    Just my 2 cents, but I still can't understand why other people in our lives are so concerned with what we eat or don't eat. Is is really that big of a deal? Our body, our choice. Unless someone is eating glass or things that aren't food, it's really no ones business but our own. That just frustrates me to no end. I am frustrated with your husband's treatment...

    I also, after being Gluten Free for 6 months, developed GB Disease (maybe I had it all along, just couldn't tell, because I was always in pain). Anyhow it was working at 13%, I was told that eventually a failing GB will become toxic, overtime as it "dies", then it has to come out. According to my doc there is no alternative healing for it, in a phase...

    I am thinking you need a new doctor. Any chance of that? I am not sure how that stuff works in Canada.

    I have attended many Ren Faires and truthfully I don't eat there. Everything is questionable and even the turkey leg guy at in my area refuses to answer the "gluten question" on his food. So I pack a bar, apple and get bottled water. Oh, and I eat before I go. Have fun!

    Never heard of that, do you have a reference for that? I always had a reaction to regular medical tape (rash, itchy, swelling) but not to paper tape or to stitches (that I know of). Thanks

    Maybe it's me, but I would really wonder if that cake was gluten free. If your boss meant well, great. But I have ran into way too many people that think it's all in your head, so they try to feed you gluten, just to see if you really do get sick from it. Almost like suddenly if we eat gluten we turn into the one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater...

    I agree with you. We have been feed so many inaccuracies about food from the FDA. But each person has to decide for themselves if they believe it or not. The issue with sugar I have heard before. Another issue is protein powders that are processed can have added sugars or sugar substitutes, which again, I believe aspartame and the like are harmful...

    Sorry if my dangerous comment is bothersome. But Soy even if your not allergic to it or have a problem with it in the digestion sense..it is still a dangerous product that people really should do the research before consuming it. It is the number one GMO'd resource on the planet and it has been linked to many medical problems. (Open Original Shared...

    Personally, I like Jay Robb's Egg Protein Powder. The Whey for many of us is hard to digest because of lactose or casien issues. If your not an egg person or you can't eat, another one that is really awesome is Pea Protein (it's gluten free, vegan and soy free) it has a lite vanilla taste so you can mix with fruit or PB or whatever you like. I like...

    Just to touch on what you said here, every auto-immune disease attacks something. For Celiac folks its gut because of gluten ingestion, for Hashimoto's disease suffers the immune system is attacking the Thyriod, for RA it's the joints, for Lupus (depending on what kind) attacks systematically or can attack different areas in the body and etc. There are several...

    Doughy pizza. I hate thin cracker like crust that seems to be the norm for gluten free pizza in a restaurant. Everything else I can deal with..there are just those days where I wish I could order a pizza. Ya know.
  12. Salax
    I agree. I would cancel the booking, find another venue. And in that instance. Don't ask, just bring. If they say anything tell them why. What can they do, throw you in a time out? It's better to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission. I think that applies here. Good luck and try not to worry about it.

    I want to slap this guy. I know, I know. Bad, but I do. Seriously, lets give peanuts to someone with a peanut allergy, all in their head right? Peanuts have been around for thousands of years...Dude, that isn't a valid arguement. Cancer has been around for thousands of years, doesn't mean it's good for you. Wow, people like this guy make me afraid to eat...

    Sweet, Welcome Wife and Hubby! This is the best place to be for knowledge and for support. I know it's kind of cleche but with time the gluten free lifestyle does get easier and it's really not so bad..it could always be worse. Besides, I think it's so awesome that we can heal ourselves naturally without drugs. Just change the diet and feel better....

    ARCHIVED Bj's Pizza Ok?

    Salax replied to Kelly&Mom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I agree though that the sauce on the pizza is too sweet. I asked if their original sauce was safe, but they were unsure. Maybe a "white sauce" pizza is available. I will have to check it out.

    ARCHIVED Dr Said Not To Eliminate Gluten

    Salax replied to kayc's topic in Doctors

    My doc told me the same thing (go gluten free lite) because one of the antibodies was positive and the other negative and the third was out of range. I basically told him you need to read on the subject, because there is no gluten free lite diet for a positive blood test. Luckly people on this forum backed up my claim. I'm sorry but I think doctors...

    Thought about it, but when I get glutened I have no desire to eat anything for the duration of sickness. So I guess that's a good thing, not really tempted.

    LOL meaning you people talking about chocolate are bad. Not the chocolate itself. Although there are better chocolates in the world, this chocolate I got from Russia for example was AWESOME. But the the generic stuff is ok too. Chocolate in itself is a food group, so it's all good. Hehe.
  19. Salax
    This topic alone is making me drool. Bad chocolate people, bad..LOL

    The glass through your gut concept is brillant. I feel like that plus the dizziness, vomiting, headache, and D. A tummy ache is one thing. A glutened tummy ache is a whole other ball of icky. It does feel like some one is slicing you up from the inside. Hope that helps. Sorry your little one is going through this, I can't imagine.

    Just my 2 cents...I am not that sensitive and I reacted to Rice Dream. It was mild, but still a gluten type reaction. I vote Almond milk if your not allergic.
  22. Salax
    Yes, it has gotten better. And shorter, use to have heavy 7 to 9 day periods. Now only 5 days total with only 2 heavy days. So it's been awesome that way. Stillg get severe cramps though and my usual migraine.
  23. Salax
    I agree with the others. Take care of YOU. Family is family. They'll either get over it or they won't, but its on them how they deal with it. They can either be loving or not. How they feel and what they do are not your issues; those are theirs. You need to heal right now, maybe you need to take a break from them and focus on you.

    I am a fan of the Paleo diet. I feel so much better with out all the junk.
  25. Salax
    Milk is ok for me in small quanities (thank goodness for that, I missed cheese an milk for so long!) or I can use almond milk if it would work. So, yes...I would like the recipe. Thank you!!
