    dksart, I sure wish you would reconsider. You and your loved ones are far more important than any possessions you might need to leave behind. Things can be replaced, people can't. I'll keep you and all the hurricane area in my prayers. neesee

    This morning when I took the dogs out for their early AM potty, dd and I found a skunk running around the back yard with a yoplait yoghurt container stuck on it's face and head. The poor little thing was frantic. It was pounding it's head against the fence and the garage. We weren't sure what to do. Dd tried to pull the container off, but it was stuck...

    How tall are your parents? My dad was 5'8" and my mom was 4'11". I am 4'10 1/2". I have no idea if I would have been taller or not. My mom was a type 1 diabetic that showed very definate signs of having celiac. My mom's side of the family wasn't very tall. She had a grandpa that was 5' and 115 lbs. He was never sturdy enough to work.

    It wasn't me that posted, but I believe the Dr. is Gail Cookingham. Her dad is a well known allergist around here. neesee

    I make a stove top version of this casserole frequently. I usually add ground beef and chilli seasonings to the mix. My favorite is the McCormicks tex mex mix. My family loves it! I'll have to try your oven version. neesee

    Actually.....a blood sugar of nearly zero can and will kill you if you don't get it up to a normal level quickly! Your brain needs glucose and oxygen in order to function. neesee

    ARCHIVED What Would You Do?

    neesee replied to Connie Shedlock's topic in Doctors

    We had a similar situation. My son was having severe head pain with very high blood pressure and rapid heart beat. Our pcp sent him for an MRI. We called several times for the results and were told not to call anymore, they would call us if there was anything to report. Ds kept getting worse. We waited from Jan. until Mar. before I finally took him back myself...

    neesee replied to Connie Shedlock's topic in Doctors

    I think the dr is a sob, a poor excuse for a dr anyhow. He probably wanted to be paid for the office call. I thought they all took an oath to do no harm. Withholding a positive celiac diagnosis is definately harmful. neesee

    I don't think they would cut out part of your colon because of celiac disease. I have diverticular disease and the are discussing cutting out part of my colon sooner or later. I'll know more next month after the colonoscopy. Ask your Dr. for the celiac test. It can't hurt. I have celiac and diverticulitis. The diverticultis if far more painful than...

    Yes, I actually did get lumps in my abdomen. My intestine felt like it was crawling around and then a lump would appear. I got it on my lower right side mostly. I was very thin and I think that's why my intestines were so visible. You could also see my pulse in my abdomen. neesee

    The GIG was my lifeline back in 1988. Dh called our local health department for information on celiac, and they sent me info put out by the GIG. My very first newsletter and gluten-free dietary guidelines.I became a member and bought my first gluten-free cookbook from them. God bless the GIG. neesee

    Well.... He did use the most specific test for celiac disease, however, it is subject to human error. The tests that seems to be the most highly favored right now are the total Iga along with the ttg. Igg seems to point to some sort of gluten intolerance, but not usually celiac. I know i had extremely low cholesterol with my celiac. 96 total. 20 years...

    I wasn't attacking Josh at all. I hope he understands that. I feel it is my responsibility to encourage him to be as gluten free as is possisible, without being obsessive. When I was diagnosed, some 20 years ago, I was told it was okay to eat rice krispies and corn flakes because studies had shown the small amount of malt seemed to be well tolerated...

    Josh, You really shouldn't drink beer. I'm not one to preach at someone, but if something clearly has gluten, you shouldn't consume it. I'm sure it's tough to be young, male and celiac, but you've got take care of yourself. You are only issued one body, and you are lucky enough to know you should be gluten-free. You've been given a gift. The gluten...

    Do you take vitamins at all, and if so, what do you take? neesee

    Hi TrilluimHunter, I'm glad to see you are feeling better. It sure is easy to blame everything on the celiac. I did the same thing recently. I had an attack of acute sigmoid diverticulitis. It went untreated for a couple of days because I told the er Dr. it was probably the celiac and she didn't look at any thing else. Big mistake. two days later, the 2nd...

    You've been tested for allergies, not celiac. You need to go to your family Dr. and ask for a celiac panel. neesee

    This is kind of interesting. I don't know how reliable it is however. Open Original Shared Link neesee

    I've become frusterated with his subject so I'm going to bow out. At this point, I agree to disagree As far as the op and her gluten-free kitchen, I think she should do what makes her comfortable. If that's a completely gluten-free kitchen and her family is in agreement, she should do it. neesee

    QUOTE (Fiddle-Faddle @ Aug 2 2008, 12:54 PM) But that's like saying that people with fibromyalgia and IBS don't make antibodies to gluten. We know now that they they do, but nobody ever looked for them. I would really like to see some websites that back up this statement. So far I can't find any. I prefer .gov or .edu. sites as they are the most reliable...

    Well, why did I develop pre diabetes after 20 years on a gluten-free diet? I think it's because I ate too many gluten-free carbs. When you are prone to insulin resistance, it doesn't matter where you get your carbs. Gluten or gluten-free. Diabetics have to eat low carb. Especially the type 2s. Hey, I've been through this. Mom was type1 and dad was type...

    I had nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and a low grade fever with my diverticulitis. I also had a huge pocket of infection that showed on my cat scan. neesee

    The connection between type 1 diabetes and celiac is that they are both auto immune diseases. Type 2 is not. Type 2's don't make antibodies. Type 1's do. Women with pcos don't make antibodies either. They have insulin resistance. neesee
