  1. **Raises Hand** I'm new, so I can't tell you how long it takes to work out, but boy-o. I used to treat it with a batch of brownies. . .but that's been nixed. Dernit. I DO know that I have PTSD and the symptoms were getting just way out of control severe with that - so much so that I saught proffessional help. It's NEVER been THIS bad before. ...
  2. Oh, one more thing: I so agree that it takes FOR-EV-AR to shop now. I started reading the labels from the bottom up. . .I get to the bad stuff a lot quicker that way. **wink**
  3. Ah, Anja ((((((hugs you))))) I'm so sorry for what you've been through with this thing. Even if you hadn't been diagnosed with Cialic, depression is a serious issue that's so often misunderstood. It's a shame he didn't join you in the hunt for answers - some are better at being empathtic than others, and some have to go through some things themselves before...
  4. THANKS, Roda!! Huge help!
  5. It's odd that the blood test would be inconclusive, yet he would insist. Perhaps ask him to do an upper endoscopy? Are you seeing a GI or a GP? I've been misdiagnosed so many times that I insist going in - before ANYTHING is done that ALL rule out testing will be completed before a diagnosis, or I'm not buying it. My GI doc, now, said he completely understood...
  6. Yikes!! Thank you for the difference!! I've been in anaphylaxis many many times in my life. . .so no fun.
  7. **laughing** I just told my husband. . .his quote was, "What fun." So much for spontainity, huh?
  8. I did a search here to see if I could find anything on this subject, but I didn't find anything, please forgive if this has previously been asked. My husband and I were discussing how to convert our kitchen to gluten free or make it usuable for us both. He is willing to go gluten free with me in order to facilitate the change over. . .but the foods...
  9. Peroxide wont work. Peroxide is what they use to bleach flour to make it white flour. It doesn't effect the gluten. dernit.
  10. I think this has been an issue with me since I was a child, just very misdiagnosed millions of times. I'm 46. I'm in the process of diagnosis, now. They thought I had a bleeding ulcer in the duodenum - but when they did the upper endescopy and biopsy, the biopsy came out positive, and there was no ulcer there. I'm now waiting on the blood...
  11. I've had purple potatoes, but never purple rice . . .and my husband and I try all different types of rice, the sound of this sounds delicious. Thank you for the extra leg work in finding out what that 'glutinous' word actually meant!
  12. Thank you, RiceGuy! This brought up a discussion between my husband and I last night - he eats a sandwhich . . .and then kisses me? **rolls eyes** I just can't do anything simple. . . **laughing** I appreciate your response. . .things are a little clearer now.
  13. I've been thinking about converting my kitchen into a gluten-free kitchen - especially after yesterday **rolls eyes** - running to the bathroom all morning when I'd MUCH rather be at church is not my idea of how to spend a Sunday morning. Nope. **shakes head** I had an apple for dinner last night. I need to lose 50 lbs (now 43) from last year's misdiagnosis...
  14. Hi, Everyone, I have read in a few places here that topical Gluten can't set off the symptoms - I've also read in a few place that shampoo, conditioner, etc might want to be checked as it can get into your mouth while showering. I have allergies to metals and have to be very careful about what kind of jewelry I wear (I usually don't wear jewelry...
  15. I went to my neighbor's house this morning to gab a bit before we went to the flea market. I was offered a cup of coffee, and politely turned it down. It was flavored coffee - and I just really didn't want to go into their kitchen and study the ingredients. I drank a glass of water and enjoyed the conversation. Then we went to the flea market. I'm...
  16. Good morning, Ravenwoodglass! Yes, I think I'll stay on the diet despite any test results. It's just such an obvious difference! Both my husband and I are so relieved! I read your signiture - wow, that sounds soooo much like me!! I've had intestinal 'issues' all my life - doc's have always patted me on the head, said I'm just nervous and sent me...
  17. Hi, I'm new here - and this week has been more than a relief in so many ways! I was seen for a bleeding ulcer a month ago - had the CT scan, it was negative. Then I had the upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy last week - then wow, pain sent me back to the doc trying to figure out what went wrong. The gastro doc said that my colon was fine, but the...
  18. Hi, TearzaRose, I'm just a few days diagnosed, and wow. . . I belong to an orthodox Christian faith tradition where communion is very formal and there are a LOT of people who take communion. I did a search, and found your post - thank you for posting!! (You get my first post!!) I suppose I'll call my pastor and ask him how he would like to handle it -...
