I had ten minutes to make something to eat while the little Guy napped and before a slate of conference calls began, and the zucchinis sitting on my kitchen counter were judging me for not cooking them yet. So I made zoodles. I can’t cook. And so can you! INGREDIENTS one large zucchini garlic cloves olive oil sea salt cherry…
The battle remains uphill (couldn’t remember how to turn the stove on the other day, which is a testament to how scrambled my pregnant brain is becoming – add that to last week’s inability to use the gas pump on a car I’ve owned for over six years), but I’m still working diligently to cut more meat out of our…
I don’t have celiac disease. I don’t have gluten-sensitivity antibodies. My endocrinologist ran a slate of tests to determine if my body was pro- or anti-gluten, and nothing came back weird. As I mentioned last September, the basic gist is that my body seems to have no trouble at all with gluten. Except that it totally does. For a good,…
I can’t cook, but I can bake. (Which is a bit ironic, because the things I create are best avoided, for my own, personal blood sugar reasons. /digression) And for our annual holiday dessert party, I worked with a cookie recipe from the How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook to bake up some delicious treats. Here’s the low-down on…
Pros and Cons of Going Gluten-Free. (and a brief lament about the smooshed banana)
Diet and Food, Gluten Free, TravelingIt’s been about seven weeks on this “no way, gluten!” lifestyle, and I’m starting to find my footing. But there are still many pros and cons to balance, so I’m listing them here. That way, I can look back at this post in a few months and be all, “Pfffft. Whiner. You’re in the zone now.” Here we go –…
I’m five-ish weeks into a gluten-free life, and the waah waaaaaah is starting to wear off. (I can’t pretend to be above the waaah. Diabetes is such a food-anchored disease, and an additional restriction acts as an extra fun vacuum, sucking the fun out of meals even more.) But I’m rounding a corner with this new (and admittedly self-imposed, but…
Skipping gluten was once classified as a preference, but the last few weeks have shown me – beyond a shadow of a doubt – that gluten is not “guten” for my gut. It feels good, figuring out what was causing so much chaos, and I feel more human, and much healthier. So all that “oooh, so healthy!!” stuff aside, going…
My celiac tests came back negative. So did my IgA or IgG AGAs (these could be exactly the same as a celiac test but I do not know all the lingo and thus, I remain clueless). The basic gist is that my body seems to have no trouble at all with gluten. Except that it totally does. I don’t know…
