    Because we always wait for our opinions to be solicited.

    Is that why we don't have our muumuus yet? Or did you think we would forget?
  3. Adalaide
    No. But Bartfull has cookies. All aboard!!! We're going on a road trip. This is my biggest challenge some days also. Or sometimes not slapping people for about 100 other stupid reasons. Mostly I just have the urge to slap people a lot.

    Whoa whoa whoa... stop this train. I seriously did not make it a week past my diagnosis without this information. You need to go get in your car and get you a Frosty!

    You win. Want a cookie?

    Sounds like you got the clown car.

    Sounds like she is pooping and acting pretty much like my girls did at that age and like my cousin does who is that age. Could it be celiac? Of course. It is possible it was caught early enough that she wasn't so terribly sick that this became truly horrid yet and she wasn't terribly damaged. Could it be something? Sure, why not? But why risk poisoning...

    Well, celiac does tend to be genetic although no one in my husband's family is diagnosed with it. Diseases closely linked to celiac that in your family history can point to needing to be tested: dementia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diabetes (both types), thyroid problems, Crohn's, IBS, depression. Really, the link between celiac and SO MANY diseases is ridiculous...

    There's a bus? Oh no! I got on the train. OMG... what do I do? WHAT DO I DO!?!?

    These things keep getting creepier and creepier! And yes, I'm the one hitting people. And I'm only imagining hitting them! I reserve it as response to things like "did you know Olive Garden has a gluten free menu?" Because if I actually have the money to go out to eat I'm going to go to a place that specializes in serving gluten and is a haven of cross...

    I know at all of the Wendy's I have ever been to in Utah, and it is my understanding that it is "supposed" to be policy at all Wendy's that fries should always be done in a dedicated fryer. If you let them open your potato for you, I would almost certainly guarantee that this is what got you and not the fries leaning on your chili. Never order fries without...

    I'm pretty sure my husband's hypoglycemic episodes are due to undiagnosed celiac. Between his own symptoms and his family's medical history there is no reason for the lot of them not to be gluten free. But yes, it does make perfect sense. You eat something, correct for it but are incapable of absorbing it entirely because your villi are useless and BAM! low...

    The ONLY thing I miss about being back "home" in PA rather than out here in wonderful, dry UT is my dad and brother and their hunting. I do not miss lake effect snow. I do not miss summers so humid it is like trying to breathe soup. Oh the other hand, my brother shot 6 deer this season. My dad has brought home elk, buffalo, moose, and bear that I recall immediately...

    That is awesome. Psh... not impressive? Maybe to the rest of the world. To us? We totally get it. It starts with one day. Next thing you know it'll be two, then three and eventually you'll stop counting. They'll just be intermittent good/bad days. (That is where I am.) Congratz on being normal!

    There are a lot of things that make people sick, many people get sick from gluten free products. I didn't realize how sick I still was getting until I cut out most processed foods. Something all of us need to accept and investigate is that gluten is not always the culprit, as easy as it is to point our finger at it. Sure, you were still eating this every...

    Low iodine means... *gasp* giving up dairy. At least most of the time. While milk has an inherent amount of iodine, I would not do well without my milk. If you live in Utah I can direct you to a dairy that sells raw milk and that does not contaminate the milk with betadine through the milking process. Most go with a dairy substitute since it can be difficult...

    Only as much as you feel you need to really. I would have no issues sharing stainless steel pots if I weren't a paranoid, anal retentive, OCD freak. There really is no reason not to use the same of anything that can be thoroughly scrubbed. Just keep a cutting board or two, maybe a nonstick pan because who doesn't need at least one for something and whatever...

    WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Party time!

    Don't fret, the storm is so fizzled it is pathetic. They said we'd get over a foot too. Psh... inches, just inches. Done snowing here though so it is ON ITS WAY! Get to the store today and you won't be flinging yourself off any mountains. Don't forget the Chex, Pebbles, and other goodies to make treats with. Oh right... and my margarine, butter type...

    Welcome! How can you make it easier? Breathe, take it easy and go to your nearest Walgreens and buy a backscratcher. (I'm only half kidding, I have 2.... who needs skin? ) Head over to the DH section of the forum to get all the super secret info about iodine and the rash. If I'm totally honest, I'd rather have rampant, explosive "D" that keeps me running...

    It wasn't meant to be.... SHE STARTED IT!!! *points at IH*
  22. Adalaide
    She basically described you as a smore, sans chocolate. Can you really blame anyone for wanting to bite your fingers off? Personally, I'd slather you in chocolate first but that is just a personal preference. Your lifestyle will soon not involve the forums because you won't be able to type unless you learn to do it with your nose.

    Can you see a doctor who isn't a moron? When the tests come back negative you can take a bunch of literature in with you, but a doctor probably won't respond well to an "I told you so" so I'm not really sure what else to say. I can't imagine any circumstances under which I would eat bread, I certainly wouldn't recommend it to someone else.
  24. Adalaide
    Tests for barley gluten are notoriously inaccurate. Even if I were a drinking girl I wouldn't drink something that says right on the package that it is made of what is essentially poison to us.
  25. Adalaide
    This and little mini pavlovas drizzled with chocolate? I think I just found the absolute perfect dessert combo. I could kiss you right now!!
