    Very good advice and reminding. Especially about not needlessly avoiding healthy foods that are not necessarily a problem. I personally think it is positively silly and possibly dangerous to start eliminating healthy foods from a diet without first giving your body time to begin to heal. This can lead to deficiencies that are completely unnecessary and could...

    I doubt I'm ever all there so I can hardly fault anyone else for not being altogether there. At least you're getting there. Hopefully all those mens are taking good care of you. What would we do without our mens?

    I just assumed that it was some sort of innuendo. The pudding was so good that it led to having.... other things. We all know what road my mind tends to wander down now.

    I obviously need to make people more afraid of me. There is no law in Utah preventing people from openly carrying so maybe I should just start that. That'll make people a bit scared. Nothing is legally stopping me from shopping at Wal-Mart with a shotgun or a handgun as long as it is openly carried and secure and unchambered. Or you know... concealed with...

    Hi. Welcome and stuff. Poke around, and get used to the lay of the land. Learn the ropes. Pull up a chair and get comfy because you'll be part of our club a while. Like... forever. Mwahahahaha! Poke your nose over here for some good beginner info. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ Poke your nose over here if you ever don...

    Since things seem to be moving along, I'd just let it do so. It is possible that you'll be sore and icky feeling for a bit while things get themselves worked out again. Now you can just focus on healthy things to get back to being normal and regular. Try to eat a diet high in fiber, even if that means you are getting your fiber mainly from fresh fruits and...

    Got a text yesterday afternoon asking me to sub today. Sure, what could possibly go wrong working on a Monday right? Well it turns out I hadn't left my house all weekend, not since Friday, so I didn't know what was waiting for me out front when I left my house. I was all set to head off to work this morning and hopped in my Jeep only to realize there was...

    It frankly doesn't matter if it bothered you before or not. Oatmeal that is not certified gluten free is not gluten free. You can either take your disease seriously, or not. We just got done with this discussion a week and a half ago. If you want your parents to take your disease seriously, you need to. Stop. Eating. Gluten. That means no oatmeal that isn...

    I'm also worried about the oatmeal considering your history you've posted with shopping and such. If it isn't certified gluten free, it isn't gluten free. The grits can pose the same risk even though they're corn. My first though on why you are experiencing this issue is that it is a reaction to what you did last Friday night. The repercussions of that...

    My first thyroid test after I went gluten free was 2.33, a year later it was 1.86. I have also had the antibody tests and such and everything was in the normal range so I don't think I'd be worried about a 2.4 as long as all of the tests are normal. And yeah... 3 weeks? I was such a mess that early. Sure I felt different, and noticeably better but that...

    If you go to the store to buy fresh mint it is $3-4 for a teensy bit, I figure I have easily $100 worth of mint in my yard right now. And it is probably 500 kinds of illegal to sell it. We have a market here that sells things like that, but there is all sorts of licensing and crap. At least once I have it as extract and oil it will be far easier to use....
  12. Adalaide
    I'm desperate. I don't know what to do. We don't drink, and even if we did we would have to be some hardcore alcoholics to use up all this mint. So, my solution? I'm going to the store this week to buy some vodka so make my own mint extract and mint oil. Yes, you use vodka for both. What else can I do? I feed a little every day to my bunny. I going to make...

    Those do look really good. I sometimes tend to avoid clicking links when I know it will only lead to baking. It seems I have now gotten myself in a mess because I'm pretty sure my husband would love these. The don't really have much lemon at all, so I doubt they'd set me off and I think I may just have to make some myself. Plus I need to make some mint brownies...

    I may be the hoarder in our house. But what if... But what about... But when... And pretty soon our closet under the stairs is full of crap that I don't even know we own. I actually have committed to cleaning out that closet and have two boxes of stuff that I haven't opened since I moved in when we got married. Pretty sure if I haven't missed it in over ...

    Since you pointed out that hemp made your stomach burn, and you are reacting poorly to smoking, it is entirely possible that you are simply reacting to the plant as a whole and are intolerant to it right now. Just as many here have had to give up a multitude of foods that may give us great pleasure to partake in, no, none of us need any of those things. If...

    That depends on what it is in a vitamin that makes you sick. I take Nature Made gummies that don't have iron in them because it is the iron in multis that make me sick. All Nature Made that are gluten free will say it on the back of the bottle, usually right over the supplement facts square. The brand has a whole bunch of kinds of gummies available so you...

    I have never encountered a single manufacturer that tests for the presence of gluten. I have called many, and they will make their standard statement about it being gluten free, not using gluten ingredients, blah blah blah, but then say something to the effect of "we do not test our final products for the presence of gluten" which is considered a CYA statement...

    I was thinking through several things myself. I waited to post because I wasn't exactly at my best yesterday. First, I would question whether or not your source is pure. Second, I'm going to agree here that I've also heard (although have no proof one way or the other) that rolling papers can be a problem. A pipe or bong would alleviate this risk, as would...

    We had a really early afternoon dinner of burgers. Hubs had fries (frozen) and I had brown sugar sauted pattypan and onions. Obviously one of us ate well and the other simply ate. We had also picked up a golden honeydew a few days ago and I don't really know how to tell if/when those things are ready so we just cut it up. O.....M.....G......that thing is...

    Archer Farms also has imported gelato. Just sayin. (I will not be held responsible for how much money gets spent tomorrow at Target. ) Some of their things are okay, others aren't, but they are really good about labeling for CC/shared facilities which I really appreciate. Hope you're feeling a little better by now.

    Most day I pick just a few little yellow cherry tomatoes off my plants. Yesterday I picked a dozen or so! So tonight I had pizza. I had gotten a sample pack of crusts from Venice Bakery from their gluten free friend promo and used those up. I made one into cheese bread with garlic and fresh mozzarella. I roasted my tomatoes until the popped, mushed them up...

    There are a lot of things that can prevent someone from joining the military, willingly or otherwise. Since it has been decades since the draft was last instated it isn't something that I think is worth wasting time considering. I will point out though that we have had members here who have been members of the military, so while it is possible that a diagnosis...

    If you really just want to buy a bar and want to try something different, I like both Kind and Trio bars. As for the Sukhi's, what their website lists is not what you seem to think is the case. While it says they test for gluten and take every step to avoid cross contamination, they do use a shared facility. Open Original Shared Link I would never make...

    You wouldn't be the first person to get sick from a restaurant, not even able to leave before becoming terribly ill. I've seen some people say they also get sick throwing up with it, and while that has rarely happened to me, I do get extremely nauseous. I simply hate vomiting and repress the urge as much as possible. That said, there was one time when I was...

    Crackers and cheese and fruit and chocolate? Sounds like dinner to me! I suppose tonight we're going to eat the rest of that boneless turkey thinger. I can make some gravy and smash some taters and maybe find something resembling a veggie somewhere. I still have a zucchini in the fridge. I had to do some errands today and it was 97 when I got home...
