ARCHIVED Cider - Does It Effect You?
conniebky replied to Woodstone's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is going to sound crazy coming from Kentucky, but what exactly is cider that you buy at a store? -
ARCHIVED Alcoholic Beverages

Don't drink regular beer. EVER! trust me -
So I talked with my manager last month about the amount of time I've missed since February when I left there in an ambluance and there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. I told my manager that I never miss work, and that I didn't call in sick one day last year. My manager told me 'oh don't worry about this, you're fine, and you're such a good empoloyee...

ARCHIVED Well - I Did It
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I didn't know that's what is the difference between white and brown rice. I like the brown rice better, ti has more flavor. I didn't Karen, I tried to all day, but the very thought of it...... I couldn't. But, as Scarlet O'Hara says, "tomorrow is a new day"....I will try again tomorrow. I need napkins and Tide, but I just couldn't get up the nerve... -
I have 3 favorite days out of a year. Derby Day That first crisp day of Fall Thanksgiving I've been dreading Thanksgiving this year, but after all you all have helped me with on here, I think the only problem will but the corn puddin and the stuffing. I can dry out gluten-free bread the same as I used to regular bread, right? And it probably won...

I did my weekend cooking like you all said. I made a huge thing of chicken n rice soup with Brown rice. Now, I have a question about brown rice. I like those boil in bags, but Uncle Ben's said whole grain rice instead of brown rice. Whole grain - I don't even like the sound of that, so I got the store brand brown rice. What does that mean - whole...

ARCHIVED Explain This To Me Like I'm 2 Years Old
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I did actually have one doctor get angry with me about my double vision...he got angry because he thought I was being a smart mouth about having all those tests with negative results. He said (this is when I didn't have insurance and he was a med student at the free place I went to) he said, "only a brain dysfunction can cause this. I am writing in our... -
ARCHIVED Visually Most Repulsive Gluteny Food
conniebky replied to mushroom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I know that commerical you're talking about! I don't know why America is so obsessed with dieting. I infuriates me, and I'm not a bit fat. I think every person is supposed to be a certain size. Like Oprah, she's happier and healthier being the size she is, and I don't think she's "fat" at all. Her head looked too big for her body when she lost all that... -
ARCHIVED Visually Most Repulsive Gluteny Food
conniebky replied to mushroom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
This morning Guy Ferredi (?) the cooking guy that wears his sunglasses on the back of his head, was making a pie crust and when he opened the floor, it flew up in his face and he goes, "everytime!" then he spread flour all over the table and rubbed it on the rolling pin. I had to change the channel. The IHOP commercials, too, that food just doesn't... -
ARCHIVED Explain This To Me Like I'm 2 Years Old
conniebky posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Celiac Disease is when your fili (sp?) flatten out, right? If you are gluten intolerant or allergic to gluten and don't realize it, and keep eating gluten, you will eventually end up with Celiac. Is that correct? -
ARCHIVED Noob Here-Introducing Myself
conniebky replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Tiff! Nice to meet ya! One word of advice - don't start feeling better and get lost in the "I feel fine, it wasn't gluten" thing, cuz that's what I did, so save yourself the heartache! -
ARCHIVED What Is Going On When Your Stomach Bloats?
conniebky replied to srfjeld's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
All I know is that I wake up every morning with a flat tummy and get in bed every night looking like I'm 4 months pregnant. I don't know either what causes it. As soon as I come in from work, I take off my jeans that fit me that morning and put on my comfy britches. It can't be from ingesting gluten throughout the day - who has an answer?? -
ARCHIVED I Need Some Help With This One Y'all
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Wow that is bizzare! I thought at one point that I'd feel better if I could put on my sunglasses. There's a Wally World (wal mart) by us that I went in three years ago at Christmas and I've never been back. It's big, warehouse, all high lighting, I can't take that place. If someone asks me why I have on sunglasses I'll tell them cuz I have pink eye... -
ARCHIVED I Need Some Help With This One Y'all
conniebky posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Since I've been gluten-free, except for my two slip ups, I've been feeling so much better. I've felt like going out, etc. This morning I went to the Peddlers Mall, saw some people I know (impossible not to in a small town), I LOVE going to vintage shops, Goodwill, thrift stores...anyway, after two aisles, I broke out into a sweat, panicked, sweating... -
The one I tolerate is 8 O'Clock if I grind the beans at the grocery myself. Flavored coffees don't set well with me.

Oh hell no! that would be like putting me and kareng together. NOT a good idea! -
That just cracks me up - no Red Lobster in Maine which is famous for lobsters! That just struck me funny! Sure enough, I got there, asked for Debra, she came right over, even asked me if I have a problem with xanthan (sp?) gum! She was ON TARGET! I had a delicious supper with crab legs and three different kinds of shrimp, salad, no croutons, and I...

Thanks for the info! I just gave you positive feedback LOL !

I asked them about that. They said it's kind of like Subway, all the meats, cheeses and condiments and veggies are in separate little containers, so none of it gets near the bread until they put it there, which, in the case of lettuce wraps, they don't. Funny, I never liked Jimmy Johns, I thought that sandwiches were boring. But that lettuce wrap - YUM...
-
Ten of my family are going to Red Lobster tonight. I just called and asked if we need to make a reservation she said no. I said, and I quote, "I can't have any wheat, flour..." She cut me off and said "I'm the manager, my name is Debra, my daddy has Celiac, dont worry about a thing, tell your waitress to come and get me, I'll tell the staff to...

I have wondered this same thing. Last time I looked, mine said, "neutral". Kind of made me feel..........neutral! LOL ! what does it mean? Where does it come from?
-
Hey everyone! I just had a VERY delicious sandwich from Jimmy Johns. I don't know if you all have those. They'll make any of their sandwiches on a lettuce wrap. I just had a roast beef one and it was so so so good. ... I'm just sayin.........
