  1. I am sorry you have been having a run of bad luck. Sometimes in life $*[t happens. But it is not normal for it to happen constantly. I remember when I was in driver's ed and they showed a video of what could happen while you were driving - dogs running out, kids chasing tennis balls, redlight runners, pedestrians not looking where they were going, blind...
  2. They Call the Wind Maria - The Kingston Trio (one of my first albums )
  3. The one thing I would ask her is, what diagnosis is she prepared to give you if your symptoms resolve on the gluten free diet? Celiac, or non-celiac gluten intolerant? At the moment there is still a big distinction made between the two.
  4. If you do some reading here: Open Original Shared Link - you will find that gluten molecules vary greatly in size, but are some of the largest molecules there are. So the zonulin in our guts must open the gates pretty wide to let them through into the bloodstream. This must be why they do not pass through the epidermis; i.e., you can only get a skin...
  5. The Ship Song - Pearl Jam
  6. After all the rinsing cycles that a washer goes through, I do not believe there is any potential gluten powder residue on the bed linen to worry about. Remember that hotels have to wash their sheets to a standard that even those who have allergic skin reactions to various products will not react to their bed linen. I have always luxuriated in hotel bed...
  7. I'm thinking you may well have to raise them yourself. Although most insects are naturally herbivorous, they would grow much quicker on grains and I don't think their culture has been much affected by the gluten free movement. It would be easier if you lived in Asia, Africa, South America or The Netherlands, or even the interior of Australia.
  8. Yep, that's me. Just fell asleep on my keyboard Gosh, my life is boring.
  9. I don't think I have ever seen this view expressed here. If all testing is negative it is always suggested, because of non-celiac gluten intolerance / sensitivity, that you give the diet a good six-month trial to see if it works for you, but the only time it is ever recommended to stay on the diet no matter what is if you test positive but have no symptoms...
  10. Pseriously?? I guess we is all too busy bein' psuitably pserious
  11. Lady Jane - Queensynche (Definitely track!! - you've been looking at too many GI tracts)
  12. Actually, the TSH doesn't tell you much about your thyroid function. The complete panel is: Hypersensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) free thyroxine (fT4) free triiodothyronine (fT3) reverse T3 (rT3) anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) fT4/fT3 fT3/rT3 Of...
  13. Easy - Commodores
  14. Take Care - Drake
  15. Synonymous terms: sweet rice flour; sticky rice flour; glutinous rice flour; i.e., any rice flour that isn't called white or brown
  16. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! for this post. I have just "oven cleaned" a pan and was wondering how I was going to reseason it (one that hubs had worked his dubious magic on ) and this popped up on my screen at exactly the right time
  17. With Codex wheat starch they claim that the processing entirely removes the gluten. Many are dubious of this scientific claim Many of the super sensitive celiacs claim that they react to it. You will have to test for yourself and see if eliminating it helps you.
  18. SoyJoy and Itch Be Gone, have you read the Dermatitis Herpetiformis thread through, and restricted your intake of Iodine? Many DH sufferers find that iodine really aggravates their rash.
  19. I only needed the B12 injections because I had a reaction to the sublinguals.
  20. Take My Breath Away - Jessica Simpson
  21. On the other hand, "intolerance" has some not-so-nice connotations too
  22. Sparks Fly - Taylor Swift
  23. My iron levels were okay but B12, folate were low, and MCV (mean corpuscular volume) was too high - only just - meaning the red blood cells were not dividing normally and I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia. Took the B12 shots, and folate, and was fine.
  24. ....like your butterfly wings have dried
  25. He really is a honey. How lovely it is to be loved and apppreciated by someone for who you are and not for what you are able or unable to do. And you deserve those uncountable roses -- do not even try to quantify them!
