    They make Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets??????? Okay, I'm going . . . I'm geting tired of Puffins, smoothies and junior mints for junk food! Vincent, I didn't even read that you were from Nashville -- we get down that way every once in awhile -- Dave has some friends there that we visit. Next visit, I'll have to PM you so that my husband and I can meet...

    Just a little humor to ease your nerves: I was having both an endoscopy and a colonoscopy on the same day. Prior to having it, I looked at the nurses and asked "If you're going to use the same tube, could we please do my upper part first?" Let me tell you, these people have no sense of humor They just stared at me, while I was giggling as they were...

    I have HORRIBLE insomnia. Especially since going gluten-free, too. I hadn't really thought about it until I read your thread. In the past, I've had low DHEA and high cortisol levels (they have a converse relationship) -- and had to have B12 injections -- didn't think about the cortisol issue. Think I will ask my endocrinologist about testing for those...

    Have been to the Outback in Lexington, KY and in Louisville, KY and haven't had a problem eating off the gluten-free menu -- even their brownie dessert is gluten-free -- the waiter said that they are VERY careful when it comes to the gluten-free patrons. One caveat -- I don't have celiac, (gluten ataxia) so I don't know immediately if I've had trouble. ...

    Vincent -- we have Wild Oats here -- haven't gone there because I'm afraid of the prices! Are they very expensive? I know that Kroger's organic section is pretty high -- but that's where we're buying from right now. I'm also afraid that if I go into Wild Oats that I'll spend a fortune! We also have (what I think is) the Whole Foods Market -- something...

    Before I have sympathy for you, Ken, how tall are you??? Just kidding -- regardless of your height, if you are struggling with weight issues, you have my complete sympathy. Don't know anything about the Southbeach Diet, but if I find any good information, I'll let you know. Good luck to you . . . Lynne

    I only had to drink a small amount of liquid lidocaine -- maybe tasted a little weird, but that was all. . . Lynne

    You are a physical therapist's dream patient! . . . Lynne

    Amazing, Huh????? I'm so cynical, though, I keep thinking . . . "there's got to be a catch -- there has to be something that's going to go wrong . . . " Just need to stay positive -- it's going to be a GOOD visit! . . . Lynne

    Lollie -- You go girl!! I hope your cakes turn out wonderfully! I'll let you know how the whole birthday thing goes when it happens -- my family is going to be shocked! . . . Lynne

    Went gray at 21 -- have colored my hair for years -- went for a time that I didn't (couldn't get out to get the stuff), and saw a good look at my roots --- WHOA I use Clairol color and use a 30 volume creme developer. It's easy to use, and cheap. All you have to do is mix equal parts, then start at your roots and go. I buy it at Sally beauty supply...

    Nothing to worry about -- it's a piece of cake. I had a colonoscopy, at the same time, too. I agree, though, about telling the doctor that you want to be fully sedated. I wasn't, and they were shocked when I quoted everything that they said -- they thought that I was. It wasn't the most comfortable thing being awake. I did, though, get to watch it on...

    I know that this is going to sound crazy, but bear with me . . . I'm a physical therapist. Prior to being disabled by this disease, I owned my own clinic. I treated women's health issues, including urinary and fecal incontinence, but I also worked with a sex therapist and treated women with pelvic pain. They all reported these unbelievably painful bowel...

    I found a RD in my city who knows about celiac!!!!! I told her that I have gluten intolerance (Ataxia vs. celiac), but still needed to be gluten-free for life. Told her, too that I want to lose weight, and it's just not happening. She said that she is very familiar with gluten-free diets -- wants me to bring the books I have, and she said that she has...

    I think pro-active is the way to go here, too. I'm only 43, I'm not a celiac (have Gluten Ataxia), but when I had my endoscope, they also did a colonoscopy. I only had 2 polyps, and they removed those. If you know you have them, I think it's time that they go bye-bye. They are the precursor to colon cancer. Mine were non-precancerous, which was good...

    Louisville, KY. We have SNOW!!! Of course, we won't tomorrow, so we need to enjoy it today! Jen lives in Indianapolis, and they usually get hammered a little more than us -- actually a LOT more than us, considering that she's just two hours up the road. My aunt lives there, and we call and compare snow stories! Right now, though, my aunt just calls to...

    ravenwoodglass: It is so nice to hear someone talk nicely about physical therapy treatment! I'm a physical therapist -- I had my own clinic, but because this stupid disease affects my brain et. al, I had to close it. I specialized in Women's health -- urinary and fecal incontinence, pregnancy, post-partum. The treatment really is fairly effective, isn...

    This was what Neutrogena sent me when I questioned them about their list saying "Wheat-free": We do not currently maintain a list of products free of corn, barley, rye or other grains. We will certainly share your interest in a more detailed gluten-free list with the proper authorities. I don't have any reaction from them, either. The...

    Judy just made me think of this -- there is a book -- I think it is called "The Dance of Intimacy" -- in fact, I'm almost 100% sure. I read it when I started making big changes in my life and in my assertiveness level. The book describes the changes which occur within relationships when one person changes and the others don't. It gives some very good coping...

    I'm pretty leary of getting glutened. I have Amy's frozen dinners, and I like them, but I don't think I'll be eating them any longer because of the potential for cross-contamination. . . . . Lynne

    I agree with Richard. I thought vinegars were made without gluten -- I was under the impression that the only ones which were questionable were "Malt Vinegar" (obviously) and "Balsalmic Vinegar". . . . Lynne

    naaah, you can stay -- we're having fun! How much snow do you have? Ours is just starting -- we're getting some sleet but no snow yet. Can't wait until tomorrow morning -- I love waking up to see it all white! I think it's just beautiful! Then I go outside and feed the birds -- have to make sure that they have seed & suet! I also feed the squirrels...

    I think Debmidge has a really good idea. When you approach them with a calm, firm attitude and a very valid argument, what can they do? Basically, right now they've shot themselves in the foot. I think you're in a very good position to argue your point -- and get the results you need. Good luck -- but I'll bet you that it works. (Debmidge -- seriously...

    Okay, I'm going to reveal the really passive-aggressive side of me. My birthday will be coming up in a couple of months -- there are two more coming before me. I know that there won't be anything for me to eat birthday-wise at these two. So, when it comes to my birthday, my husband and I are going to tell my mother that my husband has the cake taken care...
