  1. Good to know I'm not alone--I finally got to sleep shortly after Mark's alarm went off at 5AM. <yawn>
  2. I wondered about that meselph Bunnie--ugh, so sorry about this. Too much of this kind of thing happening nowadays.....I predict you will come out of this with an even better job when all is said and done. My hair is looking a bit "ginger-y" as of late, too. I tried to tone down the brassiness caused by the relaxer, used light ash brown...
  3. I'm glad you decided to get it done soon--chances are all is well and that should put your mind at ease. I was nervous about mine, since it was my first. The cleanse the night before is unpleasant, but the procedure itself was fine since I was completely out for the entire thing. The last thing I remember was having the IV put in, and the next thing I...
  4. Tis very cute--I love Nik's wordisms....quaintly, charmingly cosmopolitan
  5. That sounds really pretty, Nik Pretty pleeze I missed that one too--but loved it!! I'm so sorry, Bev
  6. I was thinking that the doctor's office could give (or send) you a copy of what the doctor was reading (presumably a copy of your old tests from your former doctor?). You have a right to them.
  7. Judy--What about the other tests from the original panel? If you know or have them, post them because there are some people on here who are very good at interpreting the them.
  8. Frankly, I think I would prefer the hashbrowns to the bread! Don't be afraid to use cornstarch--it's an excellent thickener, easy to find and to use.
  9. Bevvie sweetie, you are in my thoughts. Such a difficult situation--we've dealt with both in our family. I completely understand the sentiment "sick of it" and wanting to yell ENOUGH. Janet, Wishing the best for your friend's child. Bless him.
  10. Hi Judith I think Nikki is right about the TTG--you've been gluten-free for so long now that any Celiac testing that is done on you would surely be negative. I had the Celiac Panel run last year (also new GI) and my TTG was at 3, which is negative (this was with me being gluten-free for over 3 years--which was expected). Same with any biopsies done...
  11. Congratulations! Thanks for the update--frustrating, though, that they still don't get it.
  12. I would use cornstarch, potato starch, or whatever flour mixture you have on hand to thicken. Most bacon is gluten-free--I use Oscar Mayer. As for the toast, just use whatever bread you like.
  13. You may want to check out "Cooking Free" by Carol Fenster.
  14. Hi and welcome Jenny It's going to get easier, I promise. Try Tinkyada Pasta--it's the best I've tried and as long as you don't over cook it it tastes really good. With breads, that's highly individual. I like Gluten Free Pantry French Bread--it's a mix that is easily made either in the oven or bread machine. Cornstarch is fine, as is...
  15. I've been using Burt's Bees Green Tea and Fennel Shampoo and Conditioner. For haircolor, I tried Garnier for the first time recently and loved it. Loreal haircolor is also safe. Open Original Shared Link Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers are nice and can be found almost anywhere these days. Ecco Bella, a more natural brand of makeup is all gluten-free--the...
  16. WIH was I thinkin?? Such a discerning woman, our Em.....
  17. Jan-it, I've reacted (with no doubt) to shampoos that stated no gluten and listed no gluten. The only thing I can think of is the fragrance. There's a chance it could be hiding in that. Glad you figured it out and Skeet is feeling better. Sounds good for The Smackster--I'll bet by middle school he's all the way up to speed.
  18. Come on now Jan-it.....a classy lady like Em going into the bank would have her pee tucked away safely in a margarine tub With the exception of closing accounts/changing addresses/opening new ones here, I never really go into the bank anymore either. I actually do all my banking on-line now. The bank we have down here makes that very easy. which is...
  19. Wow--I hadn't really thought about it, but I used to get dreams about my teeth too. I have since been diagnosed with TMJ and wear a night guard but back when this would happen, I would dream that my teeth were loose and I would invariably wake up clenching. There were other "teeth" dreams, too, but the details are fuzzy. It hasn't happened in quite...
  20. It is entirely possible. The only way to tell for sure is to omit and start from scratch. A simple food log is very helpful for begining to recognize a pattern and to pinpoint any reactions.
  21. This is why I said what I did. Yes, I did make progress--after 20 years of trying to figure it out and the better part of another 5 getting to this point. I hate to see you taking remedies that, while perfectly good and helpful for some, are very possibly the things that are still irritating and upsetting you. To this day I have yet to find a probiotic...
