    Happy birthday!

  2. mtraezme
    I would say I probably spent around $4,000 before I gave up on doctors and diagnosed myself because they refused to believe anything was wrong with me. My first name is Ezme. Good luck with the project. Tomorrow is our last day of school!

    The corn tortillas are **usually** made with only cornmeal. I had the unfortunate experience of watching the girl at my favorite little restaurant pour wheat flour into the masa (cornmeal dough) in order to make it softer. The ones you can get at tortiller

    I tried to find a list of premade foods that were safe, but it's not really feasible in most third world countries because it seems, at least in Mexico, that the grocery stores get a lot of random things and when those are sold, they're replaced with other random food items. Some of the same brands are usually available like Kelloggs and Campbells, but they...

    Cool, that's good to know. I'm not in the area now, but I'm applying for a job at Cascadia Community College and will hopefully be in the area next (school) year.

    Have fun! I've never been to Queretaro, but I lived in Guanajuato which is, from what I hear, fairly similar. Having said that, I would bring a wind resistant jacket of some sort because there can be really biting winds, especially at night.

    Wow Hathor, Thanks for the long response! I learned a lot from it. I'd never heard of Dr. Harris nor Dr. Fuhrman, but there websites do seem to show a diet pretty close to mine. I'm going to check for Dr.Fuhrman's book at the bookstore since we don't have a library here. As for your tapas and wine, I don't think you can have one without the other...

    Hi, Since I've spent practically my whole life trying to lose weight, I should probably let you know what is working for me. I actually saw the smallest number I have ever seen on the scale this morning! 124! I got on and off the scale three times just to see if it was correct. That's 100 pounds down from my highest. I tried Weight Watchers and...

    Hey Nanny B, I just noticed that you're a Spokie. I too am from Spokane I don't have experiences in Cozumel or Cancun, but I wanted to let you know that you should be able to bring Lara bars, cereal, nuts, and other dry goods into Mexico. You can't bring fresh fruits or vegetables, but you can bring them on the plane and leave any leftovers on the...

    I agree. You should really talk to the people who are in charge of the trip. You should also have no problem bringing Lara bars, cereals, and things like that with you. Fruits and veggies should be plentiful. But, are you going to be eating with the missionary group or with Peruvians? That will make a difference in the foods you're served. Is there...

    I just got an Oster from Target. It works pretty well but hurts my ears because it's so loud. I need to get some of the earmuff thingees they have at the firing ranges. I really, really want a Blendtec or Vitamix because those can handle nut butters and things. Here's a good link that compares the two. Open Original Shared Link Ezme

    Just a little vocab in case you need it. manager is gerente (sounds like hair-ehn-tay) boss is jefe (heh-fay) chef is chef but with a strong ch sound like chair

    I would agree with Ursa Major. You should try dietary changes before taking any drugs. Medications can alleviate symptoms for a time, but they aren't getting to the root of the problem. Try cutting out the gluten, dairy, and soy first and see if that doesn't help. Also, a LOT of people on these boards see drastic improvements in anxiety issues as well...

    I'm 5'1" and shorter than every single one of my students!
  15. mtraezme
    Hi, sorry you have that going on! I would agree with cutting out the dairy. It can cause all sorts of breakouts and reactions. You can probably add it back in after a few months, or test it after a bit and see if you react. Also, my dad had a horrible itchy rash over his entire body last year. He never goes to the doctor for anything, but he took...

    Hi, I've never been to Cancun, but I don't think you'll find a gluten free store in Mexico - anywhere. You will, however, be able to find many naturally gluten free items in many places. You can have corn tortillas, tostadas, shrimp cocktails, fresh fruits, veggies, meats, tacos, salsa, pozole (yum), homemade ice cream, rompope (alcohol kinda like...

    I'm in exactly the same boat. Make sure you're keeping a food diary to see which fruits have the most effect. For me, asparagus and honey have the same effect as gluten on me. Apples are similar. I brought it up with my doctor and he laughed in my face. Literally. This pamphlet thing is kinda handy. It describes me to a T. You might find it...

    I also figured it was green for Celiac. The magnetic ribbon things for celiac awareness are green. Unfortunately, something about how the colors are set up is also giving me a really bad headache and making me dizzy. I don't think it's the ads, I think for me it's more the colors.

    Where do you buy the EVO and Wellness brands of food? Funny note on dog biscuits and toddlers, my dad got some biscuits called Ms.Pugslys (I think that's the name, it had pug in it) that were free of all common allergens. The dogs didn't like them at first, but I tried them and they weren't half bad! Ezme

    My roommate just started getting that for her dog. The vet thinks he's gluten intolerant, and it's much cheaper to try to change his diet than run tests. Right now the poor animal is still taking tons of anti-histamines because he'll rub his eyes on the carpet until they bleed and then he starts screaming. Hopefully the food will help him. My mom actually...

    There's also a website called Vegiac ( Open Original Shared Link ) that is for vegetarian/vegan celiacs. I wonder if we all pestered Scott if he would add a vegetarian area onto the boards here. Maybe we should do that.
  22. mtraezme
    Have you added anything else into your diet? I was feeling great off of wheat and then got heinously bad headaches. I realized that I was adding a little packet of stevia to my cup of tea at night. I had used it before, but I think because my gut was so messed up it didn't get absorbed or something. When I cut out the wheat and started absorbing things...

    Has anyone heard of or tried the Halls Chela y Lim

    Hi, I'm going to cut and paste a response I gave to another poster about Mexico. If you search through the travel section on the boards there are some more posts about Mexico. Here's what I posted earlier, if you have more questions, send me a message or post them here and I'll try to respond. I ate a lot of corn tortillas, chicken, beans, fruits...

    Which resort are you going to? I would call the resort and ask as many questions as you can since you will be eating most if not all of your meals there.
