    ARCHIVED Yoga

    penguin replied to Green12's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I need to get back into yoga, I did it a while ago while I was planning my wedding. The dr told me that would help my stomach problems by releasing stress. I think I did hatha yoga and I loved that it left me feeling like a wet noodle. I didn't like that I had to sit in positions of eons though, I think I need one that moves a bit more... ...

    Explaining it to family and friends gets annoying, I can't imagine what a pain it would be to have to explain it to the world constantly. I don't blame her, but it would be good to get out some publicity. I don't think she's doing gluten-free for the heck of it, because if she were, I think she'd talk about it more. Like, "I keep all my weight off with...

    Really? You do sound offended. I in no way implied that it was a bad thing that she is adopting children. I'm all for it, my dad was adopted, my cousins are adopted. Yay for adoption, I'd like to adopt a child myself. There are children all over the world that need homes, and it doesn't matter to me where those homes are found, as long as they're good homes...

    I think they're real, too. My freakin' gorgeous college roomate has them also. I love her, but I hate that she's so gorgeous....

    I think you're talking about toaster bags, here's a link to some good ones: Open Original Shared Link

    The line alone is enough to keep me with o-s-c-a-r!

    Also, just a thought, Sour Patch Kids are kind of rough on the stomach, there's a lot of acid in them, aside from being a pretty stiff gummy. I love the things, but I gotta be careful! Blood sugar spike in your case, I'm sure.

    When I was at Starbucks today (not my usual one) I asked them to clean the blender before they made my frappucino, because the java chips have gluten. I said "I'm allergic to the java chips, please clean the blender". The teenager taking my order made me repeat three times, and didn't tell the person making it. I got the maker guy's attention and said that...

    East, between Texarkana and Dallas. And no, no supersize, because the chick was so DUMBFOUNDED that she lost her words, and apparently, her grammar.

    Unless he has any symptoms at all, he doesn't need to do the diet, even if he has the gene. It just means that he might get celiac "switched on" further down the line, and even then he might not. It's like having a gene that makes you more suceptible for rheumatiod arthritis (another autoimmune). You're fine as a bouncing child, but it gets switched on later...

    Systemic reactions to skin tests happen, I'm allergic to freakin' everything BUT food and I was sneezing and stuffed up.
  13. penguin
    You had an allergic reation, not a Celiac reaction. Celiac isn't an allergy. To have a Celiac reaction, the gluten actually has to make it to your intestines. Maybe you're just plain allergic to wheat, also.

    Because Angelina is too busy adopting Ethiopia.

    Clinique is under a huge umbrella of companies including MAC, Estee Lauder i think, and several others. They always list gluten ingredients, and while it won't always be clear, it will always be listed. The only ingredients on a list that were gluten and didn't say "wheat" or "oats" is when they used the scientific name. I believe trictum vulgare is the...

    My guess about vaccinations being triggers for autoimmune diseases is because diseases work by injecting dead viruses in the body so that antibodies are created and the body is tricked into thinking it's had the disease. Autoimmune diseases are usually triggered by a body trauma, like pregnancy, injury, and especially viruses. IMO, you're better off with...

    You might try using gelatin in some of the rice milk to make it thicker. That may work...

    Nope, they're all the same. Here's an article from medline plus (national institutes of health): Open Original Shared Link Look under alternative names, and you'll see all the synonyms.... Bleh, no wonder doctors are clueless

    They're the same. Celiac Disease, Celiac Sprue, Non-tropical Sprue, and Gluten enteropathy are all the same. The one that's not celiac is tropical sprue. It's very confusing.

    Tylenol and a hot bath are what I normally do to help ease the pain. Also, laying on his back propped up some may help, I find I hurt the least in that position. I hope he feels better soon

    OK, on the top right hand corner of the thread box, to the right of the title on the blue bar, there is an options tab. Click on that and go to "display modes" and click "switch to standard". It should go back to normal. I've had it randomly switch on me, too.

    Fingers crossed, Lynne! Hopefully this is the answer you've been searching for! We can hope! Goooooooooood luck!!!

    Lynne! Good to see you're on!!! Are you back yet, or just visiting? Is the computer still sick?

    In my case it was better than the $19 one because someone else bought it It was a wedding gift. Let's see...I use the processor for veggies and fruits for either lazy chopping or pureeing. I also use it to make the dressing for potato salad/cole slaw. Chopping nuts (almonds and peanuts only, allergic to others). It's also very useful for cutting butter...

    I'll be up front and say that lately, I haven't been a great employee, too much crap going on. He's been really understanding, though. My primary talent at the moment is flirting with our board members so that they're more compelled to donate to our great oranization. That and updating spreadsheets. Anyhoo, he told me earlier today that he had lunch...
