    Hey everyone - I will be in Chicago/Illinois area the first weekend of October. If you want a session on Oct 5 - I can work one or two sessions in. :)

    Whenever I get an unexpected awesome parking spot at the mall, I feel like that's the universe telling me I should buy all that crap I don't need.

    I was asked today when my intern presentation would be. ("Uh, no, I'm a Senior Analyst.") I'm going to go ahead and assume he meant that because I'm appear so young and energetic - not that I seem like an unprofessional newbie.

    Nice glass of wine and some chocolate. Ok, more like "plastic cup of wine and a handful of chocolate chips."

    Whenever rap music comes on I have an unstoppable urge to dance like a cheesy stupid white girl.

    When it takes over 20 minutes to move your car about 50 feet to the loading zone, you know you picked a terrible day to go to Ikea.

    One of these years I want to go to Burning Man. Who wants to join me? HA.

    My goal is to be confident enough to go to a yoga class in only my sports bra and shorts ... Clearly the easiest way to do that is just to drink a lot before I go to class.

    Hey friends that are not single ... please don't ever tell single people "You're so awesome/pretty/cute/funny/insert your word here, how can you possibly be single?!" As if being single means there is something wrong with me? Sure, I could be coupled if I settle, but how 'bout I am waiting for someone equally awesome/pretty/cute/funny (and they need to buy me a gluten free cupcake from time to time). THAT is why I am single. I'm holding out. :)

    $900 for a dog dental cleaning (well, and teeth extraction)?! Damn being a smush face dog owner in Southern California. Off to compare prices before I cry for all of the shoes I won't be able to buy.

    Hope all of my Elsinore friends' homes are out of harm's way! Seeing lots of photos on my feed today and first thing on the LA news tonight was the fire. I hate fire season. :(

    Hi Chris - I have increased feelings of anxiety when I've been glutened (increased heart rate, being on edge, etc) but otherwise the rest of my anxiety seems to be separate from my Celiac disease. Have you met with a psychiatrist?
  13. Melissa Palomo
    This is a big pet peeve of mine - people that claim disease/intolerance and then don't abide by the diet. But - while it annoys me I also kind of feel sorry for these people - because they're either in denial or don't understand the severity of the disease. And they're really only hurting themselves (well, and making it an uphill battle for us in some cases...

    I eat out way more than I should - but at the same few places. Mostly the local taco shop for work lunches -
  15. Melissa Palomo
    I hear you - people bring in food all of the time and rarely is it something I can have... I tell myself it's easier to stay thin that way and then giggle when I realize they'll all hate themselves later for eating it. Cruel in my head? TOtally - but it's my survival mechanism.
  16. Melissa Palomo
    Joyful, I totally hear you! Thankfully I never had to deal with this issue, but I can understand the feeling of excitement when your body is doing what it's supposed to be doing! melikamaui - go to the dr and talk about it! Don't accept that answer just yet!
  17. Melissa Palomo
    We don't have a MM here in So Cal but I did try one while in GA and was fine... but I guess that's the risk with places that serve both gluten-free & nonGF items - especially pizza places! Seems 3/4 times I can be fine eating out at regular places and the 4th I can get sick. You really just have to determine if the risk is worth it for you, kwim? My reactions...
  18. Melissa Palomo
    REALLY interesting and thank you for sharing what you found! This is exactly the kind of information I was interested in - clearly just using the wrong search terminology!
  19. Melissa Palomo
    That's precisely the type of information/studies I was looking for - the claims of those who have been "cured" because as far as I can see - there aren't any. Any obviously I wouldn't expect to see any medical studies showing someone having been officially cured - but I am curious as to the chiropractor claims of being cured - what does that mean to them...
  20. Melissa Palomo
    Karen I am trying not to read in to what you posted but I'll admit I'm almost a bit offended at the suggestion that this makes me seem unreasonable and stupid - perhaps my post came off as though I was believing that this was true? I thought I made that quite clear - that I sit in the camp that I believe it can't be cured. (Was the "mmmhmm" in my post title...
  21. Melissa Palomo
    I totally agree - I sit in your camp. BUT I figured I'd ask as perhaps maybe someone had scientific info (even info AGAINST) as it seems to be an idea that's growing in popularity. I do think that this chiropractor firmly believes I can be cured with supplements & adjustments... which is primarily why I quit seeing him. And I do believe that my friend...
  22. Melissa Palomo
    Well - his belief is that if you have Celiac disease, it will right itself after the rest of your body is in order. You take supplements (I forget the names of the two he suggested to me - that I would buy through him, of course!), get adjustments, and get your mind back in a healthy state blah blah blah and the rest of your body will fix itself. Don't get...
  23. Melissa Palomo
    Oh I know - as mentioned it's not a belief that I subscribe to and I don't see this chiropractor any longer. I was looking for thoughts & perhaps others that have found evidence whether for or directly against this??
  24. Melissa Palomo
    Ok, I've done a little bit of research and come up empty handed on this. Last year I started seeing a chiropractor - it only lasted a few sessions before I realized we didn't mesh. In addition to chiropractic medicine, he also is into holistic care. I have a wrist issue, not the best posture, celiac disease, and thyroid issues so I figured I would love to...

    PF Changs & BJs serve Red Bridge - but honestly - if you're a beer fan, there's a good chance you won't like Red Bridge. It's great to have an alternative but I would prefer an alternative that tasted good...
