  1. All of you are my heros. My fiancee lives in Waterloo, and I'm from Chicago. When I go out to stay with him, I usually wind up doing a LOT of cooking, because I avoid fastfood like the plauge- Im allergic to corn, and soy, not to mention fish, and peanuts.... I love the healthfood section at the Hyvees, once I spotted that, I was set, but now, I know...
  2. Chicago... my first ortho works on the Cgicago White Sox. I will be going back to the radiologist on Monday and asking him my questions. Thank you both for you help!
  3. O.K.... I was in a really bad car accident in April, and the doctors thought that I had broke my neck.... However, I was complaining of a headache, and shoulderpain aside from my back and neck hurting. Teh E.R. made sure my back and neck were intact, and let me go. I spent the last four months in physical therapy, my shoulders and back and neck getting...
  4. I have been gluten free for almost a year... I'm doing a LOT better than before I was diagnosed, and I'm very happy about that. However- If people around me are eating, I do indeed still miss that food. I have tried to tell myself time and time again that I'm better off without it, but that isn't helping. I have tried to tell myself that I don't want...
  5. I had some for new year's my parents got it for me, and it's awesome. I was in Mil, and wanted to stop by but they were not open for tours at the time... I was hoping to maybe help taste test some of it for them!
  6. I'd love to get a copy of this. I have all sorts of gluten-free books on my wishlist on Amazon, but didn't want to spend any more money on books because I just started a new semester, and had to pay tuition and for overpriced books..... I'd love to work something out with you. e-mail be at bergjill at dom.edu
  7. I don't believe that McDonald's says their fries are gluten free... don't they fry thier breaded chicken?????Crosscontamination?
  8. The pizzacrust is great! I also love the sundried tomato and garlic bread, it actually rose like real bread and was not dense moon brick bread... when I frist tried it, I ate almost two loaves in a week! I just want to add however, that I'm disappointed that they decided to use soy flour, after all, almost half of the people who can't have wheat can't...
  9. I found that a lot more of the really creamy "lotion" sopas have them.... I wanted to be sure because I septnd three days a week on campus and I'm always washing my hands and chewing on my nails... Purell won't work if for some reason you got gluten on your hands because it will just push it aroung. I don't want to risk that, and don't get me started...
  10. Allright, well I had this little silly incident in class where my professor was using goldfish crackers to explain a statistical thing in class. It didn't bug me to take a handful of crackers, but I knew that I would have to wash my hands as soon as I was done... I didn't want to get sick from that... Anyways, I went into the bathroom and washed my hands...
  11. The only thing that I have found that keeps me going is Cliff's envery shots, they are pretty much brown rice syrup flavored with something (I like the raspberry) and lots of the elctrolytes to keep me going. I just have to remember to drink a lot of water or I won't absorb it. You can make your own too if you want, I'm working on making my own energy bars...
  12. I live in River Grove... I'd love to get together and meet with others!
  13. How about a dust mask? If you get hired, explain to your employer that what you have is a disability and that they are legally obliged to assist you in any way that they can. (or just bring your own, if they make you take it off, you can call a lawyer...) Here, it's good becuase you will not get sick and then you can't breath on the food that you are cooking...
  14. Soy, eggs, fish, corn, peanuts, mint, and more that I can't think of. All except for the mint make me sleep, or pass out, literally, if I eat a lot. (I can sneak a bit of egg or corn chips and I'll be loagy) After I wake up I get really nauseated, so I don't eat them anymore. Peanuts make me scratch just to be around them (this never was the case before...
  15. Ditto to what everywone else said. I got let go from my job because the management would not let me wear a dust mask, so I'm looking for a new job, as I got sick a lot! please, look for a new job!
  16. I was just about to ask this as well. I started cycling last night and the pain was at it's peak around noon today. I have been gluten-free for about six months now with a LOT of "accidental" glutenings (long story about my work situation here) and noticed that this is the most pain I was in in a very long time. When I first went gluten-free and was not...
  17. You are not alone in any regard. It just so happened that my family might have been supportive of my problem, but were unable to prevent contamination and refused to change thier ways. I wound up having to move out because of this, and now, I never get sick or accidentally glutened! Your "paranoia" is all in your best interest, and right now it's just...
  18. I get excited as well, and I went to such lengths to ask the grocery guy at my store to order me some brown rice torillas. When they came in, he saw me shopping and came back with them and put it right in my care! I was so excited I hugged him and almost knocked him over. I'm a small petite, and he;s a taller well fed mad!) Thanks for your stories...
  19. Thanks for your replies. I'm going to find out the results of the x-rays on monday and see where I go from there... I'll keep all this advice in mind the next time I go to the doctor.
  20. I have gotten sick from Quinoa... I always thought that it had gluten in it, maybe mine was just contaminated?
  21. I'm just wondering why I'm in so much pain... do you think that there is an attack going on in my hips, (like som gluten mysteriously got there or something..)or is it just something I'm not going to get an explination to?
  22. Yes it is. I kept getting sick from all the flour in the air... and it was apparent that my supervisor didn't seem to care.
  23. I have managed to get glutened a few times, and most recently I have been having really bad awful pains in my hips. It hurts to move them out the side, like if I wanted to cross my legs, and when I'm driving or walking, they are cracking and popping like a box of rice=krispies that fell into a puddle of water. I'm a bit concerned because I have a very thin...
  24. I was the one who poasted about getting glutened at work because I got stuck in the bakery. I found out that "aggravation of a pre-existing condition" leading to the cause of missing work means that I can file a workwoman's compenstaion claim. When I called H.R. and did just that, the reaction was stunned scilence. Go figure, she was shocked that my...
