help and great ideas,

No Birthday Cake

Detective tried to track down a bakery that would create a gluten free cake, so we wouldn't have a box-cake or a frozen one. I finally helped him out with the name of one, and even that one said they needed 2 weeks notice! What are they gonna do...order it from the midwest where all the good stuff comes from and then pass it off as theirs? Gimmeabreak! So I have brownies that my almost-sister made me. Great brownies, but still not a birthday cake. I don't want to bake my own birthday cak

All Gluten Free

While browsing the on-line gluten-free store, I came across a site that gave the name and address of a local store that sells a certain bread mix. As an aside, it said that the store has freshly baked gluten-free bread. So today I decided to check it out. The place is called Delicious & Fit (stupid name if you ask me). Anyway, I was a little confused when I walked in because the store front was actually a small restaurant. When I enquired about the products, they directed me to the back

      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:
