ARCHIVED All That Flour Around...my Husband Made Bread..:(
calico jo replied to Diva1's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Did you add anything to the turkey supper? Butter? maybe it had been used for the bread? (double dipped?). Did you touch any knobs on drawers, then touched what you ate? Think of sponges used for washing dishes, ANYthing like that. I never used to think of those things until I had ruled everything out and it dawned on me. It could be that you "inhaled... -
ARCHIVED Great Homemade Snacks
calico jo replied to travelthomas's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I bought a food dehydrator after neighbors offered for me to pick figs from their trees this year. I dried a bunch of figs...BUT, what I REALLY like is slicing bananas into about 1/2 inch slices (rounds), sprinkle cinamon on them and then dehydrate them. YUMMM. And I don't even like bananas. I put baggies of them in the freezer and they get super crunchy... -

ARCHIVED Stomach Ache After Glutened
calico jo replied to dan-edward's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I realize this is a month after your post...you ate REGULAR cake? If you have gluten intolerance/celiac then you can't do that! When I first went gluten free-YEARS ago and got into something accidently, even a crumb, I was sick for months, literally. Find gluten free alternatives and stick to it. Every time you expose yourself to gluten, if you truly... -
That's funny! Sometimes I'm glad that my little girl is as active as she is, on occasion when I've forgotten to turn on my alarm she never fails to wake me up! I have owned/operated a professional pet care service since 1998 and get lots of stories from clients. One client with two kitties, boy and girl littermates, had to take the knobs off of her...

ARCHIVED Gluten And Soy Free Lotions, Shampoos, Cosmetics, Etc.
calico jo replied to kayo's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
This just made me pull out all of my products and take a look at them. Fortunately I DON'T have the soy issue because I love Burt's Bees lip glosses and lotions. My shampoo has soy, but my conditionaer does not. I use "Organix" Shea Butter conditioner. The longer you leave it in, the softer it makes your hair. (I find it at my local drug store) I also... -

I thought this was SOO funny. My one kitty is like this!

On Novartis' site it lists adjuvented vaccine for Germany (2 other countries , too, looked at it last night and am not recalling right now) but stated "MF59" which I believe IS squalene.

I am not a medical professional, nor have a science background. I read articles by those WITH those credentials and rely on their interpretations based on them having done the research. An article: Startling New Evidence That The 'Swine, Flu' Pandemic Is Man-Made Novartis Patent Detailed And Mass Murder Charged By A. True Ott, PhD, ND 7-26-9 indicates...

Actually YES US Patent #20090047353-A1, Novartis applied for Nov. 6, 2006. Open Original Shared Link It stops being a "theory" when proof starts to pile up.

Great posts, Thomas. The patent for the swine flu vax was obtained a couple of years before we even heard about it!

ARCHIVED Summary Of Restaurants In Denver, Co
calico jo replied to CalicoSue's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I just came back from a trip to Denver CO and was excited to see how many restaurants there are gluten free friendly. We had lunch at Beau Jo's and I was so happy to have a pizza made for me, insteady of BY me and they also had my favorite Green's Beer!! I wish they had a Beau Jo's here in NC. Denver is beautiful!! We also went to Manitou Springs to go... -
Have you read that somewhere or seen it on a news program? I'm just wondering what your source is. According to everything that I've read there is SOME kind of adjuvant added, that's what preserves it. It may not be squalene or thimerosal, but some other ingredient.

ARCHIVED Feeling Dehydrated
calico jo replied to twe0708's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
8 glasses may not be enough for you. Are you on any medications? Check how much sodium is in your diet, too. Do you engage in labor activities during the day? As a rule of thumb, you should take your weight, divide it in half, and drink the same amount in oz. each day. Start your day by drinking 2 full glasses (12 oz glasses) before you have anything... -
ARCHIVED Pet Peeve Regarding The Slaying Of The English Language.
calico jo replied to Imanistj's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
OHHHH..this is right up my alley. Being from the Northeast, having moved south was quite an adjustment. One syllable words are two, and vice versa. (that's one right there people saying visA versa...VICE versa) or Real A tor, instead of REAL tor. At a job I had for the longest time I thought a man at work's name was DEEK. It was actually Dick. And FayETville... -
No way, no how am I getting the jab! This vaccine was approved by WAIVER because of the "emergency" status of this bogus pandemic. It has many harmful adjuvents including possibly squalene which was linked to the gulf war syndrome from the antrhax vax that also had squalene. It has mercury, formeldahide and aluminum. You may seem fine after getting it...

ARCHIVED Make-up
calico jo replied to Rebecca47's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I get a RASH from topical wheat products. Since developing gluten intolerance, and having a friend DX with advanced cancer, I've gone almost 100% organic. Finding organic hair products w/no wheat germ oil is very difficult. I use Physicians Formula products for makeup. The foundation and mineral powder are great. -
ARCHIVED The Supplements I Was Talking Before Getting Sick
calico jo replied to Nadia2009's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Go get yourself a book regarding what amounts of supplements/vitamins, etc you should be taking and for what. I suggest "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by Phyllis A. Balch, CNC. I refer to it all the time. Regarding the wheat grass, etc. I was shocked to see a powder mix (can't recall what brand) that stated "gluten free" on the front then listed... -
ARCHIVED Whole Foods "365" Nut Products
calico jo replied to calico jo's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not sure about their nut butters. I'd double check the label if I were you, especially if the label has changed recently. -
ARCHIVED Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Bread And All-purpose Flour
calico jo replied to coriforia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been gluten free by necessity for quite a few years now and have JUST "discovered" the Bob's gluten free bread mixes. I LOVE them and don't have any issues with them. However, I will say that when I first started going gluten free I had some very strange reactions to a lot of different foods. I think the body is adjusting, maybe "detoxing" and just... -
ARCHIVED Whole Foods "365" Nut Products
calico jo posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I apologize if this has alredy been discussed. It's been a VERY long time since I've been on the forum and I only have a couple of minutes right now so did not do a search to see if this has been a topic. To those in the US that have relied on Whole Foods "365" walnuts, almonds, etc. you may have noticed a new packaging. The old packaging made no mention... -
ARCHIVED The Little Stickers They Put On Fruit
calico jo replied to Wandering Hermit's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
with me I seem to be a tiny bit tolerant, but it seems to be cumulative also. I'm not sure within how much time, or how much is my limit, but if I had several "one little bits" that on their own wouldn't cause me a problem, they could add up to make me sick. I accidently ingested a crumb from a piece of cereal one day and within 1/2 hour I was vomitting... -
ARCHIVED Do You Call Companies To Ask About Ingredients?
calico jo replied to mytummyhurts's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've called so many companies I can't even remember how many now. Once I got it established that a company would not hide a gluten containing ingredient in their labeling, I stopped calling that particular company. Most are very helpful, but sometimes not very knowledgeable. The only negative experience I had was with Land O Lakes. They said they couldn...
