Forgive my ignorance, but what's CHEBE? What am I missing? Something good?

Oh yes... Chebe is a company that makes bread, pizza crust and breadstick mixes. It's a gluten-free cheese bread.

I am very thankful to Patti for all of her help in teaching me how to bake some delicious things that even my gluten eating husband loves to eat.

The cyber friends I have made on this forum, that I would never have found except for my having Celiac disease.

Redbridge beer.

This disease told me how much my husband really loves me- what an awesome thing.

Lobster are still the most wonderful thing to eat.

It wasn't all in my head!

My mother wasn't crazy, she was sick.

The next generation won't have to suffer as much.

Those are all great- don't know where I would be today without this place.

Oh...thought of two more. If you say you have non-tropical sprue, you sound very exotic (my GI said she has a patient who will only refer to it as that because it sounds exotic)

And... Chopin potato vodka. I'm not a cheap date anymore!

[KAG]

Eating much healthier.

Living much healther.

Getting back to basics.

Believing in myself.

Cooking IS very enjoyable and brings me and my kids together.

Getting rid of an abusive husband was much easier since he thought I was a hypochondriac!

1. Redbridge will find it’s way to central Maine, or else I’ll get off my butt and use the beer brewing equipment that I’ve had for almost 6 months now. J

2. Ovaltine isn’t everything and there’s still chocolate and I might try to make my own phyllo dough one of these days.

3. Eating really good food that nature or myself has prepared. Cooking has actually gotten easier for me. Baking, maybe not so much, but it tastes so much better for the effort involved.

4. Eight years of the future…

5. Realizing that my g_d probably cares little if I ingest wheat and that I can commune spiritually in a fashion that’s not detrimental to my health.

6. Sustainable agriculture and the possibility of that becoming a world-wide phenomenon.

7. People not standing in line like they did twenty years ago for bread, although it could certainly get better.

8. Congress.

9. The hemp coalition. :D Pres. Jefferson bring clothes, fuel and food to you.

10. Knowing that I was born a certain way and then finding people who know what you’re talking about and have maybe tried that for themselves.

Knowing how good "normal" actually feels.

"So let it be said, so let it be done."....Waters too cold for crabs now, summer is the time. We'll be in touch, you bet my bippy. (bippy, any one remember "Iaugh-In"). Goodness, I'm getting old.

Goosey (that made me crack up), I believe the correct term is...."YOU bet YOUR sweet bippy....." Is that why I'm so twisted, I watched Laugh-In all the time, as a very young child?

Correct Susan, but you must have been young. Remember EdithAnnne, "My name is Edithhh Anne, and you're not." In the big rocking chair. She told you the "truthffff". I don't know why "Laugh-In" has not made a revival.

Of topic Be... back on it. You bet your sweet bippy!!!

[Mountain Mama]

Feeling alive again.

I second being able to eat whatever I want.

It taught me how to be assertive, and that yes, I DO deserve special treatment!

Not having to share my snacks, lol.

Getting my anemia under control, slowly but surely.

Knowing my body is healing.

Going hiking again because I have the energy to.

And I never would have discovered dark chocolate if I had not had celiac and not come here, LOL

Ok, I'm seeing a correlation here, that's three former Laugh-In fans, and we all have celiacs.....

Very interesting( I loved Artie Johnson)
