Whatever was wrong with that counsellor for not bringing it up? How did they ever get their certificate? That is number one in counselling because money problems never out rank bowel movements. Blasphemy I tell you.

I'm not sure that Presbyterian ministers are allowed to say poop. I know that Baptists can't. :P (no hate mail from any Baptists in the audience please)

Sounds like Alan had a nice birthday--what did you all do to celebrate?

Patti,We just had some family over- nothing big. Everyone made an effort though by bringing a G.F (highly expensive) goodies too. :)

Nikki - I don't even think I"ve acknowledged the fact that your son is Celiac!! Wow! I don't know what to say here ....is it congratulations, or, I'm sorry? :huh: But the cake looks really good! Oh, and I am not sure about this either, but did something happen to your kitty?

Susan, I think it would be congrats for my son ! (mixed with a slight wistful feeling for all the 'normal' foods he will never have again <_< )

My kitty is holding on-but on borrowed time. The vet discovered he has a heart condition and is in heart failure....but he's comfortable and living out his twilight years in extreme luxury of fine bedding and food!!

Hope you have satisfied your 'what would happen?...' urges and normal sensibility has resumed :rolleyes::)

Nikki- Cake gorgeous! Send piece stat!

Bev,not sure said cake would travel too well as it tends to..um..disintigrate into a thousand pieces when touched by human hand :lol: (why does G.F cake and bread do that?)

My sister and I brawled also. One time she got her braces hooked on a the couch and couldn't get loose! :P I seem to remember getting in a heap of trouble for that :ph34r:

:lol::lol: Richard, that reminds me of a fight me and my brother got into where I lost a tooth.

My brother rammed my head onto the dining room table (it was wood) and as I lifted my head my tooth remained stuck in the table without it's owner!

Boy was he in trouble- and I milked it for all it was worth (it didn't actually hurt as the tooth was loose anyway, but I never told him that! :lol: )

:lol: So true Nikki

And yet we scarf it all up, so excited just to have bread, or cake, or rolls! It's the gluten-free mentality, we think, "who cares if it fall apart, crumbling into a million tiny pieces, as long as it tastes good....."

:lol:

Sorry to break up all the fun and hilarity, but I just came from a doctor's appointment and am supremely frustrated. I had surgery (to repair a hernia and torn muscle) 5 weeks ago and still am not anywhere near 100%. She told me I still have to be on lifting restriction (very hard, since I'm a PE teacher) and to take it easy. I have 4 kids, work 2-1/2 days a week, have a puppy to take care of and I usually go walking, running or bike riding almost every day. I'm SICK, SICK, SICK of taking it easy. I want to be better NOW! My older brother, who's overweight (way more than I am), doesn't ever exercise, and eats garbage had a similar surgery and was fine like 2 weeks later.

So, I went to Trader Joe's on the way home, saw "Dark chocolate covered cherries" and bought a carton. I don't usually eat much sugar, but I ate about a quarter of them without even looking at the ingredients. I still haven't looked - too late now anyway. It's probably just the sugar, but I have a whopper of a stomach ache and am now even more frustrated. And now I'll probably gain another pound because weight sticks to me when I just smell food and when I can't exercise I start to balloon.

Okay, thanks for letting me vent. Feel free to go on with fun and joking.

Liz, sorry you're down ... it sucks, and it's not fair. The whole thing. The celiac, and everything else you're dealing with. The stomach ache isn't fair either. Oh, man, I'd LOVE a piece of chocolate!!!!!!

Nikki,

That cake looks real good, glad it tasted good as well.

Hi to everyone else. I forget if I wanted to say anything about anything. One of THOSE days again with my daughter.

Not as much as you would think. Does look that way. Once Adam said something, I kicked him out of bed. Morgan was sleeping in the room below us and scolded me about it in the morning!!! :o:blink::ph34r: I told her it was nothing, I kicked him onto the floor, that was it!!! She thought it was a CYA statement ... she'll always think it was ...

Hernia's suck. Sorry you're still having to take it easy.

I think we should all take a minute in the happy-helmet.

That was a nice break from helping my daughter with math. She liked it, too. Thank goodness it was clean!!! See Andrea, doesn't really matter if you home school or not, you still spend a couple hours a day sitting and doing school work with the kids.

Serious question for you all.

Anybody know anything about bladder/kidney infections? :( I ask because Olivia, my 4 yo, ran a pretty good fever last night(gone this A.M.), wet herself on the way to the bathroom (he has been potty trained for a looong time) and she has been saying "my hips hurt" (and pointing to a spot about 1/2 way between armpits and hips on her side). She hasn't complained of any discomfort when urinating, and her pee looked ok (not cloudy or dark) this A.M., no itching or anything like that. We are going to the doctor's this A.M., but I was wondering if anybody insight or suggestions.

Thanks - the serious goofball :)

Well, in my experience, if was a UTI (urinary tract infection), it would really hurt/sting for her to pee. Where she point to in regards to the pain is important. Is it both sides? Front or back?

Are her bm's okay? If it was bladder, as I said, usually it would really sting to go pee. Kidneys usually hurt more along the back than the front.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
