ARCHIVED American Idol Fans?
lonewolf replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You must live further east than I do. It doesn't come on for 45 more minutes here. Can you help me with a little joke on my kids? Which 2 guys and which 2 girls get voted off? I'd love to be able to be "right" when I predict it at the beginning of the show. My kids would think I'm so smart! I wouldn't consider it a spoiler. I'm guessing Sundance... -
ARCHIVED For Those Who Are Dairy Free

Where do you get it? I've never seen it. Is it trans fat free too? -
ARCHIVED American Idol Fans?
lonewolf replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Our favorites were Stephanie, Jordin, Melinda and Lakisha. The girls were so much better than most of the guys! We're predicting that a girl will win it this year, although Blake or Brandon might surprise us. -
ARCHIVED Weight Loss Suppourt Thread (shannonl) And Any Others Who Want To Join
lonewolf replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Autumn - I hope you and your daughter are feeling better! Shirley - I think you win the award for the most faithful member of our "group". I wonder if everyone else has given up? Yesterday was my older son's 12th birthday, so I ended up having dessert at grandma's and then cake and Rice Dream at home. I won't even go into the part about finding... -
ARCHIVED I Made My First B-day Cake Today.
lonewolf replied to vampella's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
It's beautiful! I'm sure your daughter is thrilled and I'm sure it will taste great!! -
Just to be clear - I don't think it's a good idea to eat raw meat. I was grossed out too. I just thought it was kind of interesting.
-
Did anyone see "Wife Swap" on Monday night? There was a family on that eats a totally raw diet - even meat and eggs. The husband and children went in for a checkup and were very healthy.
-
I was thinking more about this and realized that flood control came on when I was just searching through posts. Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter.

lonewolf replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Blake and Brandon were our favorites. Blake is from my hometown - BOTHELL, not Seattle, so we are rooting for him. Sanjaya is from the town I live in now, but I think he's headed home soon. Too bad - he's got a good voice, but he's too young. Sundance is headed home first, I think. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have Only This Symptom?
lonewolf replied to Molly229's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Going off gluten forever isn't that bad, especially when you feel good and are pain free! Same can be said about dairy. If you go off gluten for an extended period of time (at least two months, not just 5 weeks) you should be able to see a difference if it's what is causing your problems. I would suggest going off dairy for at least a few weeks too and... -
ARCHIVED Poll: Were You Or Your Children Breast-fed?
lonewolf replied to Mtndog's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks Bev! I checked "no", but wasn't actually formula fed. My mom gave me boiled whole milk sweetened with Karo syrup because my grandmother convinced her that formula wasn't good. Before that, the doctor convinced my mom that breastfeeding wasn't healthy for babies and that she couldn't possibly produce enough milk to ade quately feed a baby. I... -
ARCHIVED Can Anyone Make Sense Of These Symptoms?
lonewolf replied to KevinG's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't be embarrassed. This can actually be a symptom of Nephrotic Syndrome - a kidney problem. I have a form of nephrotic syndrome called Minimal Change Disease and there is a current thread going about it. Do you ever have swelling in your legs or a "puffy" look in your face? -
ARCHIVED Anyone Seen Dannon Commercial?
lonewolf replied to Mtndog's topic in Publications & Publicity
Me neither. Anyone? -
ARCHIVED Weight Loss Suppourt Thread (shannonl) And Any Others Who Want To Join
lonewolf replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yes, I'm Liz and I AM a food-a-choco-holic. B - chunk of smoked salmon (maybe 2 oz), 2 canned pear halves S - banana L - leftover white chicken chili soup, rice crackers dipped in spaghetti sauce S - a large handful of hershey's kisses (Hello me - I'm supposed to avoid dairy!) D - rissotto with chunks of chicken, cooked carrots... -
ARCHIVED Nephrotic Syndrome/minimal Change Disease
lonewolf replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I think that Minimal Change Disease and Celiac are different manifestations of gluten intolerance. Fajitas is the only other person I've ever met or corresponded with that discovered that diet changes affected her MCD, but I'll bet that going gluten-free would help everyone with MCD. -
ARCHIVED For Those Who Are Dairy Free
lonewolf replied to Lisa's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
We use it for popping popcorn - gives it a movie theater texture. I also melt it and put it in brownies, cakes, waffles and muffins. I personally don't like to make cookies with it - they come out greasy. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Seen Dannon Commercial?
lonewolf replied to Mtndog's topic in Publications & Publicity
Now this would be an interesting poll! I wasn't breastfed either. And to make it worse, I was fed boiled whole milk sweetened with Karo syrup because my grandmother convinced my mom that formula wasn't good for babies. This was after the doctor convinced my mom that breastfeeding was unhealthy . -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have Only This Symptom?
lonewolf replied to Molly229's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My first noticable symptom was arthritis - hands, shoulders, hips and feet. It got REALLY bad and I responded well to gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and soy-free. (Funny thing though - I realized that I did have other symptoms that I hadn't paid attention to that went away too.) I'm now arthritis free! If I were you I'd try more than 5 weeks. ... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Seen Dannon Commercial?
lonewolf replied to Mtndog's topic in Publications & Publicity
I haven't seen the Dannon commercial, but I've read this in several places. The small intestine is an important part of the immune system. Do a simple google search for small intestine and immune system and you'll get a boat load of information. -
Thanks for explaining it! I won't let my fingers fly too fast!

ARCHIVED Frustration With The Applebee's Lunch
lonewolf replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
It is understandable why you'd feel upset, but Tarnalberry is right. I've been working at the same school for 10 years with many of the same people. Everyone knows about my "allergies". In all those 10 years no one has EVER thought about what I can and can't eat for teacher appreciation days, staff lunches or snacks or twice yearly restaurant trips. I... -
ARCHIVED My Husband A.k.a. "turd For Brains"
lonewolf replied to Canadian Karen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Ooh, just the thought makes me shudder. Have you thought about banning wheat flour from your home? I had to do that, even with 4 kids, even when it was just me needing to eat gluten-free. I'll never regret that decision. -
ARCHIVED Nephrotic Syndrome/minimal Change Disease
lonewolf replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
No problem - I'll be at my computer for a little while this morning before taking off for the day. -
ARCHIVED Nephrotic Syndrome/minimal Change Disease
lonewolf replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Fajitas - this person was "banned" from the list. Apparently she removed most of her posts or they were removed for her. (You only get banned if you're persistently rude or refuse to follow the forum rules. It doesn't happen too often.) -
ARCHIVED Lundberg Organic Risotto.
lonewolf replied to MySuicidalTurtle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Trader Joe's carries Arborio rice that makes a great Risotto. I just follow the directions on the box, but don't put in the cream or cheese and it's still yummy.
