Amanda, waiting for winter, did you say? Well then what was all this talk of heinous roads, driving on ice, snow......all of that. Was that imaginary? Were you lying to us?

ARCHIVED Puff Pastry Or Voul-au-vent?
DingoGirl replied to Lisa16's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Cooking is such an art form.....and my creativity, unfortunately - since due to Celiac I am now required to cook nearly every day - takes its flight in so many other media.....cooking is just drudgery to me! I WISH that I enjoyed it more......but chopping, measuring (or not - I only measure when I bake), the acquisition and preparation of food has alwyas... -
ARCHIVED Could It Be That Simple?
DingoGirl replied to Muzz's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hmmmmmm....I think only antibiotics can be a "cure." Other than that, you're probably right...everything else treats symptoms. And yes, there's no MONEY involved in gluten removal, so doctors/pharmaceutical companies don't really give a crap about it, and most never will. If we're all healthy, how would they stay afloat? They don't want this.... -

Leeches are what we call Sucker Fish. They're ALL fish. All the bad kissers will be described as follows, for your entertainment. [i made these up in high school.

Jenn and I ONLY got pharmers the other night whilst out carousing. They were incredibly, stultifyingly vapid and uninteresting and, oh, VERY VERY YOUNG. correct. There WAS a Phrank, but he was not Minnow Tongue, no. This was not a Phrank. No names shall be given, please. sorry, again, no. ... -

Lisa, I live in the San Joaquin Valley - the most major agricultural area in the nation (read: BORING!) and I was shocked and delighted beyond belief when an Ethiopian restaurant opened here....the chef was thrilled to make gluten-free teff for me, and everything was absolutely to die for! I'll go there again, and soon. I am afraid, however, due to... -

Oh Julie, sorry to keep you on the edge of your seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, the LOL suit did arrive! It is a true raisin coloUr - chocolate brown, so NOT burgundy.

This is the most exotic thread I have ever read on this forum! Just wanted to tell you guys that. I am sure I won't even attempt this phyllo/voul-au-vent of which you two are speaking......but gosh, everything you describe - the foods, the locations, all of it - just sounds so.....delicious and exotic. Reminds me of a movie - a Vietnamese film, maybe... -

No, most decidedly, no. Most of us here see this...but unfortunately, most DOCTORS do not.........no money in it for them. And do not forget about MSG - one of the vilest of all the evils. I don't know about its use in the UK - but in America, it's everywhere, and it's one of the major causes of the morbid obesity we are seeing more and... -

:lol: oh, one can only hope. I just don't think so, though, she's really very food-driven.....other chores don't seem to interest her. AND, BTW, when she CLAIMS she's making snacks for BOTH of us, she manages to eat them all, every time, before I even KNOW what's been done in there. Julie! OMG, vertigo? had that once.....years... -

I can't make out what it is exactly......some ersatz dog-food flavoUred ghoul-ash. She ate all the wings, though.......now it's just the chips and this stuff she's trying to pass off as dip. -
p.s. Goddess - I"ve hijacked your thread! So sorry. I would just like to add.....I think the fight for mental health is exactly that - a FIGHT - - and one must use whatever is in one's arsenal to find his or her balance. My FIRST recommendation for anyone - I will shout it from the rooftops - is a gluten-free diet. Sadly, few will listen.

I went back on antidepressants last spring, when I took a deep and horrible plummet - - felt suicidal again. Back to therapeutic dose for a while, then tapering to low maintenance dose....I will take them the rest of my life, if I have to........you see, my brain is wired in such a way - since earliest childhood memory - to go from zero to suicide in a...

Hey, Rice Guy Wait - - don't get me wrong - - - I DO in fact endorse antidepressants for many people. I am still on a low dose - - I take Effexor every two to three days and STILL take Seroquel for sleep - - but instead of 500 mgs. I take 75 to 100 mgs. I will probably ALWAYS take something for sleep - - I can't even begin to tell you of my sleep...

Hi there, I'm wondering what brought you to this forum....are you possibly celiac? Or just gluten-intolerant? I was put on permanent disability for severe bipolar II depression.
