Getting used to Celiac Disease!



When I was surfing today...for more Celiac HELP! I came across this picture. I thought, well...that just about sums it up! Anything with wheat, barley, rye and oats is not for ME! Then I wondered how Christmas was going to be. Here comes the pity party....no pumpkin pie? Dang! No homemade rolls! I guess I will eat ALL the CANDY CANES then...haha!

There is hope...I found a store called AGAINST THE GRAIN, if you live in the SLC area. It's a GF Store, and I mean GF....not one item has gluten. Praise GF:) I bought several items to try and I have to say, they aren't bad. It's been two weeks since my diagnoses and, I think, my taste buds are adjusting. I found some cookies that sounded so yummy, so I bought them! My kids tried them...and tried to say they liked them. But the cookie in the garbage with one bit out of it, gave it away. I don't blame them...I would have a YUMMY Chocolate Chip Cookie instead of GF. But, I'm on a mission to find a GF CCC that tastes just like the regular ones. Even if I have to blend flour myself!

If you know a CCC recipe that's GF and you want me to try it.....email it to me! I will try it, post the results and the recipe on my blog. So, I need your help! It's been two weeks since, maybe longer...I've had a CCC cookie. I'm going through withdrawels!

I had no idea that this store existed! The friend I was talking about with Celiac is sort of an ex-friend, so we don't talk anymore, but we still have a mutual friend, so I will tell her to pass along the information.

I came across your blog on Tip Junkie. I fell in love with it!

I will have to tell my mom. She has Celiac. So does my sister in law. When I was younger and lived at home she would make rice cake, or rice cookies.

It's so crazy how many people are affected by Celiac's Disease, and I am always amazed at what people have to do to live with it. Great find!

"Against The Grain" - I like that! I should try to get a T-shirt made up with the line "Celiacs go against the grain!".

I am a fellow celiac - My diagnosis was just confirmed this past week.

My step-grandfather's daughter has a bakery that caters to people with Celiac! Check it out, she lists some of the stores that carry their products! http://www.nutrilicious.com/

I have some of the same issues, it can be difficult to live with this health problem! Best wishes!

Hey Kristen, I was so excited to come across your blog, it is just ridiculous how little we see you guys. I am pleased with your list of GF snacks, it's not everything, but some chocolate to keep you from going crazy
