IrishHeart replied to IrishHeart's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

ARCHIVED Gallbladder Issues?
IrishHeart replied to mommyof4's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Honestly, when I had mine out it was 1985 but as I recall, I was so sick, jaundiced and feeling so lousy for so long that YES! I felt better. -
Beebs, here is some interesting research on oats. Some people react to Avenin in oats. "There may exist a sub-set of celiacs who also have avenin-reactive mucosal T-cells, avenin being the oat counterpart to wheat's gliadin".

ARCHIVED Beer Here!
IrishHeart replied to bridgeofsighs's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hops are not sedative, according to my chemist hubs who has been brewing beer for 35 years. Secondly, I would not drink that. I read their statement (and how "their gluten intolerant friends" eagerly tested it and "took one for the team"--that probably means none of them are celiacs) but it did not satisfy me. Seems unlikely their process... -
Most celiacs tolerate oats. I read wait 2 years before trying them. (everyone has a theory) When it is described as a "gluten reaction", it means you may have digestive issues. It will not give you any neuro issues. Nothing I have read indicates that will happen, if that is your worry. And it certainly will not cause a gluten autoimmune response...

actually, when I first came on here, I read some of the beginning, some of the middle and... gave up. That's a lot of chatter!!! -
We have a PUR filter. No problems. I am just curious, but what makes you think there is gluten in a water filter? I have never heard of this before. (But when it comes to gluten, I am never surprised by what I learn.)

Well, I AM silly, granted---but to be a psilly...well.... That's special. Jumping in on this thread is like coming into the middle of a movie. :lol: or..like my improv class back in college. I have no clue what's going on, don't know who all the main characters are, no idea what happened in the first hour and there's no script to follow. -

oh, I think you can find 'em pretty easily these days. My neighbor "Carlotta" in Bahston had size 12 platform sandals. Now, that "girl" could dance. -
ARCHIVED A Joke For Today
IrishHeart replied to IrishHeart's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
oh, but That's because your state population has more "sophisticated" taste than the rest of the NE states. (nothing says tasteful like urine orange, yes?) I bet 1/3 of the houses in VT, NH, Maine, Mass and RI are white..... with green shutters. If you get drunk in Lexington, Mass. for example and try to find your house, you can't. (not that I have... -
ARCHIVED I'm Going Bonkers Over The Diificulties Of Celiac Disease!
IrishHeart replied to MikeOhio's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Be careful. You could be audited. You need to have HUGE medical expenses in addition to the gluten free groceries for this to work. Your medical deductions have to equal 7.5% of your income before you can deduct the first dollar. I have not heard of any celiac who has done this successfully. I have heard of two being audited the first year they tried.... -
