ARCHIVED A Joke For Today
IrishHeart replied to IrishHeart's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Bob was in big trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife of forty years was really pissed. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!" The next morning, Bob got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and... -

Yeah, sorry honey, they do not guarantee those products. Shake it off. We all make mistakes. Chobani tastes better anyway ! -
ARCHIVED A Joke For Today
IrishHeart replied to IrishHeart's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am putting this here in case you guys missed it. A man sees a sign outside a house - 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden. The man sees a very nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" he asks the dog. "Yes," the Labrador replies. After recovering... -

ARCHIVED Need A Recipe For A gluten-free, Soy Free Tartar Sauce
IrishHeart replied to CarolinaKip's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Use LOVE2's recipe link but to skip a step, and save time, I use Hellman's canola oil mayo. It is very good for jar stuff!! and no soybean oil (yaay!) Lea and Perrins's worcestershire is gluten-free and soy free. The mustard and hot sauce should not have soybean oil either. As you can tell, I have been avoiding soy myself for a long time... -
ARCHIVED Advice On Re-Glutening
IrishHeart replied to parmeisan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You took that part out of context. She said "If your symptoms resolve and then return when you go back on gluten for the challenge, then many doctors think a biopsy is not necessary." And I am sure ROSETAPPER meant the symptoms resolve IN TIME. A few weeks being gluten-free is not an adequate assessment for anyone to tell if the gluten-free diet is truly... -

ARCHIVED Advice On Re-Glutening
IrishHeart replied to parmeisan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You are resolved to do this thing, and I am not trying to talk you out of it. But, if you have done all the reading, then surely you know that no one heals immediately. I did not have immediate relief. I am 18 months in and I STILL have symptoms to resolve. (this is what happens when someone goes undiagnosed for so long) I have not met a single... -

The WIFE is worse. Her truck is louder, her mouth bigger, her gut and arse fatter and her language saltier. When they moved in, she told me "we ain't having kids", so no worries about " them runnin around "...(good to know they aren't passing on those genes, I guess?) meanwhile, they have tons of "kids" here are the time, only they are in the 20s and... -
ARCHIVED Advice On Re-Glutening
IrishHeart replied to parmeisan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
5 months? what the hell is your doctor thinking? A positive blood test would be enough of a diagnosis for me. (if they are as accurate as they claim, what's the point?) I would never be able to withstand a gluten challenge. I cannot imagine doing that to myself. And yes, GOOD doctors like Dr. Fasano have flat out said the biopsy is no longer... -

Hon, you could have bathroom issues for a while yet. You're still early in the game here. You'll get it all figured out!! Do as Jess suggests, peel the nightshades and see it if helps. Two thoughts if the " big D" (man, I get tired of typing out diarrhea ) continues: dump dairy for a while and take probiotics. And kudos for keeping your...

Other people in this little town have tried doing this, according to the woman who works in the town hall. This is a very rural area and the Sheriff takes about 20 minutes to get here. By the time someone comes to check out your complaint, they are off the road. You can ride these things on your own property, so that's what they do. They stopped coming... -

ARCHIVED Acid Reflux
IrishHeart replied to KMMO320's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
What kind was it? Some people have problems with products manufactured on shared equipment or in a shared facility (I am one of those) but MANY have no issues with this whatsoever. Chobani is certified G F FAGE is safe and (I believe) Yoplait is safe. Store brands may be a problem. OR you could also be lactose intolerant, which can... -

ARCHIVED Acid Reflux
IrishHeart replied to KMMO320's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't be sorry! This is the place to rant, cry, or complain. Let me just say this to you. Celiac disease is not something YOU caused by "eating the wrong foods". How could any of us have known? It is a hereditary autoimmune disease. You did not CAUSE it and you did nothing wrong. If you have it, it is not the end of the world. When... -

Sorry the bunnies are so destructive. The ones on my property must be weeded out often enough by predators so they are not as destructive or overwhelming. (and I did not think you were a bunny monster at all. I do know what damage they can do. ) I have an equally obnoxious "critter" problem that is threatening to destroy my 7 acres of paradise.

ARCHIVED Acid Reflux
IrishHeart replied to KMMO320's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had no idea either. I was told it could not be celiac. It was "just GERD" and "IBS" they said. I was given tons of meds to try. No help at all. My entire GI tract was in flames. My tongue, mouth, throat, chest, stomach, right down to my rectum --just BURNED. I lived in agony. They were wrong, as it turned out. It was celiac. I have not had... -
My Mom went gluten-free after I figured out what had made me so ill for years and was DXed FINALLY.(I was 53 and had suffered symptoms for 25 years, the last of those 3 being just horrific. I was, essentially, dying). She read all the literature I sent to my family members and when she saw my genetic test results ( which showed BOTH parents also have...

ARCHIVED Afraid To Say It Out Loud
IrishHeart replied to bartfull's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My doc says all celiac-related inflammation that produces pain can go away as long as there is no other pathology involved. It is what I hang my hopes on. For all you have done to help others in need, you are truly generous in spirit and perhaps now your body is relaxed and you will continue to get better and better and that pain will resolve entirely...
