ARCHIVED Leep Procedure (female Question)
Felidae replied to Felidae's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences of LEEP. It's very calming to hear it from people who have been through it. Another question, did anyone have any problems with pregnancy after their LEEP? -
ARCHIVED Leep Procedure (female Question)
Felidae replied to Felidae's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yes, they said I will definitely need a ride home. Man, one girl walked out after having laser and all of us in the waiting room felt her pain. She walked in normally and had difficulty walking on the way out. She must have had a large area of her cervix done. I'm glad yours went smoothly. -
ARCHIVED Leep Procedure (female Question)
Felidae posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hello, I'm back from my holiday. Has anyone ever had a LEEP procedure for abnormal cervical cells? I just had my colposcopy and most likely the doctor will do a LEEP after she gets the results. I would like to hear about other peoples experiences with this procedure. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Restaurant In Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Felidae replied to mac3's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Western Sellers is the only liquor store in Alberta (that I know of) that sells Le Messagerie gluten-free beer. The only gluten-free beer in Canada. -
A long time ago, they said they couldn't confirm any of their ingredients would be free of gluten. I haven't asked lately, so who knows it may have changed.

ARCHIVED Jobs That Require Some Travel
Felidae replied to eleep's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I travelled most of the summer because I couldn't pass up the job opportunity. It takes a lot of preparation in the beginning, but by mid-summer, travelling became routine. I always made sure the hotel had a fridge and microwave. I would prepare suppers for about three nights and pack them in my cooler. Also in the cooler would be lunch and breakfast... -
Does anyone know if Pernod is gluten-free?
-
Yeah, Sobey's is useless for us. There is a lady at the Strathcona farmers market that sells gluten-free stuff, but I haven't tried any of her stuff. Also at the market is a farm that sells gluten-free meats, like deli meat, sausages, etc. I haven't tried these either, but the entire farm family is celiac, I believe. They have a website, but I can't remember...

I was there before I was gluten-free. But, you could always go to the grocery store or the market and get fresh fruit and other stuff. I love Hawaii.

ARCHIVED Concerned About My Husband ~ Symptoms....
Felidae replied to lakeslady's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It certainly won't hurt him to try the gluten-free diet. Give it a try for at least a few months and if he feels better then you have your answer. His body is trying to tell him something and I hope he figures it out. It's not very difficult if you stick to naturally gluten-free foods like fruit, vegetables, and meat in the beginning. You'll find lots... -
ARCHIVED Re-introducing Dairy
Felidae replied to germangirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
You'll get used to it. I found I went through withdrawal from dairy and it was difficult in the beginning. Try to replace dairy with something like nuts, nut butters, beans (such as make hummus or other dips), avacados, meat and eggs. After one year I can happily eat cheese again. But I actually love my coffee with Silk soymilk. -
There's a good number of us Canadians here and increasing!

Go right to Kinnikinnick itself. It is cheaper to buy direct from their store and they have many other cool items only for us locals. Planet Organic near Whyte has everything you could want or need. Save-On Foods has a good selection of various items. Safeway, Superstore and Costco have okay selections. Sobey's and IGA have pretty much nothing...

ARCHIVED Unexpected Positive Effects Of New gluten-free Eating Habits?
Felidae replied to munchkinette's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Some people have no noticeable changes. For me, many changes were immediate (within a few months) and some changes took up to one year. -
ARCHIVED Does Wine Have Gluten In It?
Felidae replied to mythreesuns's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Just to clarify, it is the vegan wines that are casein-free. Vegetarian means dairy and eggs are allowed. I think if you google vegan wines, you'll find a few brands available. -
ARCHIVED Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
Felidae replied to OzGirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I personally think it could be the gluten. I didn't realize that gluten was causing my anxiety and extreme worrying until I went off gluten. I am a very calm person now; it's really amazing. I lost all of my exam anxiety and little things that always bothered me stopped after being gluten-free for awhile. -
ARCHIVED Lifestream Waffles
Felidae replied to Chrisser's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know what you mean. I have resorted to using a waffle/pancake mix and having them only on the weekends as a treat. -
ARCHIVED Gfcf Birth Control Pill?
Felidae replied to julie5914's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My bc pills have lactose in them. But they do not bother me. You could try a different brand to see if they are the cause of your troubles. Or maybe it is still a food issue causing the troubles. -
ARCHIVED Do You Ever Just Want To Try It Again?
Felidae replied to KayJay's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You bet! But only for a second does the thought cross my mind. I then remember how sick I was for so many years and how I would love to have that part of my life back that the sickness stole. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Cat Food
Felidae replied to lindalee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It was a long road of trial and error and testing before we figured out what was going on. The poor guy was sick for so long. Hey, kind of like me before the gluten-free diet. LOL. You may have to try various foods over the long term because changing their food too often may cause more problems. It's a lot of trial and error, basically. Allergies... -
ARCHIVED Costco Farm Raised Salmon
Felidae replied to ms-sillyak-screwed's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Exactly! -
Hello, we have one in Edmonton. I assume it is like Amaranth that you guys have down there. It is a great store and carries almost everything we could need (or want). Some of the prices for gluten-free products are comparable to Safeway.

I really don't think you have to worry too much. Just wash your hands if you feed him/her. Cats are very clean, especially after eating. They like to have a clean face. My bet is that that you'll fall in love with the kitty and at that point you will relax and have a great time. Please don't do this.
