    Wouldnt that be awesome if each and every one of us totally recovered!!! It might not be until after page 500,000 but still....it could happen for all of us!

    Patti and Celia, Its so funny looking at your "issues" in your sigs now. I wonder how many people will be totally confused by your "phobias"??

    Fun Fun Fun....I love doing stuff like that. Redecorating is so much fun. I cant wait to do my bedroom. I was redoing one room per year before I got sick...since then the only thing I've done is my scrapbook area. I posted it on another thread....it was so much fun designing and building it. When we moved in we didnt buy new furniture. Seemed to me that...

    LMAO I remember....I remember!! <raising hands and jumping up and down> Another one to add to the history of the OMG thread.....and the saga continues...

    Patti, I've been eating rice a long time now. Only brown rice. I probably have some almost everyday. It could be holding me back? If I dont eat rice I dont know what i can eat to keep some weight on. I cant eat avocados, nuts, oils, potatoes, dairy, etc. I'll for sure go under 100 lbs.

    Holy cow...we just reached over 2,000 posts. And still....no balloon drop. Shheeesh.

    Too funny! I love this thread....you never know where it may go from one minute to the next. I think I fell asleep for an hour or more. I am sooo off all the grains now. What about rice though....it doesnt seem to bother me too much.
  8. Rachel--24
    Hmmm...the more I read this the more confused I get. He's saying that oats and the alternative grains have lower concentrations of gluten and gliadin than the others but my belief was that oats did not contain gliadin or gluten at all. I thought it was just an issue of cc with oats. Also we know that some people react to pure oats because the immune system...

    Maybe it was destiny that I didnt go to the store and had to eat that quinoa or starve...on the very day I was having the ultrasound. I believe that stuff happens for a reason. If it werent for that craziness that showed up on the ultrasound and the problems I'm having since I dont think I would've given too much thought to the quinoa. Probabaly would have...
  10. Rachel--24
    Wow...I'm still pretty surprised by the info. about quinoa even though my own doctor told me to avoid it. I guess I thought he was the *only* one saying it so maybe it wasnt true. I'm gonna have to ask him about it again...he told me in the past many of his gluten intolerant patients react to it the same as the other gluten/gliadin grains. I didnt know...

    Its ok Mango....I went back and saw that you mentioned my reaction to the quinoa. It makes sense if thats what happened...thanks for posting that....I was destined to find it. Get packing....what day are you leaving? I'm so jealous....you get to see koalas!! I was talking to this girl on another message board and she lived in Australia...I told her...
  12. Rachel--24
    That would be so cool if thats what was going on on that ultrasound screen. She had never seen anything like that. I bet they've never studied reactions like that....having someone eat gluten and then doing ultrasounds and watching the intestines. I get fascintated by this stuff...unfortunately we'll never really know the answer. Funny thing is...I get...
  13. Rachel--24
    Woah... I just found this on another thread. It was info about sub-clinical gluten intolerance posted by Mango. This is only a portion of what was posted: Hmmm..maybe I really was glutened on Thursday. Maybe thats what the doctor was seeing in "real time". An actual glutening. I had eaten the quinoa about 5 hours before my appt. If...

    Julie, I just ate a banana thinking the same thing. I tested sensitive to them but I think eating one wont kill me. Also, I've never seen anything wrong with your spelling. You're an excellent speller...in fact I think we all are.

    I've made several trips to the bathroom this morning. Theres always alot of oil floating on the water. Yesterday when I got off work I ate a bowl of creamy brown rice cereal. Thats about when I started to feel better and had a normal bm. I think I'll try that again. My mom says rice can be binding so maybe thats why my d stopped yesterday. Hopefully it works...

    Patti, I dont eat any legumes anyway (except for the peanut butter I tried) so now thats all the more reason to stay away. YAY!!! And then I go on to live happily ever after. Until the very end when you see that all of a sudden I get bloated again. and the spooky music is playing and then you just know there will be a part II.
  17. Rachel--24
    EEEEW....that just grosses me out. I can use a gas station bathroom if I have no other option but NEVER would I go in barefoot. GROSS
  18. Rachel--24
    The alien baby thing cracks me up!!! I wasnt really laughing when it was flashing through my mind at the doctors office though.. I never saw Rosemary's baby....I've heard of it though. I'm pretty sure I saw alien a long time ago...I dont really remember it. Julie, I'm pretty sure its a fat thing. When I eat fatty foods alot of the...

    Susan, I spend most of my time in the Bay Area cuz thats where I work, grew up, etc. Its where all my friends are. I bought a house in Manteca almost 7 years ago so thats where I live. I love it there. I used to commute but now that I got sick and the gas prices are through the roof I just stay in the Bay all week and go home on the w/ends.

    Patti, I cant eat any nut butters. I tried almond butter, hazelnut butter, cashew butter...etc. I never feel good after but I never got all the burping and d from them. I havent had any in a long time and this time I got good ol peanut butter since all the other ones messed me up. All beans get me bloated. Peanuts are a bean right? Are beans harder to...

    Andrea, I had an upset stomach all night, cramping, gas, etc. Woke up with d again. Good thing is I think I figured out the cause. After my obgyn appt. Thurs. I went to whole foods and I bought some peanut butter. I dont ever eat nut butters but I dunno....I was craving it I guess. Maybe it was the alien baby inside me telling me to get it. I...

    I wasnt feeling any jumping going on at the time of the exam....I was just bloated and had that ovary pain...probably from the pressure. The next day there was alot of gurgling and rumbling going on and the d to go with it....I had cramping alot yesterday but it wasnt going on during the exam on Thurs.. She was seeing something that I wasnt feeling yet. She...

    ARCHIVED Sulfites

    Rachel--24 replied to Rhonda's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Rhonda, Thanks so much for starting this thread and for doing so much to help Tanya. I've studied and researched sulfites alot but its still hard to figure it all out. Do nut butters contain any sulfites if they have no ingredients other than organic peanuts? Thanks for all your imformative posts. I agree with Tanya, you are a Godsend.

    Between the two of us he wont be getting any work done.
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah....he is very personable and so up to date on all this stuff. I could have talked to him for a long time...well I did...but I could have just kept talking all day. I felt great after we hung up. Thats why I wish I could call him everyday that I feel bad....his words were just so reassuring.
