Hi, I know what you mean about the corn! I've been gluten-free for six months, but felt really achy a lot. I was complaining to someone about that, and they said "well what have you added in since you went gluten-free?"...okay, I added in a lot of corn stuff to make up for the lost wheat, like tacos, corn chips, tortillas etc.. I took them out and the...

To Maso: I thank you also for the Hogan thesis link. That was exactly the piece of literature my husband was needing to find to help him think through his ADD. We are also getting the book. Thank you. Valerie

Yep, definitely a likelihood for actresses. I read about a model, recently, who had finally figured out why she was so skinny, which made her a sought after model, but was bad for her health because she had celiac. I might have read that in Living Without. I wish people could learn that super thin is not necessarily healthy for women for so many reasons...

That is a great candy list, still-----I really crave the Lindt brand round truffle things they sell at the check out at Borders Books!! Does anyone know if these are gluten-free or not? I don't need the calories so maybe it would be better if they are off limits! Valerie

Mela, I hope you feel better soon. We will not be defeated by one funky chicken!! Since you are wondering about that chicken you ate: do you know that sometimes chicken has stuff injected into the meat by the processor, like a some sort of salt solution containing who knows what. I was really surprized to read a label in the grocery on some raw chicken saying...

Thanks everyone for the notes on my daughters college cooking dilema, and good ideas about the food service people. I'll keep you posted on what they say, and I'm going to go check for information on the Americans with Disabilities Act. - I didn't even know we were covered in that! Re: the younger kids (I have a 6th grader too)...does anyone think it...

Yikes my friends, I'm not just having to think about grade school - WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE!!! My daughter is a freshman and has just been diagnosed. We have requested that she be allowed to live in the off campus apartments next year to be able to cook for herself. (the cafeteria cannot realisticly meet her needs)... and they are dragging their feet, and this...

Great list - thanks! FYI the toll free for ECCO BELLA is (877)696-2220. They sent me their catalog with lots of gluten-free stuff. Love love love their lipstick. Dreamhouses

Hi, try ECCO BELLA - toll free (877)696-2220! I get their lipsticks at Whole Foods in Annapolis, and am crazy about their stuff. You can't imagine how relieved I was to find out that their products are (almost) all gluten free - after I found out I had celiac. They were really helpful when I called , and sent a catalog. They list the mascara a having...

Hi Heather, I was so excited about your research project till I got to the last post about your professor not supporting it!! I'm wondering if you are in the psych dept. or med school or what. I guess that would change how appropriate the research would be. Despite his/her response I think its really cool that you are channeling your energy and thoughts...

Dear Jaimek, would you mind my asking if you had done an endoscopy with your initial diagnosis, and all the blood tests? If you did, how much damage had the first endoscopy shown? I'm in the 6th month of trying to do this, and getting discouraged, but your post is giving me hope. thanks, dreamhouses

Hi Deby, here's some feedback in case it helps, FYI I'm a working graphic artist, painter,...Green and black are not very appetizing colors, also I agree with the above that the wheat stalk is hard to read as going with the "no" sign. I think I'd start again with the image - maybe a chefs hat and a cup and saucer would be fun. I know how much effort goes...

TO JOHANNA, congratulations on your pregnancy. Be happy...I had two beautiful babies before I was diagnosed. I was dealing with lots of food and chemical allergies at the time, but my body seemed to become stronger and tolerate more with the pregnancies, not less! This boost lasted for years afterwards too. The body works to give the baby what it needs...

Mela, I hope you are doing better now. That sounds rough. Make sure they check if you have some anemia causing problems, and monitor your blood sugar levels. Certainly low blood sugar can hit you that way, and anemia too. If its low blood sugar keep your protien high and eat small meals 5 times a day.(those are the only two things I can personally suggest...

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried using Aloe Vera juice as a healing agent for their digestive track. I like to drink some of the Georges Aloe juice and find it very healing. It's the clear stuff that just tastes like water, that I get at Whole Foods...I know they say your supposed to drink that horrible tasting unrefined stuff, but I hate it...
