    There are a lot of members who do not participate any longer. It's hard to keep track of them. But I am proposing that one day a year all those who have in past and present been a member check in and say Hi and tell how you are doing. I am undecided as to what day of year it should be....not a holiday or a religious holiday....how about the first day...

    Product: Anything in pot on stove or in oven & one pot contains gluten-free food Source of contamination: using same spoon to stir all pots - gluten from other pots get put in the gluten-free food pot Solution: keep stirring spoon for the gluten-free food separate. mark spoon with dab of magic marker or nail polish to help keep it straight

    Aside from the celiac issue, flour is a food product and will attract bugs and rodents ... who thinks these ideas up?

    debmidge replied to Acersma's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think the the length of grieving or whether or not your "bout" with this grief is over or not is also dependent upon what other medical conditions you have as a result of the celiac ravaging your body. For example, if you were mis-diagnosed for years you may have a host of other conditions which has a greater impact on your every day living than just...

    I know this is a tough one, but what about gluten-free breakfast in restaurant in Lancaster? (other than at a B&. Sure, let me know names of those B&B's that can go gluten-free.... Thanks Debbie

    Amelia: my alkaline phosphate (spelling) was high too and liver AST and ALT were elevated for 3-4 weeks before and 3-4 weeks after surgery. It meant inflammation, pre-infection stage. I do not know if MRI is most visual of all tests. CAT did not pick up my gallstones at all nor did it tell doctor that my gallbladder was diseased. All I know...

    As well as many of you know I am not celiac, but my husband is....so I have to say that even without celiac I cannot digest spicy foods so even for non celiac guests, a Portuguese menu might not be the best choice. I learned this many years ago when we were invited to a wedding (pre celiac diagnosis for my husband). It was buffet: husband could...

    I had my gallbladder removed 8/16/07..... I have to interject here....my HIDA scan was showing that my gallbaldder was functioning, but the HIDA was useless in diagnosing my inflammed gallbladder disease. The gallbladder was going thru the motions but the gallbladder was on the track to becoming infected (serious like appendicitis). HIDA just shows...

    Ali After being the subject of a few threads like that myself, I rarely post anymore. Feel free to send me a private message if/when you need to vent. D.

    Had my gallbladder out 8 weeks ago and for 3 weeks before surgery and 3 weeks after surgery I couldn't eat at all I was so nauseas; perhaps if I did eat more I would have vomited. I had heartburn and indigestion, intestional pain with belching and rectum gas and felt as if I was dying. I lost about 17 lbs. I had gallstones but my particlar problem...

    Ok, here's the bad news: according to Avon Service Center Rep. Moisture Therapy with Oatmeal is gluten free --- logically this isn't possible so I am unsure if the Service Center's info can be trusted. I like the old way where you got the gluten-free product list....

    My mother in law @ 80 years old didn't understand the gluten free thing either... She thought if you cooked the food for a real, real long time and at a high temperature it would "kill" the gluten off.....oh but that's how she always cooked..... Once we were invited to my sister in law's place for dinner and she was buttering Italian bread & eating...

    Avon no longer provides a list of gluten free products What the consumer is to do is to call them at 800-445-2866 and ask about the item you want answers on. I called them about Skin So Soft Fragrance Free Body lotion (soft & pure) and Care Deeply with Cocoa Butter body lotion and they told me they are both gluten free It's obvious...

    I really have to comment on what a wonderful product this is. I add this to my gluten-free bread mix and it gives it such a good texture to the final product. I blend it in with the gluten-free Pantry mix; I use about 5 level tablespoons with not much extra water. It produces a dough very similar to what gluten bread dough would feel like; and...

    What products do you have a difficult time finding? I mean maybe you can get it, but it's the last one on the shelf, in the back of a health food store and the bag/box is dusty and you can't tell what the expiration date is and you'd rather not buy it but you're desperate......and the food stores and Whole Foods, etc. don't carry it any longer - and you...

    I couldn't help thinking of Noah all weekend. I have a long prayer list this month and Noah is certainly on it. Please keep us up to date on his condition.

    Great news she's Ok and now just getting normal baby things like new teeth!

    My Whole Foods eliminated the Gluten Free Pantry line altogether and replaced it with the 365 Brand. I would prefer not to change at this time as I am satisified with gluten-free Pantry and I don't want to make bread using a learning curve with a new mix. Love the convenience of the mixes and fact that I don't have storage space to store all separate...

    Runner It is entirely possible that you could have two digestive conditions going on: celiac and something else. This post is not to put the fear of God into you, but to annoy you enough to see your gastro as I never think it's a good idea to have a symptom and put off going to doctor as if you have something wrong it could take a wrong turn and you...
  22. debmidge
    Yes, especially because this is a change in color of stool.
  23. debmidge
    Are you seeing a gastro? You need to mention this to gastro. This could be a bile issue -- like a bile duct blockage.

    orthodontist will know if you have enough room to handle a wisdom tooth; oral surgeon will extract it. If the tooth breaks through the gum, it's not an impacted tooth. If oral surgeon feels that wisdom tooth will not come thru properly it's impacted tooth. Some people have enough room for that extra tooth; depends on the size of your gum/jaw. ...
