    Can you say Overachiever???? No more moving furniture! You may push your progress back... On that note--I would be in danger of doing the same in your position. My mom would have had to come over and clean up the juice stains. (Last time I was really sick that house ended up getting so dirty b/c I was keeping up on it and I "went off" on dh--This house...

    How long have you been gluten-free? And you've been doing the infusions for a year or two but are still not remaining at normal levels?
  3. jenvan
    Are you taking any fiber supplements right now?
  4. jenvan
    So you are doing a Paleo diet right now?

    Its sad to see so many in our "little community" having such a hard time... Prayers for you all, Karen now included

    Have you tried the Rice Crunchems, alternative for Chex cereal? They typically aren't in the "mainstream" grocery, but usually at a natural food store, wild oats etc. Open Original Shared Link

    Its not hurting you to eat those foods, so no need to stop eating them. The good thing is that the foods you are having issues with are ones that are typically hard to digest/high in fiber. I would be concerned if other types or most of your food was coming out undigested...which could be a sign of another issue like a pancreatic insufficiency. I guess...

    Well, I have been gluten-free for about a year and a half and still have undigested food coming through...I think that may continue to some extent, but noticing improvement (which I have) is what's important. I get beans, seeds, sometimes rice... Pre-gluten-free it was worse. I remember a large piece of broccoli coming through looking completely normal...

    Patti--Freeda gave you issues? That stinks... I have been taking theirs for a few months now w/o any issues...

    Really...that's interesting! Do you have a link or article for what you were reading? Would love to see it. Will try to track it down...

    BTW--I always get really sore throats when I am stuffy and getting drainage. Feel like I'm getting a sinus infection..had a fever for a few days. Did a nasal rinse (was reminded of on the forum)--hope that helps too ! Anywho--no houses yet. We go in two Saturdays on the 8th. I'm hopeful as there are a few more options for us...but a little worried...

    Yeah, when I see someone staring hard at the gluten-free stuff I usually strike up a conversation

    Its happened to me a few times... Once was at Risotteria in NYC, so no surprise there! I saw a wife take picture of her husband with his gluten-free beer and breadstick. I said to my mom--"Okay, he has to be a Celiac!" I went over and talked to them for a bit, it was fun. He had celiac disease and they were visiting from Maine.

    It doesn't make you look like a ding! We all sweat the small stuff!! I am famous for that!
  15. jenvan
    Wow! That's cool!

    I went there pre-gluten-free but ck out this thread of some locals you could ask or also get in contact with the local support group to ask about restaurants. I always do that when going out of town... Open Original Shared Link

    Let me know what Chiro says later. Maybe next time you can get some of Thayer's to keep on hand. It's pretty good I think...

    How high did your iron ever get? Since it is so mild, seems chronically so, that perhaps focusing on getting iron via diet might even be enough. It seems like you responded fairly quickly. I was also anemic...for years. My numbers were frighteningly low, so I had an infusion in Feb 05. (After months and months--never responded to iron supplements.) ...

    That is very cool of you to try and accomodate her...more than most do at this point! You could ask for some of her favorite gluten-free products and pick up a few. Also, one of the best and easiest ways to cook gluten-free is to stick with whole foods--meats with homemade marinades and spice rubs, vegetables stirfried, sauteed, steamed, fruits (makes good...

    Open Original Shared Link Above is what I use: Thayer's Slipperly Elm Lozenges, Cherry. They are gluten and dairy free, but I'm not sure about soy. Don't see soy listed on the ingredients though. Ingredients are: Slippery elm bark, dextrose, magnesium stearate, natural cherry flavor, sucrose, vegetable stearine (binder). Sorry your throat is...

    Wow...will have to get up to CAN and get some !

    That's great on the pizza--enjoy! It boggle my mind a bit on the Smirnoff--it is the same beverage as in the US? I would think the malt would be in both...as that is pivotal to the beverage itself...
  23. jenvan
    I pked up some of the broth too--yum. Great deal. This wouldn't be for travel per se, but they also have (can't remember the brand), Taquitos that are labeled Kirkland but made by a name brand. They don't contain gluten. Can anyone remember the brand name?

    Oops--I knew it was months, but wrote weeks for some reason... Duh ! Definitely have hope about the improvement. Also, I recommend just plain natural psyllium husks too if you think the Metamucil isn't as effective. (Even though it contains psyllium I have noticed a difference).

    Have you been tested for allergies? Airborne, seasonal ? When I was younger I had horrible allergies that caused sinus infections every few weeks, was miserable... I also rec Tiffany and Dessa's sinus rinse. My allergist recommended it for me. It does help clean things out and prevent infections. You can buy a rinse kit and bottle at CVS too. Just...
