    I think when your gut is in bad shape you have to start slowly with supplements. I am D deficient. My Dr wanted me to do 2000 IUs a day...I couldn't tolerate it. So I went out and got 400's. For 2 weeks I did 400 once a day. Then 400 twice day. It took a bit but I was able to get to the 2000. My D went up 3 points in 4 months so it's an improvement...

    I'm a fairly sensitive person and my feelings would probably have been hurt. That's just me though. It's hard having that left out feeling...maybe with time we get used to it. I'm at almost a year since my diagnosis and I do feel like it's getting easier. You can't change other people though...only your reaction to them.

    Totally agree with bart...call ahead, let them know you want copies of all your recent lab work and when you'll be there to pick it up. Once you get it, post the results on here. There are so many great and knowledgeable people on this site that can help.

    Wow...that's really tough. (((Hugs))) to you. I'm sorry for your struggle. I would absolutely request copies of the bloodwork...it's your right to have the results. I was diagnosed through blood only. I second what the others have said...go gluten free...don't continue to be miserable. You may find that your anxiety will be reduced a great deal after...

    It's bitter cold and windy here today. I'm making applesauce in the crockpot. The house smells amazing! For dinner I'm making pork chops...serving applesauce with...Also a tossed salad and buttered parmesan noodles.

    Oh...that's awful! I'm so sorry! Big (((hugs))) that you feel better quickly. Good for you going 2 years without being glutened! When I do get hit, besides the D, I get the horrible joint pains too. Maybe try taking a nice Epsom salt bath and be really good to yourself! We ate at my mom's on Christmas Eve...There was only 1 item with gluten and...

    The cold makes me want to use the crock pot all the time...so tonight we're having crock pot meat loaf, mashed potatoes and green beans.
  12. icelandgirl
    Yes and yum! There are just so many recipes...If anyone's got a recipe they recommend please let me know.

    Hey all... I've decided that I really want to make a yule log for Christmas. I've never made one before, but my Thanksgiving pumpkin roll was such a hit that I feel inspired. So...I'm looking for a tried and true recipe...anyone have one? Also, traditionally is the filling chocolate or white? I've seen both. Thanks so much!
  14. icelandgirl
    Mini meatball, veggie and pasta soup.
  15. icelandgirl
    Sounds like torture! I'd probably end up crying. I love all things baked.
  16. icelandgirl
    Wow! That's less than $3 a pound. For gluten free flour that's amazing! Did you buy it?
  17. icelandgirl
    Sounds like a great start. I'm so glad for you!

    When you say dairy free does that include butter? If you're OK with butter, I just made a delicious toffee that my family could not get enough of.

    Cyclinglady...you just made me want to make this yule log for Christmas! Yum! I made a pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

    Tonight I'm making chicken soft tacos and cilantro lime rice. Laura...I totally agree. Those buns are the best!

    Enjoy Life chocolate is great and free of all major allergens. It's so good. Chocolate is my favorite food group. ..I don't want to have to give it up!!
  22. icelandgirl
    Wow! I don't even know what half of that is...why would anyone eat it? I used to, of course, but when I look at a label now if it has more than a few ingredients or has things I can't pronounce, I just put it back.

    Tonight we are having crock pot maple dijon chicken drumsticks and thighs, roasted potatoes and asparagus.
  24. icelandgirl
    Wow! Amazing news...congratulations! I'm curious about not letting your stomach get empty. Do you know why? I'm asking because I've noticed I feel really bad if I let mine get completely empty...but no idea why.
