    What an awesome teacher! Your daughter is so lucky - Lauren

    OK back to the topic! I was a very picky eater as a child, and I can only imagine how difficult it was for my parents, as it is for you, to have to deal with this. I highly recommend the book "Cheese, Peas & Chocolate Pudding" if you can still find it - I remember it from my childhood, and it was all about a little boy who ONLY ate 3 things: cheese...

    I have HYPERglycemia, but from what you all share about your diets, it sounds very similar to what I'm supposed to follow: protein and fat with my carbs so my blood sugar doesn't spike. My fasting blood sugar is naturally high. That's odd to me, that two words that technically should mean the opposites (HYPER- and HYPOglycemias) actually have a similar...

    In England, they use wheat starch in "gluten free" products. Yeah, anything with the word "wheat" in it... I would be leary... - Lauren

    So... are you folks saying you would have done the rabies series? My doctor said that he had to contact the Center for Disease Control, which of course said locate the kitten. Well, I have no idea who the people were who took it. The doctor asked could I locate them- they were patrons of the restaurant - could I locate them through receipts. I said that it...

    My endoscopy was easy breezy. The only pain was actually from the biopsy - felt a little bit like I had done a few too many sit-ups, but nothing unbearable. I recovered from the anethesia quickly, and didn't have much of a sore throat either, from what I remember (it's been a few years). I was out for mine, only have slight memories of coming out of...

    Thanks again, everyone. I got a tetanus shot and a prescription for antibiotics. The doctor wanted to give me the rabies series of shots , but luckily consulted another doctor who said to just watch and wait, that I would most likely be fine. Thanks for all the advice, I'm glad I went to the doctor - if you all hadn't encouraged me to I probably wouldn...

    Thank you SO much to you all - I knew I could turn to you for advice! I called my doctor's office, and they want me to come in so the doctor can take a look at it. I'm headed in now. Thanks again for the advice - I'll keep it in mind when I talk to my doctor and hopefully won't have to go through any painful shots! (though they mentioned tetanus) Oh...

    Thanks for the replies. The problem is that these random people took the kitten, and I have no way of getting in contact with them. Had I been really thinking proactively at the time, I would have asked them to contact me, but I was just happy that someone was taking the kitten home, and I had to rush off to clean up the bite. I guess that makes this a little...

    Hey everyone, I know this is totally off topic, but I was hoping that with all the knowledgeable people here, maybe someone would have experience or advice to share. Last night I was working (I work at an Outback). I was getting ready to leave, when I saw couple of customers trying to catch a stray kitten in the parking lot. I joined in to help...

    Anyone know about the Rolaids soft chews? Thanks in advance. - Lauren

    Hi Emma I am a working on my Masters in Publication Management, and a couple of semesters ago, I actually worked on this exact concept for a class project! The class was Publication Budgeting, but the bottom line was that we had to devise a unique, marketable book and then figure out the details. I thought, "a gluten-free book for vegetarians...

    ARCHIVED Montel

    Lauren M replied to hannahsue01's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I just saw it! Cool! The only thing is that they didn't really say that gluten is more than just wheat - and Montel kept saying to look for the word "gluten" on wrapper. Siigh, if only it were that easy! Hey, I'm just happy to get a mention out there. - Lauren

    Laura, I had the biopsy myself. I just realized that my picture may be misleading - that's me with my baby cousin! If I had a child, of course it may be a different story. I can understand how you feel conflicted about the whole anesthesia/IV process. For me, it was no big deal, but of course I was 21 years old when I had it done. I did not go through...

    Dear Adelle, From one animal lover to another, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Growing up in a house that always had it's share of animals we had a saying when one passed: "It never gets easier..." Have you ever read the Rainbow Bridge poem? I love it, and even though it always makes me cry, it's beautiful and very comforting: Open Original...

    Just from the other side of the fence.... I am very happy that I got the biopsy. I know that I would have doubted the diagnosis otherwise (heck, I doubted it even with the positive biopsy!). Now I have a definitive answer. Also, for insurance purposes, it helps to have a solid diagnosis with what is still called the "gold standard" in diagnosing Celiac...

    Patti and mamaw definitely earn gold stars from me, plus they're local gals! Also, Jillian and mookie (Stef), though we don't see her around as much these days. One day I WILL have a fudgie eating contest with those New York girls! Also Armetta and everyone else who generously sponsored me in my walk for Celiac disease. They're openness to reach...

    I used this recipe as a basis for the potato soup that I made today. It was awesome and so easy! Of course it could be because the recipe calls for mashed potatoes, and I used Outback's awesome garlic mash... Mashed Potato Soup: - 1 Tbsp minced onion (I used McCormick's dried onion) - 1 Tbsp butter/oil - 2 c. milk - 1 1/2 c. mashed potatoes - salt...

    Hey that was me Isn't that the best stuff ever??? All Lesser Evil's flavors are good, but Sinnamon is delicious (this from a true choco-holic, so that's saying something that I prefer the cinnamon kind!) - Lauren

    Among my 20-something year old friends, I'm a health nut, but compared to some of the people on here... ehh not so much. Sweets are my weakness. But yes, this is only once a year, and plus, it does have the green beans - that's healthy enough right? The Funyons definitely are the key. Let me know how you like it! - Lauren

    Don't worry! My first gluten-free Thanksgiving was a disaster - I had only been diagnosed for about a month. I made a biscuit recipe, subbing wheat flour for the grittiest, nastiest rice flour - ugh, they were gross. Also, I bought a pumpkin pie from a local gluten-free baker, and needless to say, that wasn't very good either. I've learned a lot in the...

    Nini, I just have to say, I love how enthusiastic you are about the products you love. Thank you, it really makes being gluten free seem not-so-bad when I hear your rave reviews And I'm sure those who are new to the Celiac diet find your input helpful, too. I've bought the 1-2-3 pan bars, but I haven't tried the biscuits yet. I'll definitely...

    I've been purchasing their stuff for 2 years now, and yes it is a very expensive TREAT that I allow myself only about 2-3 times a year. You think the pizza is expensive, check out the lasagna! But let me tell you, the homemade spinach and cheese ravioli were something I never thought I could have again and their cinnamon rolls are hands down the most decadent...

    Open Original Shared Link May not sound like it, but it's really, really good. - Lauren
  25. Lauren M
    Not true. According to their website, the only Rice Express flavor that contains gluten is Sesame Teriyaki. Open Original Shared Link - Lauren
