    I'm jealous of everyone and the bulbs!! But the real investing in the yard won't happen till dh and I own our house. Hopefully later this year or early next year! The soil at our house is bleh... The woman who lived there before us was supposedly some great gardner--but when we moved in it was a huge disaster---no grass--dirt, a forest of lemon balm ...

    Mary- Is your pain an all over constant thing or from time to time?

    here is a good thread on the oats debate you can read: Open Original Shared Link There are two things with oats. 1st, most oats are contaminated in the US--just part of the growing, processing/milling etc...so, most aren't safe for those on a gluten-free diet. I also have a study I can e-mail you, if you like, on 3 major brands and their results from...

    Tropical Source is definitely my fav gluten-free/cf chocolate--dark and rich-yum! It comes in bars and chips.

    When I ate dairy, I liked yoplait's policy the best...most other yogurt brands gave shady answers I thought.

    Candy-- Well, if you have Celiac or gluten intolerance, going on the gluten-free diet WILL make you feel better. But that doesn't mean you are cured. You can not be cured of Celiac...its with you period, and so is the gluten-free diet. Don't let your lack of symptoms fool you. Have you been diagnosed with Celiac or had Celiac-like symptoms? Or...

    ah, a little accountability from the 3 year old!!

    I didn't do Anna's yeast-free...so it may be different. But when I used her regular--it turned out great. Has a soft, fluffy texture--best I've seen so far. I do stick with Kinnikinnick out of simplicity though. I usually toast the bread before I make my sandwiches too.

    Do you think they messed up your serum? I had allergy shots for years--over a decade and they did wonders for my allergies. However, they weren't for food allergies, but for environmental allergies Never had a reaction. Sorry for how yours turned out! Did he have gluten or wheat in the mix to try to "desensitize" you? If so...that is crazy! You could...

    Well, I cked out this post b/c your name was Hoosier--and I'm from Indiana. Not sure if that's why you choose that name though! Anywho, food allergies often come in groups... and a good number of Celiacs have intolerances/allergies to other foods, as well as gluten. Are you having difficulty finding safe products or coming up with menus that are safe...

    Yeah, I bought some last week to use in shrimp and okra gumbo...good spice combo to have around.

    Well, I never thought of them as dry, but guess they do make me a bit thirsty I just eat with a glass of water handy...

    Lynne-- Looked up Foxglove--wow, beautiful! Just thought of the poem...and how does her garden grow?? What your planting sounds amazing! I work for a Landscape/Site Architects and we have a host of planting type books. Was looking through one yesterday on large-scale gardens. Overwhelming!! Your book would be cool to borrow! What was the outlet...

    Well, I won't pull out anything specific...but have learned a tremendous amount of information here! Grateful for everyone and the care they offer. and even better -- I've made friends all over the country--and a few outside of it! And I plan on visiting a few in the next several months It's fun to have friends wherever you go....

    That's great Judy! Way to make things happen!!

    That's pretty classic

    Well, this is pretty much the same thing ya'll are talking about... My mom sent me a list of safety tips for protecting your credit cards a while back: Write "ask for photo id" instead of signing the back of your card. I know someone who has done this. Keep a photocopy of your cards, front and back in a safe in case they are stolen...I don't know my numbers...

    soup-chicken, glutano crackers (like saltines), sprite--that is always my first go to and always seems to help.

    How long ago was the disaster?

    I love those cookies--Nana Banana is my favorite. Which one exactly did you eat? I haven't had problems with them. Could it be the sugar in them is stimulating your gut? They are a bit dense/rich...

    Good for you keeping the log! I am going to get back on it for my rosacea to try to identify triggers. Mine was in a small notebook I kept in my purse--I found it best for myself, to write in each meal or symptom right after it happened. I logged in all foods, snacks etc I ate., any symptoms I had, even small things like 'burning eyes, stomache cramp,...

    Hmmm...probiotics are really supposed to be good for you...however, I had one brand that I swear gave me burning D. I switched to another and notice no issues at all. Could you lower your dosage, try another brand or eat with a meal (if you aren't already...). Also--Did you make sure the supplement was free of allergens?
  24. jenvan
    Vincent-- So it tastes pretty good?

    Lynne- Flowers sound beautiful! When B and I move and by a house, I want to invest in some bulbs. My most favorite--hydrangeas...I want to plant some...blue and white. Ah, I love them! Not sure about flower this year....I did about 15 pots last year! So perhaps some other annual.... Anywho, gotta go. Take a pic of the flowers some time!
