Interesting topic and intriguing.

My Uncle and his daughter are red-headed. I have always had red highlights and of Austrian decent.

Red hair and odd body shape.......could this be an alien connection.

Bev, I suppose the South of France is on the Med???

..but I do tend to think of Mediterranean as being Spanish, Italian, Greek.....

Oh EXCELLENT BEV!!!!! LOL!! (snigger' Tony Big Boobs Blair'!!)

Which brings me to Bill Clinton...(.as a bloke of course !)....but I've always been strangely drawn ..... ....er, did I just admit that??

A White House intern, were we?

Bev:

These are wonderful, but cha gotta put the political ones up. Tooo funny.

Thanks lisa! Now I just have to find it - or order online...

It can be found in most any general groceries.

Liz - I see you mentioned BBQ sauce - have you been able to find a good gluten free brand? I got one at whole foods this past weekened and it was OK, but not great...

THANKS, Allie

I'm not Liz,

But Sweet Baby Ray's is the best that I have had and, of course gluten free.

Yup...This is our annual event. We usually have about 20 people over. The guys watch the game the girls watch the commercials.

Large Salad

Gluten cornbread for the others. (someone else makes)

Here's a Open Original Shared Link

She's beautiful, but I love mine more....it might be hard to give her up. Old Dogs, New Tricks, yada, yada.

Ahem....we need a picture of the Goose. We've waited long enough

Hmm..with duress, I will work on that issue. If I can e-mail a pic to someone, could they work to post this pic? Computers and I don't understand each other. And, I am please to do what I do. Karen so wonderfully found the best, most glamours goose that I have ever seen.

My father always said to me "the expectation is always greater than the realization". In this case, how true.

I will work on the realization.

It could be a caffeine issue, too. Caffeine is well-known for causing the runs!

Caffeine is a well known stimulant.

Without a doubt, food for thought for Richard. I am anxiously awaiting his reply.

Ah shucks, I'm a brunette, rathered salt and peppered, but still claiming.

Quietly raises her hand........errr ME.....kilts are creepy.

Ahhh, sweety, it's all in the mystery

I just googled "gluten free vacations" and there was quite a selection as well as dining places.

Give it a try

They need to re-design the pillow in the form of Depends, so we can be mobile.

I am sorry that you are feeling bad today.

Some times we just have to listen to our own bodies, no matter what others tell us.

You might not have celiac, which is indicated by the flattening of the villi in the small intestings. I am sure that you know that. You may have a gluten sensitivity, which is corrected with the same diet.

I too have found that the longer I am gluten free, the more sensitive I am to gluten, where as, I may not have been in the past.

This too shall pass, in the most literal way.

OOps, I missed the self-diognosed information. Thank you Patti.

I feel dumb asking this...are/is The Dells, a city or a region?

If it is a city, I have no information on restaurants. If there are surrounding cities, that I can look up.

Please tell me I am not the only person that will go into a movie theatre just to get popcorn and not actually go to a movie?!!!!

Welcome to the board!

Many of the symptoms that you have described can be attributed to Celiac. Many people often grain weight. In my case, I lost weight.

Diabetes is also associated with Celiac. If you scroll down on this sites home page, there are many article about Celiac Disease and related disorders.

If in fact, you do have Celiac, the only true cure (it is never cured, it is managed). is to be totally gluten free. This also included lipsticks, shampoos, toothpaste and many products have hidden gluten in their ingredients.

Should you or your doctors suggest testing, you must remain on gluten to achieve accurate testing.

We all know how overwhelming it can be in the search for good health.

If you have any question, always feel free to ask.

Love the new doo, it makes you look older and more refined.

So cute chickadees.

WHOA...it is working.!!!

You girls, don't be petting on me. It's so easy to do something simple. I think that Jessica wants to know what act of kindness has someone done for you or what you have experienced. Perhaps regarding you experience with this forum.

Seattle

Bonefish Grill

Chevy's Fresh Mex

OutBake Steakhouse

P.F. Changs

Ruth Chris

All Listed Have Gluten Free Menus

I hope you have a wonderful safe time.

All Coke and Pepsi products, which includes 7-up are gluten free. This might ease you mind.

Off hand I can't say about Mrs. Butterworth, but all Aunt Jemima's are gluten free, as well as Maple

Grove pure maple syrup.

Jessica, this is a good thread. Thank you for starting this.

I don't intend to be about me, we all can do these things.

Have you ever been behind a low income person, buying a loaf of bread and a package of sandwich meat in a grocery line. They put back the meat because of lack of funds. I paid for the man's sandwich meat. It cost me almost nothing and he would not be hungry.

There is an older Viet Nam Vet, in a wheel chair, who hangs around a convenience store here. When I go there, I buy him a cup of coffee. I don't know his name and he quietly tells me thanks.

These are simple gestures on our part, but, they can mean so much to others.

We hosted a foreign exchange student so she could experience this part of the world. THAT gesture will NOT be repeated.
