  1. I think everyone else has given good advice on your diet, I just wanted to add that I can't wear nail polish. I feel like I am suffocating, more specifically as if my hands can't breath. That sounds funny I know but I've also heard that according to acupuncterists there are meridians that are blocked by using nail polish. Rachel, sorry you had such...
  2. While I think it is a good idea to stay open to possiblities it sounds to me like you have figured out the connection between your work and your illness. I worked in a bakery when I was young and think now it was the trigger that sent me over the edge. I didn't eat the treats, after a brief indulgence, but I breathed in the flour all day long and that...
  3. I also feel like I have been glutened when I eat the store bought gluten free treats and thanks for the top about the Mission Brand tortillas.

    ARCHIVED Depressed...

    Sorry you are having such a hard time, I can relate to struggling with this. I hate to bring it up but have you considered whether or not dairy might be giving you a problem. I know that after a month of being gluten free I realized that dairy was a problem for me - gas, bloating and constipation. I can't eat any of the gluten free treats as...
  5. I'm not awake yet, didn't mean to just quote you. I'm okay with trusting myself. As to the search feature, Doh!
  6. I wonder where I might find this "debate", as a newbie it is interesting to me. The slightest amount of grain alcohol causes me pain. I have read on gluten free sites that distilled alcohol is safe. One scotch was my first accidental glutening and for me confirmation that gluten was a huge problem for me. I can drink potato based vodka. There...
  7. I make ginger tea, several slices of fresh ginger sliced thinly simmered for about five minutes, also licorice tea, just plain dried licorice root, again several pieces simmered for about five minutes. The ginger is supposedly healing for the digestion and the licorice is soothing, like putting calamine lotion on a burn.
  8. Oz Girl, welcome, I have a history of digestion issues and for the past 15 years have been on the round side with C as the main problem. It was only this winter I got sick enough to melt and lost 35 pounds. I don't advise waiting to take up a gluten free diet because if gluten is the issue you will only get sicker and going on a gluten free diet now will...
  9. I wonder if any of these people doing the study have Celiac.
  10. Julie, I haven't got it figured out yet, I'm using my sweetie's computer. I've been thinking I need to be doing some other things in the daytime so it is o.k. and with the Rachelville subdivisions opening up I may spend a little time visiting them too.
  11. Hi everyone, glad to find that Rachelville continues joyfully. I am so impressed by how graciously these growing pains have been handled. My computer is still not working as far as this site goes. Is anyone else running Windows 2000? Yesterday I felt just horrible about it and my sweetie actually offered to leave his work computer for me but I said...
  12. Julie, thanks for all the scientificness.
  13. Grain alcohol is a problem, even very small quantities - less than 1/4 teaspoon, for me. I know they say it shouldn't be but it is. I'm sorry you got glutened, feeling that way myself.
  14. Cissie, I loved what you had to say about mirrors and aging. If the skin cream works... I've been more or less obsessed about my appearance throughout my life, I tend to be more relaxed when I don't care so much. When I care I focus on all my imperfections....many, many imperfections. My computer won't let me play on this site, I feel I have...
  15. Good morning everyone, I haven't been able to post on this thread for a couple of days, from my computer, and this is a test.
  16. I still can't log on, as soon as I do a box pops up that says internet explorer has encountered a problem and it shuts down. I clean up regularly but don't know how to find the thingy you mentioned Carla, where is it? Thanks.
  17. I was slim through my twenties but in my thirties gained about 35 pounds which melted away this winter when I finally got really sick. Now I am glad I had the weight to lose.
  18. Hi and welcome. I go for bananas and potatoes, also sweet potatoes if I am feeling glutened. As for the alcohol, I can't drink grain based alcohol. When I was first gluten free, only two and a half weeks and just starting to feel better, I had one ounce of Scotch and suffered for three days. I don't eat out much or eat processed food so I can...
  19. I find coffee very hard on my stomach but helpful for headaches and since I don't take any painkillers coffee is my preferred headache remedy. I'm glad to know that it seems to be helping you Cecile.
  20. Rachel, thank you for your post. I support everything you have to say and hope that we may continue with a renewed focus on scientificness. Muji is home after her adventure, apparently about 3:00 a.m. and just before the big rain started some folk arrived home to find her outside their house. She promptly sat down by the door very politely and waited...
  21. I'm not worried yet, (about the connection) after all my sweetie doesn't leave for work until Monday morning. I think if there are two of us it might be a site problem but it could also just be that Armetta's and my computer decided to take a break together. I'd just like to take a moment to apologize if I have done or said anything that has offended...
  22. Hi, I can't seem to get on with my computer either. Hi Armetta, when I tried to post to your thread to tell you I was having the same problem I couldn't do that either. This is my sweeties computer, if it stops working suspect aliens. I've tried re-booting and have DH working on it but if you don't hear much from me it could be just cause my sweetie...
  23. Karen, I was in Newfoundland last summer and loved it, it is wacky. That is great news about your mother and I think you are absolutely right about honey. Cecile, that is beautiful. Morning all. Woke up to find my dog has gone, my sweetie left the back door open and she has taken a walk. She is 12 and this has never happened before. At...
  24. Julie, seems like I just missed you. I have had the same experience with my diet. The best part of running the deli and juice bar was my regular customers. I love to feed people. Welcome Queen of Hearts, how do you come by your name? And must we send a posse out to find Cecile?
  25. Carla, I'm in Canada, Manitoba actually. I'm also only on page 372, that's what I get for taking a day away.
