:blink: OMG, Rah-shyellle! Wow.. . ..good for you getting yourself into the incredible form in which you are now. Would never have guessed -- you look terrific. :)

Thanks :wub:

I think the hardest thing is looking in the mirror and still seeing the fat chick, even though it's been 10 years since I started the journey. I forced myself to wear a pair of leggings and a longer sweater today and I'm making myself 'own it' instead of worrying what my thighs look like :P

*snort*

I weigh 70# less than I did 5 years ago, and someone asked me how I felt about my change. It was a good enough friend that I could say "I still see the same person in the mirror". I'm working very hard at letting go of my perceptions and believing what my friends tell me. This whole 'dating' thing is actually a huge acting production, of me acting like I feel like I'm worth dating. Fortunately I took some time to peruse other people's profiles on that site and decided I'd have to be a whole lot more screwed up than I am in order to think of my self as unworthy. :P

And then, I can always kick their a$$, so I have that going for me. :D:rolleyes:

Heck yeah!! Kick their arses!!!!

My BFF told me I have body dysmorphic disorder. Maybe she's right, I don't know. Unfortunately I think it's easier to believe the negative stuff than the positive. Especially when that's most of what I've been hearing since I was 12 :( I have to force myself to look in the mirror and pick out some of the positives and not dwell on the negative. I'm retraining my brain!

Girlz!!!

You are of course mucho worthy - but old habits die hard I think. I like that Rae-schylle says 're- training your brain'

I think women (in general) get stuck in negative thoughts about their bodies dry.gif

.... on the other side of the coin is Tel (me hubby)

Having been a seriously 'skinny' un dx coeliac most of his life he now has trouble seeing a healthy size bloke in the mirror (with maybe a slight belly wink.gif)

GADS!! - he thinks he still wears 28'' waist trousers rolleyes.gif

NO chance!! laugh.gif

Is MANFLU® SOOTHING HOT OR SHOT DRINK™? safe to consume when pregnant?

No, seek medical advice. Men can’t get pregnant.

You guys have to check this out if you have a sec. This is my sister's amazing fiance. He a master puppet creator and this is a clip from one of his shows. He's been all over the world creating wondrous creatures for people like Steve Wynn to the final game/extravaganza for the last game at Yankee stadium to the Pope the last time he visited :mellow: I wish you could all see the other work that he's done, he's AMAZING!!! But this is funny! He's the one in the front in the greyish wig and bigger frog. It's also him singing. He sang the songs in multiple octaves and then remixed them all together!

He contracts out now and works on his own, but here's where he used to work--and alot of the projects you see, Dan worked on

Rah-shyellle, your BIL is quite an artist! What beautiful, imaginative work.. ....never a dull moment, I'm sure . . ...

Russel, the frog puppets are fab. When I was in high school and you were a wee baby or less, I took all the sewing classes available. I wanted to make costumes for Miss Piggy. When that didn't work out, I thought I would make my daughters lots of princess dresses. When that didn't work out, I did make a few Batman and cowboy costumes.

Patti, I made the gluten-free Pantry French bread yesterday. If you like white bread, it's good. I never was a big white bread fan. Cut some up and coated with olive oil and toasted in the oven. Dipped them in cheese fondue. Tasty. Great for day old toast. Made way too much for just me so I'm going to pulverize some for bread crumbs. I make a green bean & Swiss cheese dish that needs bread crumbs on the top.

Ooh--that cheese fondue sounds so good! :rolleyes:

The French bread makes really good croutons and breadcrumbs--and turkey dressing. I like that mix a lot--I started making it 5 years ago because I was also dairy free and it didn't contain any tapioca either which doesn't like me.

I actually liked the taste of the Sandwich Bread when I made it recently--it tasted more like homemade eggbread--denser than the French. It just rose so danged much.....I'll probably go back to the French since I can slice it thinner--I slice and freeze it when cool and then use as I need it from the freezer. Lasts me quite a while unless I make grilled sammies cause Mark eats it that way too.

      Delayed reaction

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RDB7918393! For some folks, gluten reactions are delayed but I would not think symptoms delayed  of a week or more out would be due to a gluten reaction. Twenty four hours or so but not 7-14 days. I would suspect something else is going on. Eating out is well-known to be the number one sabotaging activity of the gluten-free life style.

      Delayed reaction

      By RDB7918393 · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac about 10 months ago after having on and off morning stomach cramping and loose stool that only occurred like once a month. So I don’t get immediate reactions…more if build up reactions. I do my best to be gluten free but hard when on vacation and going to restaurants to fully trust cross contamination problems. I find that if I’m cross contaminated, I don’t get a reaction til about a week or two after. The reaction is stomach cramping morning only with flaky stool. Does anyone else have such a delayed reaction like a week or two after being glutened? Or should I go for more testing to see what’s going on.

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good morning, I saw that a lot of people were asking wether Polly-O products are gluten free. I just called them and all their cheeses are gluten free! Just wanted to let anyone know.    if you still want you can give them a call.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!
