    Ok, I know Thanksgiving hasn't even arrived yet, but I'm ready for Christmas! Does anyone know if Duralogs or PineMountain logs are ok to burn? We have pinemountain logs at home which are supposed to be better for the environment than regular wood but one of the ingredients is binders. I tried contacting the company but haven't received an answer. So...

    Sounds like celiac to me. I feel like crap if I eat one tiny bit of gluten so I would say yes, you could feel that bad after one week. I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

    That's so funny! Could you imagine the looks on everyone's faces?

    There seems to be a bit of tension on the boards today so I thought I inject some good vibes here and wish everyone a Happy, Safe and Gluten Free Thanksgiving (albeit a little early).

    Not sure if it is gluten free or not, but I do know that I can't tolerate any antibiotic ending in mycin. They make me throw up immediately, sharp stomach pains and feel rotten for hours. My doctor told me it's an unfortunate common side effect. I will only take penicillin now. I got this off of medicinenet.com "The most common side effects are diarrhea...

    Have you looked on glutenfreeda? They might have something for you. I have tons of recipes but none that are dairy and egg free.

    Does anyone know of a pre-made bottled sangria that's gluten free? I need it for a party. I know sangria is pretty easy to make from scratch but I won't have time to make batches of it during the party and space in the fridge will be minimum. Thanks.

    I have white spots on my teeth too and ridges. My former dentist actually told me that the ridges were caused by me brushing too hard! My gastro. had a good laugh about it when we were discussing tooth enamel defects and celiacs. I was really young when I went to this dentist so I believed her. Went out and bought the softest toothbrush I could find and...

    I remember reading in a magazine that when you take a hot shower or bath the hot water cause a large amount of histamine to rush to the skin surface making it temporarily itch more. Maybe soaking in the bath is causing this for you? If I find the link I will post it.

    Wow! I'm completely jealous. I've only been gluten free since January so I'm a long way from completely healed. Can I ask how long it took you to get to this stage? Something to look forward too.

    This is such a useful post. Thanks for starting it! I only use NARS makeup and skin care products. All are gluten free. They are pricey but so worth it. The tiniest bit goes a long way. Please watch out for Smashbox. Not all of their stuff is gluten free. I stopped using it because of that. I also like Wet and Wild lipgloss. I think I read somewhere on...

    Gluten Free Pantry has one - Open Original Shared Link. I did a mock Thanksgiving dinner last week to try out some recipes as this will be my first gluten free Thanksgiving. The stuffing came out really well. My non gluten free husband even enjoyed it.

    Those are all such great ideas. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Any suggestions of what to do with the leftover Halloween candy? We went a little overboard this year and I don't want to have all this candy in my house. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

    I go to Dr. Gary Schwartz of Gastroenterology Associates. While not at Winthrop they are associated with Winthrop. The office is located at 1103 Stewart Avenue in Garden City. 516-248-3737. I love Dr. Schwartz. He really listens to you and he is out there actively educating himself in this disease. I know he also attends all of Dr. Green's seminars. The website...

    You guys are so amazing! Who else could I tell my (ridiculous) doctor fears to and get this kind of understanding and encouragement? Thank you for being there. Beth

    Thank you to everyone for your support and wisdom. So I'm guessing there will be a needle involved in this in some sort of way? Crap. I hate needles even more.

    They do, but I thought most insurance companies wouldn't cover them. Maybe I'm wrong? That would be good. I'm hoping I won't even need one.

    Hi Nancy, The MRI fear is completely irrational. I'm claustrophobic. I don't think I could handle being in that little tube. Beth

    I used to get really terrible migraine-like headaches daily prior to going gluten free. Now maybe once a month I'll get one. All the pain meds I popped to get rid of them gave me a bunch of ulcers so now I can't take anything but tylenol. So, my gastro. doc told me to drink gatorade to get rid of them and it works! He said a good portion of headaches are...

    I freely admit that going to a doctor's office fills me with anxiety. The waiting room full of sick people, the needles, the testing, the smell (they all seem to have the same weird smell) - it's panic attack city for me. I will also admit that my husband accompanies me to a majority of my doctor appointments to make sure I actually go. I getting panicky...

    Colleen, Thanks for posting the new list! Beth

    I am self diagnosed too. I've been so sick for years and the doctors could never figure out what was wrong with me. I was told I had RA, cancer, anemia, Raynaud's and a million different other things. Finally I got the "diagnosis" of IBS. Well, when my symptoms never got any better taking the medication or eating more fiber, etc. I knew I was going to have...

    Thanks for posting this. I'm always on the lookout for stuff to keep in my desk at work. Have you tried any of them? Any favorites?
