    In MHO, she's clearly watching way too much entertainment TV and reading too many magazines. I applaud you for your restraint and decorum. I probably would have had to had to bring up Adam and Eve and the apple, or GFinDc's quote in his tag line from Job. Happy Mardi Gras anyway, and way to go!

    I couldn't tolerate coffee for awhile after going gluten-free. It aggravated my gut. I now enjoy coffee, but only 1/2 - 1 mug a day vs. the 2-4 mugs daily I used to be addicted to. Green tea was an okay substitute for awhile. I think it varies from person to person.

    Hi Jenn, and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you've had a rough run for a few years. Your post made me think of a couple of things that might help you. Regarding family history, have your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins been diganosed with other autoimmune diseases? (Cancer, diabetes, M.S., Leukemia...or irritable bowel syndrome... there are...

    I think using it a couple of weeks are enough to train youself to sleep on your side. The other thing I thought of is getting a copy of your sleep study analysis. If you live in the US, you qualify for oxygen if you spend 30 minutes or more under 88% oxygen saturation. Most insurance companies honor that. It would be good to know how many desaturation...

    Alan, my best doctor who I love to bitts readily states that we all know the blood tests are unreliable at best. I wish you the best in good health.

    I don't know if this will help you or not, but some people with mild sleep apnea benefit from sleeping in an XL tee shirt with 3 tennis balls sewn down the back. You stick a ball in an athletic sock, stich it up, and repeat twice (at intervals) , then sew the sock onto the back of a tee shirt. I'm not even close to being Betty Crocker, but I made one...

    Hi Alan, Even though you might feel like it's a bummer that the initial results came back positive for celiac, remember that it's not necessarily a bummer. It could be an answer vs. a problem. You can control the disease by what you stick in your mouth, that's a good thing! Two months is a long time to wait for the endoscopy, but you've already...

    Thanks for letting me know!

    OMG! My uncontollable diahhrea was the result of my emotional problems! I never thought of that. I thought the shame and depression were because of the D and malabsorbtion, guess I had it all bass ackwards, as well as my board certified gastroenterologist who told me to continue with the gluten-free diet despite negative test results, which are unreliable...

    Plain Greek yogurt with sliced fruit, a drizzle of honey and unsalted sunflower seeds. I use yogurt all the time as a substitute for sour cream. Dear other can't tell the difference. (A dallop on soup or baked potato, on top of nachos, in pancakes. And the d dog loves any leftovers.

    Excellent post. Thank you.

    The pessimist in me says they'll introduce a gluten-free version, label it as such and charge 65% more for it. I get so irritated when I see coupons for Bisquick limitted to the traditional or low fat version. Why don't they just come out and say "Applies to all varieties except gluten-free". I rarely buy Bisquick, but think I'm going to stop altogether...

    Yes, you could have celiac disease. There are more than 200 symptoms associated with celiac disease, and you've named a number of them. In case you aren't already aware, it's vital to continue consuming gluten until after your blood tests and endoscopy. Good luck to you, hope you're on the road to better health and quality of life!

    It was downright cold in Florida this weekend. (Really, I swear.) I made red beans and rice yesterday and have chili in the crock pot for tomorrow. Former boyfriend known as "other" smoked a chicken today. I stuck 1/2 a lime and an onion in it. Had that with smashed potatoes and really awful gravy with salad. He's lucky. (So am I.)

    I'm not saying I'm normal, but I had and continue to have simalar cravings for dairy since going gluten-free. It drove me crazy when I had to give up dairy for awhile. During that time, I used coconut milk quite a bit in curries (Indian and Thai recipes.) Maybe he'd like curried fish (or chicken) over rice.

    Sorry a lot again to respond so late, I was sick and am sparing you from the sordid details. Feb 17. WPB, FL, bring on the cabana (or regurlar) boys & come on down, y'all.
  17. Marilyn R
    Sorry a lot! I just have known for 2 years that you're really smart and figure stuff out. (I have a box of gloves on the rig.) xxx happy new year

    Whoa... I just saw Lisa's pic! I can't even type. I think I hyperventilated or something.

    Crap! That means, at the end of this, that I have to keep SUD. It always turns out like this. (Ya'll are still welcome down. We'll just leave suck up Danny for driving & emptying our tanks & general banter, occasional banging.)

    My endocrinologist says the blood tests (for celiac) are not reliable. He's a really good doctor.
  21. Marilyn R
    We could actually do it, you know ... have a group meet up in South Florida for the gluten-free expo. I'll keep SUD until ya'll find me a suitable cabana boy because I'm scared of driving the RV and don't know how to discard the gray or black water tank, and have no intention of learning. It's 80 degrees here, and a mere 2 miles from the beach. I bet...
  22. Marilyn R
    I walked out of my office laughing (maybe even snorting) last night. SUD asked me what was so funny. I told him I was on my forum, we were all laughing about his salmon.

    Our horrid, vicious, but very pretty little dog (he calls her Lindsey Lo) peed in my roommate's bed on NY Eve when the fire works went off! I came very close to peeing my pants laughing about it, because he turned into Elmer Fudd. So Karen, if you're watchin, I don't sleep with him.

    I swear, please don't use it for pizza dough. It''s bad enough as bisquit mix. Much better alternatives for pizza are Chebes , Against the Grain or Glutinos, not necessarily in that order.
  25. Marilyn R
    I make the mix with a T of extra fat - butter or bacon grease - and cook them up, freeze the left overs. If you have an indorr (like G. Foreman) grill, they heat up beautifully in that. Otherwise, you could toast them. Then they're great for breakfast bisquits.
