    Hope you are having a happy birthday and a relaxing vacation, Scott. It's all quiet here!....right everyone? ...... shh, turn down that music. Watch out, you're spilling drinks on the carpet.

    Okay, you have fruit allergies IN ADDITION to a gluten problem --I see. That was not clear to me before this post. I thought you meant all food was "passing through you". Sorry. Losing food could very well be malabsorption, yes. IMHO I know how hard it is to feel this way and not be taken seriously. I think you are wise to have both procedures...

    Yes, that is what I was trying to say. But I see MUSHROOM has just posted, so I will not repeat it all.

    Tom, I did NOT discourage an endoscopy. I said she needs an endoscopy with BIOPSY so she can get an accurate DX. I agree she needs BOTH--colonoscopy and endoscopy with biopsy--if on the same day, all the better. I was trying to clarify that a biopsy will be a more accurate DX, that's all.

    I can also say this happens to me. That is exactly my "gluten tell". I follow the same pattern....I cannot sleep, I am "racy", pounding in my heart and in my head, I am "slow" and then, I feel pretty blue, somewhat anxious and I get quiet for a few days. (The gastro stuff is a "given". ) This is nothing like my personality and so it is a GIANT...

    yaay! Congrats, Momma!

    me, neither!!!

    I am trying to figure out how you can distinguish what x-gum tastes like in a mix? Or did you taste a plain old spoonful of it??
  9. IrishHeart
    You are starting out with the wrong attitude. Gluten free does not mean tasteless. I make a really good hamburger bun!

    No milk....my meatballs have A SPLASH OF 1/2 AND 1/2 THOUGH

    not bad info, honey!!...it IS grown on corn, but it also grown on other medium...synthetic included. Pleas see my post above.
  12. IrishHeart
    here is a rather "heady" discussion of X-gum Xanthan can be grown on SYNTHETIC medium---which is why a company can say it is "corn, wheat, dairy or soy free". My chemist hubs concurs Open Original Shared Link

    Me too! I will post mine....but I suspect Love2Travel's sauce (or gravy, as the Italian Bostonians say) is similar to mine?
  14. IrishHeart
    sorry, Shroomie.... I just got my tomato-and--citrus and -spicy foods--eating ability back after 3+ years.
  15. IrishHeart
    Do not be sorry. It is corn free--if the company says it is. There are other mediums that xanthan gum is grown on ---soy, wheat, etc---and not everyone with a corn issue will react to it. That is why when companies say "corn free" --they probably mean it. Think they would risk a law suit if someone with a corn allergy ate their products with...

    oh hon, you have so much to learn, but this thread is not the place...and Domino's gluten-free pizza is NOT the answer. It is not really gluten-free, for starters. There are gluten-free beers that are GOOD! Keep looking around the site and I promise you, you will find answers.
  17. IrishHeart
    please start here?
  18. IrishHeart
    No, hon...an endoscopy will NOT diagnose you....you need to be (1)eating gluten and (2) have a BIOPSY for a celiac DX. but you said you will not do this. This "fast loss of food"....This means you are not ABSORBING. Allergies are very different from food intolerances. **EDITED by IH 7/26/12

    I have never heard of a Pot roast with "injected solutions" that contain wheat. This is a disturbing thought....can you tell us what product this was.... so we will know? thanks!
  20. IrishHeart
    exciting is one word. :lol: should I "spill"?? the only caveat I have is....this sauce does not need to be cooked!! That ruins all the fresh flavors.
  21. IrishHeart
    Pasta Puttanesca (I have always loved the story behind this dish) It's full of bold flavors. The tomatoes, basil, & parsley from my garden...and ripe greek olives, garlic, EVOO, capers, anchovies...I do not even cook my sauce..it marinates in a bowl on the counter for a n hour or so. Just cook up the pasta and toss...outrageous.
  22. IrishHeart
    aw, thank you, sweets! My day will come, too! never say die. I am just glad you are okay!!
  23. IrishHeart
    First, you could tolerate the vitamins & now this!!! well, YEEHAW girl!! HEALING HAPPENS and you are rightfully celebrating! I am dancing for you on my front porch right now...look!...see me?? That's me doing the "yeah baby" dance... You mentioned HOPE...girlfriend, I LIVE on HOPE .... It is what sustains me. HOPE looks FORWARD...
  24. IrishHeart
    I can relate to that! A gluten challenge would kill me for sure. In that case, then you may not get a "proper" celiac DX...but if that does not matter to you, then go gluten-free and don't look back!
  25. IrishHeart
    me neither--my hubs found it...pretty neat, huh?? Good investment if you travel by car a lot.
