ARCHIVED Clan Thompson
tiredofdoctors replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Don't know about the renewal fee for the Clan Thompson stuff . . . I do know that, if you e-mail them with a question, they reply to you within 2 hours. It was pretty impressive. They also said that, for their updates, if you request specific products which you eat which are not on the list, they will try their best to include them on the next update. ... -
ARCHIVED Ouch! Says My Wallet...
tiredofdoctors replied to penguin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the info Richard . . . . doesn't it seem like a WHOLE lot of work, though, for what could end up being a minimal deduction????? You would have to find the cost of the regular item, verify it, record it, then record the difference on each receipt. For each item your purchase that's special for the diet. I don't think I'm that organized... -
ARCHIVED Real People Cereal
tiredofdoctors replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Back to an earlier post -- I DO remember the picture of him with the bag of cereal! Will definitely have to plan a trip to Wild Oats -- as I said, Tymber is a child with impeccable taste! -
ARCHIVED What Is Your Ethnic Origin?
tiredofdoctors replied to Emme999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Forgot this part: I'm 6'1" and when I was a kid, I had almost white-blonde hair -- it didn't get to be brown until after my first child was born -- it was kind of weird. No one at my 5 yr. class reunion knew me, because my hair had always been light, and here I was with this dark hair. -
ARCHIVED It Takes Time To Heal
tiredofdoctors replied to Claire's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Wow -- what an eye-opening article. It's good that your body can heal -- but this idea that a lot of MD's have -- that you'll be "fine" in a few months -- according to some things I've read, some things I've heard -- was certainly shot down. Jersey Angel -- find out if your allergist is also an IMMUNOLOGIST. Usually it is a combined specialty. If that... -
ARCHIVED Veterinarians, Wish They Were An Option.
tiredofdoctors replied to Rusla's topic in Doctors
SPARKY????? That is hysterically funny! Am working on my story - actually, I would prefer to e-mail it to you (it's too LONG) -- as an attachment -- because it would absolutely bore everyone else to tears! If it's O.K., can I have your e-mail address, then send it that way??? BTW: As I'm writing it, I find that I'm getting more and more hacked off... -
Did I NOT tell you that jenvan is a wealth of information??????

ARCHIVED Are We Never Going To Be 'normal' Again?
tiredofdoctors replied to danikali's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Remember this: NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine. -
Okay . . . well that does make a difference!! Until the 3-day issue, I was going with the good old southern potato salad! I eat "hippie food", too, but am, at heart, a southern cook, I think! Don't know how you feel about additives, but I use a milk & egg protein powder added to my smoothies. It has added vitamins & minerals, so it would...

ARCHIVED Garnier Fructis
tiredofdoctors replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Proctor & Gamble will not confirm that Pantene is Gluten Free. That was their reply to me. I am so excited that Fructis is -- I have been looking for a gluten-free shampoo & products -- will call on the ones I plan to buy and will post. Thanks for posting this!!!!!! -

tiredofdoctors replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If Tymber recomends Envirokids -- well, then, it has to be the best!!!!! He seems to be a child with impeccable taste! -
ARCHIVED Please Help! Questions About Gluten Intolerance!
tiredofdoctors replied to elfkin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree with Richard. It's hard not to ingest gluten when flour is flying all around you. -
ARCHIVED Are We Never Going To Be 'normal' Again?
tiredofdoctors replied to danikali's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ain't it the truth???? I had my "independent night" (the night that my husband drops me off at the local shopping center, and I just shop and browse around the stores for a couple of hours by myself) a few weeks ago. While I was there, it began snowing -- the most beautiful, huge snowflakes, coming down fast and in the wind. I was waiting in my chair ... -
ARCHIVED Any "home-canners" Out There?
tiredofdoctors replied to jenvan's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My crocuses are coming up!!!! It looks as though the squirrels didn't get ALL of them Guess some of them are immune to cayenne pepper Also have something coming up -- think it's my daffodils -- if we start having freezing stuff again, do I need to cover the leaves of those? I have a fairly good "mulch" (not pretty because it's leaves & stuff... -
ARCHIVED Clan Thompson
tiredofdoctors replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
That is unbelievable that you asked that question! I have downloaded the trials of "gluten guard" and "clan thompson" -- and my husband and I were comparing them We are thinking of the Clan Thompson one particularly because it has the "ingredient checker" -- I think it looked pretty good. Considering that most of the people here who have it, really... -
ARCHIVED Getting Enough Fiber?
tiredofdoctors replied to Ellie's mom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Don't know exactly how much fiber it puts in things, but I add ground flax seed to almost everything. I think it's pretty much undetectable. Even in my smoothies! -
ARCHIVED Are We Never Going To Be 'normal' Again?
tiredofdoctors replied to danikali's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Beverly, you are SOOOOOO right I did the same thing -- I wanted the "Old Lynne" back. The one who could walk, who could work, who could see better, who could eat those fabulous rolls in the restaurants, or could eat wherever she wanted -- but the "New Lynne" may be better. She's more optimistic than the Old Lynne ever was, I think. She sees the flowers... -
ARCHIVED I Shouldn't Be Excited
tiredofdoctors replied to Timber4est's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That made me cry!!! That was the sweetest thing. I thought my husband was good about gluten-free, but yours takes the gluten-free cake! How excited you must have been to get a basket like that! That is so cool . . . after feeling kind of "blues-y" today, you made my day. Thanks for sharing a GREAT story! -
ARCHIVED What Is Your Ethnic Origin?
tiredofdoctors replied to Emme999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hmmm. . . I'm kind of a mutt, too Father's side: His Father: Definite German and English His Mother: ????? Never disclosed Mother's side: Her Father: GERMAN Her Mother: German and Irish Pale skin, blue eyes, but brown hair (well, actually more gray now, but . . . I'm a "decided" blonde... -
ARCHIVED Real People Cereal
tiredofdoctors replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
No, since Kroger was hit by the wheat mafia, I'm reduced to (what I'm also very tired of) Barbara's Puffin's Honey Rice cereal. It was delicious at first, but 4 1/2 months later . . . well, a little variety wouldn't hurt. -
ARCHIVED 2006 Celiac Walk In Baltimore
tiredofdoctors replied to IronedOut's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My husband has family in Baltimore, and it would be a good time to visit. Do you know anything about participants in wheelchairs? Sounds like it would be a fun experience . . .. Any help is appreciated . . . .Lynne -
ARCHIVED Inconclusive Test
tiredofdoctors replied to penguin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't have celiac, but have gluten ataxia. My anti-gliadin IGg was the only postitive bloodtest, and my biopsy was negative. I don't have stomach, "gut" difficulties, but brain and eye stuff. At any rate, being put on Nexium -- I read in two different places that Nexium contains gluten -- better call the pharmaceutical company to verify. If you're... -
YES!!!!!!!! I have been trying to find the support group for Louisville, KY -- I'm about to jump up and down -- except the little poodle on my lap is ALREADY mad at me for being on the computer I had e-mailed two of the people listed a couple of times, but didn't receive a response, so just figured that the support group had fizzled out. This is...

ARCHIVED New Mcdonalds Story...
tiredofdoctors replied to pixiegirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
My "glutening" occurred at least once or twice per week. Since we thought that they were "safe" -- they were listed on their menu as safe -- my husband would bring them home as a treat. Given that gluten destroys my brain and retinas, I wonder how much of my double vision, and how many additional cerebellar cells are gone -- never to regenerate, because...
