    message received and yes, no way that wetsuit would have come off, much less gone on....now, that would have been UGLY. and have caused quite a scene, possibly requiring a giant shoe horn....and some oil of some nature....

    SKI!! No scaring me while I'm traveling!!! Glad you're okay. xx Our Easter dinner was great. Can't beat eating in a restaurant owned by a fellow celiac. And her marble cheesecake--added another inch to my thighs. whoohoo! Monday night in the hotel room in NC was sandwiches. No nearby restaurant offerings made me feel comfy at all. But on...

    Oh sweet girl, I have just arrived home from being on the road for 3 days and I knew your tests were fast approaching and you've been heavily on my mind. You have every right to be concerned, but being anxious will just drain you. Think only positive thoughts, girlfriend!!. You know you always have my loving thoughts and positive energy sent your...

    Interestingly enough, I posted this exact same excerpt from Tricia Thompson's site (see my post above) and her conclusion is: that it is NOT a problem for celiacs. It appears the confusion may lie in what conclusions we celiacs may draw from the information available to us. And we should add that Scott's posted list has several footnotes, quantifiers...

    and Tricia Thompson, RD explains it as well: Flavorings & Extracts: Are They Gluten Free? I frequently am asked about the gluten-free status of ingredients, including natural flavor, smoke flavoring, extracts containing alcohol, and caramel. Natural Flavor According to the Food and Drug Administration the terms natural flavor, natural flavoring...

    You've had a LONG week, Lisa. Glad Mom is settled and you can breathe. You "did good", hon!xx Happy Easter, Everyone! Traveling home--a few days to go, but I thought I'd check in and tell you that dining out safely is absolutely possible while traveling. Kudos to the folks who "invented" Find Me Gluten Free and I will be adding my thoughts on that...

    Love, prayers, well wishes, good vibes, fingers crossed....I am doing all of it. I know full well the "adventures" of advocating for a parent. My poor Dad--if I only knew back then what I know now. sigh Take care of Lisa, too while you are being so strong for Mum. Hugs, kiddo. Call me anytime . xxoo.

    This was my path for years before DX. The fibro DX (which is a doctor's way of saying "you have pain I cannot explain and because it does not show up on any testing, I am giving up on you and giving you anti-depressants, muscles relaxers and neurontin. Now, get out.) Neurotin is essentially the same as Lyrica (gabapentin/pregabanin) and if you had no relief...

    Thank you for posting with such encouraging news for the newbs! We all say "hang in there" and "you can get those foods back someday", but it ALWAYS helps to have someone say "Look at me, I'm eating cheese (or some other food that gave them grief) again!! whoohoo!" . It took me almost 15 months to get back small amounts of dairy but I seem to have...

    Hey philly'smom! It seems overwhelming at first, but it gets easier, I promise. I know some celiacs eat the gluten-free Chex cereals: chocolate, cinnamon, etc. May I suggest the Newbie 101 thread in the Coping section to get you started? And a good book for you to read is Real Life with Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis and David Leffler It...

    "oh f--k! they float!!!!" ...... AND a new bike...thanks for the great way to start my day. So sorry about your Mom falling, though. and, yes. the combo of various bread heels worked well for my stuffing, too last Thanksgiving. Happy cycling!!

    I concur, Robin! SKI, my friend, Not in a gazillion years would I make that thing. I applaud you for your willingness to tackle anything. (in the kitchen or in the world) I thought making Dacquoise was the mother of all baking projects requiring gymnastics and patience, (or maybe rolling out layers of phyllo for baklava--OHMYGAWWWD--- you need...

    Holy smokes. Peter ducked in for dinner! Hi P!! They'll be awesome, Alex! Fingers crossed, but for me, ganache makes everything taste like... MORE!! I can smell it, too. Must be drifting over the ocean....... Well, the gang that stays here in the complex has invited us out to join them for dinner. I checked and the place has a gluten...

    Hooray for Mom coming home, Ski. Have a wonderful celebration! You're being creative again, I see: Cranberry-Strawberry Charlotte Rousse? Hooray for Sylvia dropping back in for dinner! (and we look forward to dinner at your place on our way home to NY!!) Sylvia has graciously invited us to stay--and has already planned what we are having for dinner...

    You're preaching to the choir, kiddo. . One should never, ever apologize for food snobbiness. I "get it" and I bet LOVE2 is nodding her pretty head enthusiastically in total, unashamed and unapologetic agreement.
  17. IrishHeart
    hmm, SKI ...seems strange they feel better in gluten-free land, huh?? ...hmmm....1 + 1 =2 I gave SYLVIA a shout out. Maybe she will pop her head back in. She is still on "here", just not on "here". I miss her sage words (and sharp humor) too. SYLVIA--get yer butt back in the dinner crowd. YO ADDY! You can make your own taco seasoning and...

    HI FINDING MY WAY What the ....&^%$! If I hear one more person say their doc said "it was only mild atrophy" or "you have mild celiac", I think my head will explode. Ask the doc if you can be "mildly pregnant". Hon, you're one of us. Welcome to the forum and please know we are here for you!

    you ain't kiddin' sister........ and plenty o' spaces for building a G F compound....

    ...now, that does sound exciting! mould clearing...wow....wish I lived closer so I could come and help! (just teasing --as I know laughter heals boo-boos) Up watching the sunrise and your post made me giggle.xx Going for some type of fish tonight (shellfish for the hubs) --we'll see what's fresh at the ironically named New England Fish Market nearby...

    She said "gluten was the least of our concerns". That begged a question, I felt ---about other food intolerance issues. This is a celiac forum, yes, but some people have other food intolerances as well. I had no idea it would go into a discussion about the ethical treatment of animals. I was polite in my replies, and it requires no more discussion, in...

    Actually, this is more than slightly off topic and inappropriate to the discussion, but, I think Adalaide addressed it sufficiently.
  23. IrishHeart
    MW OUCH!! I hate those noggin whacks. Are you okay?? Did you look like this when it happened? Poor babe. I have hit my head more times than I should admit. Open cabinets doors left open, misjudging the height/depth of something, that sort of thing. I blame gluten head. It has not happened in a while (I said that and then, spit for good luck as surely...

    I'm with Barty, Gem and Addy-- Hospitals and doctors. I lost respect for them. You all know my opinion of them, so I will not belabor it. I do not have phobias about them, just a healthy disrespect. I do admit...I have a "thing" about heights. I think it was because of the vertigo I had from celiac, maybe? oh....and clowns...what's...

    MJ-S I'm curious---what's wrong with Perdue chickens?
