Merry Xmas, Happy Yule everyone! Shirley, your Shiba is adorable in that hat.

I want to wish all of you a happy Yule, Christmas or whatever you celebrate or don't and a very happy and prosperous new year. I haven't been on much lately due to being terribly busy. I am now over a year Gluten-free and you have all helped me in some ways with that even though you don't know it. I would like to thank all of you for being here not just...

Thanks for the soda bread recipe. There isn't enough of me this week. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Dresden Stollen Bread Recipe
Rusla replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have never had stollen so I must be missing something. I am looking for a good melt in your mouth shortbread cookie and Irish soda bread recipe. I have to do them for a wedding and I love shortbread anyway. -
ARCHIVED celiac disease Increasing? Whats The Deal
Rusla replied to DVK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It is not so many are getting it all of a sudden but so many have had it for such a long time. The thing is many doctors did and still do go by the old ideals that Celiacs have to be rail thin etc., etc. The thing is with the research more information is getting out and with younger doctors coming in or some who are trained differently are now finding it... -
ARCHIVED Yet Another Sign Of Celiac How Can I Have So Many?
Rusla replied to Electra's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Because doctors can't think outside of the gluten box. -
ARCHIVED Stool Test For Celiac
Rusla replied to SanteeBay's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No, there is no stool test for this disease. While I am at it the reason doctors hate Enterolab is because they declare there is a test they do with stool to prove Celiac Disease. Many of the leading researchers in this disease have asked them to reveal the means they use so, they could duplicate it in their labs to see if it is accurate. Enterolab refuses... -
Holland America not only knows what Celiac disease is but they will definitely accomodate.

I would be compelled to sign said person up to bring a large rat poison lasagne. Then I would tell her that gluten and her pasta salad has the same effect on you as that rat poison lasagne would have on everyone else.

As for nail polish even that I check for gluten. If even a minute amount of it flakes off into something I am eating and it has gluten in it I am sick. For me a minute amount of crumbs that may get on my hand then if I eat something I am sick. It takes such a small amount to make me very ill and have my DH break out.

ARCHIVED For Lynne - Tiredofdoctors
Rusla replied to mouse's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Armetta, Lisa, and Laura, I want to thank all of you for thinking of this for Lynne and Dave. I don't know how many letters you rounded up. I do hope they take it to heart what we have all said. Not only does Lynne need this but she deserves this. -
ARCHIVED For Lynne - Tiredofdoctors
Rusla replied to mouse's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
There are far too many bumps here, no wonder my headaches. Anyway Armetta and Happygirl I have sent you the letter, let me know if you got it. -
I use Harvest Sun I believe it is, they are organic and list glute-free etc. on the package.

ARCHIVED For Lynne - Tiredofdoctors
Rusla replied to mouse's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Armetta, I am so sorry you are not feeling well. Believe me I know what it is like. I am still sick, I have used six boxes of kleenes and have bronchitis and worried about pneumonia at this stage. So, be careful and if you don't have to go out to work, like myself. Then, by all means don't. Hugs, -
ARCHIVED For Lynne - Tiredofdoctors
Rusla replied to mouse's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Lynne, my dear friend, When I came on here a year ago, yes a year ago hard to believe it has been that long. You and many others were the ones who helped me and many other newbies make it through the muck and mire of this disease. You were and are always there to help others. As we are like a family that most of us have never met each other in person... -
ARCHIVED Becoming Gluten-free Increases Sensitivity?
Rusla replied to Shawn's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Theater's have not used real butter for decades. Maybe the staff says that is what it is but it isn't. Their buttered popcorn always made me sick. They refer to it as a butter topping meaning it is not butter. If by some fluke of fate it is real butter you could be reacting to the casein in the butter which, for many Celiacs causes the same reaction as gluten... -
I considered eating at Denny's a big mistake before I was Dx'd, I would consider it a bigger one now. Food poisoning is for everyone.

ARCHIVED Dental Problems
Rusla replied to Haleigh's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have lost more than 10 teeth in less than 5 years and my teeth that are left, break and crumble constantly. -
I don't know about your bear claws but our bears have sharp claws. But the edible type up here are like a cookie with whipping cream in between the two pieces and chocolate on the outside over the tips. So, I bet we can use a gluten-free shortbread recipe for them or any other type of gluten-free cookie recipe.

ARCHIVED I Was Thinking What If We Had A Manners Book
Rusla replied to i canary's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well, how I handle it is I say, "I am sorry but I have a very severe deadly allergy to that wheat glutens which include, rye, oats, barley and malt." I also have a deadly allergy to wasps, hornets and bee's and would most certainly not put myself in a postion where I would have to enter a room full of them so, to me wheat is no different. -
i don't know about acrylics but I do know the OPI strengtheners are not gluten-free. I too would like to know about the acrylics.

ARCHIVED Finally Canada Gets New Labeling Laws
Rusla replied to Ursa Major's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am so thrilled about this as it is a step to making our lives easier. Now for more good news the After Eight Chocolates including the new Baily's Irish Creams are wheat/gluten-free and Ganongs Chocolates in Canada are also that way. I talked to the head of QC in Canada, whose mother is Celiac and he says there is absolutely no wheat, rye, oats, barley... -
ARCHIVED Thyroid Nodules And Possible Cancer.
Rusla replied to frenchiemama's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Here is a story on nodules. Mine were inconclusive and I killed them with synthroid. However, a friend of mine had them and before they got them out one broke and spread down into her uterus and she had to have a hysterectomy at 28. I suggest you get them out. -
First; you need to know how low her B-12 is, if it is pernicious anemia it is very dangerous. She could be in the stages where she does not remember phone numbers etc. She may have prickles in her feet and hands that without B-12 will get considerably worse. She can be come paralyed with Pernicious anemia, I was two points away from that. After paralysis...

Unfortunately, they do not manufacture their own food. So the whole thing is they have to go with what their supplier of said merchandise had on the packaging or told them. The fault lies in the manufactures of the food not the company that sells it.
