    I'm good now. I found a young one who knows what celiac IS. Talks WITH me, not AT me and always makes me feel like I am his only patient. RETURNS MY CALLS HIMSELF! (gasp!) But he is young enough to be my son. Which is fine, as I am not breaking in any new ones. I saw maybe 30 doctors? in 3 years--- and I'm done doc-shopping.

    well, some eye candy might take some of the irritation out of our frustrating doctor visits down here...

    I had intense bladder pain and urgency, pressure and aching in my abdomen. Went to the ER twice with it over the course of 6 months. Not a UTI. I was getting up many times during the night, only to produce ...nothing. I was tested, scoped, prodded, saw a urogynecologist, etc, etc. I had pelvic floor pain, abdominal pressure, just misery for 3 years. They...

    It does get better! You do not sound dramatic at all---your relief is genuine. I did the SAME thing when I came on here last year and saw RAVENWOODGLASS and others posting this same information and reassuring me that my symptoms were gluten-related and I would be all right in time. No doctors could tell me that. I had brain MRIs, EMGs and saw 3 neuros....

    oh yes.. and I walked sideways and banged into walls (had so many bruises) also, I had vertigo, blurry vision and I was hallucinating at times (I never told any one that until another celiac and I discussed it recently-- because I did not want anyone to think I was nuts--- but once she said it, I said YUP, me too) I felt like things were...

    I had this myself and virtually all those symptoms have disappeared after I went gluten-free. It took me several months for those and the other neurological symptoms to improve/lessen. They are pretty scary symptoms for sure. There are several threads on here that discuss gluten ataxia. Lots of us have suffered these symptoms. Look under "related...

    Turkey meatloaf with various herbs, braised shallots and brussel sprouts and garlicky smashed potatoes. I am on an elimination diet and it is getting old really fast.

    No shame here, hon! If anyone gets it, it's us!

    love it! I have always called mashed potatoes "smashed" since a child (they sound like they had a few martinis) but I have never heard of "crashed." I learn something new every day.
  17. IrishHeart
    ...alex, would those be VERY, VERY exhausted potatoes?
  18. IrishHeart
    thanks, cookie! I heart you. Happy V-day to you, dear girl...and Happy V day, Everyone! I am baking the buttery pound cake dusted with powdered sugar I meant to make the other night. Ran out of eggs. (I cannot have chocolate right now, damn!) so this is a sweet treat for my baby and me. It smells fab in my kitchen! Dinner for my sweet...

    I am LIMITING my time, honest! I had PT today and she said my mobility was greatly improved. okay, okay I'm done. The timer went off and so I have to stop, even if I am mid wo
  20. IrishHeart
    (snort) I AM. I am ONLY answering PMs, skype calls and a few select thread posts. Barely 30 mins. today! (as opposed to my usual 3 hours. )
  21. IrishHeart
    crackpot I told you before and I mean it...dessert before dinner is always a good idea! May I ask you to share that coffee cake recipe? I am stockpiling recipes for when I can eat more things. (when I had laryngitis once, my hubs joked it was the most quiet week we ever had in our house. ) Hope you feel better soon!
  22. IrishHeart
    sounds Fab! (insert drooling icon here) and I love your sig quote

    CHEESE... It is some bad cosmic "screw you" that I should have celiac and (hopefully my fingers-crossed temporary) lactose intolerance together...because freshly made bread and cheese were my two favorite taste sensations. Give me some pinot grigio or champagne with a hunk of each of those and I was in a trance of happy-dom.... ah the good old days.....
  24. IrishHeart
    That's what I'm talking about! Sneak them in! I am enjoying reading about your children's tastes and aversions...as there was no pickier eater --especially when it came to vegs-- than I was. Horrible pest to my parents. I ate corn, that's it. I would sit at the table, my plate still in front of me all alone in the kitchen, long after dishes were...

    Not really my fav, but it is hubs. I use frozen broc (in winter when there is no fresh available), micro for 2 mins. with a little water, and chop it up nice and tiny. Cover it with enough cheese and she may not notice? It's just my excuse to get in a vegetable serving. Like bloody mary's use to count for one veg --or two--if I had a celery stalk in it...
