    Both of our dogs and both of our cats can't do gluten. In fact, One dog can't have any grains, the other can't have grains, pork, or beef!! LOL! Ninja is our allergy boy! When we adopted him he was almost BALD and had all kinds of D (they were feeding him 4 cups/day of Science diet and he weighed under 40 lbs!). But now he's all kinds of beautiful! ...

    I have to disagree with the "kid friendly" thing. DH and I can't have children and at this point we HATE kid friendly places, because usually "kid friendly" means "kids running and screaming everywhere completely unattended". We don't go to places like that. DH and I eat out once ever 6 months or so and we want to enjoy it!! The BEST solution I found...

    I really hope your DH's results are good! I'm glad your family doc agreed to test! Usually once you know what his results are you can figure out what your odds are and what you want to do, but you'll still have to do tests to make SURE there aren't any problems on your end. But I think it's better to do the men's test first. Oh and load up on that vitamin...

    We found out last year (DH was 24 and I was 22 at the time) that we have infertility that's pretty much untreatable (DH had a 0 motility). I know what it's like to have problems finding a doctor who will test you. We'd been trying 16 months before we were able to be tested. Don't bother with an OB/GYN, they won't listen. Find a Reproductive Endocrinologist...

    Actually we do NOT give food to the food banks in our area. I've called every food bank I can find asking if the gluten-free food I donate would be set aside for gluten-free patrons (you know, like sugar free food for diabetics). NO. Each one of them told me that they just give people a box of whatever. They said that if someone doesn't "want" certain...

    I'm glad I'm not alone! I usually stick to 1 small glass unless it's homemade gluhwein which is cut with 1/2 water (and some of the alcohol cooks off) I took a hydrometer reading and it's about 8% alcohol so I'm getting the same amount of booze, but with more flavor and bulk in a warm mug. Mmmm.... Anyway. I do hope you get your health issues worked...

    the problem is I have tried all of the sleep aids on the market (natural and perscription) and they just make me feel sick. I also suffer from extreme sleep paralysis and they just make that problem happen 5+ times/night instead of once. So those are out. I've also had my adrenals and thyroid extensively tested and I'm all good there. The problem is really...

    ARCHIVED Snow ?

    Adelle replied to purple's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    I live in a small town outside Salem, Oregon and I HATE snow!! HATE!! Our town has no plans for keeping the roads clear in any way, so I haven't been able to go anywhere for a week!! Things here haven't thawed at all, they've gotten worse. Sunday I woke to find a solid inch of ice on everything. It took 2 kettles of hot water to open my car door so I could...

    Ok so years ago I had a sleep study done, and the doc called me... "wonky". Yup, I have really irregular sleep cycles (I didn't even hit every stage of sleep and almost none of the time did I reach them in any kind of order...). They sent me on my way without any idea what to do except deal with it (yeah, doctors rule... ). FFWD 3 years. I've been...

    Ok to be honest, it's a hell of a transition. But if you just jump right in and accept that your life has changed, before too long you won't even think about it. I've been on the gluten-free diet for 2 years now and I don't even think about it on a daily basis. I think it's because my routines have changed and I've adapted to them (and my entire house...

    I really think that most people are too STRESSED!! That's one of the reasons DH and I decided that I'd be a housewife. When we first got married, I was too sick to work anyway. Even now, I have some joint damage and I'm SUPER susceptible to stress, an outside job would NOT be worth it to us. So here we are, broke but happy! DH works all day and then...

    Old wives tale is on the corner of burnside and sandy. They have a nice gluten-free menu from what I remember.
  13. Adelle
    I've been gluten-free for just about 2 years (yay!). This might be TMI, but you ask so I'm gonna tell you! I've noticed MAJOR differences!! I used to have HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY bleeding for 7 days with debilitating cramps (I couldn't stand up for like 3 days, it was UNCOOL). Now I have heavy ish bleeding for 3 days, spotting for 2 and I'm DONE! I had really...

    That's exciting!! Lincoln City is only about 1 hour-90 min (depending on the weather and traffic) away so I might just have to drag hubby up for a dinner one of these days! YAY!

    I just saw the episode (we have a DVR so I tend to record a bunch of stuff and then watch whenever I have a chance!). The character's name was Carla and she was an overweight black woman, which is SO COOL!! Not only did they have a celiac reference, but she does NOT fit the stereotype that the ONLY people with celiac disease are skinny people of irish descent...

    Frec, let us know if it's any good, if it has improved in recent years, DH and I will just have to make a trip out to check it out too!

    We recently found out that our local small town movie theater was REALLY willing to accommodate us (whereas the larger chain in the next town told us to buzz off). Their popcorn is gluten-free and to avoid CC we can either show up for the 1st showing (which we usually do if we want to see a movie anyway) or call ahead and they'd set some aside for us all...

    Ok was the food itself any good?? I live about an 90 min from Lincoln City, so it would be nice to know. Lol. But the one time we went there (years ago, but I've heard this from others since then) that it was overpriced and not all that good...... If it's better now, it might be worth a try next time we have a beach day! How are you liking Oregon?
  19. Adelle
    Guinea pigs!!! We used to have them a few years ago (they got sick and sadly couldn't be saved). We got ours from the local humane society. The shavings you use for the bottom of the cage is gluten-free and when we went gluten-free we just fed them vegi bits instead of the pellets (they are glutenous and bad for them anyway!). They are adorable and there...

    Ginsou, do you mean that you buy the fixings FROM subway? If so you are definitely getting cross contaminated!! Those places NEVER keep things even close to safe!!
  21. Adelle
    Ok well firstly, Canidae is NO LONGER GLUTEN FREE, even though they are still advertising on their website that they are. ARG. I feed our adult dog Innova Evo, and our cats eat the cat version of Evo. Our puppy eats California Natural dog food for now. IMHO anything you can find at a big chain pet store is NOT worth feeding! You could try ordering...

    Feel free to move this if I'm posting in the wrong section. Has anyone heard about their "new formula"? Well check their website, you're in for a shocker!! Open Original Shared Link Scroll to the bottom, Yup, apparently they can "process out" the gluten (out of barley) to make it gluten free I e-mailed them a few days ago. I don't feed canidae...
  23. Adelle
    Yup, Hay = dried grass. You'll be fine... unless you're allergic to grass!!
  24. Adelle
    Good luck!!!
  25. Adelle
    You'll be FINE! I think the trick is to just accept that life will be different from now on. Eating out will NEVER be easy (we generally don't eat out at all). You'll ALWAYS have to cook for yourself and plan ahead. Yes, sometimes it sucks. But you have to just decide that you can deal with this and move on. Then it gets easy. I've been gluten-free...
