    Then you just really need to see a doctor. You cannot safely diagnose yourself with Cushings syndrome, and because it can be caused by serious illness, you need to get the root cause checked out. As always, if you are not happy with what a doctor does, you can always change doctors. The blog you linked to, while it could be helpful to patients properly...

    Oh, I LOVE those remote read thermometers. They are worth it for your sanity at thanksgiving and any time you roast something and don't want to check all the time. I had a really cheap one that I had to rig up and hold a certain way for it to still work, and last month I WON A NEW ONE from my favorite cooking blog. I was so freaking excited!!! It is...

    I agree that digestive enzymes are not always necessary, and you just need to judge how they make you feel. You can try another brand, or just shelve the idea for now, but definitely go on how it makes you feel. I know the CVS brand are gluten free. They have two kinds, there is a food intolerance one with higher enzyme amounts, and another one with...

    I find that a lot of people act supportive, but when you ask them to eat your gluten-free food they turn their nose up at it because people don't like eating things that are "different". If you suggest a restaurant to eat at and they start to him haw about it, just tell them you all are going and that is it. Don't say it in a way that gives them an option...

    I understand that, my doctor had the nurse tell me over the phone, and she said "look it up on the internet" LOL. I asked if they had anything and they mailed me an photocopied packet of stuff that was vague and not specific. You are in the right place with us We have some Canadians so hopefully they will chime in on this one. Just take care to make...

    I just eat the crap out of the cookie dough when I make cookies. My Mother in law pitches a fit when she sees me do that! LOL

    Ok So this is how I make lasagna. You can kind of work from this recipe: Open Original Shared Link But What I do for a large crowd is buy two packages of lasagna noodles, two tubs of ricotta cheese (Do NOT put cottage cheese in lasagna that is gross! lol), about two pounds of loose italian sausage, 1.5-2 pounds of mozzarella, two jars of the best...

    Are you on long term oral corticosteroids, such as prednisone?

    What flavor of Talenti Gelato did you eat? They only have a few that are basically fruit sorbettos that don't contain dairy. Also, many glutino products have dairy in them. Before you look into anything like the carb issue, you may want to eliminate oats for a time as Adalaide said, since some Celiacs cannot handle them, even after healing. Also, be very...

    Are you talking about two separate issues, or do you experience food cravings as a result of eating contaminated food? If you are talking about seeing something that is likely, and since you are unable to safely eat it, you crave it for the rest of the day, that sort of thing... A good way to feel happier with your choice is to think of how ill you would...

    Hi Shailluis and welcome to the forum! Do note that the person who originally posted this thread hasn't been on in over a year and hopefully their issue has passed.

    Addy you make me really want a rotisserie! I have no room for more stuff in my kitchen, though, and I have a huge kitchen... LOL. My next big purchase is definitely going to be a thermapen so I can take instant easy temperature readings of food. They are near $100 though, so I am going to drop hints for Christmas. Yesterday I had leftover red beans...

    If you make a big thing of lasagna with Tinkyada lasagna noodles, it is the bomb, and no one will know it is gluten-free. (There are other lasagna noodles gluten-free that I have heard are not good so caution!) If you want my recipe let me know. It is in my head so, I will have to think about it a hot minute! When guests come over I also like to do...

    With only being in the gluten-free diet for 38 days, I would go ahead and do the gluten challenge for a proper biopsy if you can handle it. Sometimes when people are really severely damaged, it still can show, but it would be a big waste of time to do a biopsy with the current diet and it be a false negative. Having a solid diagnosis is something that you...

    That sounds totally delicious. Bone in, I assume? I noticed one on markdown sale at the store a few weeks ago and this old lady ran up and sniped it from me! I was like hey... that was my cheap meat LOL Yess!!!! I seriously have dreams that go this way. LOL Tonight will be grilled pork chops, mini corn cobs, a dollop of leftover beans...

    Pure ground beef is gluten free. However, once you start sharing facilities such as a butcher case, like the one at a grocery store near me where I do not patronize the butcher case because they have the breaded patties next to everything else, and they carry it over the plain meat. Anywhere you go where employees need to be doing the right thing for food...

    Yep, the lasagna thing is a great idea, especially when it helps another gluten-free person as well! Having the same kind of food as everyone else will make you feel more included.

    LOL... I can totally see the draw to crawl into that thing for a pic. But... that guy... that was probably his first experience with one!!!!! *badum tsh!* Saturday night I was slicing up a cantaloupe and sliced into my thumb. Let out a bloody murder scream. My husband was playing a game with headphones on and he said he thought the scream was a game...

    Cats!!!!!! I am a crazy cat lady. But I just have one because my husband wisely says no to new additions. LOL. I like dogs and all animals, too, but he is not a dog person so I have fallen even more in love with this silly kitty. But don't bring cute bunnies around me, I am deathly allergic! LOL (Monty Python jokes abound) My enchiladas turned...

    I saw this snippet from University of Chicago and thought it would help here: Open Original Shared Link

    Wow, looks like they completely missed the diagnosis. What a shame.
  24. LauraTX
    As someone who is pretty much asymptomatic, About 9 months after I was diagnosed, I had had one or two times where I had questionable GI symptoms, but couldn't necessarily contribute them to gluten. I spoke with my GI doctor and immunologist about my anxiety over my inability to be by own gluten detection system, like many celiacs are. So, my GI doctor...

    Time to count your blessings and be glad you were able to see how your BF handles hard situations before you moved in together. If you feel like it is just squabbling, sometimes people argue over petty things when there is actually a much deeper problem. If you really want to salvage the relationship, getting him info from a good source about CC is good...
