    jenvan replied to zippy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Pot barley is just a less refined version from regular barley. Not that that affects us I sub rice, quinoa or lentils for barley in soup recipes...depending on what I think would work best with the recipe.

    i was going to ask the same question as mysuicidalturtle... are you sittin' on the pot for too long? i have had my legs/butt start to go numb when i've been on there for a while!

    we'll do like nogluten and make a brownie sundae with a namaste brownie and edy's icecream and hershey's. we'll take kinnikinnick english muffins and either toast or grill them and add scrambled eggs, cheese, for a breakfast sandwich. you could add bacon too or ham. i made my dh and i our own gluten-free blizzards over weekend. edy's vanilla with...

    yeah--at least my squirrels are still vegetarians!! poor shirley has the "carnivorous squirrels!"

    true that!

    forgot about Roy's...that may have been the best food we had on our trip. definitely go there!

    I don't have DH, but I do have psoriasis. It is common to be in the scalp or start there. It is often found on the same spot--both sides of the body. It can start out as red and then grow into a larger spot with thick white flakes--some people describe them at oatmealish...

    the foundation itself isn't as dry as a typical powder. it does have some moisture to it and softens up when applied. i was definitely skeptical at first, bur now i love it...

    janelson-- i know those products--they are manufacturered by frontier, the coop i've joined. if you got pure spices they should be okay. i have some. the company won't tell you if there products are gluten-free or not. however, if you have their catalog they list the ingredients in all their products--in case you got a spice mix or something like that...

    yeah, that is frustrating. i got the same response previously. now i've moved onto to mostly bare escentuals products. a sephora store is opening in my city though--this friday. woo hoo!!!!!
  13. jenvan
    I buy them from my coop, Frontier and at Wild Oats. I bet you could get them at an area natural food type store. Or you can buy them online at quite a few places too. ie. mothernature.com, greenmarket.com or vitaminshoppe.com--to name a few. I highly recommend

    Anyone have any tips on getting squirrels to stay away from pumpkins? I want a put a few out this year but last year, within a few days, the dang squirrels had eaten through them!!

    nice info Bob. Lahaina ! that's where we were--couldn't remember the name. i stayed at the embassy suites in maui. wish i was there now

    Hey all...for those of you who use Giovanni organic hair care...I finally got a response back from them--below. It is so ironic there shampoo called "Golden Wheat" has no wheat in it and is gluten-free! Where the heck did they come up with that name?? Anyway, I switched over to their shampoos/conditioners and styling products...they are more natural than...

    ARCHIVED Pancreatitis

    jenvan replied to minamoe's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    i don't have pancreatitis, but a woman in my local support group does. it can be very difficult to get rid of. and yes, there can be a link between it and celiac.

    I was in maui about 2 years ago. Gorgeous--enjoy! I wasn't diagnosed at the times, so can't help you there. But, a few things I can remember...there is a cheeseburger in paradise and a bubba gump shrimp on maui...you could probably get hamburgers/fish etc there. I'm sure some of the nicer restaurants will work with you. I did find these hawaii groups...

    hang in there...like rachel said, stick with the diet and you'll see change. you may want to ck into an area support group. sometimes it can be an encouragement and great resource to have other celiacs in your area.

    berneses- are you eating any new foods now that you did not before going gluten-free? i think lisa also has the right idea about experimenting with a break from the horses. i hope that you can return to it. how fun that must be--i've never ridden before. (ps--like the anne lamott quote--i am a big fan of her...)

    so sorry you are really on your own in syria! i'm sure that gets lonely and discouraging at times! do you know any of the ingredients in kari? i have a friend from the middle east--maybe he would know what is in it.

    Ginny- Wow! You're BIL is obvious clueless about Celiac... He doesn't understand that he was really saying "it's his birthday--let him eat something toxic" ! i hope your son had a good b-day nevertheless. did you get to serve him some gluten-free treats later? some of the other moms on here have great b-day ideas from their kids with celiac...
  23. jenvan
    thanks for the responses all...trying to play 'detective'
  24. jenvan
    you should absolutely get tested for celiac!!! you have many of the common symptoms. please get tested--the blood test is really simple and can be ordered by most docs. if you have it, your life could be so much better just by going gluten-free. there are others with epilepsy brought on by celiac. do you know what blood test to ask for? go here to get...

    mouth ulcers often accompany those with an autoimmune disease like celiac. i second jnkmnky's rec for lysine. swishing with salt water can help sometimes too. with one kid with one celiac disease--i would definitely ck out the other, since he has other signs. what is the rash like? it could be dh or psoriasis--but either way, both can accompany celiac...
