    Oh, and to clarify--I do know I have Celiac, and have been gluten-free since March. What I am curious about is the other foods I am intolerant of. And strangely I noticed the foods I was very low for reactivity, were foods I rarely eat--like fish and certain fruits. I wonder if there is any correlation there? Sue--so you've noticed improvement from...

    I am hoping for a little help from those of you with other tested food intolerances. I finally got back my great plains lab food intolerance test and was shocked by what I found. 1st--4 foods that cause me immediate physical discomfort were low on the reactivity scale (corn, chocolate, coffee, turkey), but a ton of foods, some of which I've never noticed...

    Wow Vincent--that's it? I must say, my husband and I are still suckers for the "theater experience"...and still get excited about going and seeing a movie in the theater !

    www.neighborhoodies.com go here--was thinking of making a gluten t-shirt on this site. they have awesome t-shirts, hoodies etc. very cool. i have a hoodie from there that says 'van hut'--a combo of my maiden and married last names

    Thanks for the thoughts all. I guess I just wanted a little pat on the back that whatever I choose is okay

    Ha ha! Your post made me laugh. I know some people really dig the Lara Bars, but I can't stomach them either. An alternate that is mostly fruit-- I just had one of the Clif Nectar bars. Those I thought were good...

    Jamie- Its my understanding that there is really no test for Fibro... just a diagnosis based on how you meet a certain number of criteria. Such as pain for a certain period of time and in certain areas. Go here and it gives you those criteria and pictures of the points. Open Original Shared Link If you have a doctor that is familiar with Fibro, they...

    Hey there! Had to share this victory with you all, and hope it encourages you to keep up the letters, feedback too. I recently sent out several letters to restaurants on my experiences with their gluten-free menus. One I sent was Ted's Montana Grill--because I had two frustrating experiences. Both times I went to their restaurant, the staff was unaware...

    I love to make extras and freeze for a busy night. Things I freeze a lot of-- johnny marzetti (noodles with some beef and tomato/spices), lots of soups--chicken vegetable, vegetable, beef, bean and ham, potato chowder, jamabalya, flat bread, banana nut muffins. I can give you the recipes of any of these if you like... Exciting time for you-...

    Stephanie-- wow... this is complex. Raynaud's -- i get that too, but i don't have any kind-of scleroderma issues either.

    Well, Vincent's theory was right. FYI that movie theater sales are down... Open Original Shared Link

    Tiffany- Yeah, as you described, its more how I'm feeling physcially that iscausing me to think of staying home... not the food thing itself. That's more of an annoyance, but something I can certainly handle. and yes... without the husbands means a better sleep for me ! He was tossing and groaning about all night last night while he slept...

    Hey all. I was just curious if any of you have bailed on a trip before. I am supposed to rent a cabin with some friends this weekend and am trying to decide if I should skip out. At this point, I feel like I barely make it through the weeks, and that the weekends help me do that. I don't think my friends or husband really understand how I feel. I had...

    wow..., so kaiti you take this. what have you personally noticed from taking it? i could use some extra help myself

    Laura had a good idea, make sure you don't have a fever too--that the pain isn't a sign of acute illness. Could it be fibromyalgia pain? I have it and sometimes my pain is really horrible. Donna, another woman who deals with Fibro gets muscle spasms too, possibly like your describing. We both use heat to treat the soreness. I use a heating pad about...

    Oh, a little more... gluten-free Living might have more consistent info for you on gluten... And I'd also say Living Without might be helpful for a parent, b/c it has articles on dealing with your children's intolerances, schools etc... Do you get the newsletter from this website or from Clan Thompson? That is another way to get good updated medical...

    Julie- Here are two that I read. I have a subscription to Living Without--it is larger than Gluten-Free Living, but it is not only for Celiacs, it also has some articles on other food allergies/intolerances. But each issue has several articles dealing with Celiac, gluten. These are the 2 I know of. Some places, like Wild Oats where I live, sells each...

    ha ha....could be. maybe it would end up that we turn it living zombies or something...

    I understand Stef. I am renting a cabin with some friends this weekend and my friend went grocery shopping for it, and explained all the things to me that I "could" eat that she got, and I replied to most of them.... "sorry, can't eat it !"
  24. jenvan
    Good luck Yvonne !!

    hmmm--charcoal! luckily we have an electric grill. but i think when we're renting a cabin this weekend it will be a charcoal grill. what if you were using kingsford, but wrapped your meat in foil. wouldn't it be safe then, i would think ?
