    I take advil cold and sinus.
  2. frenchiemama
    Oh gosh yes. I'm like that, only with me it's either celiac or dogs. I'm suprised anyone IRL even talks to me anymore.

    Try some aloe vera juice.

    Thanks Tiffany. My mom LOVES those birds. She actually had a small aviary built for them (in the dining room of all places). I know that she wants to do anything that she can for them.

    Deb, no I haven't had my B12 checked recently at all. I do take a daily B12 sublingual, but possibly I could be taking too little. I know that my iron is low and my dermo said that low iron can contribute to getting sores/boils.

    Wow, I had no idea about that. I've never had birds, but my mom keeps birds and I think that she just feeds them seed mix food from the store (she has finches and parakeets). Do you guys have any resources about this? I would really like to read up on it, I hate to think of her birds being unhealthy. Isn't it just sickening how the big companies...

    Yeah, I'm getting repeatedly sick and getting infections (like boils and infected cuts). It's brutal. I'm seeing my GP this week, I'll ask her about a specialist.

    Here is a list of some: Open Original Shared Link Each website should have a store locator as well as a nutritional analysis and ingredients list. My dogs are all around 20#, and with Purina they were getting twice the amount that I feed them now. It's almost unbelievable.

    Natural Balance is a good brand that you can find at Petco. At Petsmart I think Blue Buffalo is the best one that they carry (but we don't have a Petsmart so I don't know). For most of the other brands you would have to go to either a feed store or a non-chain pet store. I order my stuff online. I posted a link earlier that lists several different brands...

    I've been gluten-free since April 21st of this year. Lots of things have improved. My skin is clear (I have DH), my headaches are almost gone, my GI symptoms are gone, people keep telling me that I look healthier as well. The problem is that I seem to be getting sicker in other ways. I feel tired a lot, and achey. I get sick ALL the time. My immune system...

    Very good point. While dogs do have a much shorter and more acidic digestive tract that we do, they are not immune to food borne bacteria (they do have a much lower risk than we do though). If you are going to give your dogs raw anything; you need to buy, store, and handle that meat as though YOU were going to eat it. And don't tell the butcher shop...

    Thank you, and steal away!

    Distilled alcohol is supposed to be safe. My personal favorite is Malibu and OJ, although I got glutened from Tropicana OJ once so I'm very picky about the brand of juice that is used.

    I think that the current system is just too accepting of bad doctors. Yes, doctors are human and yes, they do make mistakes. But currently I don't believe that there is any incentive for them to really *try*. They can get by with doing a half-assed job, so why try any harder? Last night I had to take my mother to the ER. She has a list of neurological...

    Oh, one more thing that everyone with dogs should be aware of: Never, EVER give your dog chocolate, onions, grapes/raisins, or cooked bones (raw bones, like soup bones, are fine). I know that there is a list like this for cats as well, but I don't have cats so I'm not really sure what it is.

    Oh, I certainly believe that feeding our companion animals foods that are loaded with grains (esp wheat) is damaging for their health. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away I fed my little darlings.......*gulp*......Purina Beneful. There, I admitted it. They were in terrible shape, but of course I didn't realize it, I had never seen a dog in...

    Eau Claire, WI I have never been to another one, maybe the one here in EC is just crappy. It would be nice to know if any of the other locations are better though.
  20. frenchiemama
    Yep. The waitstaff seems totally uneducated about gluten-free though, so you must spell it out and examine your food before you eat it to make sure that they didn't just throw it on the grill with the rest of it. I personally don't order anything cooked there anymore (I order a turkey BLT) because they have made so many mistakes. It's too bad, at first...
  21. frenchiemama
    Well, it may seem "overboard" to you but I personally believe in "better safe than sorry". (Also, my dogs eat a food that is gluten-free because it is a better food. It's for their health.)
  22. frenchiemama
    I agree. 100% gluten-free.
  23. frenchiemama
    I don't really bake. My mom does from time to time though, and she got a really good gluten-free cookbook (I think the name has "Comfort Food" in it, but I'm not sure). Anyway, a couple of weeks ago she made me a poppyseed cake using her regular recipe and just substituting in a gluten-free baking mix (from the book, I think it's called "feather light" or...

    That sounds tough, I'm really sorry. So it sounds like you have a huge list of stuff that you can't eat. Maybe you should write out a list of things that you can eat. Can you eat rice? Plums? Onions? Peppers? Tomatoes? Quinoa? (those are just random things off the top of my head). Make a list off everything you can think of that you can eat and then...
  25. frenchiemama
    Oh I certainly used to. I have, on multiple occasions, had to pull my car off the road and take a little nap for fear of falling asleep at the wheel. In the middle of the day.
