Here I am, nine months gluten free, and I want to eat something that makes me sick. Why would that be? It is like a craving, I have to have it, and I do know it will make me sick, but I feel I have to have it. It is not a plain sandwich I want, nor even a hamburger, or a cake or a biscuit. But I want a piece (or a bag) of licorice allsorts!...

How/why The Immune System Reacts To Gluten?
Kaycee commented on mle-ii's blog entry in mle_ii's Blog
Mikey, I would not call these random ramblings! They are quite deliberate and technical. Random ramblings, for me is something that probably makes sense to me, but probably no-one else! But then if I look harder into what you are saying, then yes I probably don't understand, yet. I'm not trying to put you down, if anything I am putting... -
It has been a difficult couple of days. First my husband had to go to the High Court to sort out the will his father had left in trust for him and his stepmother. It is a big long story, and it has gone on for quite long enough, about four years. So on Friday, it was all sorted out and both parties seem relatively happy. But it has cost quite a bit in...

There is nothing worse than a drop of rain (it was a big drop) in the middle of the night to remind me that I have washing on the line! And then, this morning, my son, the big 6 footer can’t find any jeans. Guess where they are? On the line! I wake up this morning feeling like a truck has run me over. I only had a small glass of red wine. Usually n...

Another episode in going gluten free. As you can see it has been a battle and a long journey, and now six months later I am still getting there with my food woes. I do embrace the diet, but it has been a slow journey to get to here. 1 Feb Hot night. Jim is relaxing as after yesterday, he is totally whacked. He gets impatient about not coming right...

25 July 2006 Well the Irish Coffee was a hit with my stomach, and not a problem. So it was a well chosen anniversary present for us both. This is the continued journey to being gluten free. Excerpts from my diary, and food journal, it is probably just as boring as the previous entry, but it is helping me a lot with where and how far I have gone in...

Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?
Kaycee replied to Sarah8793's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Now I eat functionally. In other words, I eat to nourish my body and nothing more. It is an amazing change. And the best part is--I don't miss the old way. Sarah -
Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?
Kaycee replied to Sarah8793's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well, Sarah, you did not get much response about dumping. And that is precisely what it feels like. Now that I think I have it, even though I mentioned the urgency and the cramps as one of my symptoms at the doctors, he didn't do a double take and say whoa, do I just sit on it, or what. Yes overeating would always be the key to getting it, if I didn't... -
Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?
Kaycee replied to Sarah8793's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am interested in this topic and don't want it to dissappear. Naturally I thought my dumping, (not a regular thing by no means, but when it happened it was exactly as mentioned.) was related to coelaic once I had been diagnosed with it. I had not had surgery when it had started, and blamed my dumping on eating too much rich stuff, or when I get stressed... -
Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?
Kaycee replied to Sarah8793's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well I googled and looked up dumping syndrome. It sounds pretty familiar to me. It feels like the whole of my intestines have been emptied. I get stomach cramps and then gurgles in my stomach on the left hand side, and I can feel things working their way down. Then it is off to the loo I go. I first experienced this when I was a teenager, at least 3... -
15 July 2006 Congratulations to me, we have been married one year today. One wonderful year. Unfortunately I volunteered last night to do a stint of volunteering at the local library today, forgetting what today was. But Jim forgave me that indiscretion, it was only for 3 hours. Which gave him enough time to walk the dog, and check out a few cars, or...

It was last day of holiday yesterday. Caught up with my little sister and had a couple of uneasy moments. I mentioned to her I had been feeling better while on holiday, and I mentioned it was probably because my eating had even changed down here, less and less additives etc. and more natural stuff. But she jumps on me discounting what I am trying to say...

I agree with you, it is not a rogue gene, it was just a bit of tongue in cheek on my part. My mothers mother had rhemitoid athritis, and my father's side has quite a lot of bowel cancer, so it could be from either side. My grandmother is of Croatian descent, and my father very english. But isn't it strange that nobody in my family wants to know...

10 July, 2006 Well it has been a few days, I am still on holiday, but it is nearly over, two more sleeps then I will be winging my way back home. Holiday has been great, I have tried to make it relaxing, but dad keeps on thinking that I should be doing things, and not just reading or doing a crossword. But I am quite happy doing those things. I...

3rd July, 2006 Another day, not as cold as yesterday. Forecast is for snow tomorrow, so that could be exciting. Me and dad went visiting a few of his friends. In the afternoon, we went to visit a friend of his who has coeliac, and has been living with it for 10 years. I was a bit apprehensive about going to see him to start with, as he is quite a bit...

2 July 2006 It’s very early this morning, and it is very dark. Dad says about minus 2 degrees. Nice and snuggly inside, but rather crisp outside. When it is light I will be able to see the snow on this hills around. There is one hill here, more like a foothill, with a concrete shaped horse on the side at the top, that can be seen for miles. It should h...

1 July, 2006 Got up early and me and Jim off away to Auckland to catch the plane. It was a cold morning, a bit of ice around. Traffic was not too bad as far as Auckland was concerned. But once at the airport, the wait was terrible. Took three quarters of an hour to go through getting bags checked. Just as well we were early, as we thought we would have...

30 June 2006 Tomorrow early, we drive for 3 hours down to Auckland, and I catch a plane and go to Christchurch, which will take an hour and then catch a bus and travel for another 3 hours to get to Waimate. It will be a long day! But worth it in the end to see my mum and dad. Gosh I miss them. I think I might have been stressing out today, trying...

Tell me, for you who did not have any symptoms so to speak, what happens with you now if you accidently get glutened? Do you suffer? I would find it hard going without something and not have any visible reason for doing it. For me it is easy, because I do suffer. Suffering now, and I can't sleep. I am one of those nearly 50 year olds who thought I was perfectly...

Another freezing day, ice first thing, and frozen fingers. We are not used to this type of weather. Three frosts this year already, compared to none for us last year. I will have to harden up, as I will be in the deep dark cold south in a couple of days, where they have been having blizzard like conditions. Was a long day at work. 8.30am till 6pm tonight...

One more week of work, then two weeks off for holidays. Six more sleeps then winging my way down to Christchurch, then further south to see my dad, and then my mum when she comes back from warmer climes in Darwin. She would’ve spent 3 weeks up there with two of my brothers and a sister. Funny how most of my brothers and sisters live in Australia, leaving j...

So true, just say no. I have had no difficulty in saying no, and like you I don't understand how people can get tempted. I must admit it is harder to say no when on a diet, as I admit to cheating on that heaps of times. But coeliac is so different, one crumb and it can be quite damaging to our health. A diet, I guess you can cheat, without feeling...

Well this is one of those days that don’t come around very often. As it was a teachers only day, and as I am not a teacher, I had the choice whether to come into work or not. So I opted to stay away, and catch up on a few things at home. Had to finish my library book, “Map of the world” by Jane (Janet?) Hamilton, really good book, but already two d...

I am usually a tolerant person, but since I have discovered an intolerance, I am thinking maybe I should act the part. This is going back a little time and it is a real rant. When first diagnosed with coeliac I had felt like I am on my own with this. The forums have been great, but we are all such different people with so many different needs, it is...

Interesting day to say the least. Morning same as usual at work. Was told by an informed man this morning, that a woman needs one man who can do many things, yet a man needs many women who can do one thing. Is it true? I always thought that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. He did not quite agree with me there, maybe I have got it all w...
