  1. Unfortunately some of us who are allergic to the flu shot have to roll the dice on this one. The last flu shot I had put me in the hospital and I was swollen for more than a month. I have managed to fight every flu that has gone around in this building, I hope I will this year too.
  2. I don't get the flu shots even though I am supposed to because of my asthma etc. I am allergic to them which I suffer more with them than if I had the flu.
  3. It would be worth giving them a call. The one here say they do it all the time.
  4. Here is another place to add to your gluten-free list for all the people in Calgary. The Heildleburg House in Calgary (German Canadian Club) does gluten free, and vegetarian meals. They have a German Buffet but you can call ahead and request special meals.
  5. What I have done so that everyone doesn't think I am on some fad kick diet. I have told them period that I can not have gluten or anything to do with gluten. This is something I have to do for life because of my health. This way they are not going to say, "are you still on that diet."
  6. Welcome to the board, I have found it being helpful here. I hope you enjoy being here.
  7. That is sad that your BF's parents haven't had you over. The probably don't know what to do or handle it and figure if they stick their head in the sand it will go away. I hope they can come around for you. Because I just had a huge surprise. I just had the most amazing conversation with the hardest person in my family to get to come around. My mother...
  8. I would do it but I have been gluten-free for three day and I have not had the biopsy. They would not want to pay to fly me down there either probably. I would be a great one to try it on because if there is an unusual reaction, I will have it, then on the other hand one could grow three heads from it and get other medical problems. They could save tons of...
  9. This is my golden opportunity to really introduce myself so my real name is Randi-Lee and Some of my friends call me Rusla, as it is my craft name. I am a Pagan and I do not eat children and kill husbands, although I have had some ask me if I could. That would be not good for the karma. I am 53 and was married for 6 months 33 years ago, I have never remarried...
  10. George--- I can understand your frustration, I have the same thing going on my mother says"that little bit won't hurt", my friends are trying to adjust. The ones who understand the best is my sister who has Celiac friends and was the one who encouraged me to go for this test and my older brothers diabetic wife. The rest are going to have a tough time of it...
  11. I have been on message boards a long time. Nothing compares to the unbelievable things that happen on religious or writer's message boards. That is where some of the most assinine and hideous names and accusations abound. Why this happens on boards is the same reason it happens person to person. It is simple personality conflicts that cause this and s some...
  12. All of you who have DH did you get it when you were first gluten free also? I itch so much I have a back scratcher in my bag at work.
  13. I can't see why you couldn't use coconut oil with butter flavor. I like hemp oil too,actually I am addicted to hemp seeds. I usually use the margarine for baking. I think one is as good or bad as the other meaning they are equal except for me of course. I love the taste of butter but it depends on whether I think I have suffered enough of not on my daring...
  14. I know the owner of the one in Market Mall I am going to ask her about the other flavors. I can't drink the Orange, orange julius it makes me sick but I can drink the strawberry one. I wonder if they put something different into the strawberry one.
  15. I guess us A's are right up there as I am A+.
  16. DeHoughs Bon Bons on 16 ave. NE across from Peter's Drive-In is not just gluten-free, but the dark chocolate is DF and he also has diabetic chocolate. Bernard Calebeaut (sp)? All but the Gilbert line is gluten-free Purdy's Chocolates all except for two. Anything with the crisps and one other are gluten-free, dark chocolate is DF.
  17. I have been told that perogi's are made out of mashed potatoes and I would do some mixing of bean, soy, or rice flour to give it a shot. If I can find someone with the recipe I bet I could change it to fit gluten free.
  18. I am your other end of the spectrum. I have gained 175 in less than 5 years and lost 11 teeth right now I still haven't healed from the last tooth pulled almost 3 weeks ago. I have burning in my stomach, diarrhea, migraine headaches and kidney pain with gluten. I will also get pimple like clear little blisters on my face and chest. I am also casein, lactose...
  19. I can do accupressure on anyone except myself, I can stop their headaches, pain and clear their sinuses with it, however the best I can do on myself is my sinuses. I use meditation for many things and is mind over matter. However, with allergies and lactose, gluten, casein pain it doesn't work because the pain is so bad I can't concentrate but I do it...
  20. I sure wish we had a place like that here.
  21. Did they say if this test is done like strips like diabetics use? I would think it would be similar to a home pregnancy test.
  22. Which bread from Anna do you usually get and have you tried her Banana bread one?
  23. My problem was I did not know I had to eat gluten for a time before having the test. No wonder I have to retake it but with burning stomach and kidney pains with gluten, I don't know if I can do it again. But if I want the diagnosis to be accurate I guess I will have to do it again.
  24. I have already emailed Anna and she will and does ship to Canada.Lakeview has some good recipes books for other things but forget their bread. There is Earth's Oven in Marda loop, going to give them a try on Wednesday also. Amaranth has great gluten free bagels. I have not had problems with the tofutti brand "Better than sour cream" or "better than cream...
  25. On Wednesday I am going to order some of Anna's bread mixes and have them sent up to Canada for me. There is also supposed to be a new bakery here that has good gluten-free and DF bread. I have found the same with some bread recipes they are just to crumbly and dry, that I have tried. I have considerable bread recipes but they ask for copious amounts of rice...
