  1. I remember some of this from your posts but I didn't know it got that bad. I'm so sorry sweetie, that must have been HELL. Exactly- it's not the same kind of depression. There's two kinds: The "Oh, I'm sad because.....(insert problem)" which is really more of a grief type depression that passes. The other kind, try as you might you cannot "pull...
  2. This is exactly how I feel!
  3. Happy NEW yEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all you Silly yaks! Hope everyone had a good NYE and let's get this thread back on track and laughing again. :P Last night we had a toga party and my BIL showed up after putting the kids to bed in his son's dinosaur sheet. Almost peed my pants. Today his son and Mookie, the cat, had...
  4. I am so glad this forum started up as many of us have not had a specific place to talk about the neuro affects of gluten. When I was 21 I went through a very severe depression and have been on medication ever since. I tried going off several times but always relapsed. I tried again after going gluten-free but wasn't able. I had hoped that after i went...
  5. Oy vey- When I get gluten in my system, all heck breaks loose! I am F.I.N.E FINE (f'ed up, insecure, neurotic and emotional). It's really horrible what it does to me emotionally. I've noticed that for me the GI symptoms hit first and I more or less have brain fog and act confused. About 4-5 days later, I'm feeling better physically, but that's when the emotional...
  6. Oh I'm glad....I have a herniated belly button. It doesn't bother me much, but it's creepy! My sister and her girls are sick with mytoplasma upper respiratory 9I think that's what it's called). It's up to epidemic proportions in her town- everyone's on Z Tec. Of course, now I have a sore throat and swollen glands. Waa! Glad you don't have a hernia.
  7. Oh my gosh Elye, your post broke my heart. I didn't realize he was dying. I'm so so so sorry for you and your sister and John. I am sending you much love and hope for comfort for ALL of you! Novartis is a company. Did you mean Novasource? Novasource is gluten-free.
  8. CONGRatulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the first year is DEFINITELY that hardest! It only gets easier after that and becomes secind nature.
  9. Emily- I am so sorry...I had no idea. I think that you should ask your sister if she would consider having him tested. I know when my mom was ill, all the food drinks (like Ensure Boost etc.) had lactose and if his villi are damaged, the lactose may be bothering him. Also, if he has internal hemmorhoids, he could have blood in his stools. Again...
  10. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! Thanks to ALL of you, 2 years into the diet I am healthier and happier than I've been in a long time. Thanks for the information, the sharing, and more importantly the support, the friendship and some really good laughs! :wub: :wub:
  11. Well...I'm sorry I missed the rest of the party, but I hope that everyone had a safe, happy, semi-naked, somewhat tequila wine champagne buzzed (except Molly but you were making GOOD $$$$$$$$$$- YAY!) New Year's Eve. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am blessed tp count you among my friends!

  17. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't surprise me. Nothing about fast food would!
  18. OMG- Chinese food. Every New Year's growing up! I miss it so much! I'm going over my sister's today (whole family) for it but I get to watch. I am a Chinese food voyeur! I'll bring my own lunch. If I could have a one day pass, Chinese food would DEFINITELY be on the list. Oh well! This is the year I turn 40...or do I just stay 39 again and start counting...
  19. I have those lovely h-things too. Yes, Preparation H...isn't not just for under-eye bags and reducing zits. Jillian- You must teach your villi the ways of the Jedi. They must use the force to grow!
  20. :P :P :P Lisa- You really are a cheeky monkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. I have NO idea what this means, but I gotta tell ya.....it sounds naughty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jess- You look so beautiful in your picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. At a bar, I would maybe go with vodka and tonic water- casein shouldn't be a problem, soy and egg shouldn't either. I don't know about all tonic waters, but I know Polar has corn syrup but their DIET tonic water does not.What about a diet soda and Jack or SoCo. I think if you stay away from sweet beverages, you'll encounter less corn. I read on the Bard...
  25. Technically, all vodka is gluten-free as are many other grain-based alcohols (except beer) because the gluten protein is distilled out in the distillation process, but many people chose not to drink any grain-based alcohols anyway. I'm one of them. Yes- Smirnoff is gluten-free (corn) as is Chopin (potato) and Ciroc (grape). Most people are fine with any...
