    That was lovely! Thank you for sharing. I love Emerson--have many quotes around my home. The lighthouse was beautiful.

    Hi there. I can certainly relate to your plight, as I have similiar symptoms and no positive labs for any of the usual suspects. But, negative labs don't mean that there isn't anything wrong, only that your doctors haven't figured it out yet. My daughter has celiac, my mother has psoriatic arthritis and fibromiyalgia, my father has rheumatoid arthritis...

    I am so sorry for you, and even more sorry for your little one. I am reading this with my jaw hanging. This is completely heinous, and yes--cruel, and yes--irresponsible, and dare I say--un-spiritual ie loveless, thoughtless, heartless, meaningless treatment of an innocent just barely able to comprehend the significance of what it means 1) to be a member...

    Buttercup: Look, group, a late arrival! Hi Lyle, and welcome. Yes, I think many of us here have had the experience of being kept in the cycle of addiction by our co-dependent enabling two-leggeds. (restless angry sounds from the group) But, that's ok. We're secretly plotting to overthrow our oppressors by slowly draining their wallets with our ridiculous...

    "This act is not unlike dances performed by football players after a touchdown." --direct quote from above Is this like slapping yer mates on the behind? What will they think of next? i must be really old or somethin--i just don't unnerstand kids dese days I wonder if there's a support group for catnip users. Mayhap would go somethin like...

I love "Poor Man's House", too... you know you've done enough when every bone is sore Any "Indigo Girls" fans out there? My life in lyric... Open...

    Good mornin-- All is well. Able to get down on knees to sort laundry this a.m., but carrying down the stairs was a little ouch. Tis me life. Inflammatory pain is like an evil stalker--even when it's not with you, it's lurking, lingering, just waiting to catch you unawares I spent yesterday w/ me little one--so proud of the amazing little person she...

    Ditto. I always wonder about people like this god awful nurse you had. Did someone torture her with enemas as a child? Why on earth would someone treat a sick man this way? She must have gotten off on the power trip. B****!! Let's slash her tires. <<sigh>> Jestgar, I really loved the poem, too. You are quite the rhymer, psilly girl...

    Thanks for your advice and well wishes, everybody. Definitely NOT the flu (happens way too often). Not food poisoning either, unless I've been eating the same rotten food every few weeks for years. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the wine I had 3 days ago; I only had about 3 or 4 ounces--half a normal sized wine glass. I know I ate one bite of some scalloped...

    Hi all. Not feeling good, need to unload. My little one was officially diagnosed in January, but we've been at this for a lot longer than that. I started her on gluten free in August '08 and never looked back--results miraculous. But recently (about 2 months ago), I made the decision to make our entire household gluten free. I had made too many cc mistakes...

    Hello. Sorry for the delayed post. When my child first became symptomatic her liver enzymes and bilirubin count were really high, with no medical reason/explanation. Once it was discovered that she had celiac and her body healed, the counts all eventually went back to normal. After much discussion and questioning of her GI doctors, the only answer we...

    Many newly diagnosed celiacs are also dairy intolerant, at least in the beginning stages of the gluten free diet/healing process because the villi in the small intestine are damaged. The villi are the finger like projections in the bowel wall that digest and absorb nutrients and become flattened/damaged by the auto-immune response the body creates to fight...

    No such thing!! You crack me up, anyway And--bonus--you use words like "verdant" and "glib" and "flippant" in everyday conversation. Love it ps--how do I get those silly emotes from the bottom to insert in my posts??

    For years I tried to find my "authentic self". Maybe that's what was missing all along--a peg leg I love the supply list for the fake parrot prop How-to: Good aft, mates.

    My daughter missed them, too. My response from SillyYakBakery@wmconnect.com, Thanks for your interest. We do make Gluten Free Pop Tarts which are $2.50 per pop tart. We have flavors consisting of Apple, Raspberry, and Blueberry. All orders are two week notice from time of order. We are however trying to switch the pop tart to turnovers because...

    SLEEP HYGIENE? Sounds more like torture... ~Eliminate nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, and other stimulants That is, like, 90 % of my daily consumptive value ~Avoid napping Avoid it?? Hell, I've been trying to TAKE one for about 10 years. ~Limit activities in bed Hmmm--a girl could really have some fun with this one But... People...

    My understanding of the lactose/fructose intolerence tests is that patient is given a drink containing the ingredient in question (such as a kool-aid type juice drink for the fructose test) then made to breath into a device to measure the gasses released. It sounds expensive. Do you have insurance? If so, check with them first to know what your portion...

    Psillies are bad for mi concentration. I'm starting to act just like mi dog. Let's compare... Here's mi dog: "Ok, act cool, act cool. Look--a squirrel!"
