    Ask them to give you the anesthetic that does not contain epinephrine -- I always do, because I get bad palps from it too. Yes as to the sauce, but it would have to be "Sauteed baby portabella mushrooms in a sherry reduction sauce" for an A grade

    What?? No S or C??? IH, you really must do better than this! You are capable of so much more. Grade: C- Only excuse permitted: Not well.

    Expiditiously - it always sounds like you are setting out on a great journey, but in reality you are just supposed to be moving your butt!!!! Thanks for your thoughts and wellness wishes. Seems like this may be an ongoing problem, unfortunately HaHa, haha, some of the hospital staff are glad I'm gone, I think I seem to have been on a grammatical...

    The only dislikeable bacons are baaaad bacon, and bacon with gluten

    Oh goody!!! Great to have someone to blame. No more posting for you for a while, Bhughnee!!! And that means no smart retorts, too!!!

    Well psills, once more back into the fray after a five-day hospital detour for fluid on (and in) the lungs No diagnosis, so we'll see what eventuates. That stuphph gets awfully boring after a while. So here's your funny for today: TODAY'S ENGLISH LESSON No dictionary has been able to explain adequately the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED...

    Yes!!! And then you can go back to being shadowicewolf, the person, instead of shadowicewolf, the student

    My reactions to corn and wheat (gluten) are identical; that's why it took me so long to 'see the light'. I would go to a Mexican restaurant and eat no gluten, yet I still got a reaction (ok, cc perhaps). I would eat no corn, still get a reaction (cc??). Pretty hard to go to a Mexican restaurant and get no corn or gluten (I used to order the prawns and...

    Here's the list of the celiac tests to be done: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA Do get all of them (insist) because sometimes you end up positive on only one or two - but that's all it takes.

    That makes three of us here, Clay and I are on the list, too. How many more of us are there???

    Congratulations, well done, you!! I am so sorry about your anxiety though. Some MRI machines actually play music for you while you are in them which does help. And the open MRI's are ever so much easier to cope with. I would suggest just playing over and over in your head your favorite piece of music or making up variations to it, anything to keep your...

    Welcome to the board, Pam, and congratulations on finding someone willing to check for celiac - not always an easy task. It may take a day or two (or three) for the results to come in depending on what he ordered and your location. When you do get them, we would love to take a look. Be sure to ask for a print-out for yourself (you should do this with all...

    What I was meaning is, we are both gluten intolerant, so there is no point in trying to cook for either of us, so it becomes more of a one-way street

    From my reading and experience most lectin-intolerant people are not intolerant to all lectins, but rather specific groups of lectins. You have listed most of the groups up there. Soy and peanuts belong with the legumes, or at least I put them in the same class. I avoid the peanuts not because of trialling them but because I do not tolerate soy. I have...

    The only situation where the bring your own food doesn't work is where you have dinners with special couples (just them alone, not a whole tableful of people) and we used to do this often because hubs can't hear from one end of the table to the other . It's rather hard when they are inviting just you!! to dinner and wanting to show off their cooking,...

    Constipation *(and diarrhea), dry skin, chronic fatigue, depression, irritability, brain fog, hair loss, Graves disease, low nutrient levels, weight gain (as well as weight loss), anemia (pernicious or otherwise) are all frequently associated with celiac disease. I would hope that no one experiences all symptoms of celiac or they would be a miserable wreck...

    Well that is what one could call a wasted hour Anyone can pull the old IBS diagnosis out of a hat blindfold!! But there's not a soul here on this board who would do that to you. He was basically telling you he just was not interested. Yes, of course all symptoms should be considered, but they very seldom are. Often you are rationed to the number...

    Just keep saying, "I work well under pressure", "I work well under pressure"

    We look forward to your results. Please be sure to post the test, your score, and the ranges the lab uses (negative, equivocal/weakpositive, positive)

    I was always able to tolerate cheese, yogurt, butter; had to eliminate milk, ice cream, cream, frozen yogurt. Have successfully recincorporated all dairy back into my diet. For most of us it is the lactose (milk sugars) we have problems with as the site for the production of the digestive enzyme for that is at the tips of the villi which are destroyed...

    I'll come edit it for you - I love doing that (I am ruthless )
  22. mushroom
    Hah-Hah How about we make that "Clown"??? Me fingers (or brain - dunno which) failed me again. But I do live in a crazy town right now, where it is only safe enough for Prince Charles and various celebrities to go downtown, but none of the residents are allowed downtown because it's too dangerous, and it is driving us insane!!! And we should form...
