    never wanted one in my whole life, would look at those funnel cakes, and think, wow, how utterly vomitous. Now, what I wouldn't give (only half joking...fried dough is somehow really appealing to me now). my last thing.....the day of endoscopy/colonoscopy, and he told me right then I had advanced Celiac and not one villi, I didn't care, my friend drove...

    HI SillyYak - I am so sorry you're depressed. I can tell you what happened to me - - I was depressed for YEARS, alternating wtih mania. The mania's really fun but the crash afterwards.....debilitating. Anyway, I've been gluten-free for almost four months. In the first 3 - 4 weeks or so, I felt so fantastic, and then went into a deep crash. I don't really...

    What? This is interesting. My hair grew out into a completely different thing on top of my head in the last year, very frizzy and kinky now, each strand is much thinner in diameter. But, I thought it was because of the nervous breakdown/Siege of Terror of 2004 (I was in a state of terror, adrenaline pumping every second and lost so much weight....it...

    Nope, tempera is a type of paint, and originally contained egg yolks, pigment, and binding agents. I taught art to children for a few years, used TONS of tempera, I don't think it contains eggs any more but not sure. And I didn't know anything about gluten at that time...I am sure, like most other bulk paints now, that it is largely chemical in makeup...

    Excellent tips.... Here's what I did with a chicken - felt very proud of the mileage I got from it: Bought $5 already-cooked chicken from Costco (they are much bigger than the ones at Save Mart and $2 less!). Ate that for a couple of days, with veggies. Then used some of the chicken for quesadillas. Then pulled off remaining chicken, mixed with...

    Wow! I hadn't heard this so that's good news....

    I know EXACTLY how you feel. It's just the dogs and me, and I haven't dated since the breakup in January....can't imagine what that will be like but it makes us seem SO high maintenance. I, too hate having Celiac and being alone. But, have faith, there is someone out there for us... And I agree, we definitely need Lynn here.

    and could I add just one more YES PLEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!! Susan

    Aaaaaaagh!! Sorry it happened to you too, Lollie...I guess we can file this under "reasons why we can't figure out we've been glutened" - - - because I haven't even THOUGHT of it all this time that I've been DOING IT!!!

    Mortamer, I am so sorry about your miscarriage. Many hugs....I can't speak to this directly, but I know there are huge connections between Celiac and infertiility and possibly miscarriage. You can search the threads or post a new topic about that. Your periods might change now that you're gluten-free - mine have gotten MUCH heavier....yours might...

    A surprise discovery, every couple of weeks as I deposit checks into the ATM, I just lick that envelope without thinking. I am so careful at work and home, use a sponge every time, and have now realized that I am glutening myself with that!! So....I took the bottle of DOG WATER and swished my mouth right then and spit....I think some of it hit the ATM...

    Welcome, T - I was lucky, was very sick, blood in stool for a long, long time (I ignored it), severe anemia, very weird poop, etc. My regular doctor sent me to a wonderful gastroenterologist. He immediately suspected Celiac, rearranged the next day's schedule slightly and got me in for colonoscopy/endoscopy. I saw him one month later, and then he scheuled...

    This is how women and birds are alike....birds like sparkly things too, as they will often pick up something shiny to use in the construction of their nests, and also you will note that they poop on cars frequently.... (birds, not women) Welcome, Fairy Dust Celia! Susan

    POOP HEAVEN .....a special place only for Celiacs....

    A friend just gave me a loaf of Ener-G Light Tapioca - - I toasted two of them last night w/ butter and honey and they were, to me, very much like white bread fluff.....prett good, actually. (sorry if someone has already mentioned this - didn't see it on the thread) Susan

    thanks for CLARIFYING - hah! pun intended! Susan

    Labradors...Lara Bars.....all good...... This sounds fantastic....where do you get ghee? Isn't that yak butter or something? Can't remember. I'm going to try this..... Susan

    Oh, you are young and your brain didn't get fried from Celiac, did it....I don't read complicated books any more, was relegated to celebrity gossip magazines and the newspaper in the last few years....will pick up books again, hopefully, when I can remember plotlines...

    Chelsea - I've googled the latin translations and can't find out what your phrase means...don't keep us in the dark any longer.....
  22. DingoGirl
    I remember being a bit startled the first time there was a normal poop, in February of this year. Like welcoming an old, long-lost friend back.....
  23. DingoGirl
    Well, corndogs won't get you a kiss, but a beignet....a GOOD beignet definitely might....
  24. DingoGirl
    Nope, same thing happened to me also.....yes, glad the lifeline's back up

    Ahh.....nostalgia....spent half a summer in Italy about 20 years ago. Anyone remember the name of that famous gelateria in Florence? Vivoli's? Vivace's? Something like that...best gelato in the world, and I should know, we trekked there TWICE a day. Surely most of their gelati should be gluten-free! Ciao - Susan
