    some people who are sensitive to soy can eat a bit of soy lecithin, others can't. You have to figure out what your body will tolerate.

    Find what you can eat: chocolate ice cream chips things that remind that that there other foods to enjoy besides bread. Keep these things near you for pouty eating. Then look in the mirror and say "fine. I'm supposed to live. I'm supposed to eat healthy. fine. whatever. right after I finish this bag of M&Ms. Then, when you feel like you have...

    I go to work and deal with it as best I can. I write everything down as soon as I think of it because thoughts only stay in my head for a minute or so. I avoid anything that requires a lot of short term memory and try to do things like clean up my desk or clean out my email.

    I think it's about a block away in Westlake Center.

    A diagnosis may involve making your child incredibly sick for several weeks.....

    For me, it depends. If he's eaten gluten I usually figure an hour or so, and several drinks of something non-gluten is good enough for light kissing. If he's been drinking gluten, I'm even less concerned about it. For more involved kissing, I wouldn't care what he had for breakfast, for example, if he'd been gluten-free for the rest of the day. Otherwise...

    Well, however this plays out, and whatever decisions you make, we're here to support you.

    My sweetie gets no lip kisses after gluten, but he does get them all over the rest of his face. Now, if we're going out to dinner he'll kiss me (thoroughly :ph34r: ) in the car before we go in if he's planning on having a beer, or a gluteny dinner. It makes it kinda fun since we use the gluten excuse to play, rather than restrict.

    Dinner at the man's house tonight. Usually that means steak and potatoes. (and champagne)

    thick sliced taters (waxy kind) under pieces of chicken. Bake until chicken is done (leaving the skin on). Potatoes will be cooked and soaked in chicken fat (and whatever you flavored the chicken with). Remove chicken and put pan under broiler for a few minutes to brown the potatoes. Remove with slotted spoon or spatula so you are leaving behind most...

    I'd buy this, although I disagree with the doc's phrasing of "very high risk". You probably have 2 copies of one of the genes associated with celiac disease. More people with celiac disease have these genes, but having these genes does NOT mean you will necessarily get celiac disease. Just like having blue eyes puts you at a high risk for being Scandinavian...

    Sadly, this is the most likely outcome. You don't have a shortened lifespan, it just becomes more miserable.

    This is good to know.

    If a piece of bread is worth fibromyalgia, then go for it. The only one who truly cares about you is you, and if this is what you feel is best for you, then who are we to change your mind?

    It's a quality of life question. If you feel that being sick is a fair exchange for being able to grab some food product off a shelf, then you've made your choice. I prefer feeling well to letting food control me.

    aaaawwwwwww :wub:

    Sounds like a fun night! I've had hallucinations from benedryl (the name stuff) so I tend to avoid it.

    Most people are willing to put up with the inconvenience of moderation in order to keep the board free of spam.
