ARCHIVED How Long Does It Take For Gluten To Get Out Of Breast Milk?
Ridgewalker replied to Hopefulmama's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I was looking around some more on the La Leche League website, and they have a fantastic message forum! Wish it had been there when my kids were babies. Anyhow, click Open Original Shared Link if you want to check them out. -
ARCHIVED How Long Does It Take For Gluten To Get Out Of Breast Milk?
Ridgewalker replied to Hopefulmama's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
According to the La Leche League, it may take 10 days for an allergen to clear from the baby's system. I know that's not exactly what you asked, but if you click Open Original Shared Link you can read some articles on their website about allergens in breast milk. They have tons of good info, and you may be able to find more than I did in my quick look. -
ARCHIVED Kids Bday Cake
Ridgewalker replied to strawberrygm's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Good choice- Pamela's makes really good products.What you might want to do is talk to the person who's going to decorate it for and come up with the design. That way you'll know what colors and things you'll need- then you can check brands for the gluten status of the things you'll need. Sounds like it'll be a great party! A fun gluten-free food to have... -

I missed this earlier! :lol: If only it didn't make me feel like I was gonna barph... Might be more interesting! Furthermore... The Outer Banks are the final resting place of more shipwrecks than anywhere else in the world. I have a map of them around here somewhere, probably still packed in a box, and it's amazing! There's so many shipwrecks off... -

ARCHIVED Need Immediate Assistance, Please
Ridgewalker replied to Gentleheart's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
"No gluten, dairy, soy or corn ingredients" is probably your safest bet if you can't consult an attorney at this time. I also think wording it that way is clearer than the "Made without..." option. -

Emotionally, better than I had expected to be at this point... makes me feel even more sure that the Prozac was NOT doing its job, and was instead making things worse. Physically... not great, but definitely not terrible. Still having the electric-shock-tingles, pounding heartbeat, and dizziness- all of which leads to nausea. But thank God, it's not... -

I think so... arms are still pretty bad, but my legs definitely seem to be getting better. It did jump the bridge of me nose and is trying to get going on the other side. Every time I glance in the mirror, I say, "Nuh-uh! Stop that!" -

ARCHIVED Doc Says More Protein...
Ridgewalker replied to bakinghomesteader's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've been low on proteins for a long time, myself, and I would also find it VERY hard to squeeze in 90 grams. I might try some of these suggestions too... Thanks for starting the topic, Homesteader! -

Thanks for the link, Sherry! I have read that the protocol study forum tends to ban people who criticize or challenge the protocol. That bothered me for obvious reasons. Then there's an active, thriving Sarc forum who takes the opposite view-- they're so against the Marshall protocol that the admins delete any posts even mentioning it! That bothers me, too... -

Btw, ya'll, my rash is entering new levels of weirdness. The areas that it began seem to be fading now... but it keeps spreading to new areas of itchiness. It's all over my legs, arms, and shoulder blades. My eye looks completely Frankensteiny- looks like I rubbed a fistful of Poison Sumac in it or something- but it itches less. I've been staying in the house... -

I'm so glad you're here catching up a little, Susie! I know you're hurting, but even a couple little smiles are better than none!!! The custody hearing today... is it for permanent custody or emergency custody? Or maybe it doesn't even work that way out there... In NC, in situations like this- there would be an emergency custody hearing to decide who... -

Love you too, Susie!!! Do you have anything to help calm down a panic attack? Or call your doctor to get some... Vistaril maybe or even Xanax? It might help give you a little peace for a break... ((HUGS!)) -

((Hugs)) Tom. The timing of this anniversary and Susie's tragedy is unfortunate... Can't make things any easier. And POOH on the cologne. Yuck. I hate that stuff- it makes me feel like crap when people overload on it, and I don't even have any chemical sensitivities to speak of. -

Hi guys! How's everyone been? A couple of you already know, my mom was recently diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. We don't know yet what organ systems it's currently affecting. She was diagnosed by biopsy of a growth on her leg... So we know about that, and from what I've heard, it seems that almost everyone with Sarc has lesions of varying degree on... -

It's definitely not Ritalin, I remember that she told me that. I just can't remember what it is. Ritalin's been horribly overused in our area, and there's finally beginning to be a backlash where no one wants to use it... slowly but surely. It's gotten to the point now, where there are literally hundreds of kids on Ritalin in our school system. Teachers... -
ARCHIVED Alternative Treatments?
Ridgewalker replied to Plyncie's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
While I can't really comment on the alternative treatment, the attitude part is interesting. It's such a narrow line to walk. Nobody wants to be living in fear of food. And the truth is, an occasional glutening is not going to kill anyone (although some people can end up in the hospital from dehydration, which is serious.) The problem lies in the fact... -

I don't like this either. She told me that his med is one that only stays in the system 24 hours... The problem is, well, they say that about Effexor, too. And am I not living proof of the problems going off a med like that can cause? I need to find out the name of this med, and what his dx was exactly. During the time when he saw the doc and was put on...
