    DD - Sent you a PM. David

    I know it's been used with some success in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis). Have you seen this: Open Original Shared Link

    Even in places like Sydney? Where'd I put that Frequent Flier number...

    Thanks Mskedi! David

    Mskedi - Thanks for the reply. I don't doubt you're right, but looking through all the bottles with so many of them being non-English was a bit daunting. Can you recommend a specific brand? Maybe a nice LINK to the manufacturer's site with a picture of the bottle? Seriously that last part would be great! David.

    Seattle has a huge number of Asians and not far from my house is an Asian market the size of your average QFC/Ralph's/Krogers. They must have 400 different bottles of soy sauce, but no San J. So I get it at Safeway

    That's doesn't mean the gluten is getting INTO the meat in an intact form as a result of the animals having eaten it. Animal protein (e.g., that found in muscle) and the plant protein they eat (e.g., the compound gluten, which is made up of the proteins gliadin and glutenin) are entirely different. Animals break down plant matter in digestion to extract...

    As long as people have been sick, there have been frauds, quacks, and charlatans eager to prey upon their misery. Of course, what this great market for rubbish speaks to most is the huge population of sufferers who "traditional medicine" has failed. Who would be spending time and money going from homeopath, to naturopath, to chiropractor, to acupuncturist...

    Not sure where it was, but I recently read someone saying their chiropractor was claiming they could cure this person of Celiac. The nonsense people will believe.

    I'm pretty proficient with computers, no, I pasted the correct URL & it was changed back to the one for this thread. Don't know why. I'm glad to hear there was no censorship
  11. David in Seattle
    That link is simply to this thread. I tried reposting, got the same result. I suspect some moderator editing is going on here, perhaps because the link is to a "competing" site. How nice. Here's the text of the page: I received the following from someone who I really respect in the gluten free community. Jules is completely dedicated to making this...

    Julie - How old is your daughter? I don't have children, so this will probably sound terribly naive, but when my brother & I were growing up, we always ate salad with dinner, because that's what was put in front of us, and also never drank pop, or ate junk food, simply because it wasn't in the house. Maybe if she had no other dinner time options, she...

    I think I understand how you feel. In my case, I'm still looking for a firm diagnosis, but if it's Celiac, FMS, IBD, or some combination, there is no question I have lost much of the joy of living for what should have been the most functional 30 some years of my existence because of ill health. It seems so unfair ("Life isn't fair", yeah, I know), everywhere...

    A number of medications can cause nightmares. One of the most common is Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and it shares this effect with other antihistamine based, over the counter sleep aids. Here's a link to a list of other drugs with this propensity Open Original Shared Link You may want to look it over & see if you are taking any of the medications mentioned...

    I've had FMS since I was in my early 20's, the gut thing only started about 15 months ago. I'm trying gluten free, though I haven't been "officially" diagnosed. I thought the fibro was bad (and it is)? This is worse, at least in my case. I wonder if that's also your experience? I'm hoping MAYBE the whole thing is gluten, so far, it's not clear. Anyway...
  16. David in Seattle
    Fibro AND gluten. Oh boy, can I relate. Good luck, Beth.

    Never say never, but it would be hard for me to imagine them ever questioning the word of a citizen's physician. Suppose they did and forced you onto the jury, and something terrible happened. The repercussions could be severe. No single selected individual is indispensable. It's a big deal to the potential juror, but they have a whole pool to select...

    I haven't read all the replies line by line so forgive me if someone has mentioned this already. I was called for jury duty about 9 months ago. I simply asked my GI doc to write me a letter explaining why it would be a hardship for me to serve, which he promptly did. I sent this in with the reply form I received with the jury summons & was released...

    I was in a grocery store the other day, a bit like a locally owned, slightly down-market Whole Foods, and I was looking for some chicken breasts they had on sale (What else? The BAGUETTES, maybe?!?). Couldn't find them. So I asked the kid stocking freeze dried Haricot Verts (hey, I said it was boutique-y) over on Aisle 5 where they might be. Without looking...

    How old is your cousin? At 1st I thought you were talking about a teenager, but further on in your message she sounds more middle aged. Humans never cease to amaze me, and more often than not in a negative way. It is SO hard to get people to change behavior, even when it is blatantly obvious how necessary that change is. Look at how many people continue...

    This may be an indelicate clarification, but, ahem. Condoms have been known to be inserted into openings other than the mouth or vagina. And perhaps that 3rd possibility could be a particular issue. It does seem like a call to the manufacturer may be in order.

    I checked it out at the library and have skimmed through it, though I can't say I've read it cover to cover. It is an interesting book. Thanks for the suggestion & encouragement. David

    A woman of taste and TRUE INSIGHT! Thank you for your kind words, it's nice (and so rare... ) to be so fully appreciated in one's own lifetime! Seriously, I needed to hear that right now, thank you. If you liked this post, you should read my material on snacking I save all my REALLY deep thinking for the important aspects of life, like junk...

    No, no, no!!!! I meant BEFORE that!!! Thanks for the supportive thoughts, Jestgar. I appreciate it very much.
  25. David in Seattle
    Thanks for the replies and Patti, glad you appreciate my sense of humor I'll look for the Stax. Are they whole sliced potatoes? From the name, they sound a bit like "Pringles", which I never really cared for much. Worth a try, though. Unfortunately, my gut issue is not yet fully diagnosed, and it could be IBD/Crohns (YEEESH) so I'm ALSO staying...
