    Want mine? I see her 2 or 3 times a week. I'm sure even my husband would be willing to give her away right now. I'm a horrible person when I'm glutened too. I can't even go to Wal-Mart because if one person looks at me funny I'll start thinking things like "I swear to God if you so much as open your mouth in my direction I'll stab you in the eye with...

    Know what's the most insulting? Based on when I started feeling sick, I'm 99% confident I picked it up at the Expo. I am 100% sure there were irresponsible people there who didn't belong there. Someone in line early had a lady join them with her daughter who wasted no time in proudly stating she had pink eye. My immediate thought was "what the holy hell...

    Mac and cheese with stewed tomatoes is awesome!!! They used to serve that at the school I went to and I loved it so much. I was the only person who would do double lunch tickets that day, most people just had milk or milk and fruit. Good luck with the not getting sick thing. Didn't work out for me, so you can have my leftover luck that clearly I didn...

    That is completely normal, recovering celiac behavior. Many of us can remember that in the early weeks after diagnosis we were starving pretty much 500% of the time. For the first time her body is getting only food that isn't (for lack of a better term) poison to it. Some of us probably thought we were going to eat ourselves into the poor house. My recommendation...

    I still want nothing but soup and frankly don't have money to throw at cans of soup every day. Not that I have a choice, but I don't want to cook either. I'm going to just pick up some already cut up veggies, throw them in a pot with some chicken and stock and boil some rice a bag. Bam! Dinner for the weekend. I'm frankly too sick to give a crap what my husband...

    I also have never seen an artificial sweetener with gluten. That said, every person is different. Some tolerate large amounts of some things with no issues while some simply don't tolerate the any. For instance my husband can not tolerate the sugar substitute in sugar free candies in any amount without getting violently ill. On the other hand, I can eat a...

    You'll probably have a crust of ice on your windows when you get back! I can't figure out why you don't just stay in Croatia. A perfect paradise sure sounds better than living in a freezer box.

    That's a good thing! Doing tests instead of sending you home and waiting for your daughter to end up with a life threatening low is a far superior course of action then "meh... why should I care? I'm only her doctor. Go home and ignore it, serious medical conditions are nothing to get worked up about."

    I'm pretty sure I could out anal retentiveness you. And that old lady sounds fun. I'll bet you can find more and more interesting ways to get her so flaming mad you wonder if she's going to have a stroke with just a little creativeness. Yeah, I'm one of those people who will be offered a plate of cookies and I'll look at the person and in my head be...

    My personal recommendation would be to use the King Arthur. A fair amount of people have an aversion to having their sweet baked goods taste like beans, frankly it's nasty. And I know this may seem silly, because we're all celiacs here... but don't get offended if she doesn't eat them. Unless I know someone and have been to their house and personally...

    The reason it isn't covered by insurance is because insurance companies consider it to be experimental/unproven. Open Original Shared Link As pointed out, it is not a valid medical test for celiac and can not be used to diagnose. This is a fun website that I find has lots of interesting information about "medical" tests, practices and such. Open...

    I'm sure someone will use the recipe if you post it. It does sound yummy. Last night: chicken and wild rice soup (from a can) Tonight: cilantro lime chicken soup (from a can) Why? Because what I thought was worse than usual allergies because my husband was hanging out with his cat turned out to be a cold.... that actually turned out to be the flu...

    Yeah... this is the sort of pill I would never consider taking. I find it absurd that people would want to considering the side effects of most pills that are taken on a regular basis. You get "minor" like gas, bloating, fatigue, constipation to more life altering like anal leakage, suicidal thoughts or actions, X Y or Z organ damage. Um... aren't things...

    I put all my photos on photobucket then link them with the "Image" link. I use the tools on photobucket to size and crop the photos the way I want them to look when I post them. I believe, although I could be wrong, that it is the "direct link" url that you use from photobucket to link them.

    Wow! She really whipped them into shape. If only all dietitians were so up to speed on celiac we would live in a much better world. I'm sure what you need to be doing is eat, eat eating so keep at it. Sounds like you're finally on the right track and will be getting in ship shape in no time. And now your husband can stop spending so much time stressing...

    Still dry but cold here. We managed a non-drill fire alarm going off at the school. Spent 20 minutes out in the cold waiting for them to figure out what was going on until they let us back in to warm up. Brrrrr!!!!
  18. Adalaide
    I'm also open to the idea of pills that are meant to help prevent us from getting sick on the occasions we choose to do something like eat out when we don't know if we'll accidentally ingest a small amount of gluten or not. What I am not open to is this idea I have seen that we need a pill that will allow us to eat whatever we want, whenever we want...

    My husband is still a freak gluten eater. He was more than happy to take half my bagel last night. I warned him though that I needed the remainder for breakfast for 3 days of work and that if he wants bagels he can go buy crappy ones at the store. It is kinda nice having someone who knows what the gluten world still tastes like so I know that I'm not just...
  20. Adalaide
    OMG I KNOW RIGHT!!!! Do you think we could live off of bagels? People will only think we're crazy until they taste them. (I may actually be crazy, but that isn't the point.)

    Much to the delight of neighbors and passerby I'm sure!

    It's so unfair!!!! I'm pro-ocean but anti-humidity. I love love love the desert too much to leave. I need a desert with an ocean attached.

    Is it just me or is someone looking a little yellow? And fat? And bald?

    Sometimes people steal other people's sayings because saying the things in their head would be crass, crude and explicit. I can either have an anger management problem or a swearing problem, I choose to have a swearing problem. In the future though I'll try to remember my ™. As penance I'll have an oatmeal butterscotch cookie for dessert with my lunch, ...

    We've got those here, but dry for now. It was a bit below freezing this morning, I needed my gloves! My winter coat is still waiting its first donning in the coat room though. I keep telling myself that as long as I don't need it it really isn't that bad yet. Besides, a quick jaunt to work at 30 isn't so bad in long sleeves and is far more effective than...
