    Most beer is strictly of limits because it is brewed from barley and/or wheat. Redbridge is brewed from sorghum grain, which is also a good nutritional grain for baking if you haven't come across it yet. There are a couple of other gluten-free beers which I haven't tried, Bard's Tale is one. I drink Bacardi rum (made from cane sugar), many drink rum and...

    I am reminded of the old saw, he who represents himself has a fool for a client. Or he who treats himself has a fool for a patient. So, we do rely on our doctors to know more about something than we do; presumably that is why they have attended medical school and obtained whatever medical degrees and certifications they possess. It is unconscionable to me...

    A little self-abasement and mortification never hurt anyone - in fact it's good for the soul . Sorry you feel so crappy to make you behave this way, but at least you are aware and everything will be all right. Hope you feel better soon.

    Well, I love my Kitchen Aid so much I could not bear to be deprived of it stateside, especially since I need to make all my own breads here, so got a reconditioned one from Kitchen Aid for $150

    For a gassy stomach, the Gas-Ex gelcaps work well. The chewable tabs, however, have gluten.

    As a new community member, your posts initiallly have to be approved by a moderator. We try to get to them as quickly as we can; keep checking. Once you reach the magic number, 20 I believe, they will show up automatically. This is the way we try to keep our board spam free

    In a word, NO; for the most part they do not.

    I had an 'experience' whilst driving a rental car with Clay in the front and my mom, dad and brother in the rear. Heard this throbbing sound like a helicopter hovering over the top of the car, realized it was a tire problem (on the freeway in So.Cal) and kept calm, while Clay (never a good head in an emergency) was phlippin' phlipping out He kept telling...

    Sorry to have missed your post - I was a little indisposed when it came up and missed it . When I go to a restaurant I sometimes feel like I am "food" free, but at home it's no problem. For breakfast I usuallly have either a yogurt smoothie or the yogurt itself with sliced almonds, (sometimes a sprinkle of a rice cereal), strawberries, blueberries...

    Chris sounds like something every woman needs - a wife :lol:

    I would be really interested in hearing about your intention to avoid lectins, amd what led you to this conclusion, as one who believes wholeheartedly in lectin intolerance.

    I have this problem every time I go grocery shopping It must be just the sight of all that gluten that turns my tummy because it doesn't matter if it's morning or afternoon - I normally have to abandon my shopping cart and dive into the restroom

    Doctors really should know better than to tell you to stop eating gluten before you have been tested. It is hard enough to get a positive test result as it is. The bar for normal is set quite high and for an endoscopy to be positive there has to be a lot of damage. I endorse what the previous posters have said. If you listen to your body it will generally...

    So happy to hear your good news! Mothers!!!!! Sometimes, when we cannot love them, we just have to tolerate them I/m not sure how well you are feeling right now, but if you feel you can cope with another baby, I am sure you can. It's not like you are heading into an unknown experience. I am sure once the baby arrives and she sees all is well she will...

    When your doctor's P.A. is a hopeless incompetent and/or has it in for you You leave a message that you need an urgent appt. (instructions from the ER) and a prescrription for potassium. You get her voice mail which states that your call will be returned in 24 hours and DO NOT call again "because this only delays the process", and then she not only...

    I have also subbed buckwheat for sorghum if I didn't have any.

    Ya know, when I asked my rheumatologist about celiac and RA, he said he had never yet had a patient with celiac disease. I asked him if he had ever tested any of them , and he said, well, no he hadn't. He looked kinda shocked when I pointed out to him that 97% of celiacs are undiagnosed because no one ever thinks to test them. He then went on to say that...

    Cleangreen, Skylark may be right on the mark when suggesting lectins. I suggest you do some online reading on them - they are nasty things to those susceptible to them. I am one of those. I have had to eliminate soy, peanuts, nightshades, corn, legumes (even green peas and beans), and citrus (I am hoping this is only temporary and I have been slowly consuming...

    OMG, I do so sympathize with what you have been through. I love your (Freudian?) use of 'badpans' . Fortunately, I was not subjected to that humiliation and was allowed to get up to go potty trailing my five lines behind me . Your memory gaps in and of themselves must be a bit frightening; that drug obviously did not suit you. I was put on two IV drugs...

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. You will find discussions here on practically every subject you can think of (and maybe some you hadn't even thought of ). Don't be afraid to post a new topic if you don't find it covered, or add to another topic. Any questions you have, just fire away and I am sure you will get...

    Peter, Jacquie, Em - so sorry for your losses. You all did your bestest to beat the odds and make loving homes for stranded/abused pets, but sometimes it doesn't work no matter what you do. Those who mistreat animals are the lowest forms of life and deserve the same treatment themselves. As for Bugheera, I'm with the others - he will find a one-pet household...

    Sean, some of us spend a lifetime trying to "figure it out" because our docs don't do it for us. I am one of those that developed strong symptomatology as soon as I quit smoking. However, it took almost 40 years to figure it out. I knew it wasn't IBS or fibromyalgia despite what the docs said, but I didn't know what it WAS I would strongly urge you...
