Does anyone have good tips on how to ease a cough from bronchitis that is keeping you up at night? I have not been able to eat or sleep for two days, my head is throbbing, and I feel like my lungs are aflame. Dr says it is the weather here, but I have gotten much worse since I went to his office. I might go to urgent care tomorrow morning, but right now I...

Hey y'all, sorry I haven't been around. Got crazy busy for the holidays, and as a result got a little lax on my gluten avoiding skills. I had a serious glutening that lead to an infection. My doctor put me on Erythromycin, and said that since I get a lot of the side effects from antibiotics, I could take probiotics if I want. The problem is, I can't find...

It is not at all uncommon for beta carotene to exit the body via the skin if you eat enough of it. Beta carotene is found in any yellow or orange veggies. One thing about it: Exercise makes you sweat. Sweat is the method of exit for the beta carotene, along with many other extra vitamins and many toxins. It would get worse with the exercise. That is...

ARCHIVED I Couldn't Believe This One--dear Hubby
DestinyLeah replied to wowzer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Tell your husband he has choices aplenty! He can: a) Eat what is there Go hungry c) Add an extra kitchen to the house with a separate A/C system and equipment, and cook his own dinner. Most men will choose (a), and get over it. -
ARCHIVED This Made My Blood Boil...
DestinyLeah replied to L.A.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I too, emailed them, simply because there is no "warning", there is a passing comment. A warning is made when it stands out from the information, and should be given prior to the other information. You don't dig through the packaging on a medication to figure out whether it makes you drowsy, do you? The information is clearly posted so as to be effective... -
ARCHIVED Muscle Fatigue/spasms
DestinyLeah replied to Jake Eagle's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I got the same thing before I got diagnosed, and when I was hospitalized, their blood work indicated an extremely low potassium level. DO NOT - please, do not under any circumstances self treat this- low potassium and high potassium are both extremely dangerous. If you think you may have it, get your doctor to check for it. Don't simply go buy supplements... -
It is a combination of the cysts and endometriosis, and severe damage from treatments and infection. They say I could try, but that I would likely have a miscarriage very early on, or severe hemorrhaging later in the pregnancy. I'm not sure I would ever want to get my hopes up.

ARCHIVED Anyone React Less To Cooked Gluten?
DestinyLeah replied to rainabear's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If and when you find a way, let me know. Kale = yuck. Chocolate = yum. Monthly cravings that would be healthy and not make me break out would be great Raina- If your mom likes thick, hearty hot cereals, why not try Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Hot Cereal? It is the one I have heard the most compliments on. I don't know personally, though... for I am... -
He got into a little bit of a accident, but no one else was involved. So he got up, and stopped to let the roads dry a bit. The fall messed up his phone, though. Thanks for the support, guys.

Hoping to find some support here... my fiance is 3 hours late getting home and I can't get a hold of him. We ride a scooter like a Vespa and the roads are slick, and he always calls when something is up, but the cops say there is no report of an accident involving a motorcycle tonight. I am going out of my mind with worry right now, though.

I have actually noticed that the 'malty' taste from the oat flour depends on where it was grown. I bet a quick 3 tablespoons of a brownie mix instead of the vanilla, chocolate, and sugar would make a malty chocolate shake, though. Maybe the liquid should be chocolate, too in that case. Anywho. -

C'est la vie, I give up! I'm sorry about misreading it, glad FiddleFaddle cleared it up, and hoping your mom doesn't go nuts over Quaker Oats' new "Simple Harvest" (Um... how about naming it appropriately? Let's try "Don't Eat this Harvest ", or "Simply NO!"? My poor fiance brought some home today and thought I'd like it. For some reason he thought... -
ARCHIVED Please Consider What We Are All Here For.

I tried gluten-free Pantry's brownies mix, all I got was molten chocolate stuff. It was yummy, but it was not a brownie. I laughed at the irony of buying brownie mix instead of pudding and getting a hot pudding from the mix. Advice, anyone? -
There is hope! There is always hope. You can be a police officer, and in the event you get too ill to work the field for a while, they can give you something else to do for a week or so while you recoop. I wanted to be a baker for the armed forces, but can't join due to dietary restrictions. I was told if it was important to me to help, I could join...
