    You could just use a deep pot for frying things in so you won't have to store a deep fryer.

    I live alone so my freezer is my key to not having to throw out food that's gone bad. It takes me six months to go through a loaf of bread (yeah, I don't eat a lot of bread ) so it gets frozen. It probably doesn't taste quite as good, but I toast it so it doesn't matter much. Bread that gets crumbly or bread recipes gone wrong or stuff I don't like the...

    You menu sounds way better than what I'm planning! I might have to make breakfast for dinner tonight. Mmmm, hash browns... And I also love Pei Wei. Delicious every time.

    My concerns would be the foot longs are in the same stand as the buns, probably crumbs get on the grill. Were the fries made in a frier that previously fried gluten stuff? I don't know, the state fair makes me nervous. I believe Northland Celiac group has a booth with a list of gluten-free foods. I'm pretty sure I printed one from the internet a year...

    You have got to figure out what's glutening you every couple of weeks. That's way too often to be sick! Have you started a food journal? Checked personal care and pet products for everyone in the house? Do you share a kitchen? Could it be something other than gluten? Soy or dairy can cause similar symptoms and I get the same symptoms from peanuts.

    I eat very few gluten-free substitutes, mostly because they're expensive and it would require me to make another stop at another grocery store.

    I would say that I have some food allergies and would prefer to bring my own lunch.

    When I was there a few months ago I went to Nickiemoto's, 990 Piedmont Ave NE. It's a sushi place. I got a plate of sushi and a veggie noddle dish to share. Food was great and I have no problems with being gluten-free. It's also got this outdoor patio that's fun. Open Original Shared Link

    Why not have the kids make their own sandwiches? If they're old enough, this could be a good chore for them to take over. Although that could result in a lot of scattered crumbs...

    Speaking of being just a little bit pregnant... I was watching a commerical the other day that said "wouldn't you want to know if you're a little bit pregnant? Take our test because it can detect pregnancy earlier than other tests!" I had to laugh because of the "little bit pregnant" wording! You either are or you aren't! Ok, back to the topic at hand...

    I've found my reaction has lessened. I guess it depends on the person. I've always felt it was because my immune system is better able to deal with this toxin now that it's not constantly overloaded.

    I think this is how it is in the UK. So something like fruit and veggies would not be labeled gluten-free, but something with wheat starch could be if it's less than 20ppm. I don't mind that fruits and veggies won't be labeled, but what about things like cheese or chicken? I don't usually think of them as gluten containing, but we all know that it's possible...

    When this labeling takes effect, a product must test below 20ppm to have a gluten free label. You will not be able to label a product that's above 20ppm but below 200ppm gluten free. So this change is much better for us! If you're talking about what amount of gluten a product that's currently labeled gluten-free contains, who knows. It's up to the company...

    How did they check for lactose intolerance during a scope? I didn't realize this was possible. I never eliminated dairy and still eat it with no problems. I guess I was one of the lucky ones! My mum, on the other hand, has had to eliminate casein.

    There was a guy a few years ago who tried to make a bomb using a liquid that he had with him - hence the no liquids over 3oz rule. You cannot take them through security, but you can buy a water bottle or juice once you're past security and take it on the plane. I usually bring an empty water bottle and fill it on the other side, although it does occasionally...

    I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I wish all the people who won't get tested or try the diet because they could NEVER live without bread would realize they are not the only ones affected by that decision. They may feel rotten all the time, but the rest of the family also has to indirectly deal with the consequences of their bad health.

    Swollen feet could also be a sign of heart disease. If your heart isn't pumping well you tend to get blood pooling in the feet and legs. Also think you need to push your doctor to figure this out.

    ARCHIVED What Would You Do?

    kbtoyssni replied to Connie Shedlock's topic in Doctors

    For the common, yearly blood test kind of results, the doctor will usually just call with the results. For bigger things where a followup appointment is made, the doc usually just waits for the patient to come in. If an appointment is cancelled, I think it's the patients responsibility to call and ask for test results. It might be the nice things for the...

    Hey everyone. I went water skiing last week and now I have little tiny reddish bumps where my suit was and other places that would stay damp like behind my ears. It doesn't itch, and I now remember that I would get this same thing in past years at other lakes so I don't think it's parasites or anything like that. Any ideas? Anything I can do to get it...

    I don't completely agree. I know teens don't want to feel different, but if celiac and alternate diets are mentioned more in magazines and shown in teen TV shows and movies, it will make eating gluten-free more socially acceptable. The more people hear about the disease, the less weird it becomes. It's also good to start mentioning celiac at a younger...

    I agree with the things that have already been mentioned: don't make two meals and don't buy specialty gluten-free products. I buy 99.9% of my food at a regular grocery store. I use a lot of rice and potatoes and corn tortillas (Mission now has a giant package of 2-dozen for ~$2!!!) in place of gluten breads and pastas. And I eat a lot of eggs, those are...

    Gosh I'm sorry. Health insurance scares me for this very reason. I'm so scared I'll lose my job some day and be in this position. Can you get the continuing/COBRA coverage that's usually offered after losing a job? For some reason I thought there was a way to continue coverage without having to apply and deal with all the pre-existing condition stuff...

    ARCHIVED Please Help ---nerve Pain

    kbtoyssni replied to jjtj's topic in Doctors

    She may also want to try acupuncture. I've done it for nerve pain that my regular docs couldn't figure out, and just a few sessions, and I can use my arm again! (after 18 months of pain...) Try googling "community acupuncture" in your area - it's often cheaper than the non-community clinics since it's often not covered by insurance.

    Sorry to hear about the fall. Good luck with the rehab - hang in there, these things do take time. My knee took 18 months to be back to normal after surgery.

    You can take whatever food you want on board. They won't search your bag! In fact, the more food you bring, the less they have to feed you Have fun on the cruise!
