    stress is a digestive deal-breaker for me. i keep a little xanax around for unavoidable bad news and i take it in tiny tiny doses - like i break the tablet into sixths - it seems to help my guts not turn to jello. a new job would certainly stress me out. soy (for me) will mimic gluten without the lasting effects so i eat as little soy as possible...

    about 6-8 months i went a little nuts, thinking i was "all better" AND i overdid it with stuff that bothers me less and less as time goes by: nightshades, soy, dairy, etc. also thinking that just because they SAID it was safe doesn't mean it is: my blood pressure meds - called the manufacturer and they said the drug was safe so i took them. ran out for...

    jenny: did you use frozen spinach? i used fresh/uncooked - i had my doubts when i started mixing them into the ricotta (which i used ricotta from the refrigerator case - sargento? i think)and i was thinking 'wow, it would've been easier if i had used frozen/cooked' but it started mixing together and the dumplings weren't hard to form and i had no problem...

    i have 'maseca' - is that the same thing? made by azteca milling out of texas. on the bag it has "corn: a gluten-free food" with the little 'no wheat' symbol. and also it is labeled kosher. lol - i bought it in new mexico when i was visiting my daughter but when i got home, i noticed they sell it at kroger

    dahhh! well, now that i am thinking about it - once they scheduled it, i would have to have the same guidelines for the procedure, huh. welp, i guess i'll have to wait for the perfect 3 days. within 14 days. thanx for your help

    how awesome! what nice neighbors you have beware of cc, though - one of the wonderful women in my bible study group made me a flourless chocolate cake when i was first dx'd and i was very touched and grateful. and sick... i don't know whether she cc'd me (in reality, probably) because i was new and didn't have any knowledge that bakeware/wooden spoons...

    my doc gave me a kit to do 3 samples on 3 different days - to determine whether i need to have a colonoscopy done (i am borderline age) but it has so many *rules* - no red meat, can't do it when your menstruating, can't do it if you have hemmoroids <which i do not but when i have D for any reason, everything gets raw = blood) no ibuprofen 2 days before...

    suz - i feel ya w/the urge to break glass sometimes! but i am not a destructive teenager anymore, so i have generic xanax i don't take the whole pill, just break off a little until i stop freaking out. freaking out also makes my hair fall out, so there's that (yay)(not) and, honestly, if i didn't have terrible GI issues and deadly weight loss and my doc...

    made this for dinner tonight and it was DEE-LISH-OUS!!! thank you so much for posting the recipe it was easy to make and daughter said she had this at a restaurant and that these were better. thank you thank you

    my husband never *ever* hears a word i say. he is so good at it, he can even reply (in context of the conversation) and forget simultaneously! i keep him around because he's so durn cute...

    pain in my left rib cage is the first sign for me that i have been glutened. headache follows (step two and confirmation that i have, indeed, been glutened) i drink, but only beer (redbridge) as even wine knocks me on my a$$.....

    lol i was just giving my daughter's boyfriend lessons in label reading. he hands me a box, i read then flip the box back over and give it back to him: nope. after about 4 or 5 products, he says incredously: WOW! you read soo fast! that's because i only read until i get to the part that says the ingredient that i can't eat...

    i avoid them like the plague! in the beginning i didn't and paid the price. MAYBE i won't get cc'd, but 1-2 weeks of misery isn't worth the risk.
  14. notme
    doesn't that just kill you? i just smile and say: because i'm special and if they're particular jerks, i add: and your *not* everywhere i go and bring my own food, i usually hear something to that effect. jeez. go ANYWHERE and eat, oh,..... ANYTHING YOU WANT, but don't be all vultching over my food. damb glutenaters...... grumble......

    almost forgot - and this is huge for me - went 4-wheeling (you know, 'quad') in the mountains saturday and sunday i woke up just fine. first time that i wasn't absolutely wiped out (i have been limiting my activities because i was over-doing it) and yesterday i washed windows. big windows. alot of them. is this for real???

    and it is gone. for 3 days running! this is, like, the eight thousanth painful/uncomfortable/annoying/freaky thing that has gone away. i didn't even know i had it! and neck pain has been soooo much better. it's amazing what you can learn to live with as 'normal' also, 'baby hair' growing back on my head (you know, that little layer of new hair......

    get. out. where did you get them? (don't say teff, don't say teff, don't say teff...) one of the 'other things' i miss is flour tortillas. although i am doing better with using the corn ones. edited to say: last night we made macaroni n cheese w/stewed tomatoes. tonight we smoked salmon and tuna w/roasted potato rounds and acorn squash...

    awwh! poor baby ((((((hugs))))) it is *overwhelming* i know! tinfoil is your friend, for keeping your food separate from glutened areas. that is not as hard as sanitizing your mom's whole kitchen. you can use the same oven, just wrap yours, or put it on, tinfoil. that's how husband grills for me. i use the same toaster-oven as everybody else, i...

    i think your dr is not educated, and be aware: the health care industry isn't as hip to celiac as they should be. no drug companies involved = no information jammed down everybody's throat. if you have atrophy, that is a pretty sure sign. alot of us have lived similar stories as yours. i was diagnosed as everything (IBS, colitis, blah, blah, blah, write...

    that sounds like a great idea - also a one pan wonder i am going to try it with the white sauce and sausage in marinara (red) - i have one batch of red sauce left in the freezer that this will work great with - yeh!

    ha i always blamed the cabbage/kraut on my indigestion but it was the BREAD! rudi's bread (original) was good instead of rye bread. my glutenators had regular rye bread so i figured why make a whole loaf. i toasted the rudi's pretty good so it wouldn't get too soggy. if you find a good rye bread sub recipe, though, or OMGOSH i would sometimes kill to...

    this sounds delicious! i am going to try it - what sort of meat (for the husband) would you suggest would go well with it? italian sausage? meatballs? what do you serve with it if anything else? it sounds like a complete meal to me but i know what the first question out of his mouth will be LOL (he is not a huge spinach fan either but that is TOO BAD...

    simona: i do use the leftover jars from spaghetti sauce, etc, when i am just doing hot water bath processing, like for pickles or jams, etc. but when i am pressure canning i have had trouble with having the jars seal properly unless i use the specified canning 'mason' jars. bubba's mom: how did your kraut turn out?? i can't eat rueben sandwiches...
