ARCHIVED 18M Old - With Genetics Against Her
GottaSki replied to Aprilelayne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You have every right to be cranky. Unfortunately - many of us have had many experiences just like this with our doctors....even more unfortunate is even the top doctors in their specialties do not often look at the entire patient - they treat symptoms not the whole body. IMO - the worst sentence uttered by nearly every doctor I met with for several decades... -
ARCHIVED What Do You Do At A Wedding?
GottaSki replied to Ciel121's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Had to laugh - not at anyone - but I live in California and we have the same issues with eating safely as every other celiac on this planet. Sure there are pockets of our state that do better than other parts of the state - but I think this is the same everywhere - I've had wonderful experiences in NY state and Illinois - I've found rural areas superior... -

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
GottaSki replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Welcome Ryan!!! Take a read through this thread -- and the "what's for Breakfast" and "what's for Lunch" threads -- oodles of great ideas within these pages. Also, make sure you read the "Newbie 101" thread -- it gives a huge "fast-forward" on making the transition to gluten-free! Hang in there and come on back and let us know what you had for dinner -

Forgot to defrost meat before I left the house today -- sooooo -- breakfast for dinner -- waffles, bacon, eggs, etc for the men and I'll punt. Oh I did make lemon "brownies" -- now I know these as lemon bars -- but saw a new recipe in the funny pages that called them lemon brownies -- so it caught my eye...they look and smell yummy -- just made lemon... -
Hello! So your son is 6? Does he attend school? -- Are they careful in the classroom and at the lunch table? Does he visit friends or family regularly? -- again - how careful? How many gluten eaters are in your home? Does everyone wash their hands after handing gluten items? Something is keeping the antibodies producing -- you need...

ARCHIVED Happy Spring, Fellow Gardeners!
GottaSki replied to notme's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
My Mom overcooked everything - when I left home at 18 and taught myself to cook - I was amazed that everything tasted good! Still love fresh peas off the vine - sure hope I get them back this year. My "garden" will be growing heirloom peas and tomatoes for trialing - can't wait -
Listen to Bunnie...if and be sure you accidentally ingested gluten - add charcoal and rest along with drinking lots of water - eating what you are able - more water and rest until it passes.

I would go with glutino pretzels dipped generously in Nutella. Jerky is better...yet sadly not as fun. -
ARCHIVED Happy Spring, Fellow Gardeners!

I was actually being a bad girl....you had to know Nana - my Sis - yep the same one that I sneak cauliflower into her Mac and Cheez was looking at me like I was alien while downing fresh peas and grn beans - she may have been right - I am an odd duck. -
ARCHIVED How Long Before I Feel Relief?
GottaSki replied to Night-Owl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
There is no way to give you an "I feel better" date. We are all different, diagnosed at different stages and with different levels of damage. Here is what you can count on: Strict removal of gluten - including removing any possible cross-contamination - will bring / restore health. Hang in there - read as much as you can -

ARCHIVED Gluten On Dishes? Being Too Careful?
GottaSki replied to Laura.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ditto...super duper sensitive for three of six in our family -- four years and have yet to have a problem with our dishes -- except for early days when our German exchange student refused to understand why he had to use a certain pot for "his" pasta and that wasn't a dishwashing issue -- it was a laziness issue on his part!!! -
ARCHIVED I Believe This Guy... Gluten Free May Not Be Enough
GottaSki replied to quirozson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Agreed. My apologies if my post was unclear: I firmly believe a newly diagnosed celiac needs to ONLY remove gluten for the first six months -- perhaps dairy IF they note a problem with it.
