    I'll remember that next time I'm in Conway...I'm sure it beats the Stoby's bathroom! Amen! My purse is two pockets short of a diaper bag, and I don't even have kids

    My natural haircolor is a bizarre combination of blonde, light brown, and red. This color was supposed to be strawberry blonde, but I erm, forgot to tell my hair lady how quickly and strongly red dye takes to my hair. My natural haircolor is all wrong for my complexion, so I help it out When I was little, it was bright red (like Vincent's son) and...

    Speaking of avatars... <------ Check THAT out!!!! I've been walking around like that since Saturday. Wasn't supposed to be that color...that's what I get for being too naturally red and trying to get my hair dyed a different color red. Back to the hair lady tomorrow I enjoy that...it keeps us up to date with Molly

    ARCHIVED Celiac Sprue & Doctor Too!

    penguin replied to RKB-MD's topic in Doctors

    You have fun with that. Even the COMPANY tells you to stay away from it, and it's not good enough for you. I'm assuming that in this scenario where the celiac has to choose between the taco or going hungry, Taco Bell no longer makes pintos and cheese or steak bowls with no jalepeno sauce? I agree with Jessica, you're free to knowingly ingest gluten, but...

    It's gluten-free.

    Wow! This fast reply thing is awesome! And the OMG thread...the thread so big it needed it's own section

    No way! I don't want that kind of punishment! Beer absolutely tears me up. Although at this point, how would I know the difference
  8. penguin
    Why, other than the sugar?

    Of course, always check the label, but last time I checked, Kraft Blue Cheese Dressing is gluten-free. Kraft will always disclose gluten clearly as wheat, barley, rye, or oats. They never hide gluten under things like "natural flavors".

    My mom has low sodium, resulting mostly in low blood pressure. She was hospitalized once and was made to drink tons of tomato juice and eat saltine crackers, etc. etc. She thinks everything tastes salty, even if it's not. I'd get tested again, low blood minerals are nothing to mess around with...

    Geeze, doctors. Just because you go to medical school and graduate doesn't mean that the medical world stops spinning and all facts remain static Bring him some of the latest research articles showing that celiac disease occurs in as many as 1 in 133 people...

    Yeah, I didn't have it checked out, may ask the dr next time I go in. That is why I did all that lupus research, because of the redness on my face and across my nose. I just determined that I'm a redhead and as such, I'm always blushing That Irish blood is causing me all kinds of problems

    IBS = I Be Stumped Syndrome usually means that you have symptoms that go into the same barrel as other people's symptoms that are similar, but they don't know why either of you have them.

    My mom had osteo in her knees (SEVERE) before she got her knees replaced (she's really young, only in her early 50's) and she says that she avoided wheat because it made her arthritis worse. As far as we know, she doesn't have celiac (though she hasn't been tested yet). Rheumatoid arthritis is the one associated with celiac because they're both autoimmune...

    All gluten all the time both sucks and blows I'm eating a disgusting amount of food in order to keep that reaction going all week! I didn't mean that the sun rashes are exclusive to lupus, I just remember from my previous lupus research that they can occur... just throwing some ideas out there I get these kind, but only...
  16. penguin
    DRIVE BY Aren't rashes that get worse in the sun a symptom of lupus?

    Try drinking a Red Bull, I find it helps with the brain fog after a glutening Yes, it's gluten-free. It's also chock-full of b-vitamins

    Are you sure you aren't allergic to the medication itself?
  20. penguin
    Yes

    Canola oil is gluten-free, it comes from rape seed, which is part of the mustard family. Sorry you aren't feeling well, chgomom!
  22. penguin
    Canola oil is actually quite healthy for you. It's one of the healthiest cooking oils out there. Certainly better for you than garden variety vegetable oil.

    Wheat didn't show up because celiac isn't an allergy. It's an autoimmune intolerance and stirs up different types of antibodies from allergies. She may be lactose intolerant because her villi are still damaged from the celiac, and lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) is produced on the tips of the villi. That would cause the gas and bloating after...

    They don't poop on takeoff I was standing below the swarm and turned out clean and dry at the end of it. The worst part was grass on my butt from sitting
