Rusla

First welcome to the board and there is a great deal of support and recipes on here.

Well then let me explain the joys of a extreme anemic condition or in otherwards pernicious anemia. Outside of the extreme pain in feet, toes and hands you can become paralyzed, I was within two points of that. After paralysis there is brain damage which is not reversable. So if you wish to continue with the gluten then, you will continue not to absorb and you are defeating the purpose of B-12 shotsor sublingual B-12, of course not to mention the cancers. If you wish to kill yourself by poisoning yourself with gluten that, is your right. I would consider suicide by gluten poisoning to be a very slow and painful death.

Be happy you found out now, not 30 years later like myself or others. Look at the damage to our bodies because doctors would not listen. Because you can't feel the pain now and maybe you won't doesn't mean damage is not done nor not being done that could result in your death. Adjust now, it is easier than doing it at some of the ages the rest of us are, there is life after gluten. No one said it is easy and no one said life is fair so, we all suck it up and do what we have to do. I do it because I am not ready to die a slow and painful suicide.

I forgot to mention the joys of either being obese or anorexic because of this condition if you continue to eat gluten and the fact you could lose all your teeth. I have few teeth left from this disease.

That's nice, now take rice away from us...way to go jerks.

picturing that

oh my gawd - my brother adn I had a braces incident - we were in the pool (with the lawn furniture, we got busted for that) and I pushed off the side, really hard, underwater - rammed my mouth into his knee - my top braces slid down and were halfway off - - - to this day they think I was doing it to hurt my brother, who had a nice cut on his knee - IT"S A LIE

Rusla - yes, Richard's a faker - clearly he's too cheery to be a REAL Celiac.....he jsut wants to play with us

what? and you married her? WHO doesn't like to talk about POOP?????

We know his type, we are just passions gluten-free playthings to him..

Let's face it poop may be a crappy subject but if you can't discuss it with the one you are married to then what is left in life.

We didn't discuss the need to talk openly about our bowel movements during the pre-marriage counseling sessions. Imagine that!

I'm actually Bev's husband (nobody tell her)

As for not being a Celiac...do I need to change my Avatar back to flaming *ssman?

Whatever was wrong with that counsellor for not bringing it up? How did they ever get their certificate? That is number one in counselling because money problems never out rank bowel movements. Blasphemy I tell you.

I had a miserable dream that people were holding me down and feeding me gluten. I woke up crying it was so awful. So, I can relate to that a whole lot.

Richard--wishful, sinful, wicked you. Imagine you having friends and gluten-free ones that are also women, how could you. Such a disgrace, your wife must have thought you were the only gluten-free person in the universe. We know that you are just using Celiac to flirt with all of us. We all know how stimulating a discussion on poop can be. She will think we are all talking in code when we use words like dh and gas.

Ashley,

Your mom is a great person, her and I talk often and she is a wonderful friend. Like Karen, her and I have never met as I also live in Canada, but hopefully some day we will.

Now, I have come upon something that may have correlation to your TB case. My grandmother on my mother's side died from TB when my mother was 4 years old. My mothers sister, had no enamel on her teeth to the point you could see through them. She had them all pulled out she. She also told me she has always had problems with wheat and flours, like me, she would be spending lots of time in the bathroom

.My mother is headed for a colonoscopy soon so we will find out whether she has it or not. So far my younger brother's biopsy's came back negative.

So hopefully yours will come back negative.

First of all I leased my vehicle to begin with because as a business owner I use my car mostly for my business.With a lease (in canada) you can take the full lease amount each month the portion used for business. This also includes gas, insurance and maintenance.

On a lease vehicle when you turn it back in if you don't go for the buy out they will charge you for every mile/km over what you said you would travel. You will also be charged for every scratch and dent some jerk puts in your car. I only have two years left to pay on my car so I have now rolled it over for the buy out meaning it belongs to me.

If I didn't decide on the buy out all the rude jerks and their brats who slam shopping carts and their car doors or run keys along my paint job, I would have been charged for all of those. Some people will do that deliberately because of the signage on your car or they are jealous because you drive a newer vehicle than they do.I had a man follow me in the shopping centre lot calling me names etc. because of the reason my vehicle was new and his was not.

I have a Toyota, they have a exceptional warrenty and they are a very good vehicle.

You need to know that if you lease and something goes on the vehicle that is not included in the warranty then you have to pay just like you owned the vehicle. If you want a security device in your car that disables the system that whether you lease or not, you pay for it.

Would I lease a vehicle again, yes as long as I still have a business. I would for the first few years then roll it over again. When you buy it if you are a business you can only deduct the yearly interest.

You want a warranty that lasts as long as possible, covers everything for as long as possible and I do mean everything.

Congratulations Carrie!

So where are you off to? Don't say BC or I will become very jealous. If you say Jamaica or Cuba I will become murderous. LOL

Well, the 1000 "more" pounds had me stumped..... If you are implying that you already are 1000 lbs, then I would have to say you have totally lost your marbles!!!! Unless all those children you have been eating lately has packed on those pounds!!!!

I feel like I weigh 1000 pounds. All those children are high caloric intake. They are quit fatty you know, especially with the bbq sauce or sweet and sour sauce.

It could be both. I got sciatica after some extreme surgery but could it have been also caused by celiac, I really don't know. I always say my psychotic nerve is acting up.

Ashley, welcome to the board. Tell your mom to hurry and get a new monitor she is missed. I hope you don't have this but if you do then you can hang with us and you can hang with us anyway.

Karen, I don't want it that moist. I see you avoided the 1000 pounds issue which means yes.

Oooooh, Rusla,

The absolute best!

Hugs.

Karen

Are these good and moist? Will they make me gain 1000 more pounds?

Hugs,

Rusla

Well let's see the other day at work the head boss brought in some donuts for everyone. Then the union came by with KFC and Pizza. They asked if I wanted any and I said, I could not have it do to extreme allergy to wheat and gluten. Well their answer was oh, sorry but that doesn't stop them from doing it over and over. I wonder if one can't brand this as a work place prejudice.

Congratulations!

Eat gluten-free and make the world eat gluten-free with you. If they dine on gluten then, they dine alone. They never knew and now I think I would break to them so they won't go "ewww it was gluten-free."

Susan,

Depression is a way of life for me, even worse with gluten and eggs. Just when I get an urge to cheat I think about the things I mentioned and really don't need cancer to throw into the pile. I also think about my pain and my leper face. Yes, I know not everyone has that ability or can combat the urge of gluten when it is everywhere.

How many times in my life I was so depressed that I ate a whole chocolate cake or box of donuts (and I am not that fond of donuts). How many times have I thought of tossing myself off a bridge but the fear of heights and fish flipping about in my underwear stopped me. How many times have I thought of driving my car into a cement abutment, many but I stop myself.

When I think about cheating, I think of everything I have said to do with cancer and everything else. I sit down and write. I write about my hate for the disease, places, doctors and people who don't get it and can't think outside of the wheat box. I write because, well that is what i do and for those who writing is not an occupational thing it can still be cathartic, it is for me also.

If writing doesn't stop you then maybe chasing dingos will or vice versa. The thing is to find something that will not damage your health any further. Something you can do that will take care of the depression and want of gluten. I do some of my best writing when I am depressed. How about kick boxing, I so want to go back to that but I still lack energy. I notice the accidental glutenings suck all the life out of me.

We are all rowing this boat together and some days it feels like we only have one oar in the water and are just going in circles, other days it feels like we have a big hole in it but we are still in it together. I just hate to see someone suffer because they deluded themselves into thinking nothing will happen if they don't see some outward signs of it.

Gluten is like a drug. It is like being addicted to cocaine, you crave your drug of choice, it will do damage to your body, mind and soul. Gluten for us is just like that, we should all be going to Gluten Addicts Anonymous.

The thing is some people cheat all the time thinking, no one will know but their body knows and they are only cheating themselves but then that is also their perogative.

Ashley, hun, if you end up with celiac, I will send you down a care package of every single cake mix you can think of!

Is your mom's computer still on the blink? Hope she gets it fixed soon - I miss her here!!!!

Did you have your bloodwork done? Any results yet?

Hugs and welcome!

Karen

Karen, what cake mixes are you holding out on that we can get here in Canada?

Is your mother okay? I emailed her but never heard back, I have been worried about her. My email right now is acting stupid and it should be fixed this afternoon.

Lynne: tell your daughter where to find the cake mixes or tell her how to make them...lol

I hate to say this but eating ones crusts does not curl your hair. In my gluten eating days I always ate crusts and had poker straight hair. Now, I have curly hair, the only good thing I got from Hypothyroidism.

I think they need their butts kicked, some people are so very dumb.

How about buying him some Enviro Kids cereal and putting his name on the box in big letters or packing some in his lunch box.

I am sittin' here wonderin

over recipes I'm blunderin'

the turkey ain't to worried because,

I am lookin' for a stuffin.

I gotta find one gluten-free

along with my pumpkin pie,

no dairy whippped cream for me,

good old petroleum based topping it'll be.

I got the Thanksgiving blues

soon as I figure out the gluten-free booze.

What am I going to eat?

Thank goodness I don't have to wear gluten on my feet.

I got the Thanksgiving blues

Sure, what's a bit of cheating here or there. What's a little damage to your villi. What's a bit of cancer here or there. So what if you have to walk around with you BM's in a bag via cather it is worth the donuts.

Not for me and never will be, therefore I will not intentionally cheat, ever. I feel it is bad enough when it happens accidentally. This is my take on cheating and for me cheating is not worth the consequences.

I love the sesame ones, they are killer good.

Welcome Claire,

Being anemic is part of this fun stuff. Hopefully your doctor has given you some sublingual b-12 or some shots. Now as for bones aching, could be arthritis, have they explored that yet? Or perhaps fibromyalgia which is not bones hurting but sure can feel that way.

There's no viz on the link, just the copy. I would have approached the story differently, but I live it through Ty. It sort of made Celiac sound like it's no big whoop, but it is. I would have touched on the inconvenience of it and the label reading and unexpected places for gluten to be...example Twizzlers, Smarties, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, salad dressing...that sort of thing. But I'm a director, not a reporter.

The story was only a minute forty, so not very long to convey all the info everyone would want. I think it's unfortunate that she didn't mention how eating at a mainstream restaurant is tricky and not everyone can eat at Splitt. No kids allowed for example. I would also have mentioned no cure and the only treatment is a gluten-free diet for life.

Still, I'm glad the story got on the air, she also mentioned the Calgary conference at the end of the month.

I am with you on this. I told them when they came the interview that there is no cure, eating anywhere is tricky. I gave them an extensive list of symptoms that I have but of course most end on the cutting room floor. I believe it should have been at least five minutes long. They always seem to give much more time to things other allergies or conditions. This in itself shows there needs to be more awareness.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Starfish Trelawny resort in Trelawny, Jamaica. They would point out everything I could and could not eat each day for every meal in the buffet.
