Hi all ... yup, it's me, the old Viola. I had major problems getting back on the board, so have just put in a new profile.

And I see that everything has changed. I need to figure out how to get my little Sheba back in an avatar ... we still have those right? And all my fun stuff back.

Anyway, I'll work on it when I have time.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Shirley

Ha, Shirley--I thought that might be you when I saw the name on the on-line list!

Sorry you had such problems getting onto the board, but am very glad you succeded in returning to us.

Yes, we still have avatars--they work the same as before. Lots of new, though. If you need anything, give me a yell. I don't completely understand everything yet, either--but I'll try! :)

I'm glad to be back, and I even found my Little Sheba dressed in her Christmas finery. :lol:

I was off line for awhile with a back injury, still can't sit too long at the computer, but will be checking in to make sure everyone is behaving themselves. :lol:

I wondered why it looked like your thingy changed. However, the Shiba Inu looks adorable in her hat.

So, is there any cheap places to rent, buy out your way. Any jobs rolling about or wealthy men ready to croak who want to will me their money. I so want out of Alberta.

:lol::lol: Well, you will have to let me know how much 'cheap rent' would be. I know Alberta is pretty expensive right now. We here in the Kootenay's are still reasonably priced. I really haven't looked at the rents though, as we have our little bit of paradise in the Slocan valley. You could buy out here for under $200,000 if you are not looking for anything huge. Our place would go for about $300,000 as we have almost 6 acres and are attached to a golf course. That's why we are being invaded by Albertans :lol:

What kind of work would you be looking for? You likely wouldn't have trouble finding any as everyone has gone to Alberta for the big wages ... and big living expenses.

I think you would love it here, it's very beautiful!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
