    ARCHIVED Darn It!

    i LOVE old construction equipment i am amazed and fascinated by machinery - i used to put the newsletter out for "easy diggin' " chapter of the historic construction equipment association (hcea) we had guys who restored this type of stuff and then we had a place at a local quarry where we would have a show and 'play' with them. i have a lifetime membership...
  2. rest as much as you can and drink lots of water - you are sick, you would baby yourself if you had the flu, right? my gluten after-effects stay for 2 weeks i have to keep reminding myself that i do NOT hate everybody it's just the gluten messing with my mind. ((((hugs))))) i am 6 months without doing myself in <that's a record for me so, i...

    LOLZ! i did - i couldn't find the drops so i cancelled my 'script of D2 and got some D3 but it was in soybean oil, too. soy doesn't like me and i would have to take, like, 4 or more of them per day - over my soy limit <that i usually save for hershey bars lolz) so i called and got my D2 back - less soy b/c i only take it 1x per wk. the doc...
  5. aww it'll be ok - you will feel better soon. right now it's hard, i know. have you read the newbie 101 thread: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ we all go through a grieving process (about our food and what we can't have anymore) (sounds dumb but it's true!) and hopefully you will get through this soon. welcome to the...

    ibupropen makes my scalp break out - i only take ONE once a month <which is probably the only reason i figured it out lolz
  8. at this point, i would even settle for a silly hat tinkyada they are awesome! as usual, love2, i am drooling - although, it took me a second to remember what speck is
  9. last night i made creamy roasted tomato & garlic soup - tonight is squash lasagne w/salad & maybe bread for the gluteneaters.
  10. false positives are not common, even if they're weak. there is something called 'silent celiac' which does damage to your intestines with little or no symptoms. untreated celiac will cause a myriad of other problems over time. good luck with whatever you decide to do
  11. either way should be fine as long as they're clean, right? it takes me for ever to do the dishes - they are probably already sufficiently clean when i put them into the dishwasher lolz - my husband does the dishes, doesn't even *rinse* everything! and they turn out just fine. my secret? i don't watch him do it and when he loads the dishwasher, my...
  12. relax, mama it's not their first time - it's just *your* first time. my grandson had surgery at 10 months (yes, he woke up upset but he was a baby baby) and my daughter had surgery when she broke her arm in 3 places. she was 7 and she was fine. a little dopey, but ok. hope everything goes well!
  13. it takes awhile for the gluten reaction to go away. if i get 'glutened' i feel it (full on!) 2 days later and then it takes another 12 days to go away you are very new - have you read the newbie 101 thread? lots of info to help you avoid pitfalls, especially early on. welcome to the best club you never wanted to join hope you feel better soon.
  14. you probably need a good in-patient evaluation. has anyone else suggested this to you? in a controlled environment, where you won't come into contact with all these contaminants.
  15. "gosh, tina! eat a quesadilla!" loved that movie
  16. could you not ask the people on the milk allergy website? maybe they would have a better insight - i, personally, do not have a milk allergy, so i have zero knowledge about what products are safe for your milk allergy. apparently, the 600-800 people who frequent this site at all times don't know either, or you would have an overabundance of answers. you...

    i went and got some D3 today and am going to try them - couldn't find the drops and these are also in soybean oil. so, i might switch back to the D2 mega-dose once per week just not to feel crappy from the soy EVERY day we shall see....
  18. mostly everybody on here was 'diagnosed' with ibs - which stands for 'irritable bowel syndrome' which means something is irritating your bowel but they have no idea what it is. false negatives on the blood test are pretty common. guaging your response to gluten-free diet is one of the tools doctors use to diagnose celiac/ncgi <but if you are either...
  19. lolz - twist my arm yes, i can now chew through steel - superman is jealous of my mad drinking skills
  20. wait. there's gluten ON THIS SITE??!! (....................runs away..........................) sorry, i must have had too much wine <that doesn't have gluten in it
  21. yup, gem, i share my stainless steel with the gluten eaters - we hit it with a scouring pad (s.o.s. or brillo, etc), rinse it and it goes in the dishwasher. i sometimes even (*gasp*) cook my (gluten-free) pasta first, drain it, and then use the same (stainless steel) pot to cook gluten pasta - that way you only have one pot to wash let me add, i am...
  22. here is a link my friend showed me - although i am not single, i can imagine it's difficult to meet people to swap spit with safely lolz - i told her if i had to date again i would make a necklace out of toothbrushes!! Open Original Shared Link anyways, it's free. name your all your first-borns 'arlene' LOLZ
  23. and i think exactly the opposite. you're talking high speed high temp water, here. my dishwasher is TERRIBLE and i am sensitive (we are celiacs, aren't we all sensitive to gluten?) and i would eat off of dishes out of a dishwasher hands down any day of the week over dishes washed by hand. hands down. any, day, of. the. week. i have friends who eat...

    oops! sorry l.b. - nothing personal !!
  25. nah, i'll just suffer they have it EVERYWHERE else - i tried it up in nj. when i went online to look for the closest retailer, there *might* be one in nashville. in the whole state! the northeast is lousy with them..... go figger..... my 'guy' in town is trying to get me bard's a case at a time, so there's that (he's got till friday, then i...
