    Hello girls. This is irishheart's mom. She has been sent to her room for being a wise ass. She is making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. I know she puts cheese in there. and just so you know, she burned the bottoms of the granola cookies. But they are still good with tea. That was really her. Honest! lmao they are not...

    and yet, as i was waiting to get in to see Dr. F's speech last week, I heard this convo; Lady #1: I get sick of companies that label something G F when it isn't. Lady #2: me too. You know those talenti ice creams? well, my daughter got sick on those. Irish who knows better than to open her big fat celiac advocate mouth, but can't help herself: Unless...

    I lost 90 lbs. before DX. I was thin, gaunt, weak and lost major muscle mass. It was not good at all. I did not gain a lb after DX . until 15 mos. later. Then, I gained a bunch. Then, a bunch more. I was glad to be able to hold food in and to enjoy eating again. i never saw it coming. It's not my thyroid. It's my body saying "yaaay! i am absorbing...

    The amazing thing is, her hair always looks perfect: a lovely shade of white, super clean, soft and beautiful. It's a total mystery to us all. lmao

    I am not sure if Fenway has any gluten-free stuff. Maybe Gemini knows. The Mets' CITIFIELD has a gluten free snack bar. They sell gluten free dogs, burgers, sausages, I believe. I saw it last summer. ( I say that I "saw it" and did not sample anything from it because I admit, I was too full from breakfast at Freidman's where I ate a G F bagel and...

    In addition to what Karen has posted, many celiacs require follow up care beyond regular checkups (blood work, other GI testing, referrals to an endocrinologist, possibly and also a dietician if needed) and a diagnosis will get you that easier than no diagnosis. I am not the "norm" but I needed physical therapy, bone DEXA scan and follow up with a neurologist...

    Seriously, enough hair spray every day and you could bounce a dime off that hair. I used to tease her when she wore her hair piled on top of her head...you know, like a french twist in the back, but curls piled on top--that birds were nesting in there. lmao Pork chop surprise --why that's one of my favorite things! lol I know you probably want...

    Allergies are not the same as food intolerances. The symptoms are very different and may involve anaphylaxis. Celiac disease is not a gluten allergy, even though many people (incorrectly) use that phrase. It is an autoimmune disease. Allergies are IgE -mediated and you should see an allergist/immunologist for testing (although those tests are considered...

    oh, I have tons of stuff lined up to keep her happy and engaged. LOL and one of those neck buckwheat pads..is for her. Look it up ..she has Chiari-malformation and yes, I have found links to celiac disease. I have 2 cousins with it and one cousin's child was operated on for it.They all could use heat pads. I have mine on right now. Oh, and 2 others...

    SO glad to hear my Lucy Ricardo twin is recovering nicely. well, last night we had a pinot grigio and a pizza with BACON, toms, 3 cheeses, roasted garlic, sauteed portabellas, peppers and shallots and holy cow that was fabulous. And I tolerated ALL of it! whoofreakinhoo! Tonight, I am making Mongolian beef and fried rice (loookout PF Chang's!!)...

    And some of us "veterans" hang around to "pay it forward" to the newbs. We just can't help ourselves. Could be the "mother hen" syndrome.

    Good, now your thighs can expand like the rest of ours did. The housework can wait, young lady. You are still healing. A story: My mother worked long hours. We all had chores to do to help around the house. We all knew how to run the washing machine and hang clothes up (no dryer) We all had to set the table or dry the dishes, vacuum, or take...

    As my wise daddy always said "this too shall pass, baby". I "ain't worried" about nuthin. We had scallops and hogfish snapper, risotto and sauteed baby spinach (and about 3 tito's.) I feel great right now

    I have a histamine intolerance because of lack of an enzyme called DAO in my gut. I hope it resolves entirely in time. My GI doc seems to think it will. He's been right about everything else in my recovery process so far, so I believe him! I have noticed that I am able to eat more foods with high histamine in them during the past few weeks (yaay!) and...

    I doubt the pan is the issue. As long as it is clean and not scratched, it's impossible for anything to leave a residue. What kind of "reaction" did you have? I have a histamine intolerance and broccoli is not a high histamine food. It is difficult to digest as are other cruciferous veggies.

    You could read his new book. It's in there. he says he cannot account for the rare ones. Not sure anyone can. Read Dr. Green's Book. It's in there, too. Read the paper from the World Gastroenterology meeting. It's there, too Open Original Shared Link Read every REPUTABLE celiac site. They all say the same thing. When you say "I cannot believe...

    It is impossible to be glutened just walking down the bread aisle in the supermarket. SERIOUSLY, how is this possible??? IT ISN'T!!! Does the bread leap out of the package and force itself unto your mouth, you swallow it and ....the autoimmune response starts ??? Come on.....let's be reasonable here.

    Barty, I love you honey. And that is beside the point. The quote posted inside that old thread does not show Dr.Fasano saying anything different back then than what i heard him say just 4 days ago. I am telling you all exactly what this man said--a leading celiac specialist ,,,.and when there is new info, we can discuss that at some point. The...

    125 what.... of zinc? the recommended amount of zinc per day is 8 mg the "upper" amount for adults is 40 mg if your D is low...the amount to dose varies from 1000 ius per day to 5ooo ius per week depending on your level. you shouldn't just dose these things without guidance, hon.
