    I did see plenty of armadillos when I lived in Texas-- but heck, that's where they have their World Headquarters.

    That's where we honeymooned but the only wild animal I saw there was the one I'd just married!

    Hey, she had an alien baby!

    I completely agree. Here's the thread: Open Original Shared Link Wow, you even "Rachel" water!
  5. queenofhearts
    That's a good one! Just sent the list.

    There was just a thread on this! I'm a water advocate, myself, but there was some dispute...

    Hm, the tongue thing sounds a bit like an oral allergy. Do you by any chance have hay fever? They're often linked. Plant proteins that irritate the tissues... only when raw usually. Ursula knows a lot about them. Leah

    Chrissy, that's just awful! I hope she's okay. Leah
  9. queenofhearts
    Of course not! You have bats!

    I thought I'd responded to all but I'll double check! Weird, Chrissy, it's not there... unless you used another name or something?

    Do the glittery purple bats serve to keep the glittery purple mosquito population down? I'm all for that!

    I'm curious about the sublingual B-12-- is this an otc thing or do you need a prescription? I don't remember seeing it on the vitamin shelf but I may be looking in the wrong place. Is it a pill? Drops? I have a feeling I may be deficient, but not getting much of a change from the pills I take. Leah Was it you who recommended magnesium a...

    About the gluten challenge, I sympathize with the spirit of scientific inquiry, but it sounds kind of scary to me. Then again I've been diagnosed by biopsy so I feel like I already know the answer. About the soy sauce, have you tried fish sauce? No, it doesn't taste the same, but you can sub it in recipes for a hit of Asian saltiness... if you haven...

    Hope you enjoy it! Remember to fry-- right out of the tube it would taste pretty gross. But it's good with just salt & pepper if you can't do garlic or other yummies... Leah

    Great thread, I missed this the when it first came up, but it's definitely one of the worst symptoms for me, along with fatigue. Both are s-l-o-w-l-y abating, & it's so great, because for years I thought it was just going to go downhill from here on out & I could see myself in a rocking chair with dementia in a few years. I could still concentrate...

    We all need some lunacy in our lives!

    Oh Lawzy now my head is truly spinning. Or spinaching...? Here I thought this thread was about meds of some sort! Who knew? Leah

    On the subject of corny scientificness, 1. Polenta!!!!! I love it but then I'm a grits lover & they're close cousins. I like it best after it's been chilled & then fried in olive oil & garlic. It's scrumptious with tomato sauce, for those who can eat that... or ratatouille. 2. Corn eating bread questers-- I've been thinking about coming...

    Whoa! Spent the day taking care of my grandmama, & came home to a whole new Rachelville! What a good solution-- Dr. Jeckyll can post there, & Mr. Hyde here! Be seeing you in both spots I hope-- Leah

    I hear you! Gluten free baking is like alchemy, there are so many weird ingredients. You're probably right to stick with simple foods until you get things figured out. About the lime in your tortillas-- are you sure it is the fruit? It might actually be the mineral kind. That is what is used to treat corn for hominy & grits. It's related to the...

    My hunch is that you have been ingesting enough gluten already that you are likely to show damage after a shorter gluten challenge-- in fact you might even have damage now. The blood test might be indicating that you still do have exposure. And there are hidden glutens besides processed foods-- cross contamination, cosmetics, vitamins-- that a lot of doctors...

    Sorry to hear about the family situation, that can't help. But I'm glad your cysts are the benign kind. And yes, have patience, because it does take time to heal, & you had some pretty severe symptoms. If you are showing improvement, it means you're on the right track. Leah

    Nini has a great kit for newbies to help you figure out what you can & can't eat. You can get it from her website, Open Original Shared Link There are so many forms of Celiac & gluten intolerance. There are some who only have neurological issues, some with skin conditions... it is truly a challenge to diagnose. The best way to find out if you...

    It was my understanding that often Vitamin E is actually derived from soy, so a product could have it & still be gluten-free-- but maybe soy is also a problem? Leah

    Have you tried corn flour or corn meal, & if so do they bother you? (If you can eat corn tortillas it sounds like they might work-- authentic ones are made of masa, which is corn flour.) I've been contemplating trying to come up with a sandwich bread made with corn flour-- I love cornbread but it's a bit crumbly for sandwiches. Can you do xanthan...
