Celiac Disease & Gluten-Free Diet Blogs

Too Much Info!

After re-reading my posts I can see I definetly need help...so I went on a little search - that turned into a big search and confused the hell out of me! I thought I knew nothing before - I am now convinced of it! There are words I have never even heard of, words I cannot pronounce..... :eek: I had a guest come into the motel where I work and she told me she has a daughter that is Celiac. She had some great cookie recipes - but again - I can't cook! So she made them for me and left them at th

Wanna Have Your Baby

A man shouted, "Andy, I wanna have your baby!" at the Indian Wells quarterfinal where I was watching (with my tongue hanging out, lustingly) Andy Roddick beat Ljubicic in two sets with two tiebreaks in 80 degree evening weather with a nice breeze. Loved. It. Afterwards, in the perfect finale to this starry evening, I retracted the top in the Benz (MB is the tournament sponsor that gave me the ticket discount) and smelled my FAVORITE scent ever on the way home-- ORANGE BLOSSOMS!!

I Can't Stop!

I would rather starve for 2 days than eat some of the stuff I can cook I am sooooo sick of rice - I haven't made it right yet! I can go for a couple of days when my willpower is in gear, I won't cheat, I'll just wait till I'm finally hungry enough and I'll make fish and veggies and of course RICE!   But when I have brain fog and I just don't care, I'll break down and eat a burger or something...I figure I'll pay for it later - I do ... but at the time it seems worth it! and then of cou

Am I The Only One?

How come everyone seems to know so much about this disease? Is it cause you have the handbooks? Go to the meetings? Know how to cook? Are the handbooks that big of a deal? Sheesh for the life of me I can't figure this stuff out...it seems unless it's in simple step by step instructions - I can't seem to comprehend it I don't mean things like you can use this product or that product - what I need is ready to prepare meals - kinda like the way I have them on my website (www.theceliac.com) under

The Proof Is In The Stuffing

This is harder than I thought it would be....and I don't mean going Gluten Free, either! I just spent the last 40 minutes trying to figure out the settings for this website! Sad, but true.   Anyway, I've always got something to say. As I sit here, with my gut on fire 'cause I used some idiot-premade-sauce for my rice crust pizza. It didn't say gluten free, but I didn't see any warning ingredients, so I went for it. {{sigh}} Another lesson learned, I suppose.   I have known I couldn't

It's Amazing!

Isin't it just amazing how people around you have absolutely no clue as to what it's like to be gluten-free! Everybody wants to go out and get "pizza" or "burgers", even after repeatedly telling them about being celiac. The worst....a family member....living with a person who watched what you went through for 20 years, and now on the road to recovery - a total 360 life change - and they still ask "WHAT DO YOU WANT ON YOUR PIZZA"? OMG - come on! This is hard enough...help me out!

Republican Dinners

My husband and I went to our first ever Republican Party dinner. It's not really my "thang", but we needed to go because my husband is considering running for Congress in 2008. We needed to do a "meet and greet".   Anyway, we had specified ahead of time that I needed a gluten-free meal. The person my husband talked to on the phone told us that one gluten-free meal had already been requested for someone else, so it would be no problem for me to have one, too. So when we found our table (the

Eggcellent! Egg Drop

Some of us have never gotten around to getting that book about gluten free restaurant eating, but I'm aware that Pad Thai is naturally Gluten-Free(people on this board rave about it). So, I finally tried it yesterday at this CHEAP restaurant (all lunch plates $4). It was spicy and delectable! The whole dining experience was nice--ordering without having to specify anything (except, I did make clear that I'm allergic to soy sauce). Funny, I noticed everyone oogling MY plate, for a change!

Go-dive-in-a *#(@&(*$@#

After being gone all weekend for work, a romantic interest of mine came over, showered me with affection, told me how much he missed me, sang love songs to me, and gave me a gift bag with a little shirt that recommends misbehavior, and two giant Godiva chocolate-covered strawberries, one dark and one milk chocolate since he forgot which kind I could have. Well, how do I tell him that if it's Godiva, I can't have it at all??!!! Eventually I alluded to that and told him to eat them, but he refuse

Should've Trusted My Gut

Enjoyed a cool techno teacher conference in Palm Springs this weekend. Yes, I was hungry and annoyed after eating a bunless burger and NONE of the divinely greasy and thick onion rings my compadres ordered at lunch. (red meat still isn't a treat for me, it's merely tolerable.) At night I Dined on the lovely, warm patio in a Tex-Mex restaurant. Palm Springs has a large gay community, so it was noticeable that all of the waiters we had all weekend seemed very effeminate (sp?). Well, when I asked

A Long Time....

I have a website Open Original Shared Link that tells my story in a nutshell...but I want to start at the beginning and end up where I am today! I am still having issues BIG issues! I have had surgery (I'll get into that) as a result of the celiac disease, and I'm still not done! Talk about poor health! You live your life thinking things will get better then BAM poop happens! I want so much to have a normal life again...I say normal cause I know I've changed and I don't like who I am now!

More To Come!

I just found this forum again after almost a year of lost hard drives and computer crashes and anything else that could go wrong! I plan on getting active again and getting the information I need to live my life properly, without resorting to eating foods I'm not supposed to! Over the next month I plan on updating my web site - Open Original Shared Link - to what I have learned to date, however, I will keep it as simple as possible because when I was diagnosed I couldn't find anything I could

First Thoughts

Well, I am new to all this gluten free stuff. It is a little overwhelming. No, a lot overwhelming. I got my results from enterolab back on 2/27/07. I have been reading up on this and trying to decide what foods will be safe to eat. Was feeling pretty confident until I learned I am also casein sensitive. That throws a wrench into things. I LOVE cheese. Milk not so much or butter. But I know there is hidden milk in a lot of products. I am going "home" in a week, and can't ask my sister t

Celiac Pride

Hello, my name is B and I've been gluten-free, against the grain, doin' it "celiac style", and oh so "special" for just over a year. YEP. Went to my first celiac support group meeting the other night. WOW. I saw WHITE people! I'm usually one of the only white folks around here in So. Cal. (my students are mostly other races, each year I have one white out of twenty). It was really great to meet another celiac (lots, actually) for the first time! I didn't have to worry about the food there

Hmmm...

Just need a place to collect my thoughts, I'm think i may have a problem with wheat or gluten or both, this is why:-   When i was a baby, everytime my mum fed me i would be sick - the doctors said it was where the muscles that keep food down weren't fully formed and i would grow out of it.   As a todler my parents were worried about my lack of appetite, the doctors told them not to be silly, i would grow out of it, they resorted to leaving scraps of food lying around because i would eat a bi

Nice, Easy Breakfast

My mother sent me a newspaper clipping of a whole bunch of things you can do with corn tortillas. This morning I made one of those recipes. You warm the tortillas (3, because there are 3 of use) in the microwave until soft (40 seconds). Then you gently fold them into a muffin tine mold so that they are flauted. Then you crack an egg into each one. Then you sprinkle on salt and pepper and any fresh herb of your choice (we do rosemary). You can add a dash of cream to each one and then sprink

Cookies, Steak, And Ab Crunches

My favorite cookies are Sun Flour Baking Company's peanut butter or pumpkin. Warmed in microwave or dipped in marshmallow fluff is another way to really indulge with these yummy babies. Also Glutino Lemon wafer cookies. As Rachel Ray would say, Yum-O! I also chowed on some toffee Crunch N Munch this weekend. Can you tell what time it is for me...? I was feeling lethargic and I recalled that I hadn't had my vitamins today...also I haven't had meat or raisins in days. (Had some bacon with bre

February 18, 2007

What a month! Son is now in two major theater productions and rehearsals nearly every night. We got stranded for several days out of town because of snow and ice. I had a terrible time staying gluten free and one day said to heck with it. Of course now I've been constipated since Wednesday, feel bloated and stuffy, moody too.   The family got into a conversation last night about expressing emotions. Hubby said none of the guys he ran around with growing up expressed emotions. Son and

Grilled Chicken Breast & Vegetable Medely

So, as dinner time approached this evening I was stuck for an idea of what to cook. I had a steak at lunch yesterday, so beef was out of the question. Chicken sounded like a good idea, so I thumbed through a couple of my newly purchased gluten-free cookbooks, but was turned off by the amount of ingredients required or prep-time involved for the chicken dishes.   I searched Food Network's website for a recipe that I could modify (if necessary), and came across a recipe for a grilled chicken d

The First Post

So, it's official...I now have a blog. I've played around with these things before, but just never really got into them. I suppose that is because I never really had anything to write about.   I was diagnosed with Celiac disease roughly four years ago, but just started a gluten-free lifestyle about one month ago. I was tired of feeling terrible all the time, and I also considered the long term complications and problems that may hinder my health as a result of continuing to eat foods contai

Passing It On

People always tell me I'm bubbly. My marriage counselor said that my perky demeanor probably really grated on my (now ex-)husband's depression. When people tell me they'd hate not eating bread, I usually say at least I can have chocolate! But, most...no, ALL of the Valentine candy that my students gave me yesterday had WHEAT or MALT. So, I regifted it to the secretaries and ate some Hershey's kisses and marshmallows a kid brought. The last two weeks we've had to work until 6:30 PM and so t
