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!

To Eat Gluten Free Oats, or Not To Eat Gluten Free Oats?

When you're diagnosed with Celiac Disease, you are given a list of what food you cannot eat. Wheat, Barley, Rye, and Oats. However, you find that there is such a thing as gluten free oats. You wonder if it is safe for you to chance eating it. You think to yourself: "It's gluten free, so it cannot be too bad, right?" Depending on how sensitive your Celiac is, it may be bad. While a majority of Celiacs may be able to stomach gluten free oats, and granola, there are a small percentage of us that cannot handle GF oats and granola. I fall into the sensitive category. I loved eating oatmeal, before I was diagnosed with Celiac. After I was diagnosed, I was lost. It was not until a month or two after my diagnosis, where I discovered gluten free oats. I picked some up, and started eating it every morning for breakfast. It was not until day 3 of eating GF oats, where I began to feel sick. My stomach was cramping, I was fatigued, I was nauseated. I thought I had been "

Celiac Disease and Dental Defects

You may not have known this, but Celiac Disease affects more than just your small intestine. It can affect just about all areas of your body, including your teeth. It is fairly common for people suffering from Celiac Disease, to have dental problems. Dental problems, due to Celiac Disease can involve anything from tooth discoloration, poor enamel formation, to translucent-looking teeth. Sadly, these problems are permanent, and do not get better once beginning a gluten free diet. However, some Celiacs have gone great lengths to hide these imperfections. Some have had their teeth whitened and have purchased veneers. One thing that interested me in researching this subject, was the fact that, there are a lot of dentists out there that do not know that Celiac Disease can create dental problems. However, there are dentists out there that do know this correlation and have suspected that some patients may have Celiac Disease. The dentist, then, refers them to a GI doctor for further tes

Soon, you could own a scanning device that checks for gluten in food.

Wouldn't it be great if we never had to worry about being 'glutened' when dining out? It would be freaking fantastic, right? With the wonders of technology, this could be a reality. The science and technology gods may be blessing us with a scanning device that could determine whether or not there is gluten in our food. A company in San Francisco, California called 6SensorLabs , is in the process of developing a portable device that has the capability of detecting gluten in food. The company is only one year old, and was founded by a woman who was diagnosed with a gluten allergy in college. She, and her co-founder wanted to create a device so others could have a stress free dining experience while out to eat. As for the size, it will be half the size of an iPhone, but will also be thicker. It will contain a sensor that will quickly detect gluten in food. The company is hoping to have this device available sometime next year. There is no word on how much it will cos
