Rachel - - just call SBC and ask what is the best deal they can give you. Tell them your friend gets everthing - caller ID, call waiting caller ID, and one more feature (I think I have call forwarding but don't use it), PLUS DSL, and unlimited long distance.

Thanks Susan....just so happens my mom works for SBC....except I think they just changed to AT&T. I dunno...they keep switching...I cant keep up. :huh:

Anyways, I think she needs to get me hooked up. I'll be talking to her about this tonight. ;)

Patti, too true and too funny.

I think this thread is fabulous. It just strikes me that this is exactly what women do when we get together, we talk about everything and we do that because everything is connected to us. This thread has helped me to understand the frustration I have had on another board that seems to be dominated by men. The discussions are specific to the one topic and then they end which lots of times is just right but sometimes you want something that is broader and deeper than just one topic. This thread contains the community of, seems like, women who show up and anyone is welcome to. It is a gracious space, I have felt so at home and so happy to be here even though I kind of crashed in somewhere around page 76.

It is just the best darn pajama party I have been to in ages. :D:D:D

See ya later, off to pick up my sweetie.

I agree. I love this thread and all the "old" and "new" people that pop in. I still call it Rachel's thread though so the slumber party must be at her house. :D:lol: I hope you have air conditioning Rachel...I don't like the heat like you do. :P

So it's become a pajama party, and I can join in??? :rolleyes: It's such a long thread, every now and then I check in and see that it has nothing to do wtih eating dairy...... :)

It started out with dairy...but has now become a pajama party because we all like to gab and this is the best (cheapest) way to do it. :P

And yes..join in...the more the merrier. It got quieter when both Patti and Donna were on vacation. :( And then some of us were going through a not to gabby period. :blink:

:lol::lol:

Yeah....and for the record I cant eat dairy. It was just some crazy idea I got that didnt last more than a few days at most. :rolleyes:

Too bad I cant go back and change the title...to something like "OMG...I may never figure all this out" "but lets all have a slumber party instead". :P

I feel sorry for all those folks that come on looking for the answer to dairy and have all this other stuff and miles of pages to go through. :o

It would be nice to be able to change the title but those of us who know the thread will keep coming back although the newbies that want to learn about dairy may be turned off by all these pages. :huh:

We have a little tiny phone company and they offer DSL but the cheapest one is $30. I'll have to check into it. Do you have to have a dedicated line?

Even though the thread kind of went off track a little here and there...hehe...I still can answer questions about dairy. Er...avoiding dairy I should say. :P

Of course. :D

Problem is...a month ago I had all these questions in my head and now I kinda forgot it all. I dont know what to ask. :(

Gotta spend some time thinking about the ovary stuff again.

HA..... I'm finally 113 pounds... :) .... probably just water weight gain from that time of the month tho <_<

YAY!!! Congrats Floridian...you're beating me!!

I'm still at 105. Gotta work my way back up...still paying for my sweet potato indulgence.

Too bad the thread can't be organized into chapters LOL. That way there could be an msg chapter, a corn chapter, an ovary chapter etc. etc....then you could always go back and find the info you need. :D

A dedicated line is one just for the computer...I don't know if my mom has dsl or cable but I think she has just the one line. I'll have to ask.

Floridian,

Yea on the weight gain. :):D:P

That would be nice Mango...but then we'd have to jump back and forth within the thread. :unsure:

Hmmm...true. Okay well then we need a google search bar just for this thread. :lol:

ps - I think this slumber party is so popular because all the food is gluten, dairy, corn, soy, msg, and sulfite-free. It must be the secret to throwing an awesome party :)

Rachel, you've got company in the stone age...I'm on dial up too, which is why I post mostly from work, lol.

Floridian - congratulations on that weight gain...I wish I could send you (and Rachel too) the extra weight I gained after going gluten/dairy free. :lol:

LOL...yeah we're all starving though. :huh:

:lol::lol:

At least we don't have too much brain-fog....we're at least able to remember some of the topics we've covered. Just dont know how to find them now. :P

Rachel, you've got company in the stone age...I'm on dial up too, which is why I post mostly from work, lol.

Phew....I'm not alone.

I know I'm the only one here who still writes checks with no ATM card though. :ph34r:

Donna you probably look beautiful and healthy... I still look sickly... I hate it... the doctor said I'd start to gain weight but it's not happening as fast I would like it to.

Yah, I'm fortunate in that I didn't have a malabsorbtion problem so never got very thin. I think if I hadn't figured this all out when I did, it wouldn't have been much longer before it became a problem though. I was actually at a really good weight when I started the diet and now have gained about 10 pounds so am a little over what I should be.

I love the idea of a google search. :lol:

Donna and Rachel,

I'm still in the stone ages too...and I only have one line so nobody can call me. Mostly pesky telemarketers anyway. My mom knows to email me if she can't get through. :P

Well, as I recall you actually write checks for cash, so you've got me there, but I really only use the ATM card to get cash from the ATM machines, lol. I write checks for everything else.

You and Rachel can keep each other company. I use my debit card for almost everything. The only time I use a check is the day before payday if we are running low on funds. :ph34r: Ssshhh, don't tell anyone. Oh yeah, can't forget the bills I can't pay online, gotta write checks for those. :P

Ha, I write so many checks that when I put in my last check order the guy called me to tell me that it would be cheaper for me to order 4 boxes at one time rather than doing it in small increments more often, lol. :ph34r:

Uumm, sorry Mango. At least we take it easy on the weekends so if you must get some work done you can catch up then. :lol: Is it good you only have a week left or no? :unsure:

Oh...I only have one line too but I actually figured out how to get past the not receiving calls part. I got call forwarding so all the calls made to my house go straight to my cell. Now I can be online and still talk on the phone. :D

Okay... question.... should I try a glass of white wine? Haven't had a sip of ANY alcohol in about 4 months.

Hi... my name is Celia

I haven't had a drink in 4 months.

I'm not an alcoholic but was thinking it might be fun. :lol:

:lol: My thought, don't do it! But then I don't like wine anyway. :lol:

Oh ha! It's GREAT that I only have one week left. In 12 days I'll be living in Australia. Sorry I just keep having to find random ways to announce that as often as I possibly can. :D:D:D

Be sure to keep up with us. Have a great time in Australia. May I ask why you are going? Didn't you say for five months.

:lol: My thought, don't do it! But then I don't like wine anyway. :lol:

I don't like wine either and I vote no. BTW, I don't drink at all so I'll always so no. :lol: I was always the designated driver in college. :P

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
