    Shirley- congrats AGAIN! Sounds like a great dinner your mom had. I bet you are taking good care of her. Oh, also--I think you should write a book on all your gardening, plant, bug etc knowledge that the rest of us can refer to !! And then I'll seem as smart as you Lynne-You're gonna get those pillars alright! All your herbs sound great Lynne! I...

    That's funny--I was investigating triple sec to get my 1st bottle today for a party later this week. Great minds think a like I guess I heard Cointreau was gluten-free too, but I had e-mailed them this morning to make sure. Thanks Carla.

    It can take a while...the daughter of a friend of mine was just diagnosed and she has major C--to the point of impaction. She is improving though. This product is safe for kids, just start out with a smaller dose. And remember to have her drink plenty of water afterwards. Hope she feels better soon! I bet eliminating the other foods will help too.

    Chrissy- That's great! I pray this is a real turning point for her!

    go here to see a whole slew of gluten-free candies: Open Original Shared Link (some other hard candies like suckers etc)

    You could always "regift" to a friend

    I wouldn't feel too bad--I think most of our society is addicted to carbs now! ...unfortunately! Tiffany put some helpful options here. I have modified my diet in several ways--I went too carb heavy initially on the gluten-free diet. I'm still trying to cut out more. What is helpful for me is a combination of things: 1. Don't buy the offending foods...

    I love your life Shirley--so fun, but hard work! I went to the driving range last weekend with dh. First time I've picked up the clubs in 5 years!! Had a few good shots...but lots of misses and 3 feet shots too!! My arm is still sore! Ooo, send some peas my way !

    That's great! Keep up the good work mom!

    Shirley and Lynne- I knew you two would know what to do Can't wait to try it. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend... I'll have to ck into that tape too Shirley. I will be doing some batchelorette party planning and gift shopping for Brian's 30th. Maybe I can make a detour to Joann's. Had my mom take pictures of some of my flower pots from...

    Becky-It took me quite a few months (and also eliminating dairy) to get regular, after years of C. I can say now things are working pretty well....so much better. When I start to slow down, the psyllium gets things up and rolling again. Go to this thread and read the 2nd post down, mine. I actually responded to your question, but maybe you never went...

    Nice Leah! I was going to look for where I put that list, but you found it first! Cool

    Seriously? Wow.

    That stinks about the Enchiladas! I eat them a few times a month without any issues I would think Amy's is probably "no worse" on CC than most other producers w/o gluten-free facilities. What makes them seem more 'shady' perhaps, is that they are a bit more savvy, and are not willing to claim to be gluten-free until it is clear what gluten-free really...

    This thread is way over my head Did I miss a discussion on Pilates? I am a moderately die-hard fan of it now. I haven't been taking for very long, but already the abs are becoming more defined. (As soon as I get my full six-pack I'll make a picture of it my avatar : ) Anywho, it is great form of exercise, esp for folks with fibromyalgia...one of my...

    Are you saying Vincent is dignified?? I feel like I need to ask Laurie a real dietetics question. Hmmmm... like what is the most common deficiency among women? Or do you feel the current food pyramid needs revamping? (I do think that actually....: ) !

    Good idea with the peppermint. I should try that sometime in my chocolate Silk. I don't know if they have that in the UK either--but Silk's chocolate soy milk is delicious--says cf/gluten-free right on container too.

    That stinks...I have liked it b/c it is a lower dose of hormones than oral. Now, I don't know a ton about this bc...but I have several friends on yasmin who really like it. I took ortho for about 10 years. It didn't cuase me any issues while I was on it. Ideally, I wouldn't be on any bc, but due to cysts, and unbearable periods, I'm stuck with the meds...

    That could be... so glad how well she is doing now! After years of C...I still don't take going to the bathroom for granted !

    I had hoped you wouldn't read into what I wrote, b/c I honestly wasn't trying to imply anything about your daughter's situation. Maybe you weren't really...I can't tell here. I do believe that sometimes that route is the only and best option, and in those times--I say take it for sure! Going with a laxative is better than not going at all if other options...

    ARCHIVED Pf Changs

    jenvan replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hmmm, a good friend works at changs, I'll have to ck with him. I would assume each rice is made a container pretty much dedicated for rice only, and that it would be pretty safe. I'll ask him...

    Hmmm, I have never heard that with food intolerances...with them starting with the skin. If you have food allergies or intolerances and eat an offending food, you can get a rash from that, but I haven't heard of skin exposure to a food causing a food intolerance. eKatherine--Do you have a link to the article you read? I'd be curious to read about...

    I would caution you from using this everyday, esp on an ongoing basis. Senna is a laxative, and not something you should allow your body to depend on. I realize some folks are in situations where they need this type of supplement...but I'd say that majority of people can find other solutions. Have you tried natural fiber alternatives like psyllium? I...

    So did you try the nuvaring and have issues with it?
