    Well....since we're in the Army, we move a lot and there are "friends" that we don't see anymore. Those friends thought I was a hypochondriac and refused to acknowledge that there was a problem. Needless to say, I didn't eat at their house all that often. The friends that I have now are awesome. They go to great lengths to make sure that there is...

    What time on May 9th eastern? I've never watched it before....

    Hi my name's Jennifer and I used to be a bread eater.. I still like bread, but it's harder to find one that tasted like the "old" stuff. I've tried the Ener-G kinds and quite frankly they tasted like cardboard. I tried the Food for Life ones and they were too small. I like sandwiches, not appetizers. The one that I have found since being in Maryland...

    I have a "mixed kitchen"...relatively. I have a toaster oven and everyone uses it. I cook, and mainly all foods I serve are "gluten free" (potatoes and rice especially). When my kids and husband need that jolt of mac and cheese, there's e-z mac that they can cook in a bowl that goes in the dishwasher as soon as they are done with it. I don't clean things...

    I think Crayola makes a kind of tempera paint. I think I've seen it somewhere....they might be able to give ingredients on it.

    I wasn't dx'd Celiac either. Being a military spouse, you have to take what you get as far as medical care, and most of the Dr's just give you a "diagnosis" and a pill and send you out the door. I had problems for 6 months before I saw a GI. I was in the ER twice a week on average by that time and had lost over 65 pounds. The GI did a colonoscopy (?)...

    Hi and welcome! Personally I haven't had any problem with outside grills, but I make sure that anything that goes on it is "all" meat or veggies. As far as the household appliances, I have a toaster oven instead of a toaster to keep the crumbs away from my bread. I use a different cutting board than the one my husband uses, and I have a rule with butter...

    I haven't tried the Rice Dream Ice Cream, but I try not to shop at Whole Lotta Money. I absolutely love Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey though.

    Really...brittle nails are a sign of hyperthyroidism? How do they test for hyper/hypo thyroidism? Just curious...I've had brittle/rigged nails for as long as I could remember, and my Mom has thyroid issues.

    AWESOME!!!! Thanks so much!

    My parents refuse to go get tested for it. I seem to believe that my grandfather had it because he would get sick a lot after eating certain things. He was really skinny with a pot belly, too.

    Texas Celiac-- I'm from Mineral Wells! We're stationed in Maryland now, but my parents still live there.

    "YOU DON'T WANT NO BUN?!?!" OMG...I thought Oklahoma was bad....And I'm a Texan!

    My mother is the one who refuses to recognize that I have celiac disease. When my parents come visit, she always wants to go out to eat because she knows that I cook food that Ican eat. When we go there to visit, if I don't bring food I can eat, I don't eat. She fries meats and she uses canola oil (which makes me sick) and the veggies have sauces on them...

    I agree with Lollie and Nini--Croissants, and bagels, and OMG Krispy Kreme!! I'm the only one in the house currently on a gluten free diet and when I don't cook breakfast, my husband gets doughnuts...And I hide in the bedroom with a clothespin on my nose. I also miss Subway and Quizno's... My favorite day would be filled with Manicotti, Alfredo,...

    Yeah that sux...Makes me wish I was back in Texas...... But I don't like beer either. Bring on the fruity drinks!!!

    I've heard (but haven't tried yet) that you can make ravioli and other "filled" pastas with it. My neighbor said that he has used them and since they have almost no flavor, you can taste the filling and the sauce. He's not Celiac, but his wife is Korean and they had some that needed to be used. He made the ravioli and from what he said it was pretty good...

    I have read several posts where people have referred to Green's book, and I was wondering what the title is. The only books I have read have been by Jax Peters Lowell.

    Thanks Ursula. The information is definitely been appreciated. Should I stop her cold turkey or wean her off the gluten and dairy? I'm having second thoughts on the Wellbutrin, too. Thanks again.
  23. JenAnderson
    They put her on Wellbutrin for the ADHD and the depression. She loves to drink milk, too. We had to cut her down because she would drink it all day. Also she has probems with the opposite of the big D. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it either. Jeny

    I have Asperger's and depression. Going to school was really easy, but hard at the same time. I had few friends and people said that I was "weird" because they would ask me a question and I when I would answer them, it had nothing to do with what they asked. I read at a college reading level when I was 6, but math was hard. I excelled in art, writing...

    I would also like to recommend Against the Grain and the Gluten Free Bible. They're great for learning how to deal with others and there are menu cards for several languages for world travelling. I got Against the Grain when I first learned I had celiac disease and it helped me alot. Jax Peters Lowell is the author and she has a really wonderful sense...
