    Haha! I may just do that!

    Dan, these are the blood tests available for celiac disease: -DGP-IgA -DGP-IgG -tTG (anti-tissue transglutaminase)-IgA -tTG-IgG -EMA (anti-endomysial antibodies)-IgA -EMA-IgG -Total serum IgA The EMA tests are older and less reliable, but can still be helpful in some cases. The 5 you want to really push your doctor to run are the DGP and tTG (both...

    I'm slightly confused, what exactly does the new labeling law require?? But on the flip side, "Additionally, gluten-free diets have become "fashionable," ... but also has meant that real medical problems are sometimes treated lightly, Fasano says." <---I love that statement! So true! I don't know how many times in 2 months I have had people say something...

    I'm not sure if it's available in canada, but check for "ipiit"

    What does the szechuan sauce taste like?

    I had never heard of San j, so it will be a nice new guaranteed safe thing to try. Their website shows 7 different sauces, gonna have to look more to see if all are gluten-free, cuz I tend to mix it up in the kitchen (as in combine different cultural foods such as maybe Chinese sauce on some pasta).
  7. Georgia-guy
    I've never been to this one, and I can't find a website for them (mainly cuz I'm not sure the name of the place, I just know it's in the Kroger shopping center).

    Available at publix and (I think there's one nearby) food lion. :-)

    I will have to look for some San-j sauce (I've never heard of it). But what about duck sauce? Would it be safe? Duck sauce was always my favorite part of getting Chinese.

    You could always eat dinner in front of the TV, especially with a meal like nachos, they are designed for sport games, which is normally in front of the TV.

    I didn't know they carried my brand of facial products...or that I have my own brand. Lol (that would be my real name)

    Why do I do this to myself? I'm taking an old friend out to lunch for her birthday during her lunch break...I told her to choose a place by her work that was good. I was expecting something like Chiles, Red lobster, O'Charleys, etc. little did I realize, the only things by her work are fast food. And the only good place is the Chinese place. :-/ I have not...

    I had someone look at me like I was crazy when I used the peanut line (turns out they are allergic to peanuts, go figure). They told me that they would be stupid to eat even a "skin" from a peanut. I quickly explained "well, you go into anaphylactic shock with a trace amount of peanuts. I go into (insert rather detailed symptom list here) with trace amounts...

    I want to add to wait until AFTER RESULTS ARE BACK AND A DIAGNOSIS IS MADE to go gluten free or gluten light. Just having the biopsy done (or the endoscopy or blood tests as well) does not mean it will give a definitive answer. The doctor may want to supplement a test with another one, or the results may not be conclusive and they may wish to redo a test...
  15. Georgia-guy
    That is when I would look at them and use the peanut comparison..."would you give someone with a peanut allergy just 1 peanut, it won't kill them right?"

    The map didn't load earlier. Probably cuz I was out of high speed data for the billing cycle on my phone...and I'm too cheap to pay for internet when I'm barely ever home. But I got it to load now, and it's a good 2 hoursish away from me. :'(

    Elles, your doctor must have gone to med school with mine! Even though celiac put an explanation to pages of "idiopathic (insert primary complaint)", my doctor refused to even do 1 test for celiac because I have no family history of celiac (but I do have a family history of AI like crazy). I ended up paying a lab directly for the full panel which was (not...

    Now you're making me want to move to the land of small soda. :-(

    Where is Avondale Estates???
  20. Georgia-guy
    Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Thats a good one! But you know that Alabama gets their ice from Georgia now, right? The lady that had the recipe died and didn't pass it on to anyone.
  21. Georgia-guy
    Where?!?!?

    NSAIDs in prescription doses help, Tylenol I will just say I end up in the ER rather quickly. Lake Lanier, or any lake for that matter, sounds nice right now...
  23. Georgia-guy
    So if NSAIDs are bad for us, and a weirdo like me can't take Tylenol, what other options are there?
  24. Georgia-guy
    I would think it may be the gluten content. If you take a piece of bread, it's gonna have a lot more gluten ppm than some fried chicken. With the bread, it's mostly your gluten containing grain, where fried chicken is mostly chicken with a bit of gluten containing grain on the outside. It's kinda like if you weight yourself, only a small percentage of your...

    I must have missed the part about a NEW blood test...since he's in Alabama, and I'm not far from him, I'm almost tempted to schedule an appointment to see if he sounds as behind on the times in person as he does in the 15 year old article that was just published.
