ARCHIVED Ugh. I Think I Have To Give In....
Rusla replied to VydorScope's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
May I suggest Toffutti Marry Me bars or fudge bars they are dairy/gluten-free and taste just like ice cream. They are the only of their ice cream type line that are GFDF. Also many of the Rice Dream ice creams are GFDF, I think Soy Delicious is as GFDF. No dairy sucks but I know where you are coming from. Philly Swirls are great. -
ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?
Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think you should be that uppity snooty wine drinker, who dabbles in tequila. -

Ha! I do not like talking on the phone. Now my older brother would spend and still does spend hours on the phone. -
ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?
Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
That is because women comunicate as opposed to grunting and waving clubs. I am sorry you are stressed and lost your job. If we all lived near each other we could all go out for a milkshake (with rum) or something. Then we could scratch our genitals and armpits and communicate. -

I am going to come and take pictures of Radman dancing on the table. What would you call it Vincent? Is there a new word for it now? -

Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think Vincent, you are refering to the traditon of "male bonding." Which of course men do so much more differently than women. -
ARCHIVED An Apology To Radman
Rusla posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Radman, I know when you first came on the list you mentioned there was an undercurrent of hostility. This is my take on perhaps why you felt this. I believe that when you said you were a “cancer doctor” as opposed to a “Radiation Oncologist,” some people may have thought you were a fake and a flake. We do get some of those from time to time. We hav... -
ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?
Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes they do. Even some vodka's are distilled with grain but not many. I suggest doing many tequila's and then dancing on the table. -

Good evening Radman, I would have never figured you for having neaderthal buddies, but then it is nice to a mixture of friends. Anyway how about drinking, rum,or tequila...tell them only macho men with added attractions drink what you do. If you go to the same place all the time take a look at their food list ahead of time, and find out from them if... -
ARCHIVED Butterfinger/lindt
Rusla replied to Jess's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
All Lindt in Canada has Barley Malt in them too. That is the chocolate bunnies also. I know I have read them all. -
ARCHIVED Is Celiac Ever Misdiagnosed?
Rusla replied to Lsquared's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Laura, Welcome to the board and the best place for support. Celiac Disease is always misdiagnosed but against, not for Celiac. Meaning most don't have a clue about it and tell you that you DON'T have it or it is menopause, flu, IBS, Colitis, all in your head, you are and idiot, Crohns, etc., etc. You have damage that they saw, so you would have... -
ARCHIVED Giving Up Celiac Diet
Rusla replied to happy4dolphins's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If it is any consolation to you the first time I tried without diagnosis I didn't last very long. I figured it couldn't kill me. Now I know different and I pursued the doctors with a vengence because things were going more wrong than before. I just hate to think you may be doing damage to yourself or feeling worse if you go back. However, it is your decision... -
ARCHIVED Dr Not Knowlegable
Rusla replied to jinches's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Many doctors are not knowledgable and it is like pulling teeth to get them to do the test. Then they do it wrong by not giving you the information you need to do the test. Of course they don't give you the information because they know nothing about it. It is one big vicious circle. -

Make him walk in it and sponsor him. -
ARCHIVED Going To A Wedding, Is This Tacky?
Rusla replied to skoki-mom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
The students who are in the Highwood Room are not just cooks-in-training. They are in their final phase and they have their instructors with them who are journeymen chefs. If she has had not problem there before then the instructors/chefs are well acquainted with the problems. If not as a Culinary Arts school they are under definite obligations to tell them... -

Fresh produce is not that fresh either. It is a produce kept in a warehouse for who knows how long and barely any flavour. You know how flavourless it is when you go some where and eat real fresh fruit and vegetables everyday and it tastes like fruit and vegetables. I walk through the whole store and the thing that interests me the most are ice cubes and... -
ARCHIVED Going To A Wedding, Is This Tacky?
Rusla replied to skoki-mom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
The Highwood Room, that is where the final year culinary students do it all. They must have added gluten-free foods into the criteria now. When I went it was not present but that was 25 years ago. I don't think you should have any problems there and it is not tacky to let the bride know. -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Tea To Help Sore Throat Lost Voice?
Rusla replied to VydorScope's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I get catnip herb at the health food store and boil it up and strain it for a tea. Great for colds and sore throat. -
ARCHIVED How Strict Do We Need To Be?
Rusla replied to radman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Radman, I believe you are #5 with added attractions. Meaning that perhaps you think as a doctor you should know everything. You also secretly in the back of your mind feel you are infalible because you are a doctor. Probably your subconcious is saying; "you can't have this, you are a doctor and what will everyone say?" I thought in the beginning I could... -
ARCHIVED International Walk For Celiac Disease
Rusla replied to lisaemu's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Corrine, unfortunately I just saw on the site that it has been postponed until 2007. I guess that gives me time to get in shape for it. I am glad it made your daughter happy. They don't have a big selection but they had somethings and it was good. -
ARCHIVED Going To A Wedding, Is This Tacky?
Rusla replied to skoki-mom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I would not think that is tacky. Perhaps if you feel the need to tell her how thrilled you are for her and just tell her you have discovered a severe allergy to gluten, you are sorry but y you have checked with the restaurant and they would be happy to oblige. Then when it gets closer to the wedding call the restaurant and make sure they know. -
ARCHIVED Delta Airlines No Longer Offers Gluten Free Meals
Rusla replied to floridanative's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Well if you consider that some people who have Celiac have a wheat allergy they could die from exposure to it, just like any other allergy. Each allergy is different in each person. Some have minor nut allergies and some are severe. -
Probably a coincidence with the kids. Kids are little germ spreaders. There has been lots of colds and flu going around this year and kids are at school with other little diseased ones. It is just like lice, you will never have lice until your kids go to school then, you will get it because of they got it from other kids.

ARCHIVED Wheat In Mascara/shampoo
Rusla replied to stardust's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I will let you know. I am not a chemist but I will keep doing it till I get it the way I like it. They are not tested on animals, just on me. I could never use Mary Kay, of course I have very sensitive skin and tons of allergies.
