Day 2. SUCCESS! Great day on the golf course (I was "glowing" like a lightening bug). Hubs played well. I was stocked with pistachios and raisins and tons of water. Barbecue was yummers. Oh, and get this, a guy in hubs foursome SMOKED! I just steered the cart clear of him, he was kind of a jerk anyway. We got home and passed out in bed, it...

ARCHIVED Breakfast Sausage
GF Lover replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
IH, I first saw fennel seeds in Italian sausage, they looked like these worm things I found in an old box of rice years ago. I saw them in sausage on a pizza once and lost it. Do you think I have a bad relationship with worms? But, I will Crack one open and sniff. Maybe I can just grind up some and use it that way. That would be easier than 10 years... -

Yup, that's basically how I know I've had gluten. -
Day 1 in the bag. Kept busy all day. Twirling, music, cleaning. Then I packed up the golf cart with nuts, raisins and water. Drove hubs around while he and some friends played nine. Got my son over now to celebrate the 4th. Tomorrow is the big golf tournament and pool party and barbeque at the club. Should be a fun busy day. The Country Club chefs...

It happens when glutened, too much caffeine or stimulants, severe anxiety, have had it with heat exhaustion also. These cases are not as severe as being glutened but follow the pattern. -
ARCHIVED Breakfast Sausage
GF Lover replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Wow, never thought I would eat breakfast sausage again. It just doesn't sit well. I hope it's okay if I take the fennel seeds out, they freak me out just looking at them. Thanks again for the recipe. -
I'm turning in circles. Grooming the dogs. Pouring liquids down my throat. Have my ativan for when I flip out and I take trazadone at night so sleep is no problem. Thanks guys. I think ill clean out the linen closet

Okay. As of 1 hour ago I became a non smoker. I think the Doctor saying smoke and die miserably or quit and add years to your life really decided it for me. Along with Hubs saying, you already need an inhaler, maybe it's time to quit. Of course they are right and I have wanted to quit for some time but I think I'm scared enough to get thru it. I have...

ARCHIVED Tried Milk And Now Migraine
GF Lover replied to ShannonA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Shannon. Keep in mind that chocolate is a hugh migraine trigger. Also, if it's an allergy to milk as opposed to it cropping up after going gluten free, which is common, then the allergy may not improve or take much longer if there is improvement I hope you get it sorted out soon. -

ARCHIVED Humira, Enbrel, Remicade
GF Lover replied to saintmaybe's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
There are two other immunosuppressants that I've taken. Plaquenil and methotrexate (you have to take folic acid with this one. All of them have side effects. My rheumatologist took me off those two at the 1 year mark because of long term use concerns. I was on Dexomethosone longer but have also now stopped that. I was on anti inflammatory meds also which... -

Hi gluten-free. Yup, same thing. The cramps are quite severe, then the D and onto to C. I am prone to C so that doesn't surprise me. Have you been tested for Fat Malabsorbtion? The mucus your seeing may actually be fat. I have it and yes it can come out with or without stool. Can be small and mucus like or have a life of its own. May be something to... -

ARCHIVED Frustration To The Max
GF Lover replied to TTNOGluten's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
A few more thoughts for you. The high ANA is most likely un diagnosed autoimmune disease. In me, I felt like I was constantly on the verge of coming down with something, but never did, including swollen lymph nodes, sore throats. I also experienced vomiting in my mouth consistently. That one is esophageal disease. The acid irritates the throat, gagging... -
ARCHIVED Starving After Starting Thyroid Meds
GF Lover replied to SleepyBunny's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi Sleepy. You mentioned that your tsh was climbing when you last saw your Doc. Did the Wellness Clinic also test your levels? It may take up to a year to get the correct dosing. Also, people have different symptom reduction with trying different "brands" of thyroid meds. And remember, thyroid disease is for life, just like Celiac. No starting... -

Tweezers???? You couldn't even get a pair of tweezers around these things. They were about 5" long and almost 1/2" thick. I kid you not. They were well fed on tomatoes. It took me over a week to figure out what was eating them because they looked like a stalk from the plant and I couldn't see anything. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight, I just know... -

I tried to grow tomatoes last year and these HUGH GREEN WORM MONSTERS ate them. I actually saw these things and took a pic and sent it to my mom. Mom said use Seven pesticide, but I didn't like the idea of eating THAT STUFF. This year I am growing flowers.
