    ...And many of us "veterans" do not have an obvious reaction to accidental glutening, so we can't help by telling newbies which products we react to. I also don't particularly like talking to impersonal compny operators on the phone, but I've found many of the big company websites (Kraft being one of them) to be very helpful.

    Hey, wait! I used the word our here to refer to ALL anglophones. I would never dream of claiming ownership of the language as what, a North American? Hey, it's yours, man...you started it! I won't take the language, I won't, I won't! Actually, looking back, you're right, gfp. That sentence is ambiquous...I should have stated something like, "I love what...

    Wow, Walter...I'm really sorry to hear about this heavy load you're carrying. My only experience with depression was post-partum stuff that (thank god) only lasted about six months. Very horrible...at times I thought I was dying, and wished it, as well. I was nursing and type one diabetic, so I had to try to get through it without meds. A nightmare. ...

    Perhaps Emily herself can clear this up for us. Yeah, I'm afraid I was talking about the uncontrollable glimpsing, the sidelong, "she's-looking-in-her-drink-so-now's-the-time!" glances at the chest area. I just realized that after claiming how all my life I've never had men staring at my chest, perhaps in fact I've just been conversing with men...

    Oh! I forgot the best one! Ready... "Piddle-me-ree".

    While we're on the topic of body parts, I can do some neat tying in with my time in Europe. The English, while often drunkards, have got some stupendous vocabulary for these things. I love what the Brits do with our language, and here is no exception. Their expressions that refer to the male...part...are fantastic. My dh's old great aunt, who we visited...

    Hmmm....an interesting debate...having 34C's myself (quite average, Tom, in case you aren't knowledgeable in the world of brassieres ), I've never seemed to have that concern. Throughout my history, men have looked at my face when speaking or listening to me. It's interesting to hear your side, Jestgar. Why don't you begin staring at these individuals...

    Tom, at the risk of turning this crazed discourse of silliness into something...well...serious...(heaven forbid)!, and acknowledging that coming into this thread quite late, I likely have missed much personal history from everyone, it sounds like you stand out in your nightmare gluten story. You've hinted at years of your life simply written off. Boy...

    It's very true, Tom, that you are presented here an enviable opportunity. You can banter at a distance with countless females, trying out certain lines of conversation, getting a handle on the way we tick, and there's no bar bill to pay, no worries about where to look, just ample opportunity to listen and file away bits of knowledge from the estrogen camp...

    Welcome back, Ursula...great, happy news. I hear you on the jetlag trauma...I've just gotten back from France. Six hours is a big jump!

    ...Shocking, then hysterical...and finally, rather pathetic. I thought we Canucks got bad with flowing beer around the tv during Stanley Cup playoffs, but NOTHING holds a candle to what we saw in London!

    Ahhh...it's so nice to be back within this frenzied discourse! My French isn't quite strong enough to carry along wittily with Parisiens like this, and the Londoners...well... Allow me to elaborate somewhat on my experience with the lushes of London (that would make a good band name, now wouldn't it?). Something considered SO ordinary, SO acceptable...

    All I know is, every glass of wine I put to my lips in Paris was superb. Maybe it was the rock-bottom price...or the Seine glittering through the cafe windows...whatever the real reason matters little, I had some spectacular wine experiences over there. And did I mention all the drunks in London? Whoa, they were everywhere! I was quite taken aback.....

    Mygad, EVERYTHING they say about wine being cheap here (even cheap stuff) is completely true...wine is served like water with dinner; So, needless to say, everything is VERY good with me...not so much my husband, who is a beer drinker and the ale is very pricey here, interestingly. BIG GAPS TO MIND HERE! Ya gotta really watch when you're hurrying off the...

    Okay.....Bonjour from Gay Paree... Now, THIS is a city for an artist! And a really bohemian one, like myself...although I don't smoke, spatter paint on a canvas or wear ponchos. I'm sampling the very fine, inexpensive wine, eating the typical tourist lunch (brie minus the baguette) and lots of very tasty fruit. Culture shock here, for sure, that I did...

    Good evening, all, from Cheriton, nr Aylresford! A beautiful truly English town an hour east of London..just checking up on you all. We've spent an incredible week in London, then two nights here in an Inn that was built in the 16th century, then on to Paris for a week. I miss all your quick wit. Nikki, you have an incredible city here. I love it, and...

    Well, Silly Buddies, you won't be hearing from me for a couple of weeks (how will you ever manage?!) Nikki, we are heading across the pond tomorrow for our holiday...the first time I've ever been in Europe. We'll be four nights in London, two in Winchester, and then the last week in Paris. I will check out the teeth while I'm there!

    I have a history like your daughter's--no symptoms before diagnosis; no GI stuff, no energy-level stuff, no neuro stuff (I am genetically, I suspect, a little nuts!) All I had was low iron, and incredibly enough I was tested for celiac right away by my extraordinary GP.

    ...Yes, that has always REALLY bothered me...couples calling each other "Mom" and "Dad". I remember having a fit one year when my husband and kids presented me with my birthday cake (before the gluten-free life!) and on it was written, "Happy Birthday Mom". AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH! "Wipe that off and get the decorative icing! My name is Emily!"

    Island of bad teeth...!! Ha! The noive of you, Tom! Nikki, do you all really have poor dental health over there? My husband's relatives are all English (living there still), and I must say that all of them have pretty scary looking choppers.

    Well, as women, we have autoimmune explosions (as I did) and soldier on, don't we?

    Wow...six kids! Do I admire you, Carla.

    ...It's also great for diabetes maintenance...lowers the blood sugar. My husband will often say, "forgo that insulin injection! Let's try something else!"

    Okay, so I missed this thread...I assume that the verdict was to...partake...as much as possible while feeling lousy with lyme symptoms, and you will magically begin to feel better. That kind of thinking would not go over well with any listening pharmaceutical reps...but it's great advice.
