Just popped in to wish Emily a very happy birthday. And Amanda, congratulation on your coronation! What a fine Queen you will be.

This is gross, but I have to ask it:

After you get "glutened," does anyone else have problems with having D, but D that almost "burns" as it comes out of you?

Like an idiot, I ingested Gluten last night at a Halloween Party (Could not resist everything!!) I got home this morning and am sick to my stomach and had D that actually hurt when coming out. It's also very, very stinky and very, very dark in color...almost black.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yup, that's what happens with an autoimmune response to gluten when you "just can't resist" . Sooner than later, you'll find that it's just not worth it. Hope that the other, more significant issues haven't settled in by then.

That's a good one, Jess. On the menu for this week!

Hey Tori

Glad that you FINALLY found us!

We have lots of teens here and they love to chat. I'm glad that you love to cook and here on this site we have some really drop dead recipes. You have alot to explore here.

My daughters rode English also. They got involved in combined training and loved it. Girls and horses are special.

Well, welcome to us and glad to meet cha.

Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes. I think it's about time that Scott leaves our ages off the birthday list. I'm with you Jestgar!

I had a great lunch with the Chic's, dinner tonight with friends and the family dinner tomorrow night. Life is good.

There are some really great people here and I've made some forever friends.

Thank you!

I have been following the gluten free diet for 3 days now and have no pain and no bloating. I also feel more energetic. Could it possibly be an allergy without being Celiac? Anyone else have a negative blood test but did have Celiac?

You are quite lucky to have you symptoms turn around in such a short time. It takes some many months to feel a differences and many several years to completely heal.

You could be gluten sensitive or have an allergy (to include topical issues). I glad that you continue to feel better.

Starbursts aren't gluten-free. I wish, but they aren't. You need to look for anything with Modified food starch... that's flour. Good Luck!

kbtoyssni also commented on this statement.

"You need to look for anything with Modified food starch...that's flour." IS NOT CORRECT

Modified Food Starch in the US is corn derived unless otherwise stated...it is not FLOUR.

I get my blood work done about once a year to make sure everything is within range. I am great now, but last year I was low in Folic Acid and B-12. During that time, I felt that my equilibrium was out of wack and low energy. I had B-12 shots once a week for a month, then every month for a bout six months.

It made a great difference.

I think it very important to have routine blood work. It can reveal so much.

Great Idea! There are so many people that I often wonder about. I'd love to hear from them.

After a much debated 17 page thread, it was concluded and verified that the "glue" in paper towels and toilet paper is composed of Modified Corn Starch - Not of a gluten worry.

So I know there are companies that will "clearly list all gluten" (Like Kraft for example) and I'm just wondering does that mean it will say "Wheat" "Barley" "Rye" etc.... or does it mean it will list the things on that ridiculously long list?

"Wheat", "Barley", "Rye", "Malt" - clearly

I tried to post a link and unable too.

Google "Gluten Free Candy List" and you will find the 2006 ROCK List.

It's not guarenteed current, but close.

Happy Halloween!

Sometime, randomly that will happen to me. As you said, go to Options and click onto Standard. That should bring you back to normal postings and viewing.

B-12 helped me tremendously with the dizzies.

Violet,

My heart goes out to you and all your friends as I watch the scenes on TV. I have lived through a natural disaster, but yet, I can't imagine a fire and the domino effect it eventually will have.

I hope that everyone will be safe.

McD's fries have been discussed here at great length. You can do a search here to get both points of view.

With that said, the Celiac Sprue Association had deemed McD's Fries to be safe for Celiacs to consume. They do have dedicated friers.

I eat them without issue. It's a personal choice.

I am sorry that you are going through some tough times. I think everyone of us who have had children have experienced times like this. I have had many a tear in my eye when I left the room.

Teenagers are inherently self-centered and they are struggling with the loss of their comfortable childhood and finding their place in an adult world. They fit into neither. These are the "it's all about me" years. It is very natural for you daughter to gravitate to the one that meets her needs with the least amount of resistance, or buying affection. Or maybe she is just angry at the situation she finds herself in and doesn't know who or what to blame. So everything is fair game.

You stand tall, continue with your education and show by expample that you are owed the respect from your daughter as well as others. As time goes on, you will see that pride in her eyes.

Things will get better.

Thanks Scott. Much appreciated.

I raised two ( <-------- those two). Now 23 and 26 they realised that home and family have a new importance.

The advise that I would share is.....That when they do and say things to get a reaction or are being insightful, DON'T react. Have a blank expression on your face. It will drive them up a wall!!!

Wasn't it Katherine Hepburn who said "Old age ain't for sissies"? Hummm

Does anyone know of the gluten free status of Simvastatin (generic Zocor)?

Thanks,

Yes, it is gluten free. Just found out.

Yes, I get the same.

Obviously, the site is getting some formatting updates. When you click on site index, it will redirect you by way of www.celiac.com. Click on that and it will bring you to the new format and on the left side of the new green page you will find the previous information on the old site index.

Or you can choose the "Site Map" on the home page.

oh oh oh..... That is what I am getting sporatically--- Clicking on "last unread" button and it will take me to the first post of the thread (and I have already read that and several after that).

Same as Peter.

I am sure that Scott would like to know about these inconsistencies.
