    Forgive me. I did not mean to imply anything offensive. Bowing out of conversation.

    Several years ago I gave my daughter some Royal Jelly in honey. She threw up within seconds. This was a kid who ate Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast *EVERY DAY* for almost her entire life. (She now eats the ones from Trader Joe's that do not contain barley malt, but that's another issue.) Several weeks later we tried it again with the same results...

    According to a school nurse who goes to my church, MRSA has become the fourth leading cause of death in the US. (I'm sorry - I don't know where she got that statistic but probably from a professional publication.) It's not annoying. It's deadly. It stays alive on surfaces for up to 90 days. You need to disinfect every surface in your house that you...

    We had to put a cat down a few years ago. I held him during the process. It is SO hard. His health took a nosedive fast just like your cat's did. {{{hugs from me, too}}}

    Has anyone heard from Lisa since she posted this problem?

    Try some of the bread or cake mixes from Pamela's or Gluten Free Pantry. The ones I have on hand do not contain dairy or soy and either do not call for them to be added or have alternate directions. They are not your mom's but they are good. Pamela's chocolate cake is excellent and even better if you add chocolate chips. If you can't find them locally...

    I suggest you send a PM to board members "tarnalberry" who lives in the north end and/or to "cruelshoes" who lives in the south end for recommendations. Hope you feel better soon.

    Alcohol-based wipes should do in a pinch.

    If it were dog poop would you wash it off and just eat it? Did you get it all? Are you sure?

    This needs to get bumped to the very top of your priority list. Kidney infections can become very serious very quickly. It either needs to be dealt with ASAP or eliminated as the problem and whatever is causing the problem needs to be found. Nausea + fever + passing something in the urine is not a good combination.

    As is often the case, "new, improved" is only half right!

    This has been happening for years with all sorts of products. Companies have to choose between raising the prices - which you would definitely notice, or reducing the quantity of product in what otherwise looks like the same packaging and hope you don't notice. It is indeed a sign of the times.

    Unfortunately you've probably gotten all the information you're going to get. P&G has a reputation for being very tight-lipped when it comes to ingredient disclosure. They claim it's proprietary information. You might want to buy from another company.

    Were you aware of the dog/dog food situation when you accepted the job? Was the owner aware of your health issues? If I were you I would start looking for another job ASAP. You probably will have absolutely no success changing a situation that worked for everyone else before you started there. In the meantime, it might be worth it to talk to the...

    If it were me, I'd find a new rheumatologist. This guy is not going to help you in any way.
  16. home-based-mom
    Unfortunately, no. It makes no sense to anybody except the manufacturers trying to save a buck, but that's the way it is, at least for now. Hope you are feeling better this morning.

    ERR, you would probably feel better if you wrote a letter to the doctor. Insist that it be kept in your (now closed) file. Keep emotions totally out of it. Just dryly outline all the visits you made, what you said, what he said and how you came back over and over without your problem ever being diagnosed. Send a copy to the medical board and more...

    Yes to what ravenwoodglass said. Actually Safeway carries many gluten free items but you will not find many of them in the center aisles where the processed foods are. You will find them around the perimeter in the fresh and frozen meats and produce sections. You don't have to be a good cook to fix a quick and easy meal. Your crock pot might...

    ACK! That's a lot of money! Is there a support group in your area? They would probably know which doctors are worth visiting and which doctors are best avoided.
  20. home-based-mom
    Just a quick response before others who are more familiar with the foods you listed jump in. First of all, I would not recommend adding more than one new food at a time. When you add several new things at once and then feel awful, you have no idea what caused it. Second, if the rice milk was Rice Dream, they can legally claim to be gluten free...

    I say make the whole event gluten free and other than the celiacs no one needs to know. Just let celiacs know that everything is safe for them!

    Perhaps this article from How Stuff Works will clarify things for you. Open Original Shared Link You should also show it to those who think they can dink around with substances that are poisonous to you and not have any negative consequences. You are not imagining the symptoms and some people just don't get it. But they need to. FWIW...

    Instead of wilting under the scrutiny (or testosterone-laden bullying) try answering with: "Hey, guys, I'm glad you asked. Let me tell you about the millions, yes millions of people in this country get sick eating just this very kind of food because they are either allergic to it or their bodies have an autoimmune response to it." Take it...

    My gluten-free yeast bread baking has been disastrous at best, but I do well with quick breads in the glass pans. I looked up the silicone stuff online because it seems so weird. The online jury is definitely out. Some people loved them. Others worried about the bright colors leaching out. Still others had the stuff out-gas really noxious fumes so...

    Exactly. So you wash your hands a lot, especially after being out in public. Assume absolutely everything is contaminated and protect yourself accordingly.
