  1. Deb- Dangerous Grains was published in 2002, so - yes, I'm sure the numbers have gone up since then. Good point Tiffany - How do I find statistics at pubmed? Everybody - What a scary post that was to make! I had glanced at those figures before, but never looked at them so closely. And as I went through the list I saw...
  2. Mary, I had night sweats too when I was doing the gluten-challenge. They seem to have gone away... of course, today is only my 3rd day gluten-free... Anyway, I don't think you are alone! - Michelle
  3. Please let me know if it would be worth my $5 to check this out for a month $5 is a lot of money, man! You could buy 1/2 a gluten-free brownie mix with that! If you have used this site before, or know someone who has, I'd love to hear your reviews. Thanks!! - Michelle
  4. Have you eliminated dairy products yet? That's a major source of mucous - which you may already know If so, please disregard this post and good luck finding out what's causing your troubles! - Michelle
  5. Magnus, Hi there. There is a book called "Dangerous Grains" that deals primarily with gluten intolerance & Celiac. I highly recommend it. I'm quoting the following statistics from Appendix D in the book: "Comprehensive List of Gluten-Associated Medical Conditions". There are 187 conditions listed, so you can just forget about me typing out the...
  6. Hello Hey, I'm sorry that I went off topic earlier but I did it for a reason. Too many people were getting hurt/upset/angry - and that's not good for *any* of us. I think that we need to try and lighten up every once in a while. There is enough pain in this forum already. I love you guys and absolutely agree that it can be irritating and hurtful...
  7. Hey everybody, I have a question: I have all these funky food allergies and I'm wondering if eating foods that I'm allergic to will prevent my intestines from getting better. Any thoughts? Even better - any references to medical literature? I just started this gluten-free thing and I'm having kind of a rough time figuring out what has *no*...
  8. mmm...gluten & Mangus, In response to the question, "How much gluten is too much?" and to explain why there is so much intensity over toothpaste, lipbalm & kissing on this forum - please read : How much gluten is in a normal diet, and how much does it take to cause damage in a celiac? The average gluten-containing diet contains roughly ...
  9. Thanks for making me laugh out loud, Mr. I'mNotGonnaBeGlutenFreeForLongAndYouCan'tMakeMe
  10. We could just drown him in the beer... There's enough of us! We could take 'im!!
  11. Nice image Stephanie
  12. Kamut? Can Celiacs have Kamut? What the hell is Kamut anyway? I think we should stick to toxic grains
  13. I was thinking about using barley actually (the grains are bigger)
  14. Congratulations Donna You deserve every victory you get
  15. I think we should stone 'im
  16. Getting a little touchy aren't you? Talk about thin-skinned
  17. First of all, are you *sure* that you only have occassional bowel problems as your symptoms of Celiac? Because I *never* would have guessed that I had any intestinal problems at all. I don't have diarrhea, constipation, or any of those other fun bowel problems. I do get heartburn after I eat grains, but other than that, I would have considered myself...
  18. celiac3270, You have been one of the most supportive, wonderful, intelligent, and kind people on this whole forum - and considering how amazingly wonderful everyone else here has been, that really says a lot. It still kinda freaks me out when I think about how old you are because you are so incredibly mature. I am sorry that you have deal with...
  19. My absolute favorite scrub - that I am literally addicted to - is Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub. It is gluten free according to the delphi list. The little scrubbing beads are also microspheres, which means that it will not cause the microabrasions that apricot scrubs do. I'm actually trained as a master esthetician and so I care a lot about...
  20. Andrew - Hello there I think that Kaylee is absolutely right about the dairy stuff. There's a really, really, really wonderful write up on food intolerances and how difficult it is to detect them at Open Original Shared Link It talks about how long the food stays in your system and how long it can take for problems to show up related to the foods...
  21. Good idea! Thanks celiac3270
  22. Hi guys, I am home and it went really well. Thanks for any positive vibes you may have sent me. It was completely painless and effortless and now it's over and I can go gluten-free! Yay! Life is wonderful Now I am going to go and pass out in my bed. I'm so so so sleepy! Thank you again for all of the sweet thoughts you...
  23. Hello Everybody, I just got home from the hospital where I had the biopsy this morning. It was unbelievably easy and painless. In fact, they had to tell me that they had already done it when I came to consciousness because I didn't feel a thing. I was told "conscious sedation" and had expected to be... conscious! But I absolutely wasn't. It was...
  24. Thank you all so much Please send me healing/happy vibes around 8:45 a.m. mountain time That's when I'll be having the procedure done and I will probably need them! No wait! Don't send them too me until after about 9:30a.m. mountain time - we don't want to screw up the biopsy labs Go ahead and send me nasty intestinal vibes earlier so that...
