    Thanks. It's not diverticulosis My sister was saying all kinds of things trying to get the name right and I was so shocked I didn't even write anything down that she was saying. Guess I'll find out as soon as I can reach my Mother, hopefully tomorrow.

    the only number on the page is 112 but it does not say station #. I just clicked on Martha Stewart show and it came on.

    www.sirius.com - must sign up for 3 -day trial but it's free. Kim Khoeller and Dr. about dining out with Celiac and other allergies. I can hardly believe it - oh its on the Martha Stewart Show until 2 pm today.

    I will apologize up front for asking questions about something I have very little info on. My sister called last night to tell me some good news about her dh but then as a sidebar she mentioned our Mother is getting a cat (or pet) scan tomorrow. Mother ate gluten by mistake recently and had a very, very bad *D* reaction, worse than ever before. It lasted...

    Sorry - I didn't explain what happened correctly. The dentist brought it up to me but said the guard is good for anyone with crowns, not just for people who grind their teeth. So the woman up front gave me a print out of all my charges for root canal/crown and the bite guard was on there. I said I probably wasn't getting that and she then started really...

    Well I don't grind my teeth and he told me that was not why he was recommending it....I'll ask more questions later when I get the root canal. Thanks - I feel better knowing I probably do not need the guard. Sometimes people look at me and let's just say they may determine that I can afford some things others can't and so they recommend them, even if I don...

    I didn't keep the box - it looks like it holds almost twice as much as it could - but I'd say it is not free of that other stuff since it's so sweet. But I could be totally wrong so you'd need to either call the company (toll free is on the website) or find a box and read it. I'm going to have a half of one now. It's too rich to eat a whole one at a time...

    Well I just got back from seeing my new and improved dentist . He is wonderful and actually has a personality unlike my ex-dentist. New doc did some extensive procedures to figure out that I have a crack in my tooth and I need a root canal and hopefully that's all. He was able to coat my tooth with something which is a temp. fix but it helped with the hot...

    Exactly. I decided if I need a root canal and the dentist just take out his fillings, put in liners and then refill I could still have pain and need the root canal in the end. So it warrants a second opinion at the very least. Dr Lemons doesn't take my ins. so Cigna called around for me today (yes an insurance company did something helpful for a change) and...

    Oh my the stupidity of doctors never ends does it.......I had a full Celiac panel run, which was six test/antibodies in all. I had ONE postive result for Celiac. After insisting on having the biopsy (had anemia which came out of nowhere, and some bloating) my results showed severely damaged villi. Boy was that doc's face red when he called to tell me I had...

    Oh - that's bad Nisla. We just got off the phone with the ins. company and it seems that I'm considered an emergeny and so if the dentist doesn't call me tomorrow I will switch dos if someone can re-do the fillings before the other jerk gets to me next week. If I can't into anyone else, I'll get the jerk to do the work and then I'll switch. I'm so happy DH...

    Thanks everyone but CarlaB I owe you a hug!!!! Duluth is close to me so that will be great if he's taking new patients. I'll tell him you sent me! Thanks again!
  13. floridanative
    Oh Nisla - I thought you were recommending your Dentist.........oh well, maybe we'll both find a new one. I just had dinner and I'm in so much pain - did not chew on bad side but the hot/cold thing is bad and that starts throbbing. I can't take any more Aleve until 9 pm. I'm so glad DH will also change dentists now after the way I was treated today (posted...

    I can't help to really but wanted to say welcome and I'm sorry you've been through what most of us have. Tired of Doctors (member) on here is the best one to help you (many others can help too) as she has severe neuropathy due to gluten. Hopefully she'll be online and can give you some good advice soon. At least you know for sure, without question and forever...

    L.A. I'm soooooooooo sorry to hear that. When we were invited to the reunion, the uncle who called said he wanted us all to stay in one large cabin. My husband called him back to explain that we'd need to share a cabin with our in-laws and that way we'd have a safe kitchen. I'm sure it will be quite the experience even though we won't have to share a cabin...

    ARCHIVED Dentist In Atlanta, Ga

    floridanative posted a topic in Doctors

    Thanks if anyone knows of a good dentist in the metro Atlanta area. I don't care if they know about Celiac or not. I'm just looking for someone competent.
  17. floridanative
    www.anastasiaconfections.com is the brand. It's marked gluten free and is wonderful. Three of their four lines of confections are gluten free including their taffy. I've only tried the Pina Colada coconut patties and they are like a gourmet Mound's of sorts. They sell in many Marshall's and TJ Maxx stores. You can get their toll free # off their website and...

    plantime makes a good point about having a supportive spouse. If I didn't have my DH watching out for me I'd go off the deep end when dealing with people. He's all about reading labels and feels more comfortable seeing gluten free on the label of anything packaged. He had to explain my condition to his uncle recently as we're attending a family reunion, for...

    Well I'm late but this thread is great! Recently while visiting family I found out my BIL's (no relation) father is now having that numbness that diabetics get so he can't hold his own grandkids anymore. He's been diabetic for years but is really not doing well now and I think he's only 62. Well my BIL eats the most unhealty diet of anyone I've ever met ...

    lovegrove gave some great advice. None us need bread, cakes, cookies or muffins to eat a healthy diet. In fact, we're better off watching how much of the gluten-free treats we take in since they are higher in fat, calories and sugar then most of their glutenous counterparts. Before going gluten free I rarely ate much in the way of baked goods. Now that I...

    Oh I never heard of Spectrum shortening but it sounds more healthy than Crisco. Thanks Lynne for the offer of the recipe but I'm going to try the GFP mix. It seems someone else needs it though. But I will try your frozen blueberry idea. I'll actually get them at WF - don't like Kroger, never did. There is one being remodeled near me and I went in once...

    Lonewolf - adding fresh blueberries to pankakes for us did not work. They were ripe but did not get soft before the pancakes were ready. That is why we started using canned ones. I can understand that the muffins would be different so I'll just do as you said. penguin - thanks for the tip on blanching. I do want to soak my cranberries before adding to...

    Okay - I made some awesome choc. chip muffins from Pamela's baking mix (not cookie mix) but the recipe called for fruit of some kind but I wanted chocolate. Anyway, they pretty much tasted like the muffins at Sweet Tomato - wonderful! But here is my question - if I want to use fresh blueberries next time, what do I do to get the blueberries soft before adding...

    Go to www.celiacdisease.net or www.celiacdiseasecenter.org Both are Celiac Disease research center websites - not a forum though you were given correct information above, I understand your need to read it from medically proven statistics.

    I bow to Master Chelsea!
