ARCHIVED Tazorac Cream - Anyone Ever Use This?
queenofhearts replied to DingoGirl's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My friend Jane died last night, & I'm very sad, but so relieved that she did get to see & speak with her son, her daughter, & her granddaughter before she lost consciousness. So many of her friends came to express their love, I think she knew how much we will all miss her. Susan, great to hear from you but so sorry that you are still struggling... -
ARCHIVED Keeping Bread Fresh
queenofhearts replied to TinkerbellSwt's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
In my experience the rice flour breads go stale much faster than the ones I've made with sorghum, bean flour, teff, &c. They still lose quality but not with such lightning speed! -
ARCHIVED Dont Know How To Cook It
queenofhearts replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Very true... & the mixed greens with spinach, arugula &c. are even better-- but more expensive so I was guessing Lister was getting the watery stuff. At any rate, broccoli is a still more concentrated source of K. Broccoli: Open Original Shared Link Lettuce: Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Dont Know How To Cook It
queenofhearts replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Way to go Lister! Broccoli is one of the healthiest things you can eat! My all time favorite is steamed broccoli with Chinese-style peanut sauce, but that is pretty spicy so you should probably wait until your tummy heals a bit. I'd highly recommend broccoli soup for you. If you can tolerate onions, sautee some lightly, add broccoli & water or better... -

ARCHIVED More Efficient/easier Gardening
queenofhearts replied to utdan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hanging pots in a hot climate are under so much heat stress that tomatoes can go into vegetable "Safe Mode"-- no fruit! But I've grown them in large pots, wrapped in bubble wrap & set into even larger pots (for insulation) & so long as they are kept well watered, they produce. The smaller tomatoes do best, though-- I have had great luck with Juliet... -
Hm, I hadn't thought of it quite that way, but it makes perfect sense. Whatever it is, it's a nice surprise to be getting faster at my age! In some ways gluten-free (for a Celiac at least) is almost like a fountain of youth!

Sorry you're feeling so rotten. It does make it really tough, but many people have delayed reactions to gluten. That's one of the reasons to try new things one by one with only sure things in between, so you can pinpoint the culprits. It's hard, though! Hang in there, Leah

ARCHIVED More Efficient/easier Gardening
queenofhearts replied to utdan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
As far as I know, chickens are okay-- it's a classic homesteader's trick in fact-- but cats & dogs can carry diseases that are problematic for humans. It's the fecal matter that's risky, not the urine-- though that can burn a plant to death from excess nitrogen! Another pet-resistant trick that I've read, but haven't tried yet, is to sprinkle black... -
I have to admit, eating out gives me the willies... but I'm fairly new to this game & still not really sure when I'm being glutened, so I'm taking the why-chance-it approach for the moment. That said, I'm eating out tonight! I'm going to an authentic Japanese place & will have the simplest forms of sushi, with my own soy of course. So far that...

In my case it is the opposite! Actually I'm not a runner-- used to be but my knees won't allow it anymore. I was never super-fast but I did run 6 miles 3-4xweek religiously for years, & loved it for the physical & mental boost it gave me. Now I use the elliptical trainer, which is not the same but still gives me a little of the old runner...

ARCHIVED I'm Sure I Glutened Myself This Weekend
queenofhearts replied to mythreesuns's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Sorry you had a bad spell... I hope you can feel better on the diet, I'm betting you will. You know both D & arthritis are linked to gluten, so it sure couldn't hurt to try it. Really clean up all sources of cc, & stick with it for at least a few months, then you should have your answer. Leah -

Yes, if memory serves that's the screening test for mono. But check just in case I'm remembering wrong! -

ARCHIVED Wheat Germ Oil?
queenofhearts replied to katrinamaria's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
YES!!! BAD! Especially on your lips! Throw it out or give it away NOW! Sorry if this sounds extreme, but anything on your lips doesn't have to be absorbed through the skin-- it gets in when you eat, lick your lips, &c. You'll find another favorite. Don't make yourself sick. Leah -

Carla, I'm so sorry-- is it getting worse? Have you seen a doctor in case it's a bug? Cissie, thanks, that's a lovely quote.
