    My mom has cancer -- had a difficult time on Chemo with "adult" vitamins -- she started taking these -- she loves them! She said that she wouldn't go back to regular vitamins! She gave me one -- you're right -- they're DELICIOUS!!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not M&M's -- they are my only "treat" now!!!!! Rusla, am anxiously awaiting the response you get from M&M Mars!!! Lynne

    I went on a de-glutening rant after I was told that I HAD to be gluten-free. We have one little corner in the pantry (it used to be a whole shelf) that my husband can keep his gluten-filled "goodies" -- although now, he buys only the ones that are individually packaged! Thanks for a GREAT story! Lynne

    I'm with you!!!!!

    That's really good news -- another restaurant willing to help (especially in the midst of the whole McD's thing . . . ) -- my husband is going to be really happy about this!!!!

    Sorry about not getting the things out sooner . . . . just got more bad news two days ago , and have had to call ALL MD's -- neuro, rheumatologist, ear,nose,throat . . . it's a mess. Trying to figure out what's the best way to attack the current problem without having to compromise the ability to diagnose the new one. Have also made call(s) over and over...

    I can't believe you got crap from the Ragu guy! I've been e-mailing companies (btw: Unilever won't answer my e-mails) but ANYWAY -- I get the "Hi Lynne! We're SO glad you contacted us!!" prior to the answer -- then they try to push a product on me at the end -- Have you tried our new wrinkle cream? It is . . . . . . Thanks for writing! I finally wrote...

    My sister lost a LOT of weight on weight watchers -- she suggested the same thing with regard to using the plan, just incorporate it into my gluten-free diet. Okay, that's the second person to suggest it to me . . . one more and I know I'm being sent a VERY strong message . . . .Lynne

    Thanks for the heads up! Can always use helpful information - also I'm a "book-a-holic"! Thanks again . . . Lynne

    Broncobux: The only thing I can think of your topic at the moment is Adam Sandler's song about the Lunchlady. Will read it seriously when I'm not so punchy!!!!!. . . . sorry . . . Lynne

    I agree with Nisla. I would either 1)insist that the doctor take a more proactive approach in your diagnosis or 2)find a different doctor. There are a multitude of physicians out there now -- it's a buyer's market!! She's also right in that, you don't need the doctor's permission to lead a gluten-free lifestyle. Just because he/she is a jerk, don't...

    Even if you have a negative biopsy, you still have AntiGliadin antibodies -- your body is in attack mode. The best thing you can do for your health, knowing that, is continue with a gluten-free diet. If you want to discuss at more length, e-mail me at bodyworxinc@hotmail.com (It's a long, involved story, and most of the people on the board are probably...

    The relief of the brain fog you could be feeling is that, AntiGliadin antibodies destroy perkinje cells -- which are located primarily in your brain. I am negative celiac -- neg Antitransglutaminase, antiendomysial, and negative small intestine biopsy. I do, however, have gluten ataxia -- and walk like the worst drunk you've ever seen. Can barely stand...

    Out of curiosity, did insurance cover any of the cost of the lab work? I have two kids, 19 and 23, and I don't want them or their (future) children to suffer any of the stuff that I've had to go through recently. I have been told that I HAVE to be gene tested, but no one has made mention of my kids. If it is covered through insurance, the doctor can certainly...

    You guys are so funny My stomach is hurting from laughing so hard! I bought my husband a key-chain that says: "The difference between Genius and Stupidity is that Genius has its limits" I knew that da$%^# celery would catch up with me some day! Thanks for a GREAT laugh. . . Lynne

    ChelsE: My husband is a Naval Architect (read: engineer). You nailed the engineering personality! "Enough" and "Cheap" -- I was reading this out loud to my husband, and he was howling laughing!!! We just had this discussion! Vincent -- sorry you're having such a horrible time. Did like, however, the reference to Mr. Incredible -- in the words...

    I think you're right. I was talking with a friend of mine last night -- she's an Occupational Therapist -- the first words out of her mouth were "First, if the fries made her child sick, why did she keep taking her there? Second -- if she continued to allow her child to get sick, knowing that each visit made her sick, why isn't Child Protective Services...

    Broncobux: Pretty funny, because I PM'd Richard and asked him to "help us out here"!!! Interesting that distilling removes it, but it makes sense -- in distillation, all you get is the "steam" portion of what you're "cooking". Also -- did you have a happy birthday???? . . . Lynne Didn't know you are an attorney, but I agree with you wholeheartedly...

    Jen, I have to agree with you -- there was nothing like their biscuits with apple butter! Oh well, another restaurant eliminated!! Don't know if you guys have "Bonefish" restaurants in your area, but they have a gluten-free menu that's pretty extensive -- this is coming from a friend of ours! He's a pharmacist, but now that he knows I need to be gluten...

    Patti -- I agree. My initial thought is -- if cooking removes gluten, then why do we all have to cook gluten-free????
  21. tiredofdoctors
    Heather -- I think it's pretty normal to feel this way. I was sent (by my doctor), to a counselor to work through the issues that I had surrounding new disability, adjusting to being in a wheelchair, family issues, etc. We talked a LOT, though, about the new diet. She recommended pretty much ALL of what these guys have posted. My husband and I have gluten...

    The dietician gave me samples of Larabars -- they are really good! Now I'm going to have to try the Okari bars! -- Don't need to hear of any other "sweet tooth satisfiers", though -- I have to lose weight -- my daughter is getting married in August -- I don't want to be the "fat mom" vs the "skinny mom"!!! I'll feel like the segment that used to be on...

    Wheat contains gluten, and you can't separate those out. McDonalds is claiming that they were told by the distributor that because their french fries are "Par-fried" -- meaning that they are partially cooked prior to being frozen and sent out to the restaurants, that the gluten is eliminated. There is no real evidence to back up that claim -- gluten doesn...

    Hi Sagesmama! Welcome to the board. I think that you will find that there are some VERY knowledgeable, kind, caring people here. That has been my experience, at least. I agree that it is a lot to take in, but I hope that you get a dietician that was as good as my experience yesterday. She made things a LOT easier. I wish you good luck, and hope that...

    I don't know about the scar fading cream. I do know, though, that when I was practicing (PT), I would use silicone gel sheeting for scars. Nexcare makes those now (about $27 for a box -- not bad at all) and Curad makes a polyurethane (I believe) sheet which is clear. You can put both on your face at night. Studies have shown that you don't get any additional...
