One thing I LOVVEEE that is back is the ability to see where a member is reading and stuff. We used to have a button on the main page allowing you to see what all the other members were doing (i.e. reading this topic, posting, looking at someone's profile, etc.) and then Scott had to take it away because there was some security problem with it. Now it's back under each profile...not the same thing, but similar. You can't see what the guests are reading, which is a shame cause I sometimes found old topics that were very interesting from them, but it's still cool to have a feature back

i never got a message

I know...3 hours later I got the same message--it says there's some error with the netscape server or something.

lol

I know...my jaw dropped when I came here, lol

except buckwheat

Contaminated.

I'm male, and sexy.

Hah!

Well, I think we can say that there are at most about 100 males on the board. There are nearly 5000 members (see main page). That means that there are about 4900 females--now, many don't post, so let's say that there are 2000 active female members and 100 active males...

So there are 50 females to every one male, but maybe 20 females to every male if you cut out those who "lurk."

Kaiti--you wish there were more... you mean males? Or females? lol

Yep, I'm definitely male.

lol, I'm somewhat male --just kidding.

I was short--around 5'2"...since Feb. I've grown about 5 inches and gone from a size 8 shoe to 10 1/2. My GI says it's catch up growth. I should be over six feet tall.

In the beginning (right at diagnosis) it's usually recommended to go back in 3 months, then wait 6 months, then if the bloodwork is normal, a year, if not, every three months until it is.

You should visit your GI annually and have bloodwork done to make sure you're 100% gluten-free.

Awesome, thanks!

Does the reaction to avenin refer to actual intestinal damage or just feeling sick? I thought I had read it was the former, but want to make sure.

Absolutely gluten-free--maybe they said that it wasn't since some people have non-celiac related gastrointestinal symptoms from the artificial sweetener used in it.

Celiachap -- that OJ is gluten-free.

I love Survivor ...my family and I always joke that I could go on that show since all they eat is rice and fish for 40 days...I know, I can't believe that they win a reward and go drink four beers and then compete the next day in a challenge--I would think they'd be drunk from so much after having none of it, sick from drinking so much, and further dehydrated--since alcohol does that to you. I wouldn't want to go on that show, anyway, but it's funny that we kinda could...as long as nobody got something gluteny as a reward and then cooked it in the same pan, lol. CROSS-CONTAMINATION!!!

At first I was thinking of a number of suggestions to ease it, but then realized that those are for accidental gluten ingestion--when you want the intestine to heal...not for when you're trying to damage it.

If it's Kraft or another company that clearly lists gluten, you know it's gluten-free unless it lists gluten as being in it (usually in parentheses).

If it's a regular brand, you need to call to ask the source of the modified food starch (wheat, corn, rice, etc.) or you can simplify it and ask if the product is gluten-free.

Bullets and babes, now that's HOT!

Haha

Wow, cool, thanks

I think the MellyQ92@netscape.com worked...no error message.

Those generic brands are questionable, but COKE is gluten-free (and diet, caffeine free, lime, etc.) and all carbonated products (i.e. sodas) made by PEPSI, Co. are gluten-free.

I had the entire internet slow yesterday, but it wasn't spyware. I have a number of programs I use to snare about everything. It was actually just a slow connection--and today it's back to normal.

Failure to thirve, depression, irritability are all common in children with celiac disease. The constant eating could be because she's not absorbing many nutrients (due to intestinal damage from celiac) so she has a greater and more constant appetite than the non-celiacs.

I'm really slow today, too...and no spyware or viruses here...I run two anti-virus scans about weekly and spyware checks about twice daily.... Just a slow connection time today, and I have a normally very fast wireless connection... not much you can do on those days--I'm having the same problem. Could the weather where you are be affecting it?

It's a personal decision--I've chosen to avoid altogether, but make sure, if you do eat them, to avoid Quaker and go with Country Choice or McCanns...
