    I am taking a B complex and 2000 IU of Vitamin per the doctor and blood tests done recently. I was already taking a smaller amount. I just started taking a probiotic based on information I learned from here. 2 Fish oil supplements for Omega 3 based on the amount of inflammation I have. Magnesium based on low blood tests and the other meds I am...

    LauraTX - that sounds good. I usually cook the whole bag of chicken at once and freeze it - have to try your recipe... Ipellegr - Thank you for the link! I've already book marked several recipes to try. I love the ease of throwing it all in the pot and having it be done later!

A BODACIOUS Gluten free short bread cookie at Winco, Lady at front of store was so helpful and sent me there. I was so excited (don't eat cookies, etc) I went back to show...

    Waitingindreams - I haven't contributed to your post and I don't want to hyjack it.... but I do want to thank you for sharing your story and worries. I don't have a boyfriend or husband. No support and newly dx... I have been thinking I can't possibly get involved with anyone with such a huge problem. Something so life changing. Such a burden. But I've read...

    NatureChick - you said it so much better than I did! It's good to know I wasn't alone in the reaction. I was quite resentful, but decided I overreacted. I feel better and that is what is important. No one can absorb this much info that doesn't directly impact them!!

    I went to Whole Foods and found 4 different protein mixes that were gluten free, dairy free and soy free! I don't have the names, but the were either pumpkin based (not the best one!) or brown rice based. I liked the vanilla.

    That's true! All my parents ever want is a nice card from me for b days and holidays.

    This is good info to know. I asked my pharmacist last week. He looked them all up. Told me there were no ingredients that contained gluten. That they were mostly found in the capsules. Mine are all tablets. He really seemed to understand. But he also gave me manufactures numbers. I'm taking enough I guess I really need to call and find out - thanks

    If she has been helping you, maybe you could hint - soo... any big plans??? Can you get a pic of her and her daughter and frame it? A gift of the month club? They have all kinds from beer to fruit. I don't know your budget (not asking) you could do a month to 6 months or whatever) Some kind of scrapbook if you know her accomplishments at work? A book...

    Do you know her personally at all? Any hobbies? Interests? Knowing she was retiring, did she talk about doing something or going somewhere? Family?

    I just got dx, kind of out of the blue a few days ago. But I've have many conversations with my family over the last 3-4 weeks. I'm on the west coast and they are near Chicago so I don't have much contact either. This is my very very personal experience and advice. It's worth what you pay for it<BG> We are in general a very close family. But they just...

    Not the politically correct answer.... take it from her and say thanks so much for your effort.... then put it in the back of the frig/cabinet/pantry/garbage and never serve it! If she asks, oh, I'm sorry, it must have just got lost in all the gluten FREE food!! Of course I don't have the demeanor to get away with any kind of sarcasm in an innocent way...

    How do you know when to try it again? One of my main symptoms is nausea and stomach pain. But I am on prescription acid suppressors until damage heals. GI said maybe from now on I think change in diet fixed it, I was still nauseated taking the PPI... Do you just have one drink and wait and see? Try one a week? Have a few and see? disclaimer - I realize...

    My Mom used to say - come here, I'll fix your boo-boo... I'll stomp on your toe and your (fill in the blank) will stop hurting! I never fell for it! Duh! Mom! Then they will BOTH hurt!!! <----run away!!

    Pretty sure not the right place to ask... but I find it pretty funny... does anyone find it interesting/funny.... newly diagnosed that walking through the bakery, or smelling bread makes you feel itchy?? It's all in my head right?! (I never felt that way before) I guess I've read so many scared posts it rubs off. Oh wait - I maid those posts!! <BG>...
