    I am so sorry to hear of the difficulties you have been enduring - my heart goes out to you, Kathryn and your family. Please keep us posted...

    Well, I live in Long Island, and I make sure that I head to Risotteria whenever I head to Manhattan - I was there yesterday and met three people (who were just diagnosed) who were there for the first time! Rave reviews all around.

    Susie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss; my thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Feel free to vent away! You are indeed very fortunate to have found the root cause of your issues so "soon" (two years)! Thank goodness that your baby is fine and that you finally did go to see that second dermatologist; your previous one was totally irresponsible, to say the least...

    Country Life (based in Long Island!) has fish and I believe Omega 3 oils as well that do not contain soy (or preservatives, etc...).

    Nice to know that there're others like me! I get varying symptoms with other grains (depending on which one it is), including horrible bloating, stomach pain, "heaviness", brain fog and tremendous lethargy. With corn, especially processed corn, I also get migraines. I don't seem to tolerate any in small amounts,even...I've tried rotating a little here...

    Just wanted to give you the biggest cyber **HUGS** that I could. You seem like such a wonderful person, and I'm sorry that you have to go through such horrid experiences with the very people one would expect would have more love and respect for you... I hope you have a wonderful vacation full of rest, peace of mind and lots of pampering!!! Much...

    I pray all goes well... you are all in my thoughts...

    Here are my first seven... 1. I finally know why I was feeling so incredibly crummy for most of my life...yea! 2. The only "prescription" that works is a change of diet - NO DRUGS! 3. I am much more aware of, and in tune with, my body 4. I no longer have those crazy annoying sugar / salt / diary cravings!!! 5. I know even more about diet...

    Edited: Changed my mind.

    I have a bracelet, a beautiful sterling silver one from Lauren's Hope. I have other allergies to Penicillin, Sulpha and dairy on there as well (I actually need to add a couple more things on there soon). But I would have gotten it anyway even if there was nothing else besides Celiac/ Gluten Intolerance; it just makes things easier, and impresses on other...

    gfp, actually, you explained that quite clearly - and beautifully, actually - at least for my very visual mind. I agree with Sandy in thinking that its so unfortunate when people, for whatever reason, seem to think that its okay to use us for their own amusement/purposes... Ursa Major, I hope you do find it soon, it is definitely worth seeing. And...

    Thank you, Sandy! I was just thrown for a loop, I guess, and I am not good at handling emotional stuff... I was so surprised at how well the movie/actors got into my head and skin, especially the two main characters. Donald's confusion, indecision and aversion/shock to change are mine, and I soooo related to the whole phone thing (especially when he is...

    I could sure use some support! I know I'm way late, but I finally got the chance to watch "Mozart and the Whale". I probably shouldn't have watched it alone, but I couldn't coordinate with my (best) friend's schedule and I did not expect to react the way in which I did. Halfway through I came upstairs to help someone else with groceries, and I was...

    I don't know how much I can help I can offer as I only cook for myself, but I know how totally frustrating it is to have a new allergy to deal with! I found out about a new one myself recently; after eating some cabbage a week ago I found myself wanting to absolutely tear my skin off - everywhere was red and itched so badly I couldn't even think straight...

    The CeliacChicks site is up again - Open Original Shared Link ... The article is the first thing on the home page (dated March 8th). It appears that there are still some issues - the pictures didn't come up as they did before - but the text is there...

    I recently started using coconut oil in my diet, and on my skin as well. I love the way my skin looks and feels; it's not greasy at all and I actually smell quite delicious! In the past I've also used pure Shea butter, but the coconut oil absorbs into the skin a little faster.

    There's an interesting article on Open Original Shared Link that includes information on this and a short "interview"with Elizabeth; she says why it took her so long to come "out" with having Celiac. I tried to pull it up to post it here but it didn't work...sorry!

    Ursa, That was me at school too! They'd show us the right way, but many times I'd do it my way. Fortunately most if not all of my teachers were pretty open to different methods of problem solving once my answers were right; some of them even demonstrated more than one way of getting the answer on the board. Some people are just too rigid to accept...

    Okay...I have to type this all over again!!!!! (just lost a whole page of typing *sigh*) Sandy, Thanks you for that...absolutely beautiful! Should be required viewing for all... I can most relate to the eagle; though not everyone saw me as a troublemaker, I certainly had my own way of processing / experiencing school! I did not realise completely...

    I am so sorry for your loss; my deepest sympathies to you...

    ...Or, " You need to go into a "real" career," as if the interest was fake or something! I used to get that one a lot. I love to seeing when a parent is actually supporting a child instead of trying to tear them down - good for you! So many people are so busy trying to make their children fit into their own / a template that they don't see just...

    Ursa, my mouth dropped open when I read your post... I'm so sorry...I had something similar happen to me as well. My mother's youngest brother molested me when I was about six or so, and threatened me with grevious bodily harm if I told anyone. I took him seriously. Years later she found out, and she asked me why I didn't tell her earlier. Hel-llooooo...

    Thanks Even here sometimes I wonder what I 'should' and 'should not' say... That incident I spoke about was even more shattering to me because the person was not only someone I'd known for years, but I was also at the time his children's live-in nanny... and he was also a minister as well as being a cop I did manage to finally get Mozart...
  25. Creative-Soul
    Sandy, I too want to say thank you for starting this thread - this the thing that I've been most desiring lately! I also want to say that I think that you and (the) other parents of Aspies here who have made sure that your children received whatever help they needed are wonderful and they are blessed to have you as parents. I did not have that...
