I ran low on Lactaid (lactase enzyme supplement supplement) earlier this week, and missed taking them several times. I also had some kefir that had a questionable expiration - the date on the bottle was OK, but I did not drink it within the recommended 3 days, and the last time I had it was at least three days ago. I also found out, because my wife called...

This past monday I had 4 large vials of blood taken at the celiac center of Columbia U, and I'm going back next week for the (bllood) results, an endoscope, a bone density test, and a consultation with their nutritionist. Although I feel MUCH better now than I did before going gluten-free, I don't expect to see any drastic improvement in the numbers...

If you think that people that spray themselves heavily with perfumes are bad – you ain’t heard nothing. I worked near a guy who is schizophrenic that sprayed himself, and/or his clothing, with RAID! Yes, the bug spray. I’m not making it up. He started out on the “soft” stuff, OFF, for campers, and progressed to the “hard” stuff. I complained to Human Reso...

ARCHIVED Mary's Gone Crackers
celiachap posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I used to love the "original' variety of Mary's Gone Crackers. They seem to have changed the shape, and taste, of them over the past couple of months - not for the better, IMO. Now, they are more like round discs, and taste different; before, they were shaped more like "leaves", and tasted less "plastic-like", for lack of a better term to describe the... -
What are you "apologizing" for? The man only asked for opinions, and even threw out a few ideas for discussion. If he expected people to only write replies that could in no way be taken as offensive by anybody, including people that are ultra-sensitive to dissenting voices regarding the topic, then he wouldn't have posted the question in the first place...

My opinions about religion would be the same whether there were people with celiac disease having a problem with communion, or not. I recognized it for what it was long before I had heard of celiac disease. Taking communion is not at the forefront of my disagreements with this religion, as it is a voluntary choice that christians must decide for themselves...

ARCHIVED Antigen Tests
celiachap replied to deco2339's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I cannot help you with your question about antigen count, as I do not have my info available, and some new test results, from two days ago, will not be available until next week. Welcome aboard. Although I have not yet read it, I would like to recommend the new book by Dr. Peter H.R. Green, CELIAC DISEASE: A HIDDEN EPIDEMIC, which is coming out in... -
God cannot violate his own nature by cheating, fraud, lies or misrepresentation of the truth – despite what those damned infidels say about my words revealed to the authors of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. God advises you to put your investments in sound places – such as municipal and government bonds, treasury shares, and, if you’re not yet i...

OK, it's time to let the cat out of the bag. I placed that thought in your mind, because I am God. Thank you for believing in me. I really appreciate your faith - especially in these times. If you do not believe that I'm God, according to your logic, you must prove that I am NOT (God). If you cannot, then I will appreciate a tithe of 10% of your salary...

I cannot, nor can anybody else, prove that "god" does not exist. The burden of proof is on the believer, and NOT believing in a fantasy like god is not a "belief". So, you are absolutely right: I cannot prove that god does not exist. If somebody tells me that they see little green men in the sky, and I do not, I cannot "prove" that they are wrong about...

The rate of active pederasty among Catholic priests is four percent. No other professional group that I know of has that many, and if you don't consider them to be perverted degenerates, then I think you're shy a few brain cells. What's even more disgraceful is the cover-ups that their superiors, almost uniformly, performed. Before you drag out G.K...

I am not "blaming" a deity - simply because there is no evidence that any such things exist. Celiac robs the body of nutrition, vitamins, etc., as well as causing a myriad of other problems including brain fog, skin problems, even cancer – which is probably the worst result. Religion robs the mind of reason, and causes various symptoms such as guilt, ...

You do not have the slightest bit of evidence that anything you are saying is true. Neither do the priests, rabbis, mullahs, or other con-men/women that are fleecing the government and the taxpayers - not to mention the mass destruction, waste and many millions of lives that they have taken in the name of their deity. Religion is like a cancer, and...

Since the subject of "heaven" has been introduced, here's some thoughts. All I know is that when my time comes to approach the alleged "pearly gates", and if there really IS a gatekeeper as we've been told, St. "The Rock" Peter might just paraphrase that stoned ex-Dell TV pitchman (who was immediately dropped by Dell after a marijuana street-bust incident...

ARCHIVED New Book: Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic
celiachap posted a topic in Publications & Publicity
I had an appointment at the Celiac Disease Center of Columbia University, and here is some VERY good news regarding a new book by the Center's director, all-around top Celiac advocate, specialist and researcher, Dr. Peter H.R. Green: Unmasking One of the Most Under-Diagnosed Autoimmune Diseases CELIAC DISEASE: A Hidden Epidemic End your medical odyssey... -
He's a Jesuit spy sent by the vatican to report the doings on this board, lol!

What would the pope do if the only type of wheat that was available, due to some kind of natural disaster or manmade ecological catastrophe, made everybody sick (like we get from gluten) - including himself? As a person that attended several catholic schools from the 1 950's through the 70's, I can say, without a single doubt, that it would be a whole...

ARCHIVED How Long Did It Take To Gain Weight
celiachap replied to Moongirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Same here. I was underweight, and gained 15 lbs. in that time frame (4-6 months), and about 5 more after I was gluten-free for 10 months. -
I may have inadvertantly clicked on the Orick advertisement on the right side of the Celiac message board, resulting in another Orick advertisement - so I guess it isn't technically "spam"?
-
I hear what you're saying, but these things work differently on different systems - sometimes well enough, and other times they cause disasters, which happened to my Dell Windows ME desktop on Tuesday. I then screwed up and deleted Windows to do a reinstall, by disc, but I should not have deleted the "restore" dates. I use Spybot, Ad Aware, Spyware...

I didn't attend Penn State, but there is an unsubstansiated rumor that I spent some time at the State Penn.

I got a new notebook computer yesterday, installed the (included) trial version of McAfree - and just after I read the "spammer" thread here, I got the Orick pop-up. Well, there's one claim that the guy can't make for his products: that they can restore hair.

ARCHIVED Blood Pressure Rise After Going gluten-free?
celiachap posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Did anyone experience a rise in his or her blood pressure after going gluten free? I bought a home machine before I knew that I had Celiac, and have noticed an increase in the numbers. Before going gluten-free, my BP used to be low, and now it’s normal to borderline (120/80 – 140/90), and occasionally shoots up to a level of mild/moderate hypertension (16... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Take Digestive Enzymes?
celiachap replied to traveljunkie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Charlene, Well, I don't know since I've been taking them since last summer, and went gluten-free in March '05. I did gain about 15 lbs., and have more energy. It's an incredible change, but I think that 99 percent of the improvements are due to going gluten-free. I don't beleive that most people need enzyme supplements, but we are different in many...
