OMG!!!! The Duke/ VCU game was crazy. VCU deserved the win.

You are very welcome and please always feel free to ask about anything. That's what it's all about.

Welcome back stranger! Lynchburg is a nice city. I am sure smaller than Nashville. I have family surrounding you but not in Lynchburg. It's my drive through to Roanoke.

Lovegrove is about 30-40 minutes away, perhaps he can be of help.

Again, welcome back Vincent.

Lisa

Thank you so much! 2 more things...1 Cheese 2.All,or most,veggies?? Thanks again,you've been a BIG help.

Cheese - alot of newly diagnosed celiacs have trouble with dairy. Although, almost all cheeses are gluten free. There is still some concern about starter molds, as in blue cheese and similar others, others feel that they are artificially induced. I have not issue with blue cheese.

All fresh veggies are gluten free. Canned veggies may have seasonings in that you may watch for. But for the most part, most likely not. But please read the labels.

Kraft foods and ConAgra are the good guys and will always list in their ingredients.

This is modified from a country cookbook I've had for years that has gluten in just about every recipe!

These are the measurements that worked for me. The original recipe called for 1/2 c milk and 1 egg, and I doubled those just because the dough didn't look right.

2 Cups Bob's Red Mill wheat-free biscuit and baking mix

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp dried onion flakes

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 dry white wine (I used Vermouth)

1/3 cup grated parmesan, divided (reserve 2 Tablespoons for topping)

Preheat oven to 400. Combine dry ingredients, not including parmesan

Beat eggs and milk, and add. Add butter, wine, and cheese, and beat opn high for 2 minutes.

Dump into buttered 8-inch square pan. Sprinkle reserved cheese on top. Bake for 25 minutes.

I have no idea how it keeps because we ate it all up. My gluten-eating husband and kids loved it!

This sounds so good....and easy. Thanks, this is one to try.

I think most mayos are ok, but Hellman's and Dukes are the best and I can guarantee they are gluten free.

I enjoyed the prayer.

I think that Roy can pull it off. GO TARHEELS.....let the madness begin.!

Has anyone heard from Tarnalberry (Tiffany)? I haven't seen her on here in awhile...

Laura:

She popped in today for a short post on "how do I post" on the Board/Tech Thread.

JEANNA...OMG......I THOUGHT ALL THIS TIME JESTAR WAS A MALE...BUT THEN REALIZED LAST WEEK HE WAS JUST A 'TYPING CAT'

LOVE THE AVATAR...JEANNA YOU 'GIRLIE, GIRL'

Nawl....that femine humor always shone through. Glad you're out of the closet Jeanna

I use Oil of Olay Vits. They list gluten free on the container. I always like to support that.

I'm a newbie just checking out the site. I'm in Raleigh, NC and a Tarheel...how's everyone today?

Go Tarheels!!! Let the madness begin. I'm east of you.

Instead of small amount of soy sauce, try the gluten free ones. LaChoy is gluten free.

I have found that the longer you are gluten free, the most sensitive I am to gluten.

If you are positive for Celiac, it most definatly will be a life style change. It is a steep learning curve, but it is doable

How were you tested?

HOLY MOLY (no pun intended)! When I responded to the original "Pork" item on this forum, I had no idea this would happen! I have been asked why I opened this can of worms...[am working on trying to respond to that 1:1, but haven't figured out how yet]. I didn't intend to get people all fired up. I was simply responding to something that piqued my interest and wanted to respond to, so I did--no impulsivity involved, just plain ole wanting to speak up.

Just to add a insy wincy bit of fuel to the fire: I don't know that this ISN'T the forum to discuss personal issues like faith or belief...I mean, if we're free here to discus the most disgusting of body functions, why not something beautiful like faith, as well? Belly of the whale, you know?

Happy Birthday, by the way

Hey Guys,

I just had my tTg rechecked - been gluten-free for 5 months now. IT'S BACK TO NORMAL! Hooray! I did a little happy dance at work today when I found out - haha.

And I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your help! I don't think I could've made it through my first few months without the wonderful advice and information from all of you

Lisa, I am so glad for you. Another success story.

Keep in touch, we got a pay it forward thing going on.

We all come from diverse places spiritually. I believe it is a personal issue. And on this forum, I feel that it should remain personal. I, too, have very strong beliefs about religion, but this is not to place for it.

As history reveals, religion can light fires here on celiac.com. Why don't we put this one out.

Rob:

Welcome to our world.

Celiac can have over 200 symptoms and you seem to have just a few. Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones that get an early diognosis. But, on the other hand, there are several people here that have Celiac and they have no symptoms. Celiac can cause damage, even if you are non-symptomatic.

I would not expect that you symptoms to worsen if you are totally gluten free. If so, they will improve greatly.

As you noted, gluten hides everywhere. Soy Sauce, toiletries, lotions, shampoos, (lipsticks ) and cross contamination is a biggy.

There are some great folk here that can get you started with some gluten free grocery store products, that will be helpful.

Again welcome and feel free to ask away...

Lisa

PATTI YOU'RE A DOLL!!

Just watch and it would wonderful. I think that we will hear more about Celiac in the future, thanks to Elizabeth and Heidi.

Nice picture Jerry. Glad to see you.

Does anyone know how to post a link to today's show. I tried to find it, with no success.

MY FRIGGIN CABLE HAS BEEN OUT ALL MORNING, and it finally came back at 2:00.

I missed the show

Jerry:

I always admire how you deal with your ailment with humor. And I am pleased to return it. You make our "crappy" world lighter.

You just need to decide which road you want to travel. It is your choice, your standared of living. There is no preaching from me. You are informed and well educated on the subject and you are capable of making choices on your own.

You know the deal. I don't think that you need any more ....

April 1, 2007 - anticipated.

Hey all. This is unrealistically hard to write about,but I have to start somewhere.

I seem to have some of the symptoms,but not all.I can eat a piece of Cheesecake no problem,

than next day have a sandwich,problem...Basically this is being asked with much respect and

as I've made an appointment with my Dr., I need some early advice. If I eat,say, a meatloaf and

pasta on the side,normally I have a normal "movement" the next day.Lately ,though, it seems that

even if all good as far as my moring "process",as soon as I eat lunch,in 30-60 mins I gotta go.Again I don't

even know if this is the right forum for this,but the net is not answering this for me.I'm 37 and led a pretty healthy

life style,no drinking/smoking,so as much as I'm scared it could be cancer I don't want to jump ANY guns.

Again if someone has had something similar happen to them,I'd appreciate any words! Also this has only started

to happen in the last four months to give a timeline,Thanks!

dublin1:

Fear not, we talk about poop all the time here. It is a common pastime for most of us. Please feel like you are home.

Questions: Are you stools abnormal recently. Do you have stomach cramping, nausea, urgency to go, discoloration or different in texture, acid in stools.....?

Fatique is often associated with celiac through malabnorbsion.

Celiac Disease has over 200 symptoms and not all of us are the same.

Please feel free to post more and add more of your concerns. There are alot of well educated, intellegent people who willingly are here to help newbies with their concerns. You will recieve more information here than your Doctor may even know.

Ask away and you can go into your Doctors office with valued information.

And, as always, welcome to the board.

Okay Jerry:

Two weeks, April 1st (not to correlate with April Foods Day), you will be subject to Ab's review.

Perhaps some motivation to keep away from the Girl Scout Cookies. We can't motivate you any other way.

April 1st begins "Abfrest" on Celiac.com. Ya need to borrow a bow tie?

Oh *groan*

It's March and Abfest1 starts on celiac.com.

It took me six months before a saw much improvement, although it was twoish weeks for the D to subside. It came and went depending on my education as to what I was eating. The learning curve is steep in the beginning.

Villi damage, gluten and dairy should be elimimated immediately. After the villi are healed you can try to add dairy and see how it goes.

Regarding a child, I would recommend to be as pure as possible for the time being. Once the D has stopped from some time, you can add on additive at a time and keep a food log. It is natural for it to be up and down at times.

I do not have a child with celiac and will defer to the experts in this field. Best wishes to all of you.

I absolutely can get some cooperation from the little woman...whe's quite willing to assist me shopping for gluten-free. She's also quite UNwilling to give up gluten and has made it quite clear that she's an addict. I believe her. So as far as cooking and eating...I'm on my own. On the plus side, my abs are beginning to become well defined!!

Well then, don't keep us in the dark.......show us the buff!!! (can't see from a distance, in the snow)

Do I have a witness???
