When I was growing up I hated porridge. The texture, plain flavor and soggy taste turned me off. But when I got older I started to enjoy it more and more. My favorite was to add apple and brown-sugar with milk. Maybe my taste-buds mellowed out or they went nuts.
The years passed and I was diagnosed …

Spiky pain in my upper left side chest... Gluten again?
Posted December 27, 2008
I am getting a little freaked out. I have had a come-and-go pain in my chest. There is a slight spiky pain around my heart area which pulses (coming and going). I can work normally, do sports, and think properly, but my pulse seems to be running a little fast. Though, I wonder if that is caused more…
A very merry gluten-free christmas
Posted November 30, 2008
Christmas just isn't the same without cakes and cookies showing the fun fun Christmas cheer. Likewise, your tree won't be complete without candy canes. Not to forgot - stocking stuffers full of fun treats.
Thankfully, we have many choices available with a little extra mental muscle and patience. Ov…
Fighting cold sores or mouth ulcers...
Posted October 18, 2008
The last few weeks of my new job have been a mixed bag of lapsing into eating dairy and gluten packed food and being strict on my diet.
The worst thing is when my location and schedule changes. I have to find new places to eat, try and fail until I find the right balance.
So stress + diet instabil…
Okay okay... I know... Part 3 - So you really want some Vitamins, eh?
Posted September 23, 2008
This is the third and final part of my three part series on Vitamins. In the first section I talked about the four Rules of Vitamins. In the second, I covered a few ways to try modifying your diet or activities to improve your situation (before spending money on all those Vs). In the last addition, …
You need a back-up fridge
Posted September 18, 2008
My gluten-free diet relies heavily on whole foods - rices, fruites, veggies, nuts and other goodies which spoil really fast in the heat (especially Singapore). And when wonderful things like my fridge breaking right after buying a whole bunch of new food happens, I start to wonder if it might be a g…
My refridgerator smells like sweet burning plastic
Posted September 18, 2008
My fridge burnt out this weekend, so I haven't been able to do any gluten-free cooking for a bit. The loss of my fridge also crippled my ability to coupe a lot more than I was expecting.
On Sunday night I started to notice a light plasticy smell coming from inside my fridge, but I thought it was like…

This is the second part of my three part series on Vitamins. In the first section I talked about the four Rules of Vitamins. For this post, I will cover a few ways to try modifying your diet or activities to improve your situation (before spending money on all those Vs).
However, I will repeat this…
Good info on Calcium
Posted September 10, 2008
Most of the sites on the Internet giving advice on Calcium all copy from a Mayo Clinic article which doesn't really answer the question which prompted the post.
With a little more digging, I found a better article on calcium from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Dis…

Vitamins are really really confusing... Part 1 - the Rules
Posted September 7, 2008
I have been trying to figure out the best vitamin to take and really I can't find any one. This journey has also made me really confused about what sort of vitamins I really need to take and how to deal with this whole mess... So to help others along my same path, I have come up with a few posts on …
Where the hell have I been? Binge'n for sure!
Posted September 7, 2008
I have been out of the loop for the last month due to a number of things... First and fore most would be a long binge on Gluten-heavy foods.
For the last four mt slept well, been tired all the time, had really weird movements in the lower-region, and generally been a lot less energetic. And man has m…
Ya ya... I know... I shouldn't... But I did...
Posted August 4, 2008
Sometimes life gets the better of us... Or maybe I should say - sometimes I am just a little stupid (or a lot).
For the last three days I have been back in no movement land... Three days ago, I decided to just go for it by eating lunch at a Chinese restaurant, and oh boy did I eat many many things I …
Building a Social Support Network
Posted August 1, 2008
Being different is never easy... In school you will get picked on or bullied. In the office place you can be ridiculed or side-lined. In life you can suffer from depression and self-doubt. But the funny thing is - we are all different. Just some people try to meet some standard, while others try to …
Knowing the Signs...
Posted July 28, 2008
Last Friday I went to a local place that offers gluten free and dairy free meals for dinner. I had my normal fare, but topped it off with a gluten free chocolate cake, which might not have been all that gluten free and was definitely not dairy free. At first I felt fine, but when I met up with my fr…
Always Hungry...
Posted July 25, 2008
Always hungry… The down side to eating more and better managing my diet, is I start getting hungry all the time. Especially if I am thinking about something or working on a project – welcome to snacking land.
Thankfully, having nuts and rice crackers around helps a ton. But the down side c…
Finding my Weight
Posted July 25, 2008
Diet management by tracking and eating more. I have been trying to gain weight for the last few years, but without much luck. Part of the reason, I suspect has to do with this condition and also partially to do with me never really tracking my diet.
Recently, I have been tracking my diet pretty clos…
This isn't so simple it seems...
Posted July 20, 2008
Countless times, I have explained this to my friends and people I meet, but it doesn't seem to really click.
Even very close friends will still come back and ask, "can you eat this?" when it clearly includes wheat or dairy. Is "no wheat, barely, rye and dairy" really that hard to understand? Or is it…
Feeling different... Before? Now?
Posted July 17, 2008
The more I manage and change my diet, the more different I feel. Well... I just feel more me, I guess. And when I look back to the past year especially, I feel like there was a bag over my head.
Work was pretty horrible, but also it seems my reactions to foods were also getting worse and worse. So no…
Probiotics are my "new" best friends...
Posted July 14, 2008
A few weeks back I wrote about having some trouble with digestion, weird stomach sounds and other general discomfort in my tummy after recovering from food poisoning.
I started taking a few vitamin supplements that were supposed to help with digestion, and they worked right after the meal but didn't …
