ARCHIVED Today's My 1-Year Anniversary Of Coming Down With This Thing!
IrishHeart replied to gatita's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'd call it : Happy NEW life!! hugs, IH ( P.S. I am not a doctor, but you sure sound like NCGS to me. Anyone who cannot tolerate a gluten challenge is deemed that in an article written by Dr. Fasano) BTW, did you have classic allergy testing--skin prick tests? maybe that would clarify it? Has your brother read this?? Open Original Shared... -

IrishHeart replied to Ciel121's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

Legs still work after dancing my face off for hours. whoohoo! My cousin made sure we GeeFReers had apps (shrimp cocktail, crudities, cheese platter) but I just had a cocktail (i had Crunchmaster... -

ARCHIVED Dental Cleaning Products
IrishHeart replied to durrsakja's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There are many threads on this topic on the site and the majority of us have researched the products, talked with dentists and hygenists (mine looked them all up for me before I even asked) and we find it is not an issue. Personally, I ask for plain pumice just because I am not a big fan of mint -flavored anything in dental cleaning products. Just me... -

ARCHIVED Dandy Blend Coffee Substitute
IrishHeart replied to Ciel121's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
"Dr. Clark" is a chiropractor posing a theory, hon...not a celiac expert. So, no, sorry---- I do not give him much credence. I'm a retired English Professor myself We like to provide links to reputable sites on c.com so newbies can find reliable and solid information. Sorry you are not finding the friendly support here that so many people do... -

ARCHIVED Rustic Pizza Crust ....napoli Herb
IrishHeart replied to IrishHeart's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Agree. I just prefer a soft chewy crust and I can get that if I make my own. I was disappointed with this crust because all my toppings were superb....but they fell through the crust. Oh well.... I will try anything once! -
ARCHIVED Rustic Pizza Crust ....napoli Herb
IrishHeart posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Horrid..... just Horrid. Tastes terrible, broke apart on my oven rack (&# *^$&^%!) and spilled cheese everywhere, so thanks a lot, you wankers! Total waste of money. I only used these shelf-stable crusts because someone gave them to me to review. (and sorry you spent the $$, sweet friend) Okay, so I am reviewing: Honestly....do not... -

IrishHeart replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
there is enough cheek to pinch...facial or gluteal LOL I am sure I sent you the HH info, because anytime someone I care about has chronic pain and inflammation, I "go there" in my head (as does My Ski Lisa) but if not, you're getting it (again, probably) via email. Dinner tonight: Rustic pizza while I pack a "to go" bag of clothes and food... -
ARCHIVED Reflux
IrishHeart replied to SBlack's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had acid reflux so bad for over 12 years. My entire GI tract burned from mouth to rectum. Not kidding. I would "spill acid" back up into my throat which felt closed and burning like mad. I did not want to eat at one point and even water hurt. No meds helped. I can report to you that it is GONE!!!! but it took awhile (maybe 10 months? and I had... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Get The Bone Aches?!
IrishHeart replied to eers03's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I hate to state the obvious solution, but what the heck.....how about you PUT a post- it on your bathroom mirror saying: "DUDE...Take your Vit D!!" -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
IrishHeart replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
if it matters, that's what I would do. (walnuts and vinegar are HH, and I knew that when I suggested things to you.... but if you did a tiny bit, you should be ok!). -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
IrishHeart replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'd chunk it over field greens, sprinkle with candied nuts and maybe some vinaigrette. Eat it with pears. I'd also make a mini "cheesecake" muffin with it (sub gluten-free flour, obviously). http://foodandspice.blogspot.com/2009/07/blueberry-goat-cheese-muffins.html I'd eat it by the tablespoon or on a cracker or try this compote... -

Throwing a wobbly ...why that's just A fantastic expression, MW In New England, we call it "having a s$#& fit" or "throwing a nutty", "popping a cork or popping a gasket"...or just plain "I'm friggan pissed"..(not to be confused with pissed as in drunk, but pissed as in really super mad) ....although I did hear this new one today on Gdude...she... -

Now, this is a perfect example of the beauty of the English language, (but first...a hug for your boo-boo and your ensuing "strop") Darling girl, please tell the dinner peeps what "getting over your strop" means. (I know, but they may not) It's a fabulous word!! Hopefully, you have dodged the bullet. And for the love of mike, have them eat... -
ARCHIVED "it's All In Your Head!"
IrishHeart replied to bartfull's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Megzydee, I appreciate your kind words and yes, I am still healing, but I have come so far and I am grateful for every day. I am not at all the sick and dying woman I was. I was able to return to the gym after 2.5 years of rehabbing my wasting painful muscles and it feels good to be able to do "normal things" once more! I am sorry that you, too... -

ARCHIVED Private File Store On Site
IrishHeart replied to powerofpositivethinking's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
me too. I keep links to celiac centers and Pub Med articles, wesbites like Shelly Case, etc. bookmarked or articles and posts saved in my "drafts" on my email server or in word ....and do a lot of "cutting and pasting" instead of typing things over and over and over. That got tiring.
