    Oh, I know they all track some, but when the litter bits are a full 20 feet away, past the litter mats I have to help stop tracking, it bothers me some. Thanks for your recommendation, I've seen the info about it, but it's always good to ask someone else who actually has cats about what they use.

    Does anyone here know of a natural (I really don't care for clay) clumping litter that's gluten-free? OK, I know that S'wheat's scoop is out, for obvious reasons, and my kitties really don't like the pine litters (like Feline Pine). I'm currently trying Arm and Hammer's corn based more natural litter, but idk if it's the right choice for my house. It seems...

    I saw the Asian chicken recipe, but I figured it was normally gluten-free, and didn't realize until now that this was a reformulation. It could be a good thing, but since Mrs. Leeper's seems so incredibly salty, IDK how I'll do with Hamburger Helper again

    Somewhat similar to a scone, but they tend to be only savory, not sweet. If you're still curious, google "Southern Buttermilk Biscuit" and see what you think, realizing that this is the gluten version.

    As long as you check the herbal teas for gluteny ingredients, they should be gluten-free and caffeine free. I know celestial seasonings is great about marking the boxes gluten-free when the blend is safe. Peppermint tea, fruity herbal teas, I've found them very yummy.

    Dh and I did Norwegian Cruise Line this summer and we both did fine. I'm off dairy and he's gluten-free, so when we'd go and sit at the nice sit down restaurant for dinner the matire d would bring out the next day's menu for lunch and dinner and we'd order both then, so they had plenty of time to fix them and substitute if needed. We didn't do the buffet...

    It's been awhile, wanted to see if I'd helped and if you'd gotten your question answered.

    You could also ask for a wine spritzer. Here in the states they mix wine and club soda to make a fizzy, low alcohol, drink that sounds a lot like the wine cooler you were asking for. Just be prepared to answer white or red.

    Check your Tums...there was one type we'd had in the house that had wheat in it. I hope it's not the type you're taking.

    You might list a location. As far as I know, there are no RX gluten-free items in the US, but many British and Australian celiacs do receive them. Hopefully the site will show, but here is a web page of British celiac's and they would have more info about prescriptions: Open Original Shared Link

    As I understand it, you have symptoms due to the damage that gluten causes you. Intestinal villi and damaged nerve endings do not heal as quickly as your system vacates the gluten. Also, someone on here once posted about the psychological addiction that one can have to gluten. Personally, eating out at lunch would be given up, as even when they act like...

    I'm not the OP, but my DH LOVES these cinnamon rolls! He's told me they're the closest thing to gluteny cinnamon rolls he's tasted since going on the diet. HTH

    Truthfully the numbers I've always been told to watch the closest are the TSH #'s. The 'normal' rage they have listed is outdated, the newest range says that normal should be between 0.3 and 3.0, which both of your TSH #'s were. The fact that your regular body temp went up while gluten-free is a good sign! That means that you maybe self correcting with...

    If they're plain pure pistachios, yes. Be sure to read the label, some nut packagers use flour for some stupid reason on the line. Usually the salted roasted ones that are still in the shell are OK, but always check, just in case.

    I hate to throw another autoimmune condition at you, but your bloodwork and cysts sound like PCOS. You might read up about it, and see what your doctor thinks. This wouldn't rule out celiacs, but a lot of cysters also have trouble with carbs and grains, and a low card diet helps treat the symptoms of PCOS. A good site is soulcysters(dot)net. I wrote it...

    If they are jerks and still require you to have a meal plan, make that manager put in writing that you are required to have the meal plan, they refuse to accommodate your diet and if you are sick from their food they won't pay medical fees. The local news will love putting that letter on the 5 o'clock news, and then you'll have a lot of legal ammunition...

    I'm sorry to burst bubbles, but NO bubble bath if you're at the (pardon me) peeing razors and acid point of an UTI. The bubble bath will irritate things and make it worse. I just shower for the first few days, but if you have to take a bath, plain water, and no soaking after you soap and shampoo.

    Yes, thank you, that is exactly what I meant. I've had friends think they're getting plenty of fiber, but they peel all their apples, pears, peaches, which takes away a lot of the fiber. Sorry it wasn't clear. On the fiber front, I have Sam's Club brand (Member's Mark) Fiber capsules that I take. The ingredients listed are: Psyllium husk,...

    On the constipation...are you getting enough fiber? Many people on a standard gluten diet get most of their fiber from whole grain products (which is sad). Do you eat fresh fruits and veggies with the skins or peels? If so, then you might need a gluten-free fiber product, just search and there are thread about safe ones. Make sure you're getting enough...

    Sam's/Walmart brand items are usually marked if they're gluten-free. somewhere on the label, usually close to the nutrition info they will print in capitol letters 'GLUTEN FREE.' In the statement at the bottom, they will also say if it's in a facility with wheat, or a line with wheat. Hope that helps!
  21. mindwiped
    They are actually really good about labeling. The band around the top that you remove usually says gluten-free right on it.

    Because of all your complications from the weight loss surgery, nobody can promise anything good or ill if you do go gluten-free. If you do have celiac's and the blood work and biopsy come back positive, please do try. There are many people on the board who will say how much it's helped. My dh has gone from a 29 inch waist and always ill (IBS, possible...

    Another thought to make it a little easier, create your own 'TV dinners.' Basically, get enough storage containers that you can fill and freeze enough meals for all your lunches and dinners for the week. Then the only meal you have to cook there is your breakfast, the others you'd just be reheating in the microwave, and keeping a storage container covered...

    I'm not a doctor, but has your doctor checked out your gallbladder? It's supposed to help process the fat in our diets, and the nausea and vomiting sounds a lot like what I had until I finally got my gallbladder removed. Hopefully I'm not sending you chasing a red herring, but it really sounds like a gallbladder issue; even if it's not, your doctor needs...

    DH and I did Carnival, and it was OK. The food was fine, but we're married w/o kids, and the entire ship was a childcare madhouse, as this is the most affordable cruise line. Next month we're going on Royal Carribean, and we've talked to them about DH's diet, they can handle his Celiac's, but don't have a box to check for my dairy allergy, so I maybe really...
