Girl Guide Cookies

I just thought of something I've been doing for NINE YEARS and just now thought of how funny it is.

Every year, twice a year, I sell Girl Guide cookies (yes, I'm a Girl Guide, AND 14 years old, I know, it's weird, don't make fun of me) because, basically, I have to and everyone I know loves them. Whenever I go selling them to friends or going door-to-door, people ask, "Well, are they good?" And then I go, "Um, I don't really know, I've never tried them..." Because I've had celiac disease all my life, even when I was a little Spark at 5 years old, I'd never tried them! How funny is that?

Wow. Sorry, just had to let a little humour out.

Hahaha! Thanks. I do have a sense of humour towards Celiac; I think it's the only way to go. Either that or stay in your house all day mumbling about your misfortune. And no sense in that! Go out and LIVE!!

Mmmmmmmmmm, love Girl Guide cookies! I used to buy tons of them. My kids will still sell them, but dunno how many of us will be eating this year. Bummer. Oh well, at least they are an easy sell.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
