    You betcha; everywheres you go there's a sleazy, the whole world is overloaded with them, little weasley mens leering everywhere they's not supposed to Just goes to show: only in Canada is it too cold to walk de dog! That is so sad Soozle, to be so estranged from bro. I have a sister that could be like that but we make special efforts...

    I was paying attention before I stopped eating gluten; I just didn't know what it was trying to tell me. I had commented many times that I felt "toxic" but did not know the cause of the toxicity. My body is still telling me something I am not in tune with yet; I still have itchy skin, not bad but mildly. Because of my psoriasis I am used to itching so...

    Been thinking of doing some remodelling I see! So sorry for the loss of beloved wee Mousey. Your daughter has just learned one of life's harder lessons.; but what we lose on the swings we gain on the roundabouts. Good news on hubbie's new job possibilities. Yep, been out there polishing the brass all day Psillies lost their...

    I commented to Dh, last night, ohmigod, we have just been spammed big time! I appreciate the problem. Is there no way we can filter out the one-timers versus the long-timers?

    ARCHIVED Mockingbirds And Celiac

    mushroom posted a topic in Doctors

    Visited my PCP today because she is going to be on vacation for a month and I will be on vacation for 3 months; we covered all the basics, and I included a mention that this was celiac awareness month (she did not diagnose me, but in fairness by the time I got to her I had stopped looking for a diagnosis). Anyways, I mentioned the mockingbird allusion posted...

    In my browsing I found this summation written by a layperson: Open Original Shared Link IMHO, if all newbies were to read this, maybe in a separate thread, as an introduction to the disease/forum, it would help everyone, questioners and responders, in that it would give everyone a solid starting point. I would be interested if everyone else is as impressed...

    Well, No.1, they get darned annoyed that we would presume to usurp their territory (which, by the way, they have abandoned on us), and No.2, they find it really hard to believe that other people can read and deduce, put two and two together and actually come up with four. So no, they are not interested in anything we present to them, because how can we possibly...

    Getting a diagnosis of celiac is like pulling teeth with tweezers! Once in a while you might be successful if the tooth was ready to fall out anyway; otherwise, good luck! Celiac is always the last diagnosis on most doctors' minds, and yet they are happy to diagnose you with irritable bowel syndrome (now, just what exactly causes that irritability, doc...

    Hi, and welcome to the forum. The symptoms you describe are certainly consistent with someone who has celiac disease, or at the very least gluten intolerance. It can greatly weaken your immune system, leaving you susceptible to respiratory infections--wich was me, all my life. From my personal experience with my husband it can also cause a kind of allergic...

    Thanks for doing the leg work on that Roda. I guess I was too tired (or too lazy!)

    I read just the other day (sorry I can't give a reference--think it was on Yahoo news ) that the "experts" have now reached the conclusion that D2 is just as good as D3. I just wish they'd make up their darned minds.

    You do have to distinguish between lactose and casein intolerance. Since the villi in the small intestine are damaged by gluten, and the tips of the villi produce the lactase that digests the lactose, most people with intestinal damage are intolerant to lactose until the intestine heals. The amount of time this takes depends on the amount of damage. Many...

    Thank goodness I don't have that to live up to; hard enough being the person I believes me to be And, pray tell, when has there evah been a house built that hasn't run into humongous snags?? Coulda told you NOT TO DO THIS (if you had only asked). Talk about major aggravations and marriage breakupstressors--this has to rank right up there, maybe...

    I am anticipating??? a couple of gluten free meals on ANZ in about three weeks. While I wouldn't exactly describe them as "cuisine", what we were offered last time was not bad, although the things they called "rolls" you could have played golf with!! (or maybe tenpin bowling)

    Have I missed something about Janet? Was it on the Book? Whatever problems you are having Janet, however big, my thoughts are with you.

    Yes, I think it might even be worldwide. Even down here! I was at a gluten free expo sponsored by one of our (smaller) supermarket chains and found other bakeries just getting started, a plethora of gluten free foods. I think for some of the food processors it was quite an eye opener to come face to face with their customers and realize how many of them...

    Well, yes, you may object to "verbed " nouns (or "nouned" verbs or "adjectived" verbs) but they are devilishly convenient and often more descriptive. To state that one has been glutened is totally different from stating that one has consumed gluten; the former implies a negativity, something that has been done to one (that one did not desire), while the...

    Ahh, the joys of poison ivy. Obviously you two are from the mid to eastern part of the country. Out west we enjoy poison oak just as much. It was one of the reasons for leaving California. I had a cat who seemed to wallow in it and delighted in sharing, even though I gave it a wide berth (the poison oak, not the cat). Like you, Roda, I was totally unreactive...

    I believe the only water that would ever have gluten would be one of those flavoured waters you buy in bottles.

    Do you have a large cooler in which you could store your food instead of in the refrigerator. You could wrap the gel pads in foil when you put them in the freezer and then unwrap them before putting in your cooler. This way your food will not be contaminated. Will you have an opportunity to pop out and replenish your supplies when the daughter is there...

    I think you would find a few, maybe two or three (more than the one in 133 now estimated), but nowhere near 70. Although I personally don't believe that gluten is good news for anybody, there are not that many people in whom it causes significant problems. I personally consider moderate villous atrophy to be a significant problem and evidence that gluten...

    I know you have been feeling bad, but know you are not alone. I gave up eating gluten, and within two weeks caught flu which hung around for three weeks over Christmas and New Year. I had one good week and then came down with acute bronchitis and was sick for another three weeks. It didn't seem fair--ruined my whole summer and no reward for my lifestyle...

    Hey, thanks for those names; I will file them away in my chocolate connoisseur file for next month. Lately I have just been scrounging around in the dumpster for whatever I can find :lol:
