  1. Camilla: In my almost 51 years, I certainly have learned that men deal with things differently then women. That is truely a duh...statement. (without the premisis of offending the men on the site, I will be specific). My husband is one that wants a routine. He truely cares about my health, but is quite upset when things are different, not normal...
  2. Bernese: Apparently, I am learning that many people have different levels sensitivity. Perhaps you are one of them. Try as you have indicated, a three week, break from the horse and see how you feel. I don't know what your recovery period is after "glutened". Maybe three weeks may be enough for you to determine where it is comming from. ...
  3. Haven't had the energy to order specialty food yet. But, I had a good laugh after reading your post. Lisa B.
  4. That was VERY informative. I have always hear that if your abs are weak, it may put strain on your back, when standing, sitting and bending. I am assuming that most of us with celiac disease have bloating and have had for many years which would lead to the stretching and weakness of the ab muscles. So... butt building for me. I have always thought...
  5. Are you careful around the horses? Wearing the mask, gloves, washing your hands well, etc?
  6. When they sink..........it's a good day. (2 months gluten-free) Lisa B.
  7. Jackie: Another good source for information is the Celiac-Spru Association. You can find their site on the internet. They just sent me a packet with all sorts of information as well as a printed gluten-free Food Product listing that you can touch and take with you. (a bit large, but tranportable). They have brochures about "What is Celiac Disease...
  8. I just recently found that Oil of Olay multi-vit are gluten free. Maybe that might help
  9. Jen: I'm in NC near the Outer Banks. Where are you going for vacation.? Lisa B.

    ARCHIVED Applebee's

    Thanks for your input. I am still in the beginning stages of deal with eating out. I used to LOVE it, but now, it's better if I eat at home......that's the pitts. I have been a far better cook than any restaurant that I have been to locally. So the money that is being saved from eating out, should go to my grocery money....don't you'all thing. Probly...

    ARCHIVED Applebee's

    Today we had lunch at Applebee's as I watched my husband eat what I wanted to, I ordered a Ceasar Salad (without the Croutons). I asked the manager if it was made with distilled vineager and he came back and said that all their salad dressing were made with distilled vineager. So, I chomped down, while drooling at my husbands plate. Three hours later...
  12. Boy, I am truely sorry to see this saga end. Better than a good book. Better than a good soap-opera I'm really glad that everythings has worked out. See, it's not such a big deal. You both really cracked me up. It was fun to read Thanks for taking the time. I am sure that it will help others through their own testing. Lisa Baker
  13. Thanks Shirley, good to hear from your.
  14. Good luck to the both of you. I am glad that you are in good company. Let us know how you are doing. Lisa B.
  15. Mark: I have tried to be gluten-free for TWO months since diog. with possitive biopsy. My system has not healed enough to know when I have been glutened or not. I am trying to go 100% as best that I am able. Slowly but surely, I have good days, about every other day. I take b-12 shots once a week and it really gives me big boost in energy. If you...
  16. Hey Guys: Just got a hint from another post and didn't want it to get lost. I have off/on major "Dry Mouth". It comes and goes with no consistancy that I have tried to work out yet. (tongue -whiteish) I have noticed that after I have a cig (I know, slam me later) my mouth is very dry. But other than that is occures inconsistanly..... It could...
  17. Shirley: I just noticed that you mentioned "dry mouth". That is a big issue for me. I assumed that it is because of the "big D" issue and it most likely is. I was glad that you mentioned that. It is not a diabetes issue with me. Some days are dry, others are not. I have not found any consistancy with it. I, sometime have to conduct public meetings...
  18. That might be a good idea. Also, it might be helpful to pre-register at you local hospital, and indicate that you have celiac disease or other complications of the disease. That way your information is already logged on if you need to be admitted for other reasons. Smart thinking.
  19. Bellybattle: Sometimes when someone post a site, we all chime in. I hope that much of what you have read will make you feel better about your proceedure. We often get side tracked. I was worried and nervous, that is natual before something like this. It will be ok. Trust your doctor and ask as many questions that you feel you need to before...
  20. Rachel: I know that your are a little doppy right now. Glad you are home and confortable. It is a relief when it is over, but the proceedure, you just don't remember. Wish childbirth would have been that easy. If I wasn't too old, next time I would holler for drugs. I "think?" I had hiccups, it sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe that is the reason...
  21. Stephanie: Have your mom there or your husband. You will need someone to drive you home anyways. They may not be able to be in the room as the proceedure is being done. My gastro dr. was able to tell my husband "what he saw". My husband suffers from CRS (Can't Remember S...) so.........tell whom ever brings you to have some paper and a pen/pencil...
  22. I had an endosopy two months ago. I can attest that the worst part of it is the anxiety before. My father used to say "expectation is always greater than the realization". In this case it is true. The nurses are always very nice and calming. They even put on music to calm the patients. They will put on a blood pressure monitor on you through the proceedure...
  23. Dr. Bev: Wishing I was with you... take some logs for me on the trails. (makes me feel young again...I am young, just older that you.) Lisa B.
  24. That is a wonderful idea to link into the hospital. My "new Doc" is very active with the hospital and he could get me started. I signed a release form today at his office to get the Gastro. Dr. records (that biopsy confirmed celiac disease) not quite sure that I have him on board yet. I am glad that he is questioning. I would love to be there with...
  25. Hey Guys: I have been here alot, but now it's about my daughter. Annie is 21, living at home and attending college and getting ready to be married June 10. I guess, like mother, like daughter.....She wakes up every morning with a terrible headache. She does not get three meals a day as she is 21 and not going to classes on that day wakes up to eat...
