    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    we feed the dog before the kids get up and again after they go to bed, other than that, I made him some gluten free dog treats and he doesn't lick.......anyone........ever. we haven't had a problem. I have to wear gloves of course since I have celiac too, but it hasn't glutened me yet.

    we had used baking soda for a while on my girls teeth when before the store here started carrying the children's toothpaste we use now. It didn't taste great, but it was gluten free and safe.

    From one of the ladies in my support group she says it keeps them in line a LOT better because they know that if they screw up you have it in writing that they know what to do, it means they were negligent with your kid, and that's not something the school wants everyone and their dog to be talking about, so you might look into getting this done....

    I'm gluten free, but I am glad that I don't have to give up watermellon baby! yum, had some today for breakfast........it's God's little gift personally to me Ijust know it. LOL

    that's what I thought, but I have been surprised before....... I remember harvest being hard on my allergies when I was at my uncle's wheat farm, but I really thought it was the dust.......looking back it could have been a combo I wonder though if you are right about the stalks being "de-glutened"
  7. Smunkeemom
    that could work, and we could decorate them too!! (yeah, we are that silly)

    so the consensus is "not safe"? I found a place with Alfalfa hay, is that safe?
  9. Smunkeemom
    I am trying to set up a hay ride this fall and guess what the hay is made out of? wheat Do you guys think it would be okay for us to sit on it if we don't come into contact with it (blankets ect.) and then eat at the bonfire after if we really really really scrub our hands?

    My grandfather, my mom, myself, and both my daughters have celiac disease. We suspect others in the family do to, but they are too stuborn to get tested. So far, myself and my daughters are the only ones 100% gluten free and guess what? we are the only ones who aren't sick (shocking isn't it)

    I had them pre-dx and was told it was my gallbladder, had it removed, it was better for a while, then came back when I would eat gluten. Dr. said it was scar tissue, but since I have been gluten free it's been gone. Have you had them check your gallbladder? I know that mine was actually messed up, so I don't know what the pain was other than it's gone...

    I should have fixed it once I found out that I had been mistaken, in fact I will go fix it now.
  13. Smunkeemom
    we confirmed in an earlier post that I was mistaken about the chili but I never got around to editing out my comment.

    un-treated or undiagnosed celiac can kill, it's very rare that a person who is diagnosed and eating gluten free dies. Think of it this way, when a celiac eats gluten they can't absorb the food they eat because of the damage to the intestines, basically no matter how much they eat they starve to death. If you go gluten free and your intestines heal...

    My youngest almost died from undiagnosed celiac, but technically she would have died from malnourishment caused by celiac disease. I do know that some people are so far gone even when they do get diagnosed that they die from complications related to celiac, like a friend of mine who is fighting stomache cancer that they say was "caused" by her celiac...

    I was actually told by a few doctors (different settings) that you can not get a false positive on a blood test for celiac, since it's looking for antibodies and you body would not produce those antibodies without reason.
  17. Smunkeemom
    I think she means a false negative. You can't get a false positive, only a false neg. (bold added by me)

    when you get D and tummy aches you may have eaten too much fruit in one sitting. (same thing for veggies, but add gas) I used to be vegan, and there was no such thing as too much fruit and veggie, but you have to make sure your diet it otherwise balanced (like put some peanut butter on your apples LOL) anyway, I wouldn't worry about it, if you...

    your husband is right, you have to be on gluten for the tests to show up (unless you just had a LOT of damage and it's still not healed) I think the rule is 3 months with the equivelent of 4 slices of bread a day.

    Until a few weeks ago, my gluten free chicken fried steak was great (for those not from the South US, it's cubed steak breaded and fried) however, hubby has recently figured out (through the elimination diet) that he is lactose intolerant, which messes up my whole egg/milk mixture that I dip the steak in to make the flour stick. I tried it with...

    you can have fun though, go to the movies, learn to play a sport. volunteer somewhere. getting out of the house and being around people will help you heal emotionally and you won't be sitting around thinking about "you know what" just my unprofessional advice though...LOL I still think ice cream is a good idea (of course I really am craving that right...

    I had no clue those even existed. I know what I am adding to my shopping list this week. Anyone have to order online (there isn't a store that carries them here) what's the turn around?
  23. Smunkeemom
    I am not a teenager either (24) but maybe you could find out what restruant he is taking you to (it's not rude to ask him I don't think) and go by there and talk to the manager before hand, then claim to have to use the restroom (powder your nose, whatever) and find the manager and tell him that you are there now, and he will be able to keep an eye on your...
  24. Smunkeemom
    what? I am confused.
  25. Smunkeemom
    I grant you a little bit more, but only if you also have a gluten free snack with it, like....... some........ice cream.
