    Hmm, I'd say chebe is more for 2 people/adults. What do you think Kate?

    Hey Catherine--you aren't the only one with this frustrating problem! Check out this thread I started a while back on the same topic...there are some suggestions here that might help you: Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Ocular Rosacea?

    Autumn- My grandma had alzheimer's...such a hard disease. She had been so active, vibrant, intelligent, witty, independent...was quite a woman. She knew what was happening and it was hard to watch. She could have had it even worse than she did though, so I'm grateful for all the time we had and that it didn't progress even faster.

    No experience Chel, but yikes...I hope you figure something out soon. I want you to be able to pursue this dream of cooking too !

    I wouldn't say its close to the real thing--not a soft thick crust. It is thinner, maybe between chewy and crispy, depending on how long you cook it. That aside, I really like using the crust alot. I probably use it most of the time for me because its 1. fast (no yeast to deal with etc) and 2. tastes good. However, if you are going to be *really* picky...

    I called and cked on their soaps and lotions and they said they were gluten-free. They are pretty concentrated and the essential oils could be cause for either 1. irritating your skin or 2. drying it out.

    That's cool

    Whoa, your GI is too hands-off. IMO, from what I've read and experience, I think its best to have follow-up blood work (full panel) yearly. And at 6 mos or so after going gluten-free. Follow-up biopsy isn't a necessity, its debated here, but I did one a year after going gluten-free to check progress. These are helpful to check your progress, and a good...

    ARGGGG!!!! So sorry Carolyn. I'm ticked for you too. Really really grateful you finally found out though. Take care of yourself !

    Absolutely stop cold turkey. Why prolong any damage or harm to them? Kids are resilient and you'll be able to come up with some good gluten-free alternatives for them pretty quickly.

    That store sounds frustrating I wonder how many folks have "trusted" their misinformation...

    Congrats--that's amazing!

    Thanks for the input ladies... Good to have a warning of extended sleepiness. My doc really would like me to try a very small doze for pain and sleep but I really hesitate. I've had the prescription for months vacillating over it ! Susan--Yeah, beer is always a good option Although a few shots would have less carbs

    Yeah, let me know what they say, b/c there aren't any gluten ingredients in the product I use. Maybe its their cya. I know some definitely have wheat etc...don't use any of those. All of Giovanni hair products are gluten-free (even the golden wheat shampoo). I use their mousse off and on and it works pretty well with my curls.

    Wow...that is quite high. My doc was saying around 360ish is usually lupus. Are you feeling poorly too? Or just the high numbers?
  16. jenvan
    Angie- Yeah, I think your take on Grist being lighter is a good way to put it. I'm still loving my Strongbow cider Susan- Maybe they are sisters Vet said she needed to lose 20% of her body weight. She was pretty fat when we got her from the shelter. Is much thinner now, but needs "kitty lipo" we say as she has this little belly skin hanging...

    If you have any experience with elavil for sleep or pain...I'd love to hear about it... Thanks!
  18. jenvan
    Aw, good thing you're watching Annie My Maggie would be a binge eater if we let her. She has an eating disorder for sure--constantly whining for more food and yet she still has her little belly hangin low
  19. jenvan
    True that!

    Susan- This thread was from such a long time ago I saw the title, then my name and was like "What?! When did I post that?" Yeah, I had the Bard's--and so fun you met! You should like a beer snob Had the Grist too...but am not a beer aficionado...so can leave the comparisons up to you! (I was a scotch girl...yum). Do your dingos ever take...

    This looks delicious Betty...but *sniff sniff* it calls for cream cheese and I don't do dairy. And all the gluten-free cream cheeses I've had are majorly bleh Hmmm, perhaps I could fill it with something else... (Will think on that). Thanks for posting though! Oh, and a nod to some other things mentioned here--- I am a makeup lover too Lynne...

    congrats on your triumph! i am a big fan of quinoa too

    Seriously ? Wow! That is cool Well, not as cool at Kathy's ! but the Frizz Ease mousse has worked well for me, and now I'm using Pureology Real Curl (have to get in a salon). A lotiony styler that smells amazing! I wasn't sure how it would work at first, since I have fine hair--but it promotes great curls and doesn't weigh down my hair at all...
  24. jenvan
    Heck yeah! Share the wealth
  25. jenvan
    Good for you to point it out! You might have saved someone else... It is always good to ck the box, not just the store label. I've corrected labeling at our local store, Sunflower and at Wild Oats several times.
