Top clues that you may have Celiac disease
Having been diagnosed myself about six years ago, I feel pretty qualified to offer up this diagnostic checklist: You fall asleep at your desk more than three times per day and now have bruises on your forehead from hitting the keyboard. The letter “H” is permanently stamped into your right eyebrow. You eat like there’s [...]
It pays to go with your gut
Sometimes you just have to respect your gut instinct for important decisions. (Pun intended) After about six months of dealing with all of the items on the surefire Celiac diagnostic checklist, I decided to pay a visit to the local gastroenterologist. That was fun. I’ll spare the details, but let’s just say that the local [...]

Are you allergic to bread?
Question (from pretty much everyone): “Are you allergic to bread?” Me (over and over again): “No, but I am allergic to being asked if I’m allergic to bread.” Next Question: “So can you eat donuts?” Me: “Can you eat rocks?” Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition, not an allergy. There’s a big difference between the [...]
au⋅to⋅im⋅mune [aw-toh-i-myoon]
The concept of “autoimmune” is pretty simple. Basically, your auto-antibodies have a terminal crack habit. Either that, or they have spent too many days watching re-runs of Gilligans Island and have lost all short term memory as a result.

About Celiac Bites…
After an 18 month adventure through the catacombs of the medical system, I was formally diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The bright side of that journey is that I know 3,712 nasty and horrible conditions that I do NOT have. [Read More …]

No it’s not gluten free, it has carmel color…
Nope – not gluten free. I and my 3 daughters found out the hard way!
And the verdict is….
Gluten Free!
This is an interesting one for a couple of reasons. Yes, A&W has caramel color. However, most caramel coloring (in the US anyway) is from non-wheat sources – either corn syrups or cane sugars.
The other interesting thing about this one is that many people report that root beer in general gives them “celiac” like symptoms – but not as a result of gluten. Root beer in general just does not agree with many people.
Beware of brand to brand issues though – there are plenty of root beers that do in fact contain gluten, but A&W does not!
Enjoy!
YAY!!!!!!
I know! Can you imagine life without A&W? I need to do a little research on the gluten free status of Dr. Brown’s Root Beer and Cream Soda. Anyone know?
