    ARCHIVED Grrrr....

    We haven't been eating wheat since time began. Wheats been around for about 10,000 years, and has only been in western Europe for about 2,000 years. As far as evolution goes, thats not exactly a very long time. Open Original Shared Link It seems like a really long time but genes just don't change quickly. Elonwy

    Oh yeah - the other thing I do is get the contessa ( or whatever brand as long as they don't put crap on the veggies) frozen stir-fry meal kits, throw away the sauce packet and use my gluten-free sauces. Then I put it on rice or I get rice noodles and toss em in at the last minute ( you only boil them for like three minutes so if do everything at the same...

    My favorite method for fast and easy dinner is poaching/pan steaming. I take chicken or beef or fish, saute it to seal in juices in olive oil, then throw in any veggies or potatoes or spices or whatever, some broth or water then cover and walk away for twenty minutes. If you need a side then rice ( I have a rice-cooker/steamer best invention EVER) or Kinnikinick...

    Oh Man, Can anyone tell that I just started flipping out?? I'm not even sure why I grabbed the can, it was on the "i'm not sure if I can eat this yet" shelf. AAAAAAAAAA <sigh> Elonwy

    Ok I just found this in the Delphi list : S&W Fine Foods (ve=11/01/02) (000.000.0000) (www.swfinefoods.com) Canned Tomato products Am I ok??? Elonwy

    I was making dinner and grabbed a can of S&W petite cut Tomatoes Diced with Sweet ONions & Roasted Garlic in Rich Juices. I dumped it in the pan, then realized that maybe I couldn't eat it. I can't find S&W tomato anything on the Delphi lists, and I found an old list that said all S&W tomato products but it was updated in 2002. It has spices...

    Yeah I have some in my freezer because I only saw soy as an allergen as well and figured they were ok. What gives? Elonwy

    It's official. A box from Pamela's was on my doorstep today addressed to "informal LA Celiac support group". I was so excited I had to peek inside and it is crammed with goodies!!!! I didn't actually read the labels though, to keep the suspense going. We haven't even met up yet and I already feel better Elonwy

    We're starting one here in LA, kinda informal at this point, but we'll see. I just emailed Kinnikinnick and Pamelas, and they sent out boxes the next day. They like two weeks notice, but everyone was super nice about everything. Elonwy

    ARCHIVED Doctor Admitted He Was Wrong

    elonwy posted a topic in Doctors

    I went to the GI today because he had requested I come in for a follow-up. I figured I would tell him a thing or two, and that would be it. He had different plans. He said he was wrong. He said he was sorry that he made me wait while he checked other stuff, but that he wanted to be sure ( not what he said b4). He said he wanted to confirm my diagnosis of...

    My sensetivity is still adjusting to me being gluten-free, But I'm clearly more sensetive than I was. vodka, whiskey, etc used to give me a horrible head-cold like sensation, runny nose, sneezing stuffy head, and I have no idea if thats a gluten reaction or not. I've stopped drinking those, and i'm fine with tequila and rum, so I'm pretty sure it was a...

    ARCHIVED Awareness

    elonwy replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I got my Celiac bracelets! They're green and pretty cool. I'm going to start passing them out today at school. Only giving em to people that'll wear them, but I already got about 6 people that say they will. ELonwy

    Someone else ( It might have been celiac3270) posted a link to a Celiac Specialist who had a bunch of papers online. I've lost track of it unfortunately. One of the things he said on it that amazed me was that Lactose intolerance is really rare in Caucasians and that anyone of European descent who shows lactose intolerance symptoms should get tested for...

    I think it's the microwave. When I use the toaster oven I'm fine, but I nuked a tortilla uncovered in the microwave and felt queasy for a few hours. We're talking plain corn torilla -gluten-free., nothing on it. I thought I had cleaned it well enough, but bf doesn't understand the whole - cover your food it explodes thing. I'll scrub it to death again and...

    I'm a PeptoBismol Girl. Gets me through the day. And the night. what kind of statement is "if it helps you it can't be Celiac???" These idjits make so much money to speculate about crap they don't really know about. My doctor told me my intestinal damage wasn't "that bad" so I didn't HAVE to go on the diet YET. And that's after my blood test came back...

    I'm having the thing with the bladder infection that isn't actually a bladder infection. Its been driving me crazy. And I've been having the pain and dryness. Dammit. I'm waiting til after my next period, because I was on so many antibiotics and stuff after my endoscopy that I'm waiting to see if everything resets ( often bladder and yeast infections clear...

    Grr it's sweetened with Splenda. Splenda can cause issues with anyone who has IBS-like symptoms, just to warn people. The one good call my GI ever made was to tell me about that, because Splenda does cause cramping when I eat it. It's a bummer, the regular stuff makes my eyes cross when I eat it 'cause its so sweet.

    ARCHIVED Chipotle

    elonwy replied to grantschoep's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I spoke to a nurse once in the hospital when my bf found out he had a shellfish allergy ( that was fun!). I asked how long it took for food to go through the entire digestive tract. She replies that normally it was about 3-6 hours, but if your body doesn't like something it can push it through in as little as half an hour!. So if your body is unhappy with...

    The two rudest reactions I had were from people over 40. I'm from a family that was very much about suck it up and deal, and I'm that way more so than my friends because of it, but I do think that as medicine has progressed and gotten less like voodoo, its much more acceptable to be sick and to have special needs of any kind. Some people progress, and some...

    Coke is gluten free, but you never know with some of the fountain drinks here. I feel pretty crappy today too, no throwing up but I'm tired and don't want any food. Feels like someone punched me in the stomach. It's possible it's just a little flu bug. A couple people I talked to today don't feel well either, and I've seen them recently, so who knows. It...

    I would get that too, it swhy I missed so much work, cause i felt like i was sick from a flu or something all the time, which led my boss to say. you should go see a doctor, and so on. Terribly achy feeling, tired, explosive. I have scented candles in my bathroom that are on any time a guest is by. Of course I also have the cat box in there, so I blame...

    Is it the squirrel with the bagel? or is it a picture? Elonwy
  25. elonwy
    So I tried to change my avatar, and put up a pic of me and my bf and all it did was squish the one I had and make it look weird. What gives? Elonwy
