  1. Dear luckygfme, Really, having your gallbladder out makes it difficult to lose weight? I wonder why that is. That is weird. Maybe I should do some research and see if I can find anything. Maybe if it is the cause, perhaps it is due to not being able to digest fat properly. I was actually losing some weight after the surgery, but then...
  2. Dear Mia, Living with my brother is not an option. He thinks I am a hypochondriac as well. He complains all the time, too. I love him, but he is a kvetch. I used to be much more positive. Lately, depression has taken me over. This environment is bad. Plus, I am afraid to do my rituals (I am Wiccan) because of the bad energy. Dear...
  3. Dear gfp, I completely agree with you. People can walk around and tell you that you are just obsessive about gluten. They say you are a lunatic. They are not the ones who have to deal with the consequences. It would be nice if people were not self-centered, but that is expecting too much. As for MDs, do not get me started on those...
  4. Dear luckygfme, Yay! Thanks for finding this! It is not as expensive as I expected, either! I hate having Thyroid disease. It is up, it down, either way I get fat. It is not fair! My doctor may not like that either. Anything that could make your life easier or help you seems to not be on their allowed list. ...
  5. Dear Claire, Yep, it is Jin! It is not my legal name, but hopefully that will change one day soon. My name does not fit me at all! Plus, I could finally get rid of any reminder of my family. Naturally, my mother lit into me again about the doctor's appointment. Now I have to cancel it. She says I am selfish...
  6. Dear georgie, That Armour Thyroid sounds really helpful! I never know what it is doing until I get bloodwork. It would be nice not to worry about that anymore. Is it called the same thing in the states? I am tired of playing Thyroid roulette! Sincerely, NoGluGirl
  7. Dear aikiducky, My parents know how sick I get, they just do not care. They just complain that they need the bathroom! There is another one downstairs, they just are too freaking lazy to go down to use it! Tonight, my mother lays into me about the doctor's appointment set for Tuesday. She says that I am ingrateful, lazy, and a brat...
  8. Dear beachitsue, You are very welcome! It is overwhelming! I share a kitchen with my parents, who are gluten free. That leaves cross-contamination open. There are some things you all will like, though. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you Dinty Moore Beef Stew is gluten free! That stuff is great! There are options that are not at the healthfood...
  9. Dear beachitsue, I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself six 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 the trouble! 1. There are a number of things in the...
  10. Dear Adina, Children should eliminate sugars, but not starches, because they are growing. I have done a lot of research on Candida. I have it myself. It is very stressful. My body is in bad shape. It is recommended a rotation diet done to determine allergenic foods causing reactions in children. Being gluten-free is not as hard as it looks...
  11. Dear Donna, That is a big bummer on the D still being around. Hopefully, you will figure out what is causing it soon! Maybe it is not taking the supplements, but when you take them? Sometimes timing really throws things off. You may have to eliminate the supplements one at a time so you know. Dear Carla, Sorry to...
  12. Dear Lynn, I see my doctor Tuesday. I am going to ask her. I have had back acne and it is also on my shoulders, under my neck, on my ear, on my nape, and it really bothers me! It seems some things help, but it still tends to itch and burn. Sure, I will e-mail you soon! Sincerely, ...
  13. Dear RiceGuy, Can DH look like acne? I have it all over my cheeks especially. It itches and burns! I sometimes scratch it until it bleeds. What is the best treatment? Sincerely, NoGluGirl
  14. Dear luckygfme, I have thought about killing myself due to things going so badly as well. However, one thing keeps me going. I know I do not really want to die, just for the suffering to stop. Besides, if I tried pills, knowing my luck, I would end up living through them pumping my stomach, and then be placed in a mental ward. I refuse...
  15. Dear Mtndog and Nikki-uk, ROFLMAO! I loved these! It is difficult. Handling this with humor is always helpful. Laughing about it certainly helps. The Chocolate Emporium is terrific for cake mixes! I am hoping to order some chocolate candies soon! Sincerely, NoGluGirl
  16. Dear azul, The dairy may be a problem. I was told to get rid of it by my doctor. She said most Celiacs do not tolerate it. Your intake is very high. That could cause kidney stones. Too much is not a good thing. I would recommend going without dairy for a couple of weeks. Then, add it back in a small amount and wait a few days to see if...
  17. Dear gfp, It is so true! The problems that accompany our disease are so embarrassing, it gets to the point we are afraid to leave the house! So many people will act like we are just paranoid. They have no idea what it is like to live in constant fear of anything going into your mouth. You dread getting hungry, because you know, anything you...
  18. Dear Ryan, Don't feel bad! I am 24 as well, so Preparation H is not something I think about all of the time either! I hope Alex is in less pain today. Having constant D like that is really miserable. Everything is difficult when you feel like that. I understand how she feels. You suffer day-in, day-out. You resent being...
  19. Dear Andrea, I am so glad your horses sold! Now you can afford more medical treatment for you and the kids! These things are expensive, but well worth it. You cannot put a price on good health (although insurance companies manage to.) I think you guys will well be on your way to improvement soon! Dear Rachel and Donna, ...
  20. Dear luckygfme, Yep, I went through all of that, too. Doctors are complete idiots! They said the exact same thing to me. "It is all in your head" is their favorite phrase. Their second favorite is "I want you to take this anti-depressant.." I was doped up on so many of those things it was unreal. They also told...
  21. Dear Carla, Yep, we are down here in The River City! You are lucky going to Indy was not as long from where you are. We take three to four hours to get to Indy. I really have no desire to go there again, considering that is where that hospital nearly killed me! Cincy is a nice place, I hear. I thought it was so funny what...
  22. Dear Debbie65, I'M TOO SEXY FOR MY FARTS, TOO SEXY FOR MY FARTS, SO SEXY, YEAH! Dear Carla, I SEE YOU! Sincerely, NoGluGirl
  23. Dear DarlinDeb and Mtndog, The people on this forum are my real family! They understand and care. The thing is, my family is stubborn and just plain nuts honestly. Monkeys on crack make more normal decisions than some of the ones these people make! The frustration is, people do not want to understand. They refuse to even try...
  24. Dear Rachel, Thank you for posting all of the scientificness on BioSet! It is always good to learn more! Don't worry, your posts are really well done! They make plenty of sense! Even if they get messed up, it will be okay, because most of us are probably so whacked out with Lyme that it would make sense! Dear Claire, ...
  25. Dear isiskingdom, I was told by a company representative when I called that Crest Whitening Expressions were safe. However, if you found on their site they have gluten, maybe that is what has been bothering my stomach? I was doing great the first couple of months, then I started to feel bad again. I am obsessively careful. I...
