  1. Now that's an idea! I'm Lutheran myself. I might get tired of baking every week though! Our church uses a type of pita bread [thick] cut into squares, and "wafers" are offered as well. So if I were to bake the pita, it would be contaminated by the wafers I guess??? and by the minister's hands....sigh. I'll just take my own up to the communion rail. Bummer...
  2. If I buy a double toaster [for hubby's wheat stuff].....will that work as long as the two sides are separate?? Is it considered "separate" if the two can be cleaned separately?? I found one that has two different plates at the bottom you can remove to clean. Is that good enough? or should I buy a completely separate toaster?? we live in an apartment...
  3. Well, our pastor gives the bread from a plate. His hands would be contaminated, so I don't see any other way than to take my own bread/cracker to the front and "give" it to myself. He could give the blessing, but for me, it's just not the same thing. Sigh. I guess I'll get over it. I know God doesn't mind in the least!
  4. I used to wake up all the time and then I would have to pee. Well, I later began having trouble with frequency during the day and was finally dxd with IC, Interstitial Cystitis. What I'm saying is that it COULD be the bladder waking you up. RLS is another possibility, that's for sure. I hope your dr can help!!
  5. Sheesh. I don't know. I would eat at the very best restaurants and take a translated copy of instructions for the chef. Happy traveling!
  6. Glad to hear the colonoscopy was OK. I just got my report back on the polyp they found....A-OK. But.....I thought they couldn't see villi with a colonoscopy????? I thought that was only by endoscopy?? If I'm wrong, then I feel pretty stupid, as I didn't tell my dr to check that closely.
  7. sounds like it COULD be vitamin deficiencies....but with your family history, I would check out Lyme disease as well. Many with Lyme were misdiagnosed with ALS or RA, among other misdiagnoses like FMS, CFS, etc. Sounds like Gluten is a big factor, however. Make sure your diet is CLEAN.
  8. I have a similar question. I often put sliced Kraft cheese on veggies for hubby. Does that contaminate the plastic dish?? Is Kraft sliced cheese safe? Haven't checked that one yet.
  9. I'm not Catholic, but our church celebrates the Eucharist [communion] twice a month. What in the world do you guys do?? I could bring my own bread, but I'd probably have to "give it" to myself!! Not the same!!!! Is most wine OK? There's a problem here because congregants donate the wine. I guess I could check with the people preparing the communion each...
  10. Would you believe our largest store doesn't carry Hormel, nor Jennio-O?? GRRR! I'll be in a larger city tomorrow and will look there. Maybe the other cold cuts are OK?? I'm not one to eat them much anyway.
  11. Thanks for the info. I always wondered as well.
  12. Good! I'll call. I also have some Healthy Choice, which is VERY low sugar....1 gram...but doesn't taste as good as the Peter Pan.
  13. I have the Peter Pan "no sugar added" Safe?? I'll call tomorrow....but was hoping for an answer from someone who might know. Thanks!!
  14. VERY helpful!!!! Thank you SOOOO much!!!! I frequent a Lyme disease board, where I do alot of searches. I just tried this there and it worked like a charm!!!!! The search function here is actually better than the one there, if you can believe that!!
  15. You can also supplement with nattokinase, lumbrokinase, bromelain, or Rutozym. Check for gluten as I'm newly dxd and haven't checked mine yet. I think they're OK.
  16. Wow!!! Thanks!! Now to transfer these to Word!
  17. I'm new too, so I don't know what you mean by IgA and IgG deficiencies. Could you explain?
  18. Thanks! I haven't heard of nor seen most of those. Hope I can find some of them. Thanks so much. Keep 'em coming!!
  19. WOW!! 55 pages worth!!! How many of you use palm pilots to carry with you to the store with gluten-free lists??
  20. I figured if you all gave me several of your favorite products, it would help me narrow down what to buy. It's expensive to pay $5 + for something that tastes like cardboard!! If it's fairly low in sugar, please indicate. I consider low as less than 5 grams per serving. I really have to watch the sugar. Thanks so much!!
  21. Thank YOU!!!!
  22. AWWW, I'm so sorry! I know that must be a difficult thing to face. Thank goodness you found out NOW and not when he's 55, like me! So, how many in the family have celiac?
  23. I was dxd with FMS 26 yrs ago. Found out in Aug 2000 that it was caused by Lyme disease. If there's any chance you FM and CFS'rs could have Lyme, you need to get tested through Igenex Labs in CA. It's just like in celiac disease........The right lab makes all the difference in the world. I am MUCH better with MUCH less pain after many years of treatment...
  24. "I can understand your fears under the circumstances but DO NOT take anything unless parasites are found by your DOCTOR." ============================== The tests miss way too many cases. Treating will not hurt anyone and will likely help. Just my opinion.
