    OMG I had completely forgotten about the Chickenman show. It was on Detroit rock stations in the morning when I walked to school in the mid 60's. Is that the one you are referring to?

    I have MCS too. I had a severe delayed positive skin test for Balsam of Peru some 20 years ago, which is an allergy to Cinnamyl, Benzoic Acid, Cinnamate, Sodium Benzoate and Vanillin. They are all part of the exudate of the Balsam Fir. This translates into perfumes, spices, the most common preservatives, PABA, flavorings, and on and on...It cross reacts...

    I had a problem with another Hagman recipe that used the bean flours, a strange aftertaste...so I made the non-bean recipe. I loved it! I made wide noodles with pesto, cheese stuffed raviolis and mushroom stuffed too. Each was a delight! It works in my pasta machine and just rolling out with a rolling pin. Easy to use too.

    The pasta machine isnt really neccesary. I did much better with a nice nonstick roller and cornstarch dusted marble surface. You can buy these ravioli molds (mine was marked down to 50 cents) and just roll out the dough, put one layer on the mold, trim the sides, depress the pockets in the mold as you put spoonfulls of stuffing. (I also just made a nice mushroom...

    I love the 125 Gluten Free Recipes book mentioned above and use it frequently. Right now, I'm baking the white sandwich bread recipe in my new programmable bread machine. Fingers crossed as this is a first attempt. The recipe that came with the gluten free breadmaker was the worst! I'll try that pumpernickle recipe if I gain any confidence in this breadmaker...

    Be careful about using St Johns Wort with depression..some people react badly. I used SAM-e with great success. It not only helps me with that exhaustion type sleep, but also with pain from Fibromyalgia. When I stop taking it for a while, I feel my mood slip and start sleeping alot more. Chronic arthritic pain is the cause of my reactive depressive bouts...

    I completely agree with the other posts! If you can't eat it, don't cook it! Our house has 2 toasters, one is gluten-free, the other isnt. Hubby toasts all the bread products he likes and I do the same with my gluten free breads. Outside of bread issues, I only cook with safe grains. He eats everything I make and still thinks I'm the best cook around...

    For about 2 months I started eating Capt Crunch Peanut butter flavor, thinking it was gluten free. The label lists nothing at all suspicious. My health deteriorated to the point that I was ready to call my rheumatologist for an emergency appt. My RLS was at its worst, migraines lasting days, arthritis had me pretty much chair bound again, nausea was constant...

    I use the Bare Essentuals the same way...love the stuff. I too felt very bad about my appearance. When my skin is burning, I cool it down with MyChelle Cranberry Cleanser. I figure it's inflammatory, and the cleanser has anti-inflammatories in it. Seems to help, well that and cold compresses. Dermatologist perscribed Elidel, but I dont seem to get much...

    It's been almost 2 years since I went gluten-free and the changes are wonderful. No more fear of leaving the house and being too far from a bathroom. No more Restless Leg syndrome, Anemia, Migraines, abdominal cramping. My arthritis is so much less painful. If I get accidentally glutened, it all comes raging back almost immediately so I'm really consciencous...

    Well today I searched google with the following: eDiets, gluten. I came up with the UK eDiets site at the top of the search. They have launched a gluten free diet plan. So in a state of total amazement, I had another online chat with a nutritionist at the US eDiet site where I'm a member. I quoted statistics, pointed to the UK site, the NIH page on the...

    I joined eDiets almost a year ago and have struggled with the menu choices that long. I wrote thier nutritionist on a couple occasions, requesting to have a gluten free menu but they just give a run around and say they are thinking about it...it's in the discussion phase. I also made the suggestion on the boards that just as they have other diet restrictions...

    Hi, Another Michigander here just north of Lansing. The snow is just so pretty that I don't care about the cold. Makes me want to bake a nice fresh hot loaf of Bob's Red Mill bread. Janet

    I was just wondering...have your fingers or toes ever turned a blueish hue when they were really cold? Have they ever gotten painful from being cold? Has a temperature change, like having cold feet/toes then going into a hot bath ever brought these symptoms on? When mine did, my doctor diagnosed Raynauds, which is commonly associated with rheumatic and...

    I had the same problem for over a year. I went to a all time low weight of 113 lbs because I was so afraid to eat. I would wake up the morning after I had a cup of cocoa and burp up pure cocoa without stomach acid. When I told my doctor about this he said it was "physiologically impossible" and emotional and sent me to a Psychologist. Apparently this disorder...

    Leidenschaft, glad you like the name. I posted the explanation at the gab room Janet

    I tried to search the boards to see if this has been posted anywhere, but was unsuccessful. So I'm posting the link here. This list has answered so many questions I have about products I have always used. It's handy pdf format, and 55 pages long. Thanks to the Wheaton Gluten-Free Support Group! Open Original Shared Link

    Hi, I'm new here and decided it's time to post. I've been lurking and reading for a few months now. I have multiple forms of arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, severe fibroid issues which has had me anemic for the past couple of years (so I'm on perscription iron supplementation). I also have restless leg syndrome (take Carnitore...
