  1. please contact me at wvstephie@msn.com about shingles ASAP. thx

  2. Thanks tarnalberry for telling us about Ciroq vodka. I only saw it recently when getting my fave vodka 'Iceberg' (corn) but now I'm curious to try Ciroq as a special treat!
  3. I don't drink anything but corn or potato vodka but someone I know has been drinking a rock-gut vodka that says 'grain alcohol' on the bottle and it's from Albertson's who says they don't know what it's made of. Anyway, we were in the liquor store on Sat. and the guy there was showing me all the new vodkas made with grapes and even soy...very pricey to say...
  4. As I've said on other such post - after getting all the gluten out of my system, I now react to Cheetos. The man. told me that they are process on their wheat based lines so cc could occur. But Fritos do not cause me to react so I now am pretty sure it's the monosodiumglutamate in the Cheetos that is the culprit. As fas as I know, MSG is gluten free. Now...
  5. The only wine I found that has gluten is some Ports so don't drink those without checking them.
  6. I think there are five Celiac research centers in the US. Many US cities and towns do not have one doctor that know as much as most of us do about Celiac disease. I wish I had better news for you but that's just the way it is. What I'd suggest is joining a local Celiac support group (if you're lucky enough to have one in your area) and ask them who they see...
  7. Duncan Hines has now reinvestigated their Creamy Homestyle frostings (canned) and they are gluten free...excpet for maybe strawberry for some reason. I'm going to try Jerseyangels recipe for frosting one day though - I think even I can do that one.
  8. celiac3270 - you changed your font for us old folks to read like I asked - thanks!
  9. But guess what? Pillsbury told Lani (Clan Thompson) they don't test for barley in their ready-made frosting and will only call out wheat on their labels. So Lani does not Pillsbury on her safe list either. She is still looking for other brands that are safe to add to the list. If you didn't get sick from Pillsbury my guess is it could be gluten-free but of...
  10. I forgot to include some info about gluten-free Bakehouse stuff being discontinued. It is not going away which was a rumor earliet today on another Celiac forum. They pulled it from some Canada shelved due to some label problems. Lee Tobin said that will be resolved soon but he also said they are about to introduce sourdough bread and hamburger buns. I can...
  11. What is wrong with these food manufacturers????????? On the new Clan Thompson list the Duncan Hines frosting called Homesytle that used to be gluten-free is no longer listed as such. I contacted Lani and she said in Feb. they told her they ae now adding Barley Malt. Great. It is at least listed that way and the can I have in the fridge is okay as the stuff...
  12. To answer the question about shingles all I know is this. It took three docs in ten days to figure out I had it. I did not fit the over 50 profile since I was only 40. After the shingles dx I read about it online and found out it presented in otherwise healthy people sometimes If they had an autoimmune disease. So I go to the neuro doc for pain relief (thought...
  13. I'd just like to add that the only doctors I've ever met worth my time are my current dermatologist (from India) who figured out that I was anemic when I went in for annual skin cancer check of all things. He was new to me and asked a lot of questiosn. I'd seen both my pcp and my gyno about my constant fatique and neither bothered to check my iron. And I...
  14. I don't have trouble falling asleep except very rarely but when I do I take Sominex (mild OTC) and it works like a charm. I take it so infrequently that some of the pills expire before I take them and I throw them out and get a new box. Well after getting my Celiac dx yesterday in the late afternoon, I was totally wired last night so about 1 am I went and...
  15. I don't know if this works if your sweats are caused by mold but I'll share anyway. Recently I went off the pill and oh boy - was that a nightmare! My gyno didn't warn me about the mood swings or anything. I've never had kids but now I find that many women suffer from something akin to mild post pardum depression after stopping b/c pills (after being on them...
