ARCHIVED I'm Going To Med School!
debmidge replied to heathen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Best Wishes for Success! How many years do you have to attend? What is cirriculum for each year? I have so many non gluten-free related questions about it! It's so exciting ! -
ARCHIVED Question For Avon Representatives
debmidge replied to debmidge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
From what i know, the cost of items and shipping are subjec to the 7% tax. 7% of $7.74 = at best .55 cents not $4.00 Tell her in a tactful way that your bill needs to be corrected and don't pay her the $11.74. Tell her the tax comes to .07cents on the dollar (if that's an easier way for her to process the information). As for me, I am still... -
ARCHIVED Dogs - Can They Have celiac disease?
debmidge posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have a co worker whose dog was diagnosed with damage in his small intestine and the owner was told the dog has IBS. I told her that it sounded like my husband's original diagnosis and we got to talking about celiac disease and she wants to try a gluten-free diet for her dog to see if it helps. I told her I'd ask around about gluten-free dog food... -
ARCHIVED When Girls Don't Put Out!
debmidge replied to Electra's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
This reminds me of the t-shirt I saw once which read TO ALL YOU VIRGINS ---- THANKS FOR NOTHING!!! That pretty much told it how it was with those men who wore the shirt. Then there's the t-shirts for girls: Good girls go to heave (photo of angel praying) BUT Bad girls get taken EVERYWHERE! (and face of joyous girl). -

ARCHIVED Celiac Cure.... A Possible Pill To Cure Celiac
debmidge replied to PizzaGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't think it's like a "Lactose" pill but more like a Singular which blocks immune response in asthmatics. It's likely that some celiacs would have a use for it: those who travel for work, those who have a mixed (celiac disease and non celiac disease) households; the ones who must attend weddings, etc. If someone has no use for an immune response... -
ARCHIVED Coping With Severe Gas
debmidge replied to arch8's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Try the suggestions in the other posts but the gas should lessen as time goes on. My husband had gas for many, many years while he was misdiagnosed and after going gluten-free strangely enough his flatulence became less but when he did have it, it had odor, something he never had while eating gluten. We could only come to conclusion that his body was... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Cure.... A Possible Pill To Cure Celiac
debmidge replied to PizzaGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Research for immune disorders is always going on. I've always felt that cancer is from viruses and looky here some cervical cancers they've just discovered are viral. I've always felt that research into AIDS/HIV, which is immune in nature, may not discover a cure right away, but would open doors to other breakthroughs for other immune disorders. ... -
OMG! So that's how my 27year old husband got celiac! He had long hair to his mid back for years, even when I met him and then he decided to cut his hair and Whammo! he came down with celiac AFTER he had long hair! What a revelation! So the moral is that he should have never cut his hair! Oh, I see now! Is this doctor a real gastro or...

ARCHIVED Celiac Cure.... A Possible Pill To Cure Celiac
debmidge replied to PizzaGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes I understand that and like the Singular, it is to be taken daily, perhaps before breakfast. -
You are the only one so far who is aware that they have celiac disease... My husband's sister appears to have celiac disease but thinks that as long as she doesn't get tested and proven positive for it, she doesn't have celiac disease, yet she has a lot of symptoms of it.

ARCHIVED Celiac Cure.... A Possible Pill To Cure Celiac
debmidge replied to PizzaGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just recently went on "Singular" for my asthma and this prescription blocks the body from making antibodies that would cause an asthma attack. I *think* that the Zonulin that Alba is working on will act the same way; that it'll block anti bodies reaction to gluten. I *do not* think that Alba will market it to celiacs by saying "Eat all the gluten you... -

Now that you mention it, last week I heard on Radio that Philip Morris will be selling the "Kraft" product line off.

ARCHIVED Benefiber
debmidge replied to Nic's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, that's the implication. We won't buy it now that it has wheat in it. Proceed at your own risk on this one. -
My celiac husband has it and he's unsure if it's a result of going misdiagnosed all those years or would he have eventually gotten RLS anyway. I don't think he'll ever know how or why it came on him but he does have other neurological issues related to celiac.

ARCHIVED Cheddar Or Yellow Cheese
debmidge replied to debmidge's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Wal Mart is on a highway here in NJ; the area behind the stores on the highway are upper middle income residential area and they have a lot of say-so about what gets built new on the highway. It is also a social issue as it's their way of keeping poor people out of driving thru their neighborhoods to get to the highway stores. Some of the enclaves have... -
ARCHIVED Another Idiot Doctor
debmidge replied to GlutenWrangler's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Brian we (my husband and I agree with you) -- he went thru 27 years of doctor to doctor to doctor to get no where. Finally a European/India educated doctor finally found the cause of his multiple illnesses but it is a little too late: the permanent damage has been done and his life is a shell of what it could have been if they only had diagnosed him years... -
Also scarey is here in US people who are born and raised here don't know about foods and contents of foods. They've been showing the food pyramid for decades so for US born & bred workers ignorance is no excuse. The food pyramid clearly shows grains in one picture with wheat shaft and corn cob.

ARCHIVED How To Teach Family Members About Gluton Intollerance?
debmidge replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi welcome. Couldn't come back on until dinnertime was finished. Yes, many are going to be glued to TV set and not here on forum. My husband has celiac and I enter the info after I ask him (he hates computers). Anyway he's been awful sick (me saying this)....and shunned by a lot of so-called friends and his family (to a point anyway). It hasn't... -

The "parts per million" is a guideline for manufacturers. It's not a suggestion for celiacs to adhere to. For example, Benefiber now has added "wheat" to their fiber product and this is unacceptable to us even though they claims to have so many small parts per million in their processing. In the first place, there was no reason to change the formula...
