    Well the only things that weren't gluten-free were the buns and we had two types of pumpkin pies gluten-free and regular. It is nice when things come together nicely. Just to add to that and being quite impressed with Smitty's restaurant in Canmore. We had our tukey day on Sunday after I drove up there from work. Yesterday morning before we left to drive...

    I am not much of a squash girl but the soup was very hearty and good . He baked the squash then mashed it adding assorted vegetables like onion, mushroom, garlic, carrots I think celery, a bit of indian curry, a bit of cinnamon and I can't remember what else. It was totally filling and gluten-free. I will have to get the recipe from him as he just made it...

    Happy Birthday Tavi. Now the scariest age for me was 30, so far. However, I know that they made a mistake on my birth certificate because my mind is 25 except for the senility part and well my body is the give away, this morning it feels ninety. Of course winter weather makes it hurt and creak more. My saving grace is most think I am maybe 40 not that...

    Here is what I do when I need to find out what the non chemical ingredients are, I have the pharmacist open their books and search what all the ingredients medicinal and non medicinal are in the meds. They are so used to me that now they automatically check when they get a prescription.

    Well to put two positive spins on it I also had a great gluten free Thanksgiving. I brought the gluten-free pumpkin pies. My brother made summer squash soup with vegetables in it, the stuffing for the turkey was wild and basamanti rice with onions and mushrooms in it and it was much lighter and tastier than even bread stuffing. It was excellent.

    What you may want to do is build a dog run with a house and a door on the front of the run out of chain link for when you put him out there. If you have a door with a latch and a way to put a lock on it then you could put him out there when it is nice and lock it so no one lets him out and no coyote will push up the latch and open it. They will not just...

    I often use corn starch.

    I find the length of time differs from person to person. It also seems relevant in how severly it affects you. For me it takes a minimal amount to cause me to have DH and be terribly ill. I have been totally gluten-free for almost a year. I miss eating turkey sandwiches but the pain and dh is not worth having any gluten. Unofrtunately I have been glute...

    Yes it can take awhile. Sometimes illness, such as mononucleosis or something else, surgery, stress, or a traumatic event could throw it into full gear. Mine started after my bout with Mono at age 19. Needless to say after a very stressful and traumatic event it got worse. Some people it shows up when they are kids and some when they are adults. It has...

    Nicole, pernicious anemia doesn't mean shots for life. I recomend you go to a health food store and get sublingual b-12. I didn't want to shots for the rest of my life and regular B-12 I could not absorb (gee I wonder why), but the doctors at that time were too stunned to check for Celiac. So, I was told by someone to go get sublingual B-12. All you do is...

    Well Jen, you aren't crazy welcome to the board. Now you do know that with these gluten tests you need to be eating gluten everyday up to the test. Even then you could come back with a false negative. Sometimes an illness, stress or traumatic event can trigger this disease. Also remember when going gluten-free that this has to also be any skin creams,...

    Snickers, Mars, and M&M's are made by the same company they always disclose everything on the package including if it is made in a facility that makes gluten products. They are safe, I have eaten them. You were thinking of Hydrolozied(sp?) Vegatable Protein HVP which is different than Hydogenated Vegtable Oil.

    ARCHIVED Anyone Gone Raw?

    Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Well I went to my first raw uncooking class. The woman who taught it has be totally raw for 19 years and she went that way after they said she had lupus. Well she there are no signs or lupus or arthritis which she had then. She looks totally healthy and she doesn't eat beans or tofu. She uses lots of green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and avacados. To...

    Or if you are on a Mac laptop just hit your space bar on the bottom.

    You can have a happy healthy life without gluten. Yes, you can recover and mend but to not do damage to your body which can lead to death you need to never have gluten again. This as the others have said is a genetic predisposition. So you are never cured. For me a few unknowing crumbs makes me very, very ill.

    You can also try Jicama (pronounced hick a ma). It is white like a potato and is great shreded in salads also.

    Happy Birthday Evie! Now I like you was told I had a wheat allergy 25 years ago at least. However, trying to force other doctors to look into things is futile. So like you I have a host of problems from this and the major one is losing more than ten teeth in less than five years. I just hope that people think back to you and many of us others when they...

    I don't know about in the US but in Canada their labeling always said;"made in a facility that produces gluten products."

    ARCHIVED What Do You Miss?

    Rusla replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Excuse me for being off topic,but Carrie, your wedding gown is so gorgeous. You look positively enchanting in it, I didn't realize the big day had already gone by. Congratulations.

    There are some days I crave a gluten pizza because I can smell it, or chinese dumplings. Then I think about how a few grains make me sick, my DH breaks out on my skin and I look like a leper. I think about all the pain and I say to myself, "no way." I walk away from it and always glad I did.

    Don't believe everything you read in a text book. Oh and by the way it can kill you. People have died from this diseases, some have gotten colon and stomach cancer. Many have almost starved to death and this disease causes many problems some of which are life threatening. It is more than obvious that you don't have this problem or personally know people...

    Lynne, I presume she has had the Manitou test. She does not have TB but it means she has been exposed to TB if she shows levels on it. It can go away as my mother many long years ago showed levels on the Manitou test and her mother died from TB. But that was way back when they had no way to treat TB. My mother no longer shows TB levels. Sometimes it does...

    ARCHIVED Anyone Gone Raw?

    Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I don't know if I could ever go totally raw but I have no problems with raw fruit or vegetables unless I eat too much. Smoothies don't bother me even if I drink them all day. Actually the woman I talked to told me it took her ten years to go totally raw and it usually isn't something most people can do right off the bat. I will give it a short. I figure as...

    So you are actually telling Ursula to go out and deliberately do more extensive health damage to her body because her family is a pack of self-centred, inconsiderate boobs. Why would someone ever come up with what you just did when her health is at stake. Her husband and kids show her no consideration. If they won't listen on Celiac then what makes you think...
  25. Rusla
    Lots of fruit, fresh BC grown fruit and organic vegetables, rice pasta, occasionaly fresh halibut fish steaks, shrimp, scallops, organic corn fed free range chicken. That is primarily my list. Oh and chocolate addiction which I need to curb.
