    I'm with you on that one! There really ought to be a law about the font size. I'm actually looking for a magnifying glass that will fit in my wallet with the credit cards for that very reason!

    When I have had hives, they were less spots than blotches... just kind of everywhere. I don't get them often but when I do, they sure do itch!!!! Heat makes them much worse by the way so if you have a flare up try to stay cool. I've decided to stay away from the Prevacid, at least until I see my doctor again & talk about the rebound issue.

    I'm all for National Health! I think it's barbaric not to have it actually. Isn't the US basically the only first world country without it? Insane. But that's a long wait! At least the endo comes first so you can find out about the Celiac & get started on the gluten-free diet sooner. Leah

    This might help-- it's from gfp's Gluten Free Paris site. Open Original Shared Link Leah

    Yoiks, that is a lot of nut butter! I'm not crazy about the french bread recipe so don't give up if that's all you've tried. French bread is THE hardest bread to fake since it's basically nothing but wheat, water & yeast. In my experience the best gluten-free breads have other flavors to compensate for the lack of wheat. I haven't even tried...

    Well that explains your flawless English! I can definitely relate to the difficulty of getting along in a foreign country, though I haven't had to deal with Celiac issues abroad (only diagnosed ~2 months ago). I'm sorry to say I've forgotten all my Danish; I lived in Copehagen when I was 9 & didn't get any practice since. I do like to think that...

    I know Bette Hagman has an English muffin recipe but I haven't tried it. My favorite bread is her 4-flour bread, the sesame seed variation is especially yummy. Do you have her bread book? It's great. Leah

    Yikes, I guess that's the price you pay for National Health... I had a 2 month wait & thought that was forever!

    Glad to hear you're almost rid of your symptoms! After 2 months I'm finally beginning to feel something is changing. Stress does make things worse, but in my experience getting up early actually helps my mood. The key is to get to bed early too so you don't build up a sleep deficit... but I think humans are meant to work in light hours & sleep in darkness...

    Oh, what a sad tale... my heart goes out to you. We lost all our trees in Hurricane Fran, & that was painful enough, but it would be even worse to see them go from sheer stupidity...
  11. queenofhearts
    Oh, man, I had mine both at once because to me the prep is way worse than the procedure! Plus that way there's only one anesthesia... you might want to consider rescheduling... up to you of course. Leah

    I trust you're not taling about Rice Krispies brand-- the gluten-free kind, I hope!? Leah

    Honestly, I don't even think saying Celiac would help that much. As to glue, I did have to give up the wheat paste I sometimes used in my artwork! (No, I wasn't eating it...)

    Here's hoping you & your perky villi will prove them wrong, wrong, wrong!! I'll be thinking of you. When's your endo? Have you thought of giving those villi a few altoids?
  15. queenofhearts
    It makes a lot of sense to me. I wasn't overweight but I still had that frantically-hungry-all-the-time feeling-- I was constantly fighting the urge to eat. It's fading slowly! After diagnosis, at first I actually gained weight-- I ate a ton of gluten-free baked goods, because I'm an avid cook & HAD to figure it all out right away. And I couldn't...
  16. queenofhearts
    Villi vibes are coming your way! Veni, vidi, vinci villi! What are your worries specifically? That they won't have healed? Sorry I'm not up on your case... you've had an endo before, right? Leah

    Lilla, it's very normal to be a bit emotional about this! I didn't think Tom's post sounded harsh, but you are right, it's a disadvantage of internet communication that we can only read the words, not see the speaker. That's why all the emoticons (smilies)-- but there aren't nearly enough to cover all facial expressions! And there's the tone of voice too...
  18. queenofhearts
    Lisa, I admire you for making the effort. Politics can be so frustrating. It takes a lot of guts & patience to stick with it. Leah Oh yes, it also takes a lot of ice cream!
  19. queenofhearts
    That's a good point, the anesthesia-- & those forms they make you sign are pretty scary! That sounds like just the right touch.

    Actually the webs do creep me out almost as much as the critters themselves. Nothing like striding out your front door only to be enveloped in sticky spiderweb.... UGH!
  21. queenofhearts
    Well.... MOST spiders don't bite... but I've encountered enough black widows in my time... (Many of them in TX, as a matter of fact!) There was a whole brood of 'em in my garden a few years ago & it scared the bejeezis out of me!
  22. queenofhearts
    What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! (I say this though I have phobias of my own. SPIDERS are mine. I can handle one at a time but if someone invited me to sit in a restaurant while swarms of spiders scittered by I'd be out of there like a shot!!!!)

    Poor Molly is probably running from the room shrieking about now!
  24. queenofhearts
    I wish they wouldn't plant quite so many pecan trees in my flowerbeds. Those roots go down to the core of the earth!
  25. queenofhearts
    No, he runs a restaurant! (A very un-gluten-free one, unfortunately...) but he has a natural talent for photos. His mom is really good at it too as is his brother. My son actually wants to be a pro-- his favorite course in college so far was photojournalism. My son had his first show at a local coffee shop this summer. It was so exciting!
