About Steve
February 27, 2007 by glutenfreesteve
I was diagnosed with Celiac in April 2006. I was really sick for a month, and when my cousin said to me, “I bet you have a gluten intolerance”, I thought, “You’re crazy.” But about two weeks later, after bloodwork and some scopes, I had my official diagnosis. The diagnosis made complete sense looking back at my health since childhood. I was never able to gain weight and always skinny, lots of cavities (due to my body not absorbing calcium) and always having digestive problems.
When I was first diagnosed, I scoured the Internet in search of how will I eat and live and just enjoy life again? Since my diagnosis, oddly enough, a few of our friends/acquaintances have been diagnosed with either Celiac or being gluten-intolerances (maybe they were jealous of me being healthy?!) I love finding new, great gluten-free recipes and sharing tips/ideas with others so that’s why I started this blog. It’s an insight into my life and hopefully a place for others to come to for help.
I’m so fortunate that I’ve got help and support along the way of my journey, as well. You can see my support staff here. Want to drop me a line? Click here
Below is my picture from May 2006 as I had my farewell to gluten night with my soulmate, “the artist”. I knew I had to go gluten free, so I had to have the last of our wedding cupcakes. No pain, no gain!
Be well.

So your last “gluten” cake was a wedding cupcake?
Perfect!
My last gluten cake was our wedding cake too! LOL
Kate - if you’re looking for a good cake recipe, check out the cupcakes the Artist made me for my birthday. They’re very yummy, great consistency and you’d never know they were gluten free. I would think you could add some cocoa and make them into chocolate or marble cupcakes as well.
Be well.
yhis is my first time here, so i’ll be checking back…….nice pics…………….
Have a nice day !
Hi Steve,
My husband is a coeliac too (and his mother and grand mother), he has been diagnosed since he was a baby.
After I moved in with him I learn alot about gluten free ingredients in stuff. I’m Indonesian and a lot of things in sauces that I was not aware it can be a no no for coeliacs. Luckily now we can get gluten free ingredients quite easily in Ireland, like soy sauce that is very important in Asian cooking.
Recently I bake a lot, mostly cupcakes and cookies (gluten free of course), I’ve never seen anything more heart warming then seeing my husband face while he’s enjoying his treats that very very very seldom he had before
Please stop by at my blog and maybe some recipes I have you can use.
Good luck and enjoy you life.
My husband was recently diagnosed with Celiac. His symptoms had been present since he was a young child. He’s in his early 30s now. Forever, literally, he’s dealt with it, and he was FINALLLLLY sent to a specialist and they determined with similiar tests that yes, Celiac was the case.
That was several months ago, and he’s 100 % better now because he’s gluten-free.
Im glad I found your blog. I love reading others that have this issue, and am always looking for great recipes. Currently, I’m wanting a biscuit recipe … got any suggestions?
Love your blog. Bookmarking it now!
