ARCHIVED Celiac Detection In Toddler
imsohungry replied to TCollier's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi there! Welcome to the forums! I wanted to let you know that you may get more responses in the parents forum. I have a toddler too, and I have had him tested. However, the results for small children can be very inaccurate. Good luck to you and your little one! -Julie -
Well, You have several options: 1. If you think you may need to explain your diet to curious and/or nosey people, you can simply say something like, "I'm on a specific diet recommended/Rx by my doctor." If they ask more questions, they are way too nosey. 2. You may find that with so many people at the party, people aren't paying much attention...

ARCHIVED The American Idol Thread...2008
imsohungry replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Well, I've got to admit that I voted in past seasons, but it was so tough to get the call through until I just never tried again. I'm too old to vote now anyway. All of those young, cute guys- I watch them as I slouch around the house in my sweatpants, t-shirt, no make-up, hair in a pony-tail...while cleaning up baby and cat crap. I'd... -
ARCHIVED The American Idol Thread...2008
imsohungry replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Janet- I totally agree about Kristy. But I was not a fan of Amanda either...mainly because I couldn't hear her voice over the band....which I know is her style of rock. It just didn't interest me. Oh well, until next week... -Julie -
ARCHIVED Faxing Social Security Papers
imsohungry posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey guys, I just wanted to share this...only our "community" adhering to the gluten-free lifestyle can appreciate what happened to me last night. I recently purchased a home fax machine and haven't used it much. After three tries, the document finally faxed. I got a call this morning...the needed pages had arrived to the business...with... -
ARCHIVED My New House Is The Size Of A Shoebox
imsohungry replied to imsohungry's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Nice idea! I have a spring-rod (for the kitchen window) from our first home. I'll have to see if it is wide enough for my son's door. Sheets!.... cool We have a chain store nearby that has very good deals on sheets...kind of makes me want to go tonight! But I won't (sigh)... the hubby and baby need me worse than the doors Hugs for the idea... -
My son turns two next month. I am so exhausted by the end of the day...I can definitely empathize with you! I have found several things that keep me sane: 1. I save "big cooking" for the weekend 2. During the week, I drag out the crock pot...BBQ, Progresso Mushroom-soup Roast, etc. 3. I keep fruit handy for the baby; he LOVES raisins...

ARCHIVED Woman Lives On Toilet - Ap News
imsohungry replied to Lisa's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Huh... I suppose it's really not that different than any other form of Agoraphobia other than her location. She chose the bathroom, others choose the living room, bedroom, kitchen, or simply the entire house. Think for example of the 5:00 news. We occasionally see stories of a person who lived for years never leaving his/her home. The home is often... -
You guys...good grief. I just checked Hotmail, and when I went to clean out my junk in-box, here is what I found: From OnStar: Your car wants to e-mail you. Is this a common thing? Does everyone get e-mail from their car? I didn't open the message...just in case my car wanted to cuss me out or something. My day is off to...

ARCHIVED My New House Is The Size Of A Shoebox
imsohungry replied to imsohungry's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You all have given such awesome tips! I added a mirror at the end of the hall...it looks great. We are planning to add chair railing along the length of the hall to draw the eyes forward (make it look longer). Our small coffee table works well; the top pulls up (on hinges) and becomes a table, and underneath is storage room. I just went out and... -
Hey deary, Well, it stinks to hear that you can't keep your head on straight. Are ya stressed, tired, or any of that stuff? I blame all my dizzy issues on air polution from irrisponsible big industries and cow farts. Did you know that Cow flatulance is having a negative effect on the ozone layer? (saw it on the Discovery Channel) So perhaps gluten...

Hey Stephanie, Regarding #3 on your list: 1. It's cheaper to buy gluten free main-stream products when possible (i.e. candy bars and candy and ice cream...of course read the labels). 2. There are some gluten-free sweet products by Kinnikinnick and other companies that are good (cookies, etc.), but they will cost more. 3. The best...

1. Unless you feel the need to have the "true medical standard," I would not bother. This "gold standard" can be inaccurate. I have had TWO gastro's tell me this. My bloodwork was positive My Aunt has damaged intestines/Celiac diagnosis My mother had colon cancer in her 40's My symptoms were classic Celiac And I responded "amazingly" well to...

HA! Me too That was a new one for me...

ARCHIVED I'm Frustrated And Hungry
imsohungry replied to imsohungry's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Collette, Thanks deary! Cara, You are really living my life right now...if you need to feel better, come step over all my papers! Hell, I slept in a bed full of Pop-tart crumbs the other night! My one year old was crying (he sleeps with the hubby and I). Anyway, when I went to bed, my son came with me...and had to have Pop-tarts... -
That was my first guess, but I'm from the south...so POS is a term passed down through generations. (long before text messaging) I didn't know others knew what it meant!

Thanks ladies! All that happened before I hit "refresh"...was, well, poor ol' smurfette was "smushed" kind of like a blue pancake. I didn't know if I was stuck with that as an icon. Big thanks. -Julie

Since I haven't seen either of those in context yet...what do POS and ED mean?
-
Well... Update: Nothing happened...what am I doing wrong? I've changed it before. It didn't give me the message about the image being to big or an error message. Totally confused. -Julie

Are you a counselor or therapist? Your idea is the same advice I have given some of my clients in the past. Interesting. I have my "big list" that I check off, but perhaps I need to break it down into even smaller increments to feel successful. Another tip: If worries and "to-do" thoughts are making it difficult to sleep, keep a pen and paper... -
Hey everyone, I gave-in this week and ate gluten...no big surprise that I now have "C" and fatigue. I feel totally overwhelmed. My cookbooks are still missing (from our move back in October). I've been printing recipes from on-line sites. My printer is giving me a fit...although, it's not officially "broken." I've been eating a lot of natural...

ARCHIVED Confessions Of A Cook
imsohungry replied to imsohungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hey everyone, I'll try to post later tonight. Just thought I'd share: I got the idea for this thread from a hollywood news special. The host said that the contestants are given a list of 75 questions to answer about themselves and the show does a background check on them. Anyway, I had a random thought it would be fun to do a cooking "questionairre... -
Thanks for the info...I've been craving banana bread!
