    Thanks so much, hon! You're inspirational too ---as I know what you have done to get you and your family feeling well! xx

    WHOOHOO! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The strangest "mixed blessing" I can report is that while eating so much spinach, tomatoes, fish, avocado, strawberries, etc, I learned I have a histamine intolerance...I know, how is that a whoohoo exactly ? --well, this is actually good news as both SkiLisa and I have it and we both researched it and we have compared...

    I came back to say some more about the gluten-free goodies, but I see Gee Eff in Dee Cee has already graciously provided his super-duper post for newbies -and I love him for it. Saves me a bunch of typing and it covers all the bases! Thanks, Gee Eff!.

    Well, you have a full cheerleading squad here if you need the support. Honestly, there's no harm in following a gluten free diet as long as you get enough fiber from other protein sources and if you feel better, that's all that matters, IMHO.

    Congrats, Shroom! ---you prompted a full -on laptop drool this morning. (we don't need it either in this house, but it is good to indulge, yes?)

    I have come to the conclusion that our relatives have to be pushed to wall as we were. Dying... or so bad they cannot stand it anymore. sigh

    well said, Chill ... well said!! Either way,DX or not, the important thing is healing and feeling better than we have in years. (and yes, my "official DX" has not really made my family members do anything about their own situation either..... .)

    II was not diagnosed until I was 53--so, about 30 years after I started exhibiting real signs--but only because I had to TELL my PCP doctor what I had (despite my falsely negative blood work and a botched endoscopy) and he agreed and .I finally found a celiac-savvy GI doc, but I was just about ready to keel over and die by then. My story is long (and boring...

    she was saving them for an "encore"!!! encore!!!

    I am so pleased for you "having a sunny moment" and I have to say.......... your post just made my day! I just had a similar discussion with another member about how we should never overlook the "little miracles" in our daily lives. With all you are going through and what you have endured, you see the simple joy in a delicious meal ---and ...

    Yeah, it's not pretty when I get all 3 year- old-ish....and, say! buddy 'o mine....technically it's tomorrow when we indulge...so, there's still time!! Wouldn't your gob drop open if I showed up on your doorstep tomorrow afternoon for teatime.
  12. IrishHeart
    yaay! and I agree--day 2 is always better for soup, stew, lasagne, whatevs.... Enjoy!
  13. IrishHeart
    Whew...that could have been cause for a kiddie uprising!! I'd have bawled my eyes out if you offered it, then said "sorry, none left". of course, I have put my yogurt in the freezer for a while and had "frozen yogurt"...sort of....

    Tonight's dinner: I've got a Turkey breast on the rotisserie spaghetti squash maybe some peas for a change? I am so proud of you, MW. You never wavered once in your resolve. (you know I had to mix it up a bit when I had to delete the high histamine foods, but you supported me too!) and so, I am very excited for you that you have reached your...

    Do not throw this kind of invite out to this crazy bunch....I just asked the hubs if he could do without me for a month as I looked at plane fares.... Lucky for you, he said "Not really".
  16. IrishHeart
    Hon, I think maybe you misunderstood what I meant. I am not saying you should eat things that make you sick! NO way!! I am saying that what she said was not "wrong" about some things. That's all. NO ONE should eat things that give them anaphylaxis!! I had terrible throat closing, choking, trouble swallowing and swelling in my face before...
  17. IrishHeart
    Oh hon, I love you madly, but .....absolutely not. No one--and I mean no one--- should live where it is MINUS anything. yeah! what she said! Cilantro makes almost everything yummy. I love the stuff. I grow it all summer. Girl, you make everything sound good--even on a restricted diet. And coconut oil loves you...
  18. IrishHeart
    Actually, hon IMHO, your dietician makes some sense. It is okay to add dairy back in if you want. Some celiacs can tolerate diary right away. Used to be, docs suggested 3-6 months. Now, it's "whenever you want to try it." The vast majority of celiacs do not have trouble with corn or other grains ( if you do, yes, keep it out!!!).. And she's right...

    I have never seen foam like that. I have seen foam on the beach, but that is some pretty wild stuff. And yes, MW I am practicing my dolphin.....and all the lights are on. I could probably guide a jetliner in at this point. Maybe be mistaken for a lighthouse...... (ever see the Brenda Blythen movie w/Craig Ferguson "Saving Grace"...the lights they have...

    No no no, sweets....I sent it East...towards NE and out to sea, one hopes. Supposed to be 50 here tomorrow. I'll believe that when I see it..
  21. IrishHeart
    Shroom, what's with the foam down there? saw it on the news....
  22. IrishHeart
    seriously....I need some sunshine and I need it bad.

    Pink sneet indeed!--that would be grand! Thing 1 and 2 could lend a hand. To wash it all away from sight. But feets of snow upon the jeep requires more--it is too deep! We need canana boyz with might. Shovel here and shovel there... behold! the driveway now is clear! and Addy chuckled with delight. I must be going mad you see to write such...

    Well, I am mourning the loss of the very cool show "Fringe" last Friday, but at least the powers that be had the decency to reward the loyal fans of 5 years with a satisfactory ending. Sorry, guys. It is nasty cold and gray here and sneeting (that's sleet and snow) and just plain ick...gawd, where's the freakin SUN????? Time for something different...
  25. IrishHeart
    Here's Ski now! there's one thing that remains the same...the student who takes great notes always did well in my classes. Dinosaurs like us always do just fine! My oldest student was 78. She was awesome and made me strawberry jam at the end of the semester. Enjoy the class and have fun! You keep amazing us all with your miraculous rebound and I...
