ARCHIVED Best Place To Purchase Threelac
Nantzie replied to KirstySF's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The company sets the price, so there's no way to get a deal on it other than becoming a member and getting the discount. Love Threelac, btw. It deals with the candida problem without having to change your diet. You just take it and get on with your life. I always did two packets a day for 30 days. Remember to take it on an empty stomach with water... -
ARCHIVED What Foods Do Yall Like The Most Thats Gluten Free?
Nantzie replied to a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I know this is the teen forum, but I noticed that you guys were talking about cinnamon rolls. I'm very VERY picky about cinnamon rolls. I LOVE the cinnamon rolls from Kinnikinnick. They call them Tapioca Rice Cinnamon Buns. They are really good. If you haven't had a cinnamon roll before, it tastes pretty much exactly the same and the texture is... -
I was coming on to check on him too. I hope he's okay. Nancy

Just checking to see if you posted. I'm sure you're in the middle of the chaos that always accompanies a family wedding. I hope you're feeling better. Nancy

I probably missed you by now. I hope everything goes well. Nancy

Sigh... For some reason the saying "Be nice to your children because they're the ones who will choose your nursing home" just springs to my mind right now. Hm.. Wonder why...? Nancy

I used to be a medical transcriptionist. It's a completely legitimate career. It does take some time to learn; I studied in my spare time for about two years. But after that I was able to make a living doing it. I did it full-time for about 3-4 years. It's also nice to know if I ever want to or need to go back to work, I can get a job pretty easily...

Just wanted to check on you too. I hope you're able to get some sleep. Nancy

ARCHIVED Breathing Test To Tell If Celiac?

How cool is that? Poor kid though. I hope his appt is soon. Nancy -
ARCHIVED Reliability Of Stool Tests For Diagnostic ?
Nantzie replied to florent's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The enterolab test is totally worth it. I used the test to make sure I was barking up the right tree as far as what was wrong with me. When the test came back showing that I had gluten intolerance, I tried the diet and sure enough it was true. My kids doctors accepted the Enterolab tests as valid and put them in their charts. Based on the Enterolab... -
Lisa, I'm sorry things are so rough and so frustrating. I hope these tests give you some new answers and not just some half-@ss "eat more fiber" BS from a doctor who has never gone through any of this stuff. To have to hear that after eating gluten, AND to have them not give you enough meds AND not even freeze your throat? Come on people! Grr... ...

I don't have any more advice than what everyone else has given you. I'm just so sorry you're going through this without someone there with you. I'm glad you were able to get a room and can hole up for a while until your girlfriend gets there. Until then, here's a virtual hug - <<<HUG>>> . Everything is going to be okay. Nancy

I'm glad you got through it okay. Just let us know more when you can. Nancy

Oh Lisa, don't be scared. Just imagine all of us around you, holding your hands when your getting your endo. We'll be there in spirit, even though we can't be there in person. Praying for you sweetie. Hugs, Nancy

You're kidding me!!! You're like the third person this week I've found out lives near me. I'm in Antelope right now. It turns out there is one member here who lives about 1/4 mile from where I live in Antelope, and another member who lives within a couple miles. Too bad I'm moving. There's also another member in Roseville. Small world...

Ahh... I knew there was a rule about not advertising of course. I didn't realize that you couldn't mention something. That must be why now Nini can't mention her Newbie Survival Kit, but if you go to her profile there's a link to her website that has it. Other members do refer newbies to her, but that would be within the rules since it's not their site...

ARCHIVED How Do You Deal With Other People's Reaction
Nantzie replied to ami27's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That's awful. I went through something similar with a few people, some worse than others. If she can't be supportive and is even possibly endangering you I think that's over the line. I mean, what if the waiter heard her comment and decided to blow off your gluten-free requirement on your order? You could have gotten really sick. Here's a statistic... -
ARCHIVED I'm Going To Med School!
Nantzie replied to heathen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
GFP, I remember someone comparing doctors (favorably actually) to mechanics. You just keep looking and trying stuff until the problem goes away. The difference is that after every change a patient has to be sent home to do their own test drive. Oh my gosh Liz!!! That's amazing!! To go from facing a wheelchair to teaching PE and coaching? It... -
I think that's a WONDERFUL idea!! Especially the part where the user could add a restaurant or tourist location right then and there. I've seen a few sites that are trying, but it's usually very limited and not very useful on a large scale. A good example of this is Open Original Shared Link . If you pull down the drop-down box for the state, you...

ARCHIVED I'm Going To Med School!
Nantzie replied to heathen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
That's true... The more categories there are the more muddy the waters may become. I guess my point is that doctors need to be educated on the atypical presentations of celiac as well as the classic presentation. There is an established phrase of "atypical celiac". But it doesn't seem like most doctors know that atypical might have none of the testing... -
ARCHIVED Glutenfreeda.com Goes Free!
Nantzie replied to darlindeb25's topic in Publications & Publicity
THANK YOU for posting this!!! I can't believe how much stuff is on that site. And I've barely looked at anything. The Online Cooking Classes Archives has me sitting here with my mouth hanging open -- Homemade pasta? Wonton skins? Pastry dough? Phyllo dough??? I can't WAIT to try some of this stuff. Nancy -
ARCHIVED I'm Going To Med School!
Nantzie replied to heathen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Congratulations!!!! I don't have anything I'd really like to know, but I do have a concept I'd like to see gain acceptance. I'd like for doctors to recognize that there is more than one form of gluten-related health issues. Someday I think that there will be different "types" of celiac just like there are different types of diabetes. Type 1 Celiac... -
Wow. It certainly sounds possible. Maybe it will develop into Pizza Hut learning more about it. Nancy

ARCHIVED This Is Worth Reading...

Wow. Great article. Thanks for posting this. Nancy -
Makes complete sense to me, Jerry. Nancy
