    Sometime in the next month or so, I'll be driving about 8 hours to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Tennessee -- I was wondering whether anyone had advice for how to deal with visiting family. They're pretty cool and openminded people who I doubt will have any resistance or issues with my eating needs, but I want to both protect myself and not be too much of a...

    I also have a twin brother! He's also got symptoms that look a lot like celiac -- worse anxiety than I've ever experienced, however, and also a tendency to be pigheaded (okay -- I do that too sometimes). He's actually been to the hospital a number of times for what they thought were thyroid issues, but no clear diagnosis ever seems to have surfaced from...

    There's a pan-asian place called Chopstix that does sushi and various asian things -- I've had takeout sushi there and used my restaurant card -- they've even got packets of gluten free soy sauce! There's an excellent Indian place way up in the north end of town called Chutnees -- I haven't eaten there since my diagnosis, but Indian food is generally pretty...

    I've noticed that my lips are getting redder (increased circulation? more B vitamins?), so that might have an effect on how white my teeth look. eleep

    Ditto -- I'm sorry you had to go through that -- I am recovered nicely from a glutening exactly three weeks ago -- in a week I think I should be back to normal, so a month is probably about right! e.

    I suspect it's the gut inflammation -- it takes a while for things to calm down. My reactions seem to be delayed by a day or two in any case and they don't "calm" very rapidly -- the GI issues kind of clear up a bit with a does of Immodium, but it takes a couple of weeks for me to feel right again -- and the GI stuff will flare up again on and off -- I think...

    I was just about to tell a similar story about my college roommate -- she and her boyfriend had horrific poison ivy _everywhere_.

    I use the Fructis spray gel and I can highly recommend it -- it does dry crunchy, but then you just have to gently scrunch it (maybe with a little pomade in your fingers or not) and it softens and spreads into really beautiful curls with great hold.

    Dingogirl -- I can totally recognize the "what will happen" impulse because I've got the same curious urge to push the red button and see what it does! Goes along with the "what will happen if we play gofish as a drinking game and drain this whole bottle of tequila in the process" urge from college! However, I've been finding it useful to channel that impulse...

    You know, realized I'm being the eeyore here -- I sincerely hope you don't end up feeling bad, you know -- I wish you all the doughnut joy that's possible in the world! I'm just being over-analytical about the whole thing!

    Actually, this is purely hypothetical, but I felt "happier" a couple of days after my eel sushi glutening as well -- perhaps it was relief at having "escaped" (or so I thought), but I also suspect that it may have been a surge of adrenaline as part of the early sign of the reaction. I've been getting a lot more sensitive to the whole adrenal energy versus...

    Junel is safe too!

    Oh god -- I'm going to have to go out and get some kinnickkinnick doughnuts _right_ _now_.

    It took me four days to react to my last glutening -- in the meantime, I was a little stressy, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. Then I had two days of really bad stomach stuff and fatigue. Then -- a few days later, really horrific depression which made me all insecure and weepy. The depression wasn't constant -- it's came and went, but it's was...

    My understanding is that Dove will clearly label anything that's gluten-containing in their products.

    I haven't been pregnant, but I've been in the "nothing sounds good" boat. That's usually when I turn to my own comfort foods -- which are generally breakfast-oriented. Eggs -- I eat soft-boiled eggs with avocado for protein and healthy fat. I don't react to McCann's oatmeal, so I eat that with fruit on top and a little honey. Or, I'll have the fruit with...

    I actually made a millet/chickpea pilaf this weekend, which was my first millet experience. It was quite tasty! I recommend roasting the dry millet in a skillet with a little oil beforehand -- it gets a nice, buttery kind of flavor. My acupuncturist also recommended millet as a "stomach-soothing" grain -- I'm not sure whether that's the case or not,...

    You know -- I think my Japanese Triumph dining card might be overcautious..... eleep

    The spicy tuna sauce isn't gluten-free -- not sure why, but after my eel experience I don't need to know. No imitation crab. I honestly haven't run into wasabi that contains gluten, but I've heard that it _can_ -- so I'd just ask them to check the label and let you know what's in it. eleep

    Just wondering since I've slacked off on yoga AND running for the past two days and I'm feeling a bit guilty about it since my accidental glutening was a week ago. I haven't been so thoroughly glutened in four months and back then I wasn't working out at all because my weight was so low, so this is the first time this has come up for me. Do you workout...

    You know, this might have something to do with delayed grieving -- if all the stuff about grieving being a process is correct. That is, once you get through the excitement of having something you can do to make yourself feel better -- and, of course, all of the distraction and stress of making major life changes -- you settle into a routine and begin to...

    Okay -- here's my issue right now -- it's been a week since the glutening and I'm mostly now dealing with extreme depression-type issues -- blowing small things out of proportion, feeling hypersensitive, feeling hopeless about problems, etc..... The rest of the time, I'm fine. Any temporary solutions for dealing with the depressive aftermath? I've...

    Hmmm -- perhaps it's that I'm not as lactose-intolerant as I thought I was -- I didn't think I was reacting to buttermilk or butter -- certainly didn't have the same symptoms.
  24. eleep
    Buttermilk is fermented, so the sugars should be digested. Butter itself is supposed to be extremely low in lactose because the sugar separates out with the whey. However, there are some possible exceptions to this depending on how your butter is produced: Open Original Shared Link eleep

    Actually, could someone describe "normal" to me? Aside from stuff that doesn't break apart, float or generally indicate some kind of gastro-horror D., I'm not sure what "normal" size means!
