    I chose for myself earlier this month to give away gluten-free cereal, 1st because of the expense and secondly because I felt it wasn't doing me any good as far as the battle for loosing weight goes. Thirdly, I am finding eating too many carbohydrates like cereal, pastas and bread seem too make me feel lethargic. So breakfast, it is either yoghurt and fruit...

    Congratulations. I always told my sons, that I did not want to be a grandmother before 40, obviously they have listened too well, as I am nearly 50 and no grandchildren! I am so envious of you, but I am so happy at the same time. My grandmother, who lived till she was ninety based her success in her later years on the amount of granchildren she had...

    Yes please, can someone explain the ratings. I've got five stars! Mango, I would've given you five stars. Cathy

    I have never really visualised it before, but it probably looks like what was once my favourite food, as in a cake or biscuit. Nice but with a deadly kick. Sweet but with a bite in its tail, as it feels like a hangover the next day. When I see pictures of wheat tips, it is those images that send chills down my spine, that is the enemy as I picture it, but...

    Warning: Sad Story

    Kaycee posted a blog entry in Kaycee's Blog

    Christmas for one reason or another is not always the most joyous time of the year as we expect and always hope for. Sometimes for one reason or another, it can be the worst time of our lives. I have had one of those awful Christmases, but I hate calling it awful, as there some wonderful and not so wonderful memories, but by calling Christmas 73 awful...

    [quote name='bluejeangirl' date='Dec 20 2006, 10:52 AM' post='247534' I could make gluten free desserts but I hate baking. I don't have the patients for it. Gail

    Congratulations, what wonderful news, and she looks lovely. Cathy

    I know food is not the be all and end all of Christmas, as it is more than that. It is families, it is unity, but when all these things are together, there is where you find the food, and a lot of it. Last Christmas, I told myself that that was the last Christmas where I would make a pig of myself as I was feeling quite ill, and was just getting my head...

    I am just being curious here and would like to know how naturopaths diagnose gluten sensitivity, intolerance or coeliac for their patients. I am not here to discuss the pros and cons of either way of diagnosing, but would like to know the alternative ways of being diagnosed as I have come across a couple of people who say have been diagnosed with gluten...

    I hope you get to see us all over here. It is beautiful here at the moment, our own Christmas tree the pohutakawa is flowering with brilliant red flowers, and they are a sight to see at the beaches in the north. When you come over be sure to call in and see us. Cathy

    I don't have any problems logging in, apart from the first day after the switch, where it took me a few minutes to work out I had to log in under my email address, and not username. I have been looking into a few people's profiles, and I was quite surprised to find out what sort of imformation is in there, as in the last person to have visited etc etc...

    eleep, that is exactly what I am in the process of doing, joining up with a local person and trying to form a support group in my home town, she has lived with the disease for about 30 years, and me just a mere 11 months. It will be a challenge and I am looking forward to it, putting faces to names. I think I will be here on the net a bit more, because...

    What a nit wit I am, somehow I duplicated this post. When will I ever learn? I will just slink back in embarassment. Cathy

    I am so totally addicted to the topic of gluten. Is this good or bad? I eat it, sleep on it, drink it, think it and even dream about it. You know as in dreaming about a spread of food and avoiding what I can't eat. (I wish I could dream about eating all the forbidden food) If I have to make a new years resolution, the top one would be to chill out...

    This place is awesome, I have had experiences elsewhere where I was belittled and made to feel I was making everything up. I felt I had to keep on defending myself. But here I can just say as much or as little as I want without getting the third degree. It is very therapeutic to just sit and type, it makes me feel better. The best part, as far...

    Hi, I have just read about a vanilla question, and put my two cents worth in, and it does make me want to ask about the colour caramel that has the food additive no 150 either with an a, b, c, or d after it. From what I gather 150a is plain caramel, see below, so I guess it is from sugar, but what are the others derived from? I have tried searching...
  18. Kaycee
    Ark, I seem to be fine with vanillas, but I do seem to react to caramel colour as in the additive no. 150C or 150D. Being in New Zealand it could mean the ingredients are different to anywhere else in the world. Just a thought Cathy

    From reading a lot of posts here, there is a chance of getting a false negative, but the chances of getting a false positive are less likely. So really your negative might not necessary rule out coeliac. Not everybody gets diahrea with coeliac, you could be constipated instead, and or like me be overweight. The disease has no guidelines it sticks with...

    Came home from work today, to find teenage son, looking into the pantry forlornly, maybe there was nothing he could find to eat, but it is a common place along with the fridge for teenage sons to hang out. Then I noticed on the bench he had been up to something, so I asked him what he had been doing. Mums always seem to know when something has happened...

    Hello, I am not sure of the answer to your question. I know for a long time the thought of me having coeliac didn't even enter my head, as I too thought eating bread was fine for me. I never even considered myself as being ill. You can have coeliac and not have any symptoms so to speak, but my symptoms built up over the years until I was diagnosed with...

    My hubby has been great, but I can't help thinking that he married me 18 months ago thinking I was fine, I was thinking I was fine too. But then I was diagnosed 10 months ago and now things have completely changed. But he has been wonderful. At times he does not think, but he is getting better, I will never imagine him being 100 % perfect, but that is what...

    I am a little concerned that most of the memories for this thread seem to be sad memories, but they all mean a lot to us personally. Is that all we have, sad memories? Some of mine granted are sad, but those same memories are beautiful. I was hoping for a bit of laughter and cheer, mixed in with maybe a sad poignant memory or too, but I guess I started...

    Adelle that is so sad how you learnt the truth about Santa. That sort of thing sticks in your mind forever. But having Santa held at gunpoint conjures up some interesting images. It reminds me of the time when I was about 7 and I still believed and my cousin, who was a year younger than me put me straight on the Santa business. I was so devastated, how...

    I am like the two previous answers and by going gluten free my periods did not change at all. They are still light and disappearing as I approach menopause. Cathy
