PEOPLE!!!!!! The rollover of the MSD (most significant digit) (or for the math-impaired, the two) can and will happen NUMerous times. The matched 1999 is a singu-frrrrreakin-larity!!!!!!

I suspect everyone's seen this before, tho hey .. .. .somehow *I* hadn't until recently. My less-than-tech-savvy stepmother printed & snailmailed it to me.

ARCHIVED Friends/family Who Just Don't Care
tom replied to mrsry's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
People just don't understand. It's part of what makes this forum & meeting other celiacs in real life so utterly invaluable to me. Try to remember it really is due more to ignorance than cold-hearted apathy. -
I'd like to know where you read that, as they need to be educated. It's false. Also, our problem w/ gluten is really w/ a protein fraction inside a gluten molecule. In wheat it's called gliadin.

ARCHIVED "gluten Free Restaurants" Needs An Overhaul.
tom replied to smooth1nfernal's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
I, too, was at first surprised & maybe disenfranchised by all the pinned threads. I ended up realizing it just doesn't quite mean the same thing as in other forums & actually works quite well for this situation. Here, 'pinned' is more of an 'approved by management' for viewing/replying, as opposed to the usual purpose of 'pinned' on other forums... -

ARCHIVED Traveling On The Candida Diet . . . Advice?
tom replied to psipsina's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
On the plane I usually bring raw cashews. Used to roast/bake them, or almonds, first but haven't bothered the last few times. Also for the plane I've brought brown rice tortillas rolled up w/ almond butter. Once, after switching which bag would be carry-on, I got pulled to the side after they saw my potentially explosive (& over 3 oz) jar of almond... -

Mr. 3AM? Susie's engaged! Prrrregnant? noooooooOO? Hmmmm Flower job pays 3x expected AND a lovestruck Clooney was there? Granted rightful ownership of Big Sur cabin? Or, given the dingy affinity for hyperbole, could be Nuggets on a 2-for-1 special at Tar-zhay. Fun? Wondrous? Amazing beyond belief? <I don't think she's... -
ARCHIVED Yet Another Person With A Yeast/candida Question
tom replied to Dru's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I found the other nut butters perfectly palatable, tho it may be because I was used to 0 sugar. Stevia made me dizzy the one time I tried it. BTW, the problem w/ peanut butter isn't just the sugar. The way peanuts are stored and processed makes them ALL moldy w/ aflatoxins. -
ARCHIVED Can Tooth Decay Affect Your Mental Health?
tom replied to FlourShopGirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't think you should go for all implants at only 31, but the real reason I'm posting is to say that I'd been gluten-free for 3+ yrs before finally finding what I call my FINAL food intolerance, and THAT's when the anxiety, depression, and some bits of OCD biz finally went away. Your mental issues may also clear up just by quitting another food. For... -

ARCHIVED Yet Another Person With A Yeast/candida Question
tom replied to Dru's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I thought blueberries were far too sweet for someone w/ candida. I wasn't even eating carrots, as they were deemed too sweet.
