    YAY!!! What were they testing for, again? Oh, "Aye!!" "Oui" "Si" "ναι" For Julie as queen

    I tried it last night at a meeting and it was only slighly less nasty than new grist. Just me, but I'd rather just have cider and have it taste good! New Grist tasted like albuterol to me. YUCK!!!

    I have a really pretty tiara whoever turns out to be queen can borrow

    Mint can be pretty hard on a sensitive stomach. York peppermint patties are indeed gluten-free.

    Most, if not all, Aveda products have gluten

    Wierd, it was my allergy doc that told me that. It was funny actually, he sat there with this big botany book with me and looked up all of the things that made my mouth itch to see what families were what and what cross reacted. He said that coconuts weren't nuts, but fruits, and that almonds didn't make me react because they're actually in the peach family...

    I haven't tried Chebe for cinnamon rolls, but I love the red bag for pizza, and also the bag for breadsticks. THAT is definitely worth the $30 price! I'd order more, actually....

    Good news: coconuts are actually in the palm family, and don't cross-react with tree nuts. You can be allergic/intolerant to them, though. I had been following the whole water drama, but it's still kind of sad that we have to challenge with WATER Wonders never cease around here

    The iron saturation is a measure of how much transferrin you have, which is what carries the iron around and releases it into the blood stream. I would kill for a saturation of 52! Actually, he told you to stop taking iron because 52 is a bit high. My bloodwork shows the normal range to be between 20-50%. My iron saturation is a 4 What that means is...

    Well, this certainly is a sad state of affairs, isn't it

    That can't be good for the treadmill

    I think TiffJake was wanting to go (or at least convince me to go with her, lol). I'm debating whether or not to go, on some levels, I kind of think SCD is a bit nuts.

    I was hoping nobody would say fibromyalgia... it's in no way worse or better being on gluten, it's constant, I just thought of it today. The legs don't surprise me, because I have THE WORST vericose veins you will ever see on a 22 year old, and I've had them since I was 17. These aren't dinky spider veins, they're monster bulging, blue road maps. I even have...

    I emailed Reed's to inquire about their ginger beer, ginger candies, etc. I think I got a record response time of 5 minutes. Anyway, they hear the question a lot and have researched it extensively. All of their products are gluten-free. If you've never had their ginger beer, try it, it's excellent! Way more gingery than canada dry and they have a hot...

    I just checked - all I could find is that the rapid release gels are gluten-free in canada, not useful for those of us stateside, though All the recent Tylenol lists say that Rapid Release Gels haven't been tested yet, but they don't *expect* to find gluten in them, FWIW. Those lists are from late June.

    I like canada dry or reed's ginger beer, and I've never had a problem with either

    I LOVE IT!!! Now I just need to find it in the states. I'd have to remember not to take it on a plane though, how embarassing does THAT look on an airport scanner

    I am closing in on the finish line of my 3 month gluten challenge, meaning I have a month left . I was gluten-free 4 months and then decided I wanted a biopsy. Frankly, it sucks. I started out on the challenge with C, as opposed to the normal D, I gained 20 lbs in a month, I feel like I'm drunk all the time, can't focus, extremely tired, and back to D several...

    Actually, corn is the filler/binder for most pills. Second would probably be tapioca. Tylenol is definitely gluten-free, but I'm not sure about the rapid release. Advil and aleve are also gluten-free.

    I actually get called ma'am a lot. This is for a couple of reasons: 1) the South 2) the organization I work for They're kind of big on ma'am's and sirs. It's also wierd to be called Miss Chelsea. I lived in the north too long

    Off all topics, even the off-topic ones - I just got off the phone with our tech guy for our prospect managment software that's showing me how to use this labrynth of a system that's supposed to make my life easier. He's maybe 30, and works with all of the councils nationwide. Should I be offended he called me kiddo? C'mon guys, I know...

    I don't think it's the gluten challenge, I've had this going on for years, and being gluten-free did nothing for it. It may have been worse, actually. I'm thinking the weight won't be too hard to lose when I'm off gluten, especially if I start WW at the same time. Double whammy of eating retraining

    I just realized I made up a new word there - relevations. Kind of like revelations, only spelled wrong. Whoops I've been doing that a lot. Like, I'll intend to write "the dog chased the cat out of the house" and I'll end up writing "the dog chased the cat out of the credit card" Man, this brainfog is so deep that no amount of red bull will save...

    That sounds pretty close. I can't tolerate anything more than a gentle backrub. Even a light massage on my shoulders HURTS LIKE HELL!! Not just during it, which could be tight muscles, but for a good 2-3 minutes after the touching ceases.
