  2. I keep printed articles (such as the Wall Street Journal one from last week), the Triumph cards, and packages of gluten free food to show them. If anybody is curious, I give him or her copies of the printed materials and start acting like an anti-gluten "evangelist", lol. Believe me, they'll act differently once you give THEM the business! I tell...
  3. I have a "Foods by George" frozen Pizza in the freezer, and expect to try it this weekend. I believe that they make gluten-free pizza dough, also - which I may have tried. I've had several of the gluten-free doughs, and they were all very good - and different from each other. I've been to Risotteria's restaurant in NYC, and plan on going back again...
  4. Although it may seem like "bragging", which is something that you can't back up with facts, the pizza and bagels in Brooklyn are the considered to be the the best by many people. I grew up in a neighborhood where the bagel shops had signs up that read "High Gluten Water Bagels", which were a penny each at one time, but I remember them being sold individually...

  6. Thanks, Deb! We're ALL appreciative of your, and Mike's, efforts - as well as everyone else that was involved in bringing this story in the Journal (as those of us here call it on the "Street", lol) to fruition. I know that you've written about Mike's "other" celiac-related problems, but would you mind giving us another short rundown of them? ...
  7. Our ancestors, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, had the right stuff for D: Tincture of Opium. That drug, with its narcotic pain-killing properties, would be perfect for us today. Contrary to what the idiots in charge of drug policies say, it will not have any long-term addiction or side effects when used occasionally. Even if a person had to take...
  8. On the "Seinfeld" show George's fiance, Susan, died suddenly from licking the glue on the cheap envelopes that he (George) bought for their wedding invitations. I never expected, when I first saw that episode, that I would someday avoid licking evelopes and stamps due to health concerns!
  9. Glad to hear that the Triumph Dining Cards are working out well for you. I've always enjoyed various cuisines of the world, but have not gone to restaurants more than once or twice since my diagnosis. I recently received a set of Triumph cards, and am looking forward to using them in the near future. They are very impressinve, and I carry them in my wallet...
  10. hapi2bgf, I recently ordered a set of Triumph Dining Cards, for Celiac, but haven't used them yet: Open Original Shared Link from their website: Ready to Enjoy Eating Out Again? Triumph Dining Cards Do What Others Don't! If “No Wheat, Rye, Barley, or Oats” was enough, we wouldn’t be here! Celiacs across the globe know that gluten hides in su...
  11. The “Santa” that we see today is not realistic. He was created by Coca Cola and Macy’s after 19th century stories, poems, and illustrations. The real Santa would be skinny, or he would never have been capable of going down chimneys. The reason that he is skinny, despite millions of bowls of porridge and glasses of ale on Xmas, is that he has Celiac Disea...

  13. A co-worker approached me today about attending a company-sponsored “hands-on” course in CPR-Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, the Heimlich Maneuver, and (even better!): Artificial Respiration, the “Kiss of Life”! I thought to myself, “Wow, this is going to be great!” When it comes to something like this most guys, Celiac or not, would be willing to take som...
  14. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about my celiac disease, and he said that he and his brother remember going to restaurants in the 1970's with our friends, and that I would always have a candy bar BEFORE dinner. I didn't even remember doing this, but apparently it was amusing to them. A lot of things make sense after you are diagnosed. I...
  15. Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! Was "Pilgrim" John Howland a Celiac? During fierce storms on the journey to New England, the Mayflower passengers were obliged to stay below deck, for safety. For some reason, a young passenger named John Howland left the hull, came above deck, fell overboard, and was rescued. My theory is that he had Celiac and the...
  16. Breast-feeding reduces risk of celiac disease Mon Nov 21, 2005 10:05 PM GMT By David Douglas NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - It appears that breast-feeding lowers the risk of developing celiac disease, a common gastrointestinal problem caused by intolerance to a grain protein called gluten, according to a report in the Archives of Disease in Childhood...
  17. There aren’t enough males with celiac to go around, so you have no choice but to take matters into you own hands and implement a solution that will be to your advantage. One option is to create a “celiac” by convincing a boy that he also has problems with gluten. You could bake some bread and/or cakes and secretly lace them with milk of magnesia or ot...
  18. Hi, Sorry to hear about your trouble at work. I've had problems with employers my whole life. My suggestion about what you might try to do to get sympathy and action would be funny, and true, but it will get me banned for being PI, lol! Suffice to say it would involve sort-of "disguising" yourself. 'Nuff said.
  19. I don't know for sure if I've ever had Leaky Gut, but I definitly have Celiac. I’ve been taking Kirkman Labs DPP-IV every day for the past three months – for help with casein digestion and to provide possible protection in cases of accidental gluten ingestion. Open Original Shared Link It seems to be working. I do not even know if I’ve been ...
  20. I also had a bad year the last time I got the flu shot, a few years ago, and didn't get one again. Celiac patients, all else being equal, have no more reason to get the flu shot than the rest of the population. If you are in a “high risk” group, or your doctor recommends it, then it is probably a good idea to get it. The vaccination against pneumonia (Pn...
  21. I just received another "warning" from the administration. If there are any more complaints about me, I will probably be finished here. I am continuing to take DPP-IV every day.
  22. Well, I didn't get ALL of it, but I gathered that you agree that he who laughs last laughs hardest, that it's rough to deal with know-it-all people, Zoeliakie is German for celiac, and you wished (?). Thanks for giving me some practice in translating words. I've tried to learn the language, but there aren't many people speaking it in NY anymore. Many...
  23. Wer zuletzt lacht, lacht am besten.
  24. Not everybody had the same mis-read of my postings that you did. I did not "make people think" anything. That is something that I wish I could do, LOL, but it's quite impossible. If you are not interested in this enzyme, then ignore this thread. I am not interested in a LOT of what's on here, and that is exactly what I do - ignore it. To make an informed...
  25. Your "no offense" shout has daggers behind it! Listen, most of the people here have been VERY negative about this product. I'm not asking for any appreciation for finding it (which I did), or trying it (which I am going to do), I just like a LITTLE courtesy and common sense. Basically, that poster said (in her own way) "I'm not going to take the product...
