    what is your deal.
  2. notme
    oh, yeah, and if you drink alcohol, be aware that your tolerance may change. i am more of a 'cheap date' now, lolz, and if i drink chardonnay, i better have bail $$$

    one day at a time - if you look too hard at the big picture you will go bonkers! do some reading on here, hit the cooking forum (they have some handy lunch-to-go ideas on there just search it) and take care of you. it's a big change, treat it as such you'll be ok - you're in a good place to get advice, hugs, and just vent. this is the place where baby...

    yay, us!! so true about the guest list LOLZ that's ok. in the words of jason ross: sooner or later, it's over your shoulder here's another: time is all the luck you need happy 3+ years, cap6!

    i buy a giant bar of 'kiss my face' soap and chop it into little bars that i keep in my travel case, and smaller ones to keep in my purse in a baggie. if they're really little, i just throw it away on my way out of the restroom.

    yeah, it was kind of a shocker to me too! i would expect you will go through grieving, too - that was a surprise, too. it *is* a big life change (the bell you can't un-ring, so to speak.... ) so, it's normal to mourn your 'old' lifestyle/to miss your comfort foods/to get used to the *never* word.... but, as you go along, and merge your 'old' life with...

    yes, ma'am, i sure did - you sound like you are going through withdrawal. the good news is: you must be doing a good job of keeping yourself gluten-free, so your body is 'missing' it. for me, it felt like the flu. it knocked me on my butt (right into the bed lolz) for a couple of weeks but then it went away. i started feeling a little better each day...

    thank you! sounds YUMZ and really easy i just picked up chicken (bogo sale) yesterday, so i will have to pull some out of the freezer - perfect timing
  9. notme
    which recipe - i just googlied that (sounds delicious!) and a whole bunch of different ones came up did you get it off the interwebs?
  10. notme
    right??!! and you would think the opposite. now, sideways opposite is 'men without hats' <and that is the name of an 80's band, so...... anyways, drooling over apples now. it sucks because: I HAS APPLES. but i'm already in not cooking mode i had dinner with the lions club tonight - i think i'm gonna sign up (but not eat their dinners! ...

    rosemary is gluten-free. i have eaten jennie-o products (usually ground turkey) with no adverse effects. i'm arlene and i'm a celiac. no problem with ground turkey or rosemary sorry it's off limits for you i guess you must have an allergy to rosemary i am assuming. but rosemary is an herb and is gluten-free so safe to eat for celiac.com turkey is...
  12. notme
    have you been on the cooking & baking forum - lots of ideas and recipes there. if you have any sort of 'comfort food' you would like to make gluten free, they can help with substitutions and whatnot
  13. notme
    Open Original Shared Link doesn't question 14 cover your issue?
  14. notme
    lolz - shadow! i just came back to add: i had to go trash-diving last week over something or other i couldn't remember if i checked the label (it was ok! lolz) my daughter thinks it's hilarious, because i would NEVER get anything out of the trash. if it went in, it was like the black hole of goodbyeness. now, i am going in elbow-deep from time...
  15. notme
    have you read this: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ plenty of good info on how to keep safe in the gluteny world i am 3 years+ gluten free celiac and YES it does get easier - almost second nature. there are still a few scenarios where i feel "deprived" and boohoo me nobody cares if *i* eat or die! but they are...
  16. notme
    i thank God every day i am in a position that i don't have to work. i am still not up to my goal weight and the first thing that takes a backseat, when i am working, is eating. and i am a freight broker, so it's mega-stressful and super busy. but, our kids are grown and our bills are not as steep as they used to be raising 4 kids, so, it's manageable...
  17. notme
    barty, when i get 'soyed' i get an extra pain in the neck (my husband shows up lolz just kidding!) so, yeah, maybe inflammation from allergy/intolerance? i imagine everything swells up and pinches nerves (or that's what it feels like)
  18. notme
    absolutely celiac & diabetes walk hand-in-hand. my son has type 1 diabetes and i have celiac. so far, i haven't developed the 'betes' yet (and i am expecting it... ....) but i am almost certain he would test positive for celiac (he denies it) . i'm sure all the bloodwork the op has had done will probably include a glucose test - surely someone would...
  19. notme
    lolz - right, i was like: what?! also, i meant to add: nerve damage is the last to heal. if you have gone a long time with untreated celiac, chances are your body has alot of damage that needs to heal and the more your gut heals, the more vitamins and minerals you will absorb to 'correct' different damage. i was/am still amazed at how far i have...
  20. notme
    if you were eating out alot, you were probably getting cross contaminated on a regular basis. so, maybe you need to go back to eating plainly, cooking/preparing your own meals, no eating at restaurants. be strict with your diet. good that you're getting an endoscopy in case there's something else going on. i hope you feel better.
  21. notme
    after trying soooooooooo many different recipes (and now i want to try the namaste, too, but it is not easily found in my hick town lolz) this was at least easy and co-operative dough. i have different things in mind for it next time i buy it. the crust isn't crumbly or gritty or rubbery and you can't beat the 'plop it out of the container, spread on pan...

    we used to have 'road trips' - to OLD junkyards/fields overgrown with weeds in the middle of nowhere in search of cool (rusty old what the heck is this?) machinery. that's how i found out 'buffalo-springfield' wasn't just the name of a band (found a steam roller for my friend that was a buffalo-springfield lolz - what mechanical genius' to think of all that...
  23. notme
    i think you're right, but i am not a doctor or a scientist. if your GI doesn't understand that celiac is systemic/affects your whole body, every system, maybe you need a new doctor. in the 3 years i have been gluten free, i have had a myriad of seemingly unrelated problems resolve. i had a headache that i didn't even know i had until it went away one day...
  24. notme
    a person's response to the gluten-free diet is one of the criteria a doctor should use as a diagnostic tool. so many doctors tell their patients to 'try' gluten free and then when it works, tell them to go back on gluten so they can have an accurate test. <seems like calculated torture lolz) not me - i began to gain weight immediately so my blood test...
