    I'll be at work! Good thing I tape it when I can't watch it! I just won't come on the board until after I watch it, so as not to have it ruined for me.

    It does seem like they are the ones needing help, doesn't it! I didn't even know there was such a book out. I will have to go down to the bookstore and look it over next payday.

    It sounds like you are facing the hardest part of the withdrawal. Temptation is hard enough without being very ill if you give in to it. Try carrying some of your own gluten-free goodies in your purse when you go out.

    {{{hugs, Nessa}}} I agree with the others on here: the wedding day is yours, you should be the one choosing. The bride is the one that chooses the colors, arrangements, cakes, everything! Not the mother-in-law! She had her day, now it is your turn! You will feel sad about the foods you can no longer eat. You are going through a greiving perios...

    Bean-O is made from mold, which I am allergic to. I'll just have to let everyone around me suffer with me!

    I googled cowboy charcoal and found this link: Open Original Shared Link I don't know how to insert it as a link, so you will have to copy/paste. Thanks for the brand, so I know what to look for!

    I am 100% gluten-free, but certain herbs, spices, and other foods make me gassy. It is just part of the digestive process. I think I feel the gas bubbles when they get stuck because my gut is sensitive. The odor is simply to do with whatever the chemical compound of what I ate combined with the digestive juices. It is kind of like burning different chemicals...

    Whenever I have gas bubbles stuck, I lie on my back, and use my fist to massage my abdomen, starting at the base of my stomach on the right, up the side, across the top, down the left, and back around. It usually works within minutes.

    With wet glutenfree noodles!! Glad you stayed, Radman! Feel free to tick us off occasionally, it keeps on our toes!

    My teenage daughter loves them. Why do manufacturers make grown-up vitamins taste so bad? Do they think we should just swallow the pills and lump it, just because we are adults? My liquid B complex tastes so bad, I can only take 1/4 of the dose, and that has to be in a glass of cran-grape drink.

    gluten-free flours are much higher in calories, so you just cannot eat as much if you don't want to gain weight. The yummy brownies would be a good place to start cutting back, since they do not have much nutritional value.

    If my food is cooked on the grill, I use aluminum foil. I have always gotten a bit of a tummy ache after eating grilled food, and the foil made it stop happening. I don't know about lava rocks, I have never used a gas grill, only charcoal.

    Lexapro did not stop me from losing weight. It did help me to sleep better, so I had more energy during the day. I think more energy without eating more translated into weightloss for me.

    When my husband is around, I blame him. When he's not, I blame Socs. Fortunately, Socs' poop smells so bad, everyone believes it was him! He can foul up a litterbox so bad that only scooping it immediately ends the stench.

    All of your questions are not a bother. If you hang around, you will see that we ask tons of the weirdest questions ever! If one of your symptoms was diarrhea, then your body is now sending the fluids to the kidneys, where it belongs, instead of to your intestines. I was constipated all the time, and now I actually pee less, as fluid is going to my...

    Last time I ate rice, I had two rice crackers, and wound up in the ER. I was not thrilled!

    Funny, the allergist I saw said the scratch test is 100% accurate, and the only cure was shots for the rest of my life. Do I believe a word he said? No. The shots gave me severe, week-long headaches, so I quit taking them, and avoidance whenever possible is the best treatment. I have been eliminating foods that I think are problematic for me.

    You have been, without shadow of a doubt, positively diagnosed. To eat wheat now, for any reason, would be insanity. Your IBS could very well be that you are still healing. I was on a gluten-free diet for 6 months before a positive biopsy, it sometimes just takes a long time to heal.

    I wondered why you would put that answer! Thanks for the link, I can't do the walk, but I do want to sponsor someone. Now I just have to get my husband to say OK! (It's his money I'll be using, so I think I should clear it with him, first! )

    I like peppermint tea for my throat. Or you can make regular tea, and put a smidgen of peppermint in it.

    As a matter of fact, Vincent, yes: RICE!! Does that mean that no one on the plane can eat rice when I am on board? If the allergic person is that sensitive, that they cannot even be in the same room, then that person needs to stay home all the time, just to remain alive!

    I have a bone to pick with the quiz on your website, Lauren. One of the questions is true or false: you have to have an intestinal biopsy to confirm diagnosis of celiac disease. The answer is FALSE!! The biopsy is the gold standard, but it is not the only way to diagnose celiac, nor is it required for confirmation.

    Another drug with horrible side effects. Any wonder that I have no interest in a drug to treat celiac disease?
  24. plantime
    Bring your own food, and make sure you stick to your diet. If you are a celiac that cheats, doing so one time when they can see you do it will destroy the entire food/relationship with them. Don't worry about hurting their feelings, your health and life are at stake.

    I use honey and sugar.
