  1. Picard is brave enough to join this fray...are you gonna stay Vincent? This is an all encompassing thread, where you will get bunches and bunches of support for whatever you may be going through or feeling ...plus lots of gabbibg to boot . Who could ask for more?
  2. The slide show is good, thank you Cheryl. Out of my family thats been tested (no symptoms), my husband and I came back soy intolerant and my daughter, oldest son and I came back gluten intolerant. My youngest son has not been tested yet. I am also pro enterolab and like them for the fact that you can get results before you get really sick and have all...
  3. Nicole, I had 4 people tested in my family with no symptoms except my allergy test results. 3 of us came back positive for gluten intolerance. I feel it was a good decision for our family especially since we didn't have any obvious symptoms and would have eventually progressed to being very sick. I like enterolab for the very reason that you can catch...
  4. I know it is a difficult undertaking at first. Especially with the doctors. I'm homeschooling so I don't need to worry about school. I sent the enterolab results to my doctor...haven't heard what she thinks of them. I would get your son's possible DH biopsied for sure. If you let people know the area you are in/or near maybe someone on the board can...
  5. I went shopping yesterday and a whole bag of kettle potato chips was my lunch. Welcome Picard. Will we see you back. I feel sorry for you and your Dad. There were only two in my family me and my brother. My husband has 5 boys from a previous marriage and two boys from our marriage (also have a daughter). I was quite outnumbered before...
  6. Thanks for the update Tanya. Hope you and Megan have a good nights rest.
  7. Rachel, Just tell Scott you need this thread passcoded and anyone new that wants to read can email you...that may not work though, you probably wouldn't know it was him. It's great that he want to learn more though. Uuummmm, how do you know no one you know is on his site? I'm with ya Chelsea. I decided I'd better pay...
  8. Sure, I'll be your designated typer....just pm me what you want me to say.
  9. Be sure to keep up with us. Have a great time in Australia. May I ask why you are going? Didn't you say for five months. I don't like wine either and I vote no. BTW, I don't drink at all so I'll always so no. I was always the designated driver in college.
  10. Uumm, sorry Mango. At least we take it easy on the weekends so if you must get some work done you can catch up then. Is it good you only have a week left or no?
  11. You and Rachel can keep each other company. I use my debit card for almost everything. The only time I use a check is the day before payday if we are running low on funds. Ssshhh, don't tell anyone. Oh yeah, can't forget the bills I can't pay online, gotta write checks for those.
  12. I love the idea of a google search. Donna and Rachel, I'm still in the stone ages too...and I only have one line so nobody can call me. Mostly pesky telemarketers anyway. My mom knows to email me if she can't get through.
  13. A dedicated line is one just for the computer...I don't know if my mom has dsl or cable but I think she has just the one line. I'll have to ask. Floridian, Yea on the weight gain. That would be nice Mango...but then we'd have to jump back and forth within the thread.
  14. Rachel, I know I don't need to ask you to post tomorrow...but please post after you appointment. We are all waiting to see what this doctor says.
  15. I agree. I love this thread and all the "old" and "new" people that pop in. I still call it Rachel's thread though so the slumber party must be at her house. I hope you have air conditioning Rachel...I don't like the heat like you do. It started out with dairy...but has now become a pajama party because we all like to gab and this is...
  16. Thanks for the update Vincent. All that she goes through and still such a happy girl...a testament to God's grace working in her. Tanya...get some rest. Somehow I doubt you slept much at the hospital.
  17. We haven't been eating beans...we are allergic to some. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. If only she would drink more water...just one more thing to work on.
  18. I'm not super fond of millet. I've had it in some things that were good and some things that weren't. I'll need to scrounge around online for more recipes. I have lots of cookbooks but I don't remember millet being used that much in them. Sweet potato oven fries...my hubby would love those! What do you season them with. I typically use onion...
  19. I think Vincent posted that he came on here once in a while to offer input but it just got too diverse for him.
  20. Your daughters numbers are similar to my daughters. She was 14, 8, 45 and 7 respectively. From everything I understand she has an active gluten intolerance which means gluten free for life. On the positive side, it was caught before damage was done. She has the one celiac gene (subtype 2) which predisposes to celiac. You don't need any other testing...
  21. Happy Birthday Julie!!! Here's to a year filled with more health and well being. I posted about this thread on Lynne's thread and someone (I forget who, maybe ChelsE) posted that this was like a bunch of girlfriends at a slumber party. I thought it was a good analogy.
  22. Thanks Katherine, Yes, I am stuck in a rice rute. I've just come of the vegan diet in the last two-three months and am still trying to figure out what to have. I think she's ok with corn. I'll buy some corn elbows to make vegan mac & cheese. The kids love mac & cheese and haven't been too picky about what noodles the sauce is...
  23. Thank you Cheryl for posting that. Very informative. I'm am happy to learn that they will be expanding to do allergy testing.
  24. It's great to see an article like that in one of the mainline newspapers.
  25. She doesn't eat much of anything. Hot rice cereal at time, muffins (Annalise Roberts), rice pasta, panda treats (rice), doesn't like any milk except soy which we don't drink anymore, fruit, brocolli, corn, few bites of chicken, taco seasoned beef, chicken link sausage, beef hotdogs (applegate brand), rice cakes, sometimes rice bread, little salad greens...
