The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
GottaSki replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
My pool is my lifeline! Seriously, whether exercising in it or simply floating under an umbrella when the thermometer climbs (yes, I feel like Frosty the Snowman locked in the greenhouse). Our salt water generator cut out while Hubs and I were traveling so we returned to pond scum green pool...thankfully last week Hubs helped me drain and re-fill -- it... -

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
GottaSki replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
The young men loved the Tot Casserole -- they ended up making it because I was pooped. They doubled so there was a nice amount of left overs to freeze in foil packs -- to go off to work with them. Thanks Ruth! Tonight Dad is back at our Sunday Dinner Table - Yay? Anyway...there is always dessert when my folks come to dinner...so I just started this... -
ARCHIVED On The Way To A Diagnosis
GottaSki replied to Ace2011's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had to push my insurance to allow them together and the our copayment was based on both individual procedures...no credit was given for time and materials saved doing it at the same time.....but at least it saved me an extra sedation...I don't do well with sedation -
ARCHIVED Dealing With Parties At Your House
GottaSki replied to veryami1's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I provide tons of food for all and tell folks to only bring what they want to drink. There is always one that has to have some special glutenous dish...hubs intercepts and puts the special dishes on display on my patio coffee tables...we are in California so the patio is always open -
John is our hero....he made us laugh our asses off -- we like to laugh in this family. Then he passed...kid said, "I guess he decided gluten-free was too hard"...smart kids I have and hard loss for the inflamed. And...yes...the itchies...omg there is gluten everywhere will pass. Wash well before you eat and all is fine now...back to the regularly...

ARCHIVED I Had A Dexa Scan Today. I Am In Limbo On The Results
GottaSki replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
my first tech didn't tell me...probably didn't want to say osteoporosis to a 44 year old woman good news is the follow ups were much improved...last one I was only borderline osteopenia/normal -- that was at 4 years gluten-free eat right and regular weight baring exercise replaces those nasty weak bones! oh and good calcium/d vitamins -

ARCHIVED How Do You Emotionally Deal With Setbacks?
GottaSki replied to icelandgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You are more than welcome...I am the queen of making a couple foods into many different dishes. As I lost so many foods back in 2011...I was having regular hissy fits...hubs said something brilliant: "Stop thinking of food as food...start thinking of food as your medicine." Simple really, but allowed me to accept there were things I could not... -
ARCHIVED How Do You Emotionally Deal With Setbacks?
GottaSki replied to icelandgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Great news...certainly do not stop the proBs if you are improving....they are very important as long as they are tolerated. -
ARCHIVED How Do You Emotionally Deal With Setbacks?
GottaSki replied to icelandgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That is a lot for a body to recover from....it's only been three months and it all happened during a time your body had not yet recovered from Celiac Disease. Are you still on probiotics? Many recovering Celiacs use them...I did for my first year or more....but eventually had to stop as I was not tolerating any supplements. Perhaps take a break from them... -

ARCHIVED Heard It On The Radio, So It Must Be True!
GottaSki replied to Georgia-guy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yep, I had read this or something similar a while back. I think the data may have been more accurate if they started with 3000 folks diagnosed with an AI then polled for right/left handed. Starting with nearly 10% of the peeps confirmed lefties seems to be higher than percentage of left handed folks found in population...yet I haven't researched that... -
ARCHIVED Help: I Need Vegetable Substitutes And Seed/nut Subs.
GottaSki replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Finally saw this. I don't know if I can add anything to this discussion. I can eat all veggies with the exception of those from the nightshade family. How long have you been at the try to figure out what is bothering me besides gluten game -- not making light, took me two years before finally doing a full elimination experiment. -

GottaSki replied to Georgia-guy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
lol...I remember this one making it way through here a long time ago I'll go see if I can find the thread. The six in my family with AI issues are all righties -- there are two lefties on my husband's side...no apparent AIs there.
