  1. PS for Bunny - I like your taste in cabana boyz - I'll keep my eye out for the right candidates on the beaches - not a fan of the clone - but do think we can find a few to do your bidding.
  2. Couldn't have said it better -- thanks guys. CMw --- I vote for very plush and cozy footsie jammies -- I have an adult sized pattern -- once we have the compound I will take orders in your choice of colors!
  3. Re-do of June Anniversaries tonight -- I was a zombie so slept thru our 25th & Mom and Dad celebrated their 60th -- for which I was a zombie and Mom was having serious health issues of her own...I'm doing great and she is improving so tonight we "celebrate" together: Meatloaf -- one of my Dad's favs and we did have filet mignon just the other day...
  4. Nice! Thanks Sylvia and Irish for this helpful instruction - I too have been doing it all wrong
  5. I agree with RiceGuy - while vaccines are truely miraculous for many - those of us with bodies that clearly react negatively to certain proteins need to be extra cautious. Synthetic proteins are becoming more involved in vaccine delivery mechanisms as well - again - phenominal research, but safe for all - no.
  6. Welcome! This really is very good news - I won't kid you - the transition is tough, but once you learn how to replace all your favorites life becomes much easier and you gain health! Read as much as you can and ask loads of questions - it really does help speed the transition.
  7. This is the perfect place to vent -- we all have a time or twelve Read as much as you can, ask questions or simply vent - we get it.
  8. Sorry no one answered -- inflammation everywhere in the body for me. Update regarding Nettle Tea: My son and I are still drinking once daily - he has one tea bag and I use two bags and let mine steep for a long time. We have found that if we skip a day or two our issues - my joint pain and abdomen bloat return slightly -- his sinuses become more...
  9. BLT -- can't eat the Bacon, Tomato, Bread or Mayo -- but can have salmon jerky -- yum -- it is in the dehydrator now -- threw it on the back porch this time so my house won't smell like teriyaki salmon this time. Oh -- and I make carrot, garlic onion puree for my "spaghetti" sauce and it is pretty darn good - am I still looking forward to my first BLT...
  10. Congratulations!!! That first year is a b%$@# and I can honestly say it is the hardest -- things can still go pear-shaped but you are strong and will overcome each road block given time. May this year be your best ever - Cheers!
  11. Thanks Karen! Will give it a try for the guys -- I'm sure they will be quite happy
  12. coconut aminos? oh my...maybe I'll have to run over there early and put my jerky on hold -- hubby says the soy sauce version does taste better -- but since I can't taste it I can't compare and was quite happy with my "safe" batch. Vinegar does however help with some other sauces -- but sadly it does not replace lemon
  13. doh....totally forgot...and forgot to write it down...but am making again in the morning -- salmon is soaking in salt water in the frig overnight -- that is the first step most recipes call for soy and I substituted molasses -- still not certain if molasses is good for me -- but know I can't do soy sauce -- will post marinade as soon as I whip some up...
  14. I've got it -- we train the cabana boys to make all our recipes and send them out to run our Allergy Friendly Restaurant Franchise -- while we sit back and think of new delicious treats -- which will keep the restaurants popular and profitable -- which will provide us with all the toys, cabana boys, travel funds and groceries we need to live..... ....Happily...
  15. Hi Kristin! Any news from Neuro? Hoping to hear you have received more positive news You remain in my thoughts and prayers for healing.
  16. Hi Peg! I have it. Developed between two and three years gluten-free! I am finally improving health wise so I am excited to have my next endo -- not for at least another six months to see if the gastritis and other digestive inflammation is subsiding or hopefully by that point - gone! I know you have already removed some foods and hate to suggest...
  17. Welcome Revolverblue! I remember well the frustration of reading every flipping label in the grocery store -- was reduced to tears a few times. Many here will suggest you stick to simple whole foods when newly diagnosed. This is great advice -- not only is it easier to find gluten free foods when you avoid processed items, you will heal more quickly...
  18. Hello Fourleaf!!! Paul has provided excellent info. I just wanted to say welcome and you have landed in the perfect spot on the net. Many of us - even with positive blood and biopsy have walked a similar path to yours -- sometimes crawled Since all the testing your doctors have run are "normal" removing ALL gluten is a great place to start...
  19. Can you offer to prepare the evening meals? Perhaps she would like a break from this duty -- you can show rather than tell her. If she doesn't want to relinquish this duty - make your own. Living safely with gluten eaters is possible, but takes diligence on your part -- until things change -- keep a set of pots, pans and cooking utensils in a safe...
  20. I sure wish I could answer this....some say it means you simply have Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance...some say you have Celiac Disease that has not yet caused enough damage to release enough antibodies to test positive from the digestive tract to the blood. For me - I tested barely positive on all antibodies at age 43 with total villi atrophy -- celic...
  21. PS... Did you have nutrient testing? All Bs, D, K, iron, ferritin, copper and zinc along with CMP (complete metabolic panel) usually give an indication of the malabsorption caused by celiac disease.
  22. My humble opinion - hold off on antibiotics - remove gluten for at least three months (six is better). Increased lymphocytes - while not specific to Celiac Disease is in fact Stage 2 on the Marsh Scale for Celiac diagnosis! The tests are not perfect and even when several samples are taken it is HIGHLY possible to miss early damage to the villi. Symptoms...
  23. Ummm - I am allergic to heat but not why I am posting - I got my first insanely itchy session that lasted several weeks just prior to my celiac diagnosis. I had two more before dx and have only had one such occurance since I removed gluten almost four years ago. And I live in southern California - our "winter" isn't much different than the rest of the...
  24. I'm intolerant of peas, but second mushroom's logic
  25. Each can be irritating - yet the Dhubbys generally have several possitive attributes -- while DH has no redeeming qualities
