    Can I add a question here? What would everyone's favorite grinder be? For large amounts? and for small amounts (1-2 cups)? (Hope you don't mind me sneaking in this question .)

    I bought it.. and I haven't had a reason to try it.. and I am too scared to experiment. If I do... I'll yell.

    I homeschool too albeit in an isolated environment with only a handful of families within 50 miles. However I agree with all the above.. homeschool families do a lot of research into everything so it isn't unusual to see them researching any anomaly in their experience and then apply problem solving.. hence discovery of gluten issues. The reason I am...

    Open Original Shared Link and then there's Wizard's Gluten Free... which isn't as good as Lea and Perrins but I am quite happy with it for Caesar Salads.

    I am just commiserating with you.... I have just spent 3 days putting a letter together spewing my anger at the doctors here who have ignored me for years. (not that I will send it) But.. I know it is part of the grieving process, you know, denial , anger , let's make a deal please God , depression , and .. acceptance . It's hard. (I think...

    That's cool...new maps to try! Our next brain exercise will be.... Assemble the Human Analogue - (I couldn't find one online...) How about this..? Open Original Shared Link (ooops, back to the psillies....)

    I find when my iron levels are low, even though I am tired, I can't sleep - and since iron deficiency is common with having Celiac, it could be a part of the puzzle..?

    Hi from Southwest prairies..wheat and oil. Gluten free for 9ish months. Discovering other food issues now.. like soy and dairy. (but feeling a thousand times better than before)

    I have a friend here that has something similar. Her problem has to do with the sphincter muscle that leads into the stomach. Hers was so tight she had surgery to cut it enough to loosen it.. which changed the foods she was able to eat. Hers was so bad(tight) that, in the end, she couldn't get Ensure down and sometimes water. Initially it was foods...

    And it would be ALL GLUTEN FREE!!! :D

    You have to, of course, keep us posted and let us encourage you along the way.... I hope he turns into a BIG SURPRISE.. you know, all of a sudden the lights go on.... and he realizes how precious you are and that this matters!

    Glad people enjoyed!

    This is intriguing me.. I never knew I cared . Firstly, I want to go to your class.. (that sounds awesome) or any class but we live in a small town so.. no go but.. second, buy that book and start to experiment. You know, I never really cared about cooking before .. don't know why.. but NOW it matters! Thanks for the advice.. (I know why...I had a nominal...

    I wish they would do all the countries... that would be fun.

    I've been gluten free since July and it was a process.. I think I would say I have really gotten everything out by Christmas. All my extracurricular gluttening has been exhaustion, C (really bad C) and grey complexion and circles around my eyes. If it's really bad I feel sickish. The 'sleep attacks' used to happen when I ate whole meals of gluten but...

    Whenever I read your posts, Love2travel, I fall apart drooling.. (and others too.. but especially these...) If I made this, it would read - chicken potatoes and carrots cornbread (never cooked a leek in my life) and that's how it would taste too... It's a good thing people post meals.. it makes me want to learn to cook..

    Costco has an awesome cracker called Crunchmaster that is VERY tasty!! but, generally,.. there is a shortage of snacks IMHO. Hear hear!! I totally agree.. I am amazed, reading back over this, how many friends and family go into denial about whether wheat can cause issues, and the extent to which people go to 'ignore' (I will not call it abuse...

    You know how sometimes you can't really speak to an issue though it is familiar..? THIS is NOT one of those times... THIS IS ME.. before going gluten free. And yes, you can react that fast. I lived with this for years, eating and then, an hour or 2 later, almost passing out from the need to sleep. It would almost feel like I had been drugged. And at...

    That's what I am having... first time posting here because I am not very creative... BBQ steak (it's a smokin 36 F outside.. time to break out the barby) and caesar salad... yum!

    They won't bite... unless you roll in raisins first... then they mistake your finger for a raisin. Which brings up a gluten question (anybody else got hideously dry skin)...oh, wrong thread..
  21. etta694
    You mean....lots like this??? :lol:

    I tried to post this yesterday.... fail... that's what the was... don't know how to back out of a post. This is Chilli.. eating a Cheerio donut.

    Now that I am gluten free things move along pretty good but when I need to - stool softener and a fibre laxative (got at Walmart). LOTS of water, salads and veggies.... and massaging my abdominal area when I go to bed also relaxes the muscles (which are always sore) and helps things move.

    I read back a ways and you are still waiting for blood results and a possible endoscopy to schedule for you, right? I am a fly on the wall... I would love to see you just go gluten free. I know that would screw up the biopsy if you need one but... this story is so familiar. Symptoms and distress, doctors and tests that say "You are fine... everything...
