    BelleVie, Exedrin is asperin and kids can't take it.

    Last time I was in Bar Harbor I didn't have celiac so I'm no help to you, but I wanted to wish you a great vacation in one of the most beautiful places in America.

    I would be LIVID! Encouraging the kids to sneak something behind your back is the same as telling them they don't have to respect their Mom, because face it, nobody can sneak behind the back of someone they respect. If it were me, I would insist that he have a long talk with them, explain that he was wrong, and apologize to you IN FRONT OF THEM for what he...

    I have to be careful of rice because of corn contamination. (Some white rice is "polished" with corn, and I have a corn intolerance.) I started with stomach upset when I was eating brown rice so I switched to white rice a long time ago. I don't think it was the arsenic in the brown rice that was bothering me though. At that time almost EVERYTHING was making...

    I have palmoplantar pustular psoriasis. I have it on both my hands and my feet. As Jhol said, it doesn't itch TOO much, although I admit, the patches on my feet DO itch some, but it hurts just the way a whitehead pimple would hurt when you put pressure on it. After the pustules go down there is a red spot, then the skin peels. It hurts a lot when it peels...

    We'll be your support! I thought I was going to lose my mind a couple of years ago when I first went gluten-free, but the wonderful people here gave me the best advice and let me cry on their shoulders when I needed to. I learned so much and things got so much better. Mamaw gave you some great advice here. Just stick to plain whole foods for a while...

    I kept a food diary. I have been gluten-free for over two years now and for quite a while I only ate the same foods after figuring out which ones didn't hurt me. Now I have been adding foods back and I do so one food at a time, wait a week, then try something else.

    "I live in the last place to get anything" You've been living in my town all this time and we've never met??!!

    Plain whole foods are gluten-free. Meat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies and fruit. Think about it - most meals we eat consist of those things. The only difference is we don't have bread on the side. Rice is gluten-free too. Most ice creams are gluten-free if you want something for dessert. Ruffles Potato chips are gluten-free if you want a snack. Planter...

    Yeah, I know it's not the remedy you need right now, but I would think if they know which bugs made the mice gain weight, they could also isolate them for folks who are too slim.
  11. bartfull
    I just saw an interesting article suggesting that the type of gut bacteria we have makes all the difference. Certain ones make you gain and others make you lose weight. Open Original Shared Link

    Farmer's market. Buy some jalepenos. Buy some bell peppers. Buy some vinegar. Buy some corn starch. Puree the peppers, add some vinegar. Thicken it with the corn starch. Those are the only ingredients you need, unless you like the taste of polysorbate 60, propylene glycol, disodium EDTA, and all of the other crap they put in it. Honestly though, WHY...

    You should contact the AMA and let them know what these doctors are telling patients. They should be stipped of their licenses to practise!

    OK, then it's time to look into other causes. Have you had your thyroid checked? If I'm not mistaken thyroid problems can cause joint pain. And even though your doctor sounds like a jerk, he is doing right checking for RA, Lyme and lupus. Do you spend a lot of time outdoors or remember getting a tick bite? (Not that that makes any difference - I know a lady...

    And with your celiac in mind, you are much more likely to wash your hands more often which means you won't get as many colds.
  16. bartfull
    If you've been gluten-free for 2 years you will test negative on the blood tests and the biopsy. Your doctor should KNOW that. And both of them should know that you CAN'T eat a little bread once in a while. They are both idiots, IMO!
  17. bartfull
    I'm sorry you're in pain, and I'm sorry your doctor is such a jerk. So MANY of them are! (Check out the "Stupid stuff doctors have said" thread.) I'm thinking that maybe you are now eating more potatoes than you used to? I did at first because instead of sandwiches, I would eat meat and potatoes for every meal. Potatoes are a nightshade vegetabel (as...

    I wouldn't eat at a Perkins even before celiac. All of their food comes from the main plant. It all comes in frozen. Even things like a pot pie - the dough comes in frozen, and the filling is in a big plastic bag. They put it together and bake it, but they do no real cooking. That's why everything there tastes like a TV dinner - because basically, that's...

    I think you answered your own question - your metabolism DID change, partly from age, and a good part from quitting smoking. Even if you aren't digesting your food and absorbing nutrients, sugar goes into your system almost instantly, along with all of its calories.

    I don't have the bottles here so I'm not sure of the brands. But make sure the B12 is METHYL, not cyano. Methyl is the one most easily absorbed and is more active in the system. Just make sure whatever supplements you get are gluten-free.
  21. bartfull
    When I first started I took a sub-lingual B12 and a sub-lingual biotin. Actually I took them both 3 times a day. I had so much energy after a while that I couldn't sit still!

    Here's a good place to start and it comes from our own "home". Click on the links after each snippet of the articles listed. /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/Diabetes-and-Celiac-Disease/

    Your friend with "chronic fatigue" just might have celiac too. If you're really good friends, maybe you can ask her to try a gluten-free diet for a few weeks and see if she notices any improvement.
  24. bartfull
    You can order things online. Some folks save money that way.

    "I was excited to find a pancake mix enriched with B-vitamins." Tell us the brand! I have often wondered why ALL of the gluten-free substitutes aren't enriched with vitamins. If my Udi's had more vitamins instead of just empty calories I know I would eat a lot more of it.
