    Hardcore ain't quite the word, is it?! I gotta wonder how their fingers aren't bleeding by the end of some of them.

    Any pictures? I've got such a weakness for small animals. It was a nightmare having to leave my cats and my ferrets with my mother when I left home. Well done to you for taking on such a demanding commitment!

    Just handling wheat flour makes my wife break out in hives, and she touched it by accident. We had it washed off within inmiutes. I dread to think what sleeping on something like that all night would do, considering that her hands are the most resiliant area in terms of DH

    Thank you both so much! This is a really great help! We might enojoy this holiday now!

    Congrats with getting your first place! The lighting really depends on the ceiling height- we have really, really high ceilings here, and we found that uplighters actually made the light a lot kinder than anything else.

    Still no Plymothians? Anyone from Cornwall? Exeter? *sadface*

    THANK YOU! Thank you so much. We're taking a holiday to Toronto very soon. We'll have to make a point of finding this place. Thank you!

    It is amazing. The second I heard them I DL'd everything they've ever done, and they've been on my media player non stop ever since. At the very least, you want '20 years of reinventing the cello.' Honestly, pure beauty. If anyone ever tells you that Metallica ain't 'real' music, you can prove 'em wrong!

    I struggle to name all the bands/artists I'm into. Current favourite though is Apocalyptica. If you ever wanted to hear Metallica played on cello, they do it. So beautiful that 'until it sleeps' actually made me cry. Other favourites- Afi [Go Despair Faction!] Four Star Mary Cyclefly Silverchair Goo Goo dolls The Offspring Steelyeye Span Fairport...

    I tend to serve it like soup, although to be honest, you can eat it with a fork! This is one of the meals I grew up on as a kid. Its one to warm you up after a hard day, and it re-heats beautifully. I like to add a lot of red and black pepper to mine, to give it some extra oomph, although it also goes nicely with white pepper and with your average supermarkert...

    I found out the other week that they've 'improved' the recepie for our favourie Lindt chocolate- with wheat! Talk about PMS tantrums multiplied by a million. I had to duck and cover. Natural does exist though- best place to look for it is farmer's markets I find. The Cornish Soap store, Dartmoor gluten-free, all of that. There is also the Irish Linnen...

    Thanks! Its nice to know that anything we do buy won't be contaminated. We're staying in the North York area of the city [means very little to me I'm afraid!], although we'll be all over the place day-to-day, since we're househunting and talking to immigration and all that stuff in preparation for emigrating. Sooner we get off this island the better.....

    Y'know, you sound exactly like my wife when she was first diagnosed. I thought the mood swings were bad ON the gluten. Oh no... withdrawl was like.... a cross between someone quitting H, stopping a small child having candy, getting a teenager to clean their room and trying to do higher level phsics with a hangover. The withdrawl phase for us was about...

    If you want a really nice corned beef and cabbage meal, this is one of my specialties. You'll need a big pan- we tend to use a pressure cooker without the lid, or a wok. Make up some mashed potato. Make it really, really runny. Add one can of corned beef per two people, one can of baked beans and one of diced tomatoes per two people, and as much cabbage...

    I don't know if this is anything to do with her Celiacs, but my wife has been told that she can donate platelets, because she has an abnormal surplus of them. Shes the only person in her family that is able to donate platelets, and the only reason we can think that she'd have abnormal ammounts is her Celiacs. Not that we mind, although it means she can...

    This just makes me even more glad that my wife and I have pure linnen bedsheets, and only ever wear pure cotton or cotton linnen blends. Being hippies has advantages! They'll still find a way to get us...

    My wife and I are taking our first ever holiday together. To Toronto. For two weeks. Not only have I never flown before [which I'm sure will be an adventure] but we've never had any experience of eating gluten-free away from home. She's hasn't glutened herself for six months, which we're pretty proud of. Does anyone have any advice at all? We're staying...

    1. FIRST NAME? Kyalesyin 2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My great great Grandmother, I think 3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Yesterday. I had to kill a mouse. 4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? nope 5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Don't eat the stuff. 6. KIDS? Not yet! 7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU...

    Peanuts! Not sure what my wife would do without peanuts. Or me actually, since I don't tend to eat anything she can't have...

    My wife gets a fever, with out fail, every time she gets gluted. Sometimes its bad enough she hallucinates. Not sure if its the same in kids but I don't see why not.
  21. Kyalesyin
    Well thats the thing. With her excema/psoriasis, her skin is constantly peeling/flaking off anyhow. She didn't scratch them, mostly, because they were under clothes a lot of the time, but she sheds her skin like a snake. Its worse down her left side, and her left wing has faded an awful lot more than her right, so that might be something to do with it.

    They took about 2 weeks to heal, as far as I recall, but bled a lot and lost a lot of the ink, no matter what we did to them. We used a lotion called 'tattoo goo' sold by the artist, who swore by it for his own inkwork. It did seem to help the healing process, but they still leaked. Keeping the sun off is a yes. We're both nerds- sunlight is not our...

    My partner has been quite recently diagnosed with celiac, but has had DH, excema, psoriosis [i have no idea how thats spelled!] and generally dry/poor skin for most of her life. She has a few tattoos, but they all took a whille to heal and are in generally poor condition. She's thinking of getting the re-inked soon, and possibly getting a few more done...
  24. Kyalesyin
    We've looked for some in our area [sW], but a lot of them are only open to people who've been offcially diagnosed apparently, and there aren't any nearby anyhow.

    My wife got the pain you were describing. Of all things, clutching a bag of frozen peas to her stomach eased things off. She was sometimes in so much pain she coudn't move, and got told by the doctor that it was most likely cysts on her ovaries. Its very distressing to see someone in that much pain. Since we started going gluten-free its eased, athough...
