    Hon, I tell you straight: Vigilance is one thing, paranoia is another. Be careful, but do not live in fear.
  2. IrishHeart
    well, that's an interesting theory even though you know full well calories are calories, whether you sneak them slowly or not. I just eat my half of the container on Sunday night and I'm happy..

    nope. If I ate gelato every night, I'd be ginormous.I have to be a little restrained. I have gained enough weight, thanks.
  4. IrishHeart
    it's fine.!

    You're doing great. You can use new wooden spoons, just do not use it for say gluteny pasta, then use it for hers. Mom, Please try and relax a bit about all this. You know full well that kiddos pick up on what we say and do, so if you calmly make this the "new normal". she will be cool with all of this. I tell little girls I have met with celiac...

    Furthermore, I find this type of article "alarmist" and inappropriate. The articles come through the website --anything that is related to "gluten" and "celiac" floating around out there is on a constant media loop. so to speak. They run the gamut from blog articles to fluff pieces to book reviews to recipes to actual published medical literature...

    Holy smokes! what company was that??? to answer the original question--some people have no problem with "shared facilities" because the companies do take great steps to flush the lines. If they can explain the process to me (like someone at Ghirardelli did once) then I am cool with eating their products. That said, In general, if I see "made on...

    Belle Vie If I may say something here? Washing your hands takes care of the problem. Gluten does not adhere to things like a "film", hon. Even if I walked into an entire room of 150 3 year olds eating crackers, sammies and cookies, I would feel comfortable just washing my hands, brushing off my clothes and not worrying that I had been glutened. ...

    oh dear gawd, that's me....the hubs starts with the jibber jabber and I just tell him what I have told him from the very first day he introduced me to using the internet "oh babes, all I'm hearing is "blahdey blahdey bloop and yer making my eahs hurt (still have heavy Boston accent emerge when I am agitated --and I mean agitiated in both good and bad...

    I concur, IMHO.

    Diana Read the entire article. No references. That number came from where exactly? scroll to the bottom of the "article" It's an ad for people to be part of a drug research study. It's not a fact that 60% of celiacs do not heal. .
  12. IrishHeart
    *sigh" well, I did read your whole post and my answer is the same. It's only been two weeks, but you were smoking and eating gluten until that time, so why wouldn't your gut be irritated still? My point is, it may not be a particular food, but your gut. See what the Gi doctor says. If you need to eliminate grains, check out the Paleo websites...
  13. IrishHeart
    okay, here's a radical thought. Instead of trying to figure out what FOOD is the problem, consider that you keep irritating your GI tract with things you are smoking? STOP SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON WEED Yeah, I know how much it costs and it's not as cheap as it was when I was your age so unless you are growing superior buds in a hydroponic garden you...

    Oh come now, I doubt you've heard "everything" yet. you're still young.

    and furthermore, I lost nearly 100 lbs. without "calorie counting or exercise". It's called malabsorption. He calls it "self-quantification"?
  16. IrishHeart
    According to those test kit sites, antibodies are high when you are consuming a food, so if you do not have any showing for wheat, it is because you have been "gluten Free". So, unless you have been eating rye bread, you should not show high antibodies to the food. That's assuming these tests are valid. I do not know how to say this but "food intolerance...

    I cannot eat eggs plain ( like fried or scrambled, etc) but I can tolerate them in baked goods. Never could get a straight answer from the allergist about why, but I suspect it's the manner of cooking at high heat that affects the chemistry of the protein. (This topic was written about recently in Living Without magazine, so I am not just making that...

    Same here!

    And I keep telling Love2 that May will be here before she knows it. And soon, she will be living in her Paradise. Yaaay!! I hate to report this, because I am not trying to be a wiseguy-- honest-- but every day is a lovely sunny 80-something (NO humidity) and the lows are 71.
  20. IrishHeart
    Not alone at all! I figured out this issue after things did not improve for me, reading as much research as I could find and by talking with Ski, and we compared notes.
  21. IrishHeart
    seriously, how do you "lower your biological age" exactly?
  22. IrishHeart
    But this article is referring to diarrhea that comes on right after surgery and explains why the diarrhea may continue. "Although there isn't a set gallbladder removal diet, the following tips may help minimize problems with diarrhea after you've had your gallbladder out: Go easy on the fat. Avoid high-fat foods, fried and greasy foods, and fatty sauces...
  23. IrishHeart
    If your gall bladder is diseased, that is when you cannot digest fats. I eat all manner of healthy fats without issues. Most people won't experience digestive problems after cholecystectomy. Your gallbladder isn't essential to healthy digestion. (those are not just my words, that's the Mayo clinic talking) I have no gall bladder (since 1985) and...
  24. IrishHeart
    ok... here is one of the presenters. I saw her in an infommercial today as I flipped through the channels. Not sure what it has to do with celiac or medically necessary gluten free diet hOpen Original Shared Link and out of curiosity, I looked up this guy Dave and found The Financial Times described Dave as a “bio-hacker who takes self-quantification t...
  25. IrishHeart
    An enlightened doctor may give you a celiac diagnosis based on his medical history, his sister's C D diagnosis, his improvement on the diet and the gene test. . If a doctor asks you to feed him gluten for a few weeks to put him through testing for a diagnosis---he's going to be going by the book, I'm afraid. It's your call, of course.(but I know...
