About Me

Diagnosed with gluten intolerance about 15 years ago with positive iga ttg testing. No other testing has been done. Severe reactions to gluten. A doctor recently commented I might have celiac disease.  Lifetime asthmatic complicated by gluten. Recently diagnosed with eczema. I think it’s directly related to gluten, as well.

Being totally gluten free is a challenge! It’s doable, just requires a lot of preparation and dedication.

    I went wine tasting yesterday and had a gluten reaction, too. I experienced swelling (4 pounds fluid retention) and a minor flare of eczema and rosacea. After some research, the curing of the wine barrels can often contain gluten.

    I’ve had the best success with Safeway Select instant coffee. Hope that helps.

    I went through the same thing when I was first diagnosed. I had a relapse into anorexia from the fear and overwhelm. One of the symptoms of not eating enough consistently is nausea and pain when you do eat regardless of what it is. I saw a registered dietitian who helped me find food options and balance what I was eating and could safely eat. Breakfast was...

    Thank you all for your information! I’m not formally diagnosed with celiac disease. The doctor stopped at the positive blood test. Is it worth getting the diagnosis or sticking with lifestyle changes?

    Thank you, Trents! I’ll read up on that. Still learning how to navigate the site and search for specifics. I went back to gluten for a couple years and I’m remembering all the changes I had to make before. The suggestions you made were my solutions.

    Yes, fresh foods are fine. Home cooking isn’t the issue. I’m skilled and careful. I’m sensitive to lactose, soy, sulfates, nitrates/nitrites, sugar/artificial sweeteners, anatto and a few others. I’m fine with gluten-free sausage and bacon, yet every type of lunch meat triggers a reaction. I’m struggling to give up more is the real issue, I guess. ...

    I experienced the isolation and social implications mostly in the first year after diagnosis. Learning how to manage my diet made it easier. I became a phenomenal gluten free cook and baker! Socializing and dating weren’t an issue for the most part. I encouraged non-food related activities and cooked for dates which was a winner! My closest f...

    I’m about 3 months back into a really clean diet. I’m getting sensitive to more and more foods, just like before. I’m reacting to most processed certified gluten free foods. Any suggestions how to deal with this?
