Psst...She's baack!

 Hey everyone! So, I know I was supposed to shut down the blog last year after everything that went down in the Celiac universe, but, I decided that would be a travesty. I been looking at my views from the time I stopped writing up to today, and I've been getting a couple hundred views, so people are still interested in hearing from lil ole me. Those of you who have been coming to check up on me, I think that's pretty cool of you. It's because of you guys that I am revamping this blog!

So, I'm going to come back, and talk about all things Celiac related.

Here's what I will be sharing here on Celiac Warrior Gal:
-The latest in Celiac news.
-Some of my favorite recipes.
-Reviews of food items that I've tried.
-I will also be sharing what I've gone through, and things that I will be working on.
-I will probably talk a lot about my grandmother, since she was the reason I grew up knowing about Celiac disease in the first place. Plus she's the one that passed the gene to me.

Also, if anyone needs any advice, I'm here to help.

I do have a few rules. Before I get to the rules, I just want to say that I know this disease sucks. However, with everything that we have, we don't really have anything to complain about food-wise. Yes, getting 'glutened' stinks. The diarrhea is awful. The stomach pain is awful. The rage we get makes us want to go Linda Blair from The Exorcist on everyone around us. But, we have so much food at our disposal than we did 20, 30+ years ago.
With that in mind, I won't tolerate complaining, in terms of food. If you want to talk about restaurants, we can talk about the ones that we haven't had the best of luck at. I will be discussing the ones I've gotten the shaft at.
I won't tolerate bullying. It was because of bullying that I had to 86 this blog in the first place. I don't want to do that again. Bullying myself, or anyone that comments will not be tolerated.
If you are following me on Google+ (and I hope you are), you will see several different blog shares on there, I write for a ton of different blogs. Of course, you are MORE THAN WELCOME to read those posts. However, if you are offended by any of the titles you see, don't read it. Simple, right?

Anyways, I hope you like the new (and improved) Celiac Warrior Gal blog. I won't be involving myself with any of the more popular bloggers because that got me in trouble last year (the whole bullying thing). I'm pretty much doing my own thing in order to avoid all the drama. Anywho, I hope you like what you see, and I look forward to hearing from you all soon!

Yours truly,
Celiac Warrior Gal!

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

 Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers. People like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Emmy Rossum had been living with the disease for years before I was diagnosed. I researched both and learned a lot from them. Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

photo credit: southparkdigital Greetings Celiac Warriors! Recently, South Park did a gluten free episode that got a lot of attention in the gluten free and Celiac communities. For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about. I'm going to give you the cliff notes version: The episode starts off with the kids returning to school after their start up company fails. Then the show cuts to the teachers lounge where the teachers are discussing Mr. Mackey who has gone gluten free. Mr. Mackey comes back and starts blaming all the world's problems on gluten. A co-worker becomes annoyed by all the gluten free talk and starts screaming at Mr. Mackey to shut up. Mackey states that behavior problems are due to gluten consumption. A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i

Why we need more awareness about Celiac Disease.

Celiac Disease Awareness Month is here, and it is important that we continue to raise awareness in hopes it helps the rest of the world to take us seriously. This morning, I came across a heartbreaking story of a woman who died from complications of celiac disease. She had ignored her symptoms and didn't adhere to a GF diet. She, like all of us, ate wheat products for a portion of her life. Her body loved wheat. I mean, wheat products were yummy! When she was diagnosed with Celiac, not only was it during a time when gluten free food was very sparse, she had difficulty giving up what she loved: foods with wheat ingredients. She suffered the consequences of not adhering to a GF diet, as her liver gave out on her. She also had an enlarged stomach and had gained 30 pounds. She succumbed to her complications, and her daughter has spoken about her mother's health issues. She, like all of us, are hoping for more awareness to be raised. We as Celiacs need more support. All of
