    My mom called Hunt's . . . . they said that there is no gluten in ANY of their tomato products, including their ketchup . . . don't know if that helps or not. . . . .

    I'm just waiting for someone who googled it to tell us what in the world it is . . . . too tired to google anything today!

    That's the only way I made my kids' Halloween costumes. I would simply make them lie down on a piece of newspaper that was taped together to be their entire BODY, placed on the floor, then mark their whole body! Then, I would make marks where I wanted specific things to be placed. Then, measured some circumference things (arms, legs, waist, whatever I...

    Don't know if your children are gluten-sensitive, but there are several soy milks on the market that contain gluten . . . found out the hard way, after the dietician told me . . . . I know I'm kind of 'chiming in on the end', but just wanted to make sure they didn't get 'glutened' if they're intolerant . . . .

    Lisa -- I have a VERY funny story about that . . . will have to e-mail it to you!!!!! It's not horrible, by any stretch, and certainly wouldn't offend anyone . . . if it's okay with you guys, it's okay with me . . . it's just about me sticking my foot in my mouth (as if I have never!) years ago . . . .

    I'm from Louisville, KY. Had to laugh . . . I e-mailed the support group here in February, and finally got a response in June . . . . don't know if I'm interested in going or not.

    Okay, I see how it is. . . . ply me with trips to Sephora . . . see ya tomorrow!!!!!

    Thank you SO much for starting this thread. I had no idea that sulfites were considered O.K. for organic produce. NOT good. My mother is HIGHLY reactive to sulfites (I'm sorry that I didn't see the previous thread.) She starts with bloating in her lower abdomen, which then goes up to her upper abdomen. She literally has to hold her stomach while she...

    Boy, howdy does it have an effect on the Central Nervous System! I have "Gluten Ataxia" -- the Perkinje cells in the cerebellum rely on gliosis for their nutrition . . . Unfortunately, one of the proteins on the Perkinje cells strongly resembles gliadin. The Antigliadin antibodies, in my case, have attacked these proteins. So it's as if I have small "shorts...

    Ain't it the truth?????

    Hi Betty . . . did they remove any polyps? I had a couple of sore places where they removed polyps for about a week or so. Now, for the gas issue . . . Okay, folks, remember I treated women's health, so I have some bizarre tips : Get on all fours, bend your elbows, and keep your butt up in the air. The gas is lighter than the air, and will...

    First, Moongirl, thanks for taking the time to check on Bath & Bodyworks and for posting their response. I love their stuff, and have really missed it. (Especially since they had that $5 sale a couple of weeks ago -- ouch!) With regard to just listing them . . . I really DON'T know why they don't. My only theory is this: They don't monitor the...

    I think you're on the right path. I'm negative for everything except antigliadin antibodies, which, according to my neuro doc, were "outrageously high". Played a number on my brain, let me tell ya. Good idea to get re-tested. They're finding more and more that Celiac doesn't necessarily mean just gut anymore . . . my neuro still says I have Celiac, even...

    I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Estrogen or Progesterone increase. When you're initially pregnant, you get a huge rush of progesterone . . . in order to sustain the embryo. That, combined with an increase in estrogen, causes the breast enlargement and tenderness. Noticed that myself, and I was using Estrogen cream. After going gluten-free...

    Hi Erica -- I'm so sorry you're having difficulties. I know that it's cold comfort, but you're not alone . . . all of us, at one time or another, have had difficulty with starting the diet, adapting to the cooking, worrying about family, cross contamination, and on and on and on . . . . I think that it's actually part of the process of fully accepting the...

    Jen, I'm almost GLAD we don't have one yet!

    I have a copy of the delphi list . . . if you want it, just PM me, and I'll send it to your e-mail address. Lynne

    YES! I have "word-retrieval" dysfunction, according to my testing . . . at least I know now WHY I can't get the right words lately . . . it is SO frustrating. Have you tried the tinted mineral veil? It's in the summer gift thing-y. NICE. I really like it! We only have Ulta here . . . and boy, is my husband glad. When we were in Mall of America...

    One of the main differences in Rosacea vs. Lupus with regard to the facial rash is that Rosacea causes redness throughout the butterfly area, including the nasolabial folds. With lupus, the nasolabial folds remain white, hence TRULY looking like a butterfly. That's one way to alay some of your fears. Also, Rosacea reacts to alcohol the same -- its because...

    Lisa, I don't know . . . I'll check with a friend of mine and see what her opinion is. She is pretty knowledgeable, a pharmacist, and might be able to shed some light on it. Will let you know what she says . . . . Hugs, Lynne

    The only time I went to a Homeopathic doctor, I ended up with lupus-like symptoms from the medications she gave me. Stopped taking them, because I went to a PA who was very concerned. Did a challenge test 6 weeks later just to see if it was the homeopathic things that she gave me . . . came right back. Given my bad experience, I don't recommend it. Celiac...

    Oh Vincent, I am so happy!!! He sounds like he is doing GREAT! We had that trouble with Ashley . . . I was fortunate that at 9 months, they caught that she wasn't making sounds that were "pre-talk" -- only pointing to everything, with no sounds. She had so many infections . . . I took her to the Ear Nose & Throat doctor, and he said that her hearing...

    tiredofdoctors replied to Tasha2004's topic in Doctors

    And she passed the medical boards????? You ought to send her Peter Greene's book, "Dangerous Grains". She probably wouldn't read it. Any physician that close-minded doesn't want to know, anyway. I'd be very tempted to take your mother to another physician . . . one that is actually current on medical conditions. Good luck to you. I'll see if I...

    I went through the whole MS thing, too. Had MRI after MRI . . . finally, they nailed that it was Perkinje cell damage in the cerebellum of my brain . . . my antigliadin antibodies were REALLY high for quite some time. Also have so many different mitigating diseases processes going that nailing a treatment plan was a pain in the butt! Think we're on our...
