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

More good things:

-you know how to take care of yourself

-when you feel good, you really feel good and you appreciate feeling good!

-steak, wine and chocolate mousse are naturally gluten free

-having a place like this where you can vent, whine, complain, or share, help others and meet new people

:P

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

Not being bedridden anymore (prior to diagnosis).

Not taking each day for granted.

Chebe.

Gluten free Pantry mixes.

Learning to mostly enjoy cooking. Everything tastes better.

Tinkiyada pasta.

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.

Peoples complements that I look really good, because they didn't have the nerve to tell me how bad I DID look.

I can almost out-cook anyone in town.

No more back ache.

Lobster are still the most wonderful thing to eat.

VEGAS

The husband actually cleans up after himself and enjoys eating gluten free (except for his bread).

Eating much more healthy.

Not dining out saves money. Makes hubby happy.

Great to have people here who understand.

REDBRIDGE!

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.

My second child disappeared. :lol:

The wonderful supportive gluten-free community.

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) :lol:

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

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. :D

9. The hemp coalition. :D :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.

Saving money by not buying all that expensive make-up to cover dark circles.

Now I totally deserve the most expensive chocolate!

Sleeping the whole night.

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!!!

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)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
