  1. Dear Paula, 75 percent better is great! I agree that staying busy is good. I never have been good about sitting still. I do not know why. I suppose I am hyper! Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself really does not do any good, as you said. I am sorry to hear your step-son is having such a difficult time. I was going to ask about...
  2. Dear emms, This is a genetic disease. It is very likely that your boyfriend's children have it if he does. My mother probably has it, but refuses to go gluten-free. She would rather get intestinal cancer than stop eating at Long John Silver's. Yeah, sure that makes complete sense. Dear Sami, I am sorry Daniel is having...
  3. Dear Derek, You will be normal again eventually. It can take only days for some people to heal. Other people take months or years. It depends on the damage to your intestines. Trust me, it will happen. Dear Derek and JamiD, I have a present for you guys! I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming...
  4. Dear Paula, I am so happy for you! It is great you are doing so well! You sure are busy! It must be nice to be active again! I was amazed when the reflux was better. I did not think anything would help it because it was so bad. Who would have thought gluten could cause such trouble? Sincerely, ...
  5. Dear Ami, I have these symptoms as well. I may have Lyme Disease. Mercury poisoning can cause these symptoms as well. An overgrowth of Yeast Candida can also result in these symptoms. Often, all three of these are present at once. That does not necessarily mean if you have one you have them all, though. Have you been on birth control...
  6. Dear Krista, Welcome to the forum! I have a present for you! I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself eight months ago. You spend most of your day cooking and cleaning obsessively. The rest you are on the phone with reps from companies trying to find out what is safe. I decided to save you...
  7. Dear fajitas, My family does not get the seriousness of my Celiac either. I get violently ill from a microscopic amount of it. I break out in a sweat, get extremely nauseated, have the sudden urge for a bowel movement, start shaking, sometimes my hands go numb, and if I do not get my medication down quick enough, I will get dry heaves that...
  8. Dear kilcan, Thank you for posting this! Some of these things I did not know we could have! Yay! More options! I am really glad I checked out this thread! There is always something you can learn! I have been gluten-free since August of last year. It is important to me to make it as easy as possible. ...
  9. Dear Rinne, Yep! I wear many hats in Rachelville! Being the town comic is one of them! As far as the chocolate goes, don't feel bad. I have been naughty lately, too. I am reducing my intake. It has to be done slowly. Withdrawal is so hard! I bet it is even harder for you! Having a friend who is a chocolatier has to be way...
  10. Dear Rinne, ROFLMAO! I do not find drunk guys attractive either! You would think the guy would have watched his champagne intake a bit while at one of those events. It is a little difficult to have respect for someone if they get tipsy and end up mooning half of the province! None of the politicians here can be trusted. The politicians...
  11. Dear Lisa, I understand where you are coming from for sure! It is so difficult. I have those days where you hope someone will put you out of your misery, but then you have a good day, and are glad you didn't! I am hoping I am finally getting somewhere. This can be so frustrating. The bloating is a big issue with me, too. I...
  12. Dear tiredofdoctors, You are so welcome for the information! There really are some great things we can have! I just made the best Tollhouse cookies! Chocolate Chip are my favorites! They are so good right out of the oven! I had not had any since I went gluten-free back in August of last year. I was...
  13. Dear Mia, I am irritated at your doctor! More should be done to improve your health! I do not blame you for being annoyed. You may just have to find another, more ambitious doctor. We love you too, by-the-way! Dear Murph, Actually, I eat fairly healthy for the most part. The only stuff that I eat that is bad for me is...
  14. Dear Rachel and Andrea, I feel the same way. Mia is bound to have Lyme with all of these results! This is a serious and potentially fatal disease. I am concerned as well. I understand the financial issue all too well myself. All of the tests she has had should tell the doctor something! You know, these are pretty good context...
  15. Dear Rachel, I knew fruit was not allowed on the Candida diet at all for those reasons. It is just the canned fruit seems to irritate it more. I think it is the corn syrup. I eat corn and I am fine, but the syrup is too much sugar, and is very bad for the stomach. Many people do not tolerate HFCS. It is difficult to digest. I would...
  16. Dear Carla, I am so glad you are feeling better. Hopefully, the worst is over. Maybe you will continue to improve. Those stupid viruses mess up everything! I had a stomach virus before going on those antibiotics, and I am sure that added to the trouble. I was feeling better for about a week, then after the Flagyl, it was all downhill from there...
  17. Dear Samanthasmomma, You are very welcome! I do not wear make-up all of the time, but definitely need it when I go to the doctor or visit a family member. I want to look my best! I got that same list you have of ingredients to be careful of from Maybelline. They have great stuff! Right now, CoverGirl foundation, concealer...
  18. Dear Carla, Yep! I am proud of myself for not racheling the treats! I am cutting down on sugar. I am just going to do all of this a little at a time. Meanwhile, I am stressing over my appointment tomorrow. I hope that my doctor knows an LLMD or at least takes the Lyme seriously. As far as painting goes, lately I mostly...
  19. Dear Phyllis28, I know the misery of gallstones! I have to watch my fat intake carefully as well, due to having my gallbladder removed. If you can have dairy, or at least casein, you could have Kraft Shredded Fat-Free Cheeses. Many of them are safe for us. Also, Daisy fat-free sour cream is gluten-free if you can tolerate it. Kraft Fat...
  20. Dear Samanthasmomma, Maybelline and CoverGirl clearly list gluten in their cosmetics. I also know Revlon LipGlides are safe. I called on them myself. Sparkling Sangria is my favorite! Wet'n Wild has primarily all gluten-free cosmetics. Only one of their mascaras is not safe. Sincerely, ...
  21. Dear Ursa, I know what you are dealing with. My family is the same way! I have an idea. Why don't we switch people? What we can do is, you be my mom, and I will send my mother up to be with your family! That would be a cruel trick that they would all deserve! We can be free from controlling, self-centered people! My mother does...
  22. Dear Murph, Ginger has such a wonderful pungeant aroma! I love Chinese food, and it really is a simple trick to cooking with it properly. Ginger root can only be used in the stir-fries. You cannot substitute ground ginger for it! Not in a stir-fry! I plan on making some this week! The thing is, ginger root must be washed thoroughly...
  23. Dear Griffmom, It is nice to see a fellow Hoosier on here! I have a present for you! It is to welcome you to the forum! I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself eight months ago. You spend most of your day cooking and cleaning obsessively. The rest you are on the phone with reps from companies...
  24. Dear Rachel, Milk Thistle is HEINOUS! I am sorry that did not set well. At least the other things seem to be going alright for now. That is good. Keep us posted! I have read the same thing about leftovers. They must be frozen. They do not recommend microwaving unless it is a last resort. It is one of those things, though...
