ARCHIVED Swedish Fish?
Rusla replied to Gorlo77's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am sorry but I really don't know what Swedish fish are, I have never heard of them. Are they a canned fish or are they a cracker? -
ARCHIVED M&m Meats, Canada
Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have sent them an email. The list is so far from accurate it is scary, -
ARCHIVED The Evil Vilain Gluten Strikes Again When You Least Expect It!
Rusla replied to Robix's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Okay, I have to admit to this. Gluten and I are cahoots. I send him off to reak havoc on others lives in hopes he will leave me alone. Now Gluten is not that bright, he forgets where he is to go and he comes and causes me grief. Remember the old saying "The Devil made me do it." Well we have a new one, "Gluten made me do it." When the police stop you and... -
ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?

I am sure your dancing on tables wasn't that long ago and you could revamp your career in table dancing. I am sure they would go over well at a hospital and on billboards. -
ARCHIVED M&m Meats, Canada
Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, it was actually very scary. I dreaded to think what would have happened to someone who was brand new to this. -
ARCHIVED M&m Meats, Canada
Rusla posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I went to M&M Meats today, the lovely lady there printed off what the head office calls a "gluten-free" list. Well, 95% of that list has gluten in it. They listed lasagne, cheese cake, battered, breaded, etc. I went through drawing lines through so much of it, I had to laugh. But then thinking what if I did not know what I was looking for and I was a... -
ARCHIVED Lean Cuisine, Very Important
Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Not your fault. The number for Canada and the US is different and they do not always carry the same things or made the same way, she told me. The gluten was definitely hidden in those because, I did compare the honey mustard chicken and the chicken a' la orange with my Celiac dictionary. I was very very careful. But she said the gluten was hidden. It makes... -
ARCHIVED Giving Up Celiac Diet
Rusla replied to happy4dolphins's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Nicole, get over to the doctor and have him do a skin biopsy. It does not hurt all he has to do is scrape the skin around the rash. If not have him refer you to a dermatologist and tell him to do it at urgent. I am sure it hurts a lot (mine have) but I would embellish it to get the message home. -
ARCHIVED Corn Tortilla
Rusla replied to Cin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I sometimes heat them up in a fry pan with a bit of oil, or I heat them up in the toaster oven or microwave. I like the microwave it makes them moist and if you do a few min in a plastic bag for a about 30ish seconds then, it becomes soft and I can use it as a wrap or for enchiladas. -

ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?
Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's like being pregnant. You either are or you aren't, your not sort of pregnant and you are not sort of Celiac. I can blow them up to poster size for blackmail reasons and sell the on Ebay. -
Prednisone is the evilest drug of all. Every time I have a serious asthma attack they try to feed me the stuff, or a serious allergy reaction. I try to fight them tooth and nail because I will gain 5 lbs a day and have a face and a butt the size and same shape as the moon. It also makes me very psychotic.

ARCHIVED Butterfinger/lindt
Rusla replied to Jess's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have not seen the dark chocolate or I would have ate them first. -
Welcome to the board. I have been gluten-free since Nov 28,2005 and without this board I don't know how I would have ever survived. We are like one extended family, so like a family sometimes we debate things and have different opinions. However, we all basically get along and you can learn more here than anywhere else. There are no stupid questions here...

Hi Keesea, Welcome to the board. This is a great place to learn and not feel alone. Great support here we are like an extended family who know what you are going through.

ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?
Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am the same way. If I was to have one drink of grain based alcohol now, I would not only be drunk out of my mind but sicker than a dog well into tomorrow. But if I was to drink say three four oz glasses straight of tequila I would be fine. I may be a little drunk because of our altitude but that would be it. I could drink many rums without much effect outside... -
ARCHIVED An Apology To Radman
Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
That is too bad. I guess that was definitely before my time on the board. As Vincent said many times people tend to forget that everyone is a real person on a forum with real feelings. Just because they are doctors doesn't mean they don't have feelings. I guess society as a whole makes them seem like they are not real people. I have had a few good doctors... -
ARCHIVED Villi Damage From Other Food Intolerances?
Rusla replied to megsylvan2's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I hope nothing else does that, would be terrible. I have so many intolerances it would be a real ordeal to find out which did what. -

And everybody would wan't to know what the "added attractions" are and those will be a big secret. I think those would be great t-shirts. -
ARCHIVED An Apology To Radman
Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think perhaps a lot of us did not realize how angry we all were with doctors. Unfortunately the first doctor on the board got jumped. Now, we are just trying to get him drunk and get him to dance on the table so I can get some pictures. -

Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
You may be on to something. I could never understand why if I even smelled beer why I would vomit. Also when my shampoos were heavy with wheat, my scalp would break out. Now, if I even get a few crumbs into anything I get violently ill. -

Thanks Peter, you must have seen a different x-ray than they did. I don't think he is on to us yet. -

Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am not much of a drinker either. I still have Cuban rum celebrating it's almost third anniversary of arriving to Canada and living in my house in it's virgin state. Also Heinz white vinigar is gluten-free. -

I used to get sick on everything except; rum, vodka and tequila. Now I know why because they are not grain based. Also on occasion I drink white wine and champagne.
