The first time I had vegetables no soy sauce and some curried rice noodles with shrimps it was excellent, with steamed rice. This time I had something Schezwan noodles or something like that, except instead of the thick noodles I had rice noodles no soy sauce, it had pork, chicken and shrimp it was good. Gee Skoki you must live pretty close to me. I...

I am going to put Bipolar out there in terms that people can understand. Bipolar is the majority many cases genetic. It can miss generations or not. Not everyone in the family has to have it either. To say if you exercise you will be cured of bipolar depression is like saying if you exercise you can cure yourself of Celiac disease also. When a person is...

ARCHIVED Leaving For Cruise Tomorrow
Rusla replied to Ursa Major's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Have a great cruise Ursula! I can't wait till March gets here and I fly to Jamaica. -
The Hi Ball Restaurant in the Stadium shopping center will accomodate those with Celiac, only deep fried items can not be changed. I am sorely disappointed in the Palliser Hotel in Calgary. I was there for a conference this weekend. They were notified months ago that there would be two Celiacs there and others. They did a great deal to accomodate the...

Nini...Good for you, you look good. If I was that size again I could wear almost everything in the closet. I accidently got glutened this weekend and ended up bloating up to 5 lbs. I still don't know what did it.

Talking horses would not bother me but hairy spiders would. The other night I dreamt I was mad at everyone over environmental pollution, the year was 2046. I got so mad at all the countries for continuing to pollute that I declared it was time for me to die.

ARCHIVED Sweet Things

I was thinking it was either all in my head, but it happened yesterday again. This morning at work I looked at the chocolate here and I walked away. I remember how sick I felt yesterday. -
ARCHIVED Those "top Secret Recipes" Books

You wouldn't happen to have the old KFC Bean Salad recipes would you? -
ARCHIVED Long Time Celiac But Experiencing New Problems Need Some Guidance
Rusla replied to swatson's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I get the same thing and my dermatologist said the exact same thing. I told him to humor me and do a skin biopsy and it came back positive. Do yours itch and you get a rash with them? Mine only happen when I have been glutened. -
I used to have yeast infections constantly before the Hysterectomy. The Gyn told me he figured I was allergic to the yeast in my own body, that was when I was 21. when I had the hysterectomy for the yeast infections stopped but the itching never did. The itching never stopped until I wengt gluten-free. Forgot to mention, if I get accidently glutened it...

ARCHIVED How Many Family Members With Celiac?
Rusla replied to chrissy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The only other person brave enough to have the blood test in my family is my sister and that test is negative. The brothers are too chicken. -
I know a pretty even selection of men and women with Celiac. Although you hear of women having it more. I agree why you hear of more women having it is because (I know this from experience with brothers and such) that, many men are chicken about going to the doctor. They are afraid the doctor may want them to take their clothes off and inspect things...

ARCHIVED Sweet Things
Rusla posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have found after being gluten-free for a month and a half that; if I eat anything sweet... like chocolate that, it is too sweet. I used to be able to eat a ton of chocolate before and not feel sick. Now it takes a couple of pieces and I have had more than enough. I feel like I am going to vomit. Has anyone else had this since being gluten-free? -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerence And Thyroid Problems
Rusla replied to tiffjake's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. When they discovered the nodules because I hounded the doctor to do an ultrasound and then the nodules were growing and I was starting to choke when I ate 4 specialists turned me down to see me. They wanted them to be bigger then they would operate and remove them. I went to the doctor who is signing the Rev. Canada papers... -
My hands would swell so bad that I could not bend my fingers or pick up the telephone. I had to use both hands to pick up the phone. It hadn't occured to me, until it was mentioned, but my hands have rarely swelled up in the morning since being gluten-free. I will wait and see what happens when the weather gets really cold.

Ursula... your husband is a donut head. He is like the doctors, he just doesn't get it. I want to smack people over the head when they are so dense and stupid. The reason I don't,is because I know with their hollow heads that would probably cave their heads in. I know you wish he would have to live through what you are living through. There are so many who...

I used to make ones that were similar only with coco, coconut, vanilla, sugar,butter, milk, raisins or walnuts, and rolled oats. I always used the raisins. I sure do miss them as no longer can the rolled oats be put in them.

ARCHIVED Which One Of You Did This?
Rusla replied to CeliaCruz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Even BC I would have never ate a pizza that looked like that and it had pepperoni on it which is also a no no in my world. Perhaps the pizza was trying to get away. I would think someone made it out of paper mache. -
ARCHIVED Ladies Only....feminine Problems?
Rusla replied to mandigirl1's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
As I am allergic to multiple things, I had to make sure that there is no perfumes in my laundry detergent. Also having latex allergies and other things I have to be careful off. But most of my itching guit below sea level when I went gluten-free. -
Ursula-- You are so right. I would sit and look at my size 6 leather clothes and cry because I couldn't wear them. I hated people calling me a "fat cow" and worse, idiot doctors saying, "you need to lose weight" but were too stupid to find out what was wrong. I rarely go out except to work or friends places because I hate being in public and the added weight...

I have read this many times. It seems to me what she is saying is that she wants to be lactose and gluten intolerant because she wants to be able to say she is and get special treatment. By her saying 'how much longer do we have to put up with the gluten crap', sounds like she is saying she is tired of hearing it . It keeps sounding to me like she is indicating...

ARCHIVED Did Anyone Need To Decrease Meds After Going gluten-free?
Rusla replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have had my Synthroid dropped by 50 micrograms since going gluten-free. -
Actually during the last seven years was when my weight would go up and no matter what I did, I couldn't lose it. I had lost 12 pounds in two weeks and when I had to go back on gluten for a week I gained it all back and some. Now after being gluten-free for six weeks, I am now 28 pounds lighter and this was with eating three chocolate bars due to stress the...

ARCHIVED An Email From My Celiac Support Group--a Must See For All
Rusla replied to darlindeb25's topic in Publications & Publicity
Thanks for sending this Deb. Obviously that ditz thinks this a fad diet and we are all trying to be part of the "in" crowd. She is only demonstrating how ignorant she really is and how self-centered. As she is such a princess she doesn't want to put up with "this gluten crap." She should try it from our end of the fence. Well I have written to the... -
I have lost about 25 lbs since going gluten-free at the end of November. Everytime I even get a slight accidental glutening my weight stands still for at least two weeks. I accidentally got glutened at work 2 days ago (some crumbs on a desk).
