We ended up getting our own micro wave oven and our own fridge. I don' think I would have managed without them. I also got my own pans and stuff that I keep upstairs where we live.

I have talked to my husband about us eating together and we did some of the days during the week.

Today was my birthday and my MIL actually took out her best china and washed it especially for me and us all. My husband made dinner and I ate the exact same thing as them for the first time since last spring. It meant a lot to me.

Yeah, it is very, very hard living this way. We hope to be able to move out this summer. My husband is getting raises in May that we need to be able to afford it.

I have had canker sores really bad from time to time. I can get several at a time and some times I got really big ones. I remember one summer (just after I had Mononukleosis) I had one big one almost a whole summer.

Now towards the end, well probably the last year, I had them as soon as I used sulphate containing tooth past. I stopped with gluten and made sure I got a gluten free tooth past and it hasn't been bad at all.

I read about Lupus being connected to Celiac in the Dangerous Grains book also.

This is what two of the sites say about them...

"They are very good with small children and even babies. There have been reports of Klee Kai watching the baby in the house then going out to get the parent when the baby cried. There have been reports of the Alaskan Klee Kai who lived when they should have been dead."

"Despite his small size, the Klee Kai is an excellent watchdog due to his loyalty and affection for his family members and his reservation toward strangers and unfamiliar situations."

Man if they weren't so darn rare and soooooooooo darn expensive, I'd be getting one right now

Sounds good. Yeah, I was loking at Shilo German Shepherds before we got our dog and some places want $2000 for one. I am not paying that much for a dog. We paid $80 for our mutt and she is wounderful.

I absolutely love husky's and german shephards but they are too big for my house lol!! So I was looking up miniature husky and miniature shephard just to see what came up and I SOOOOOOOO want one of these dogs. Anyone ever heard of them before?

It figures the one dog I'd absolutely LOVE would be super RARE lol!!

Oh, that looks pretty. I love dogs. Mine is a lab/german shepherd mix. I wanna get another one as soon as week can move.

I am thinking German Shepherd, but I might just go for another mutt.

I have never heard of that dog breed before. What did it say about temperament?

I LOVE Harry Potter. My husband an I read all the books out load. We take turns. It is a lot of fun. Then we talk about what happend and try figuring out why. Hehe

So 2 people will die in the book. Sometimes I wonder if Dumbledore actually is n't dead and will come back in this last one..and maybe he will really die in it along with Voldemort. But who knows..

for years before i had babies I had 14 day long periods. No one ever did figure out what the problem was. i had PMS from hell. I also thought that I had light periods but I did have clots, mind you small but apparently if you have any clotting you have a heavy period. My body was certainly telling me a thing or two and I didn't understand one word. Ithink a lot of it back then had to do my my emotions as well. they were always in high gear. i wanted to be married to my boyfriend. got that. then I wanted babies NOW!!!! twenty years later I can see I was a kid with anxiety and didn't know it. I just couldn't understand how stressed out I was and how I handled all my emotions contributed to my problems. Yeast infections were chronic. I didn't go Gluten free until four years ago and slowly I have learned about anxiety and how my body handles it. I was having full blown Panic attacks on a daily basis by this time four and five years ago. My body wasn't going to stop until i paid attention to it and my emotions. going gluten free was a start but getting my mind and body to relax was crucial. I had The Lord to help me through this but people do all sorts of things to calm themselves down. Being sick is such a cycle of fear and anxiety it is sometimes hard to know how deep you are in it. this is just my experience and thought I would share in case it rang any bells for. My body and mind are finally calm but any stress can stir up physical symptoms. My body is definitley my barometer of my emotional and physical state.

by the way the fertility book that everyone is talking about is awesome and really gives you a sennse of what your body is doing. this is empowering in itself. i highly recommend it. Unfortunelty you will probably have to find out your own answers with a lot of research, advice from these boards which is invaluable and experiementation. Not alot of answers usually come from the doctors and it is best to go in loaded with questions and information of your own. Just my opinion but everything that was ever wrong with I figured out first.

Your post does ring a bell. Thanks for posting. I do have clots too, but they are always small so I thought my period was lighter. Interesting. I am starting to wonder if it could be endometriosis...

I am gonna pick up that book. I think I am not counting my period cykle the right way.

Alsp my life has been VERY HARD with a lot of stress, especially the last 2 years. I feel I am not myself right now. I worry as soon as I wake up in the morning. Sleep bad.

Thank you everyone!

Thank you everyone. Yes, it felt good to get it off my chest. I do not count in my husband to "the family". He is good to me and I know he is on my side. He has tried talking to the others some, but it doesn't do anything. It's like they just don't get it or mostly have no interest it seems. He has 3 siblings and they are all pretty stuck with "what I say is right" (especially the sister).

We so want to move out. We are waiting for my husbands next raise in May. We need it to be able to afford a place. We know it will be tiny, but it doesn't matter. It is just so hard to wait.

It has always been a little hard to live in the house, with the gluten intolerance it has turned into a complete night mare. Part of me hates them by now. I plan to stay away after we have moved out and lets just say my husband is very dissapointed in them. Very.

I have noticed that my husband and his 3 siblings are a little affraid of talking to their parents. They keep things away from them. They are always the last to find out new things in their lives. At least with my husband and his 2 brothers it is that way. I think it is super hard for my husband to talk to them. And the fact that they are very set in their ways (I mean you wouldn't believe it if I told you what his mother does sometimes). My husband also gets bad stuff happening to him because of his mother.

I know we need to get out. We should have long time ago. Life hasn't let us.

It is a good idea to have my husband eat with me. I am gonna try to make that happen. I agree that it is bad that he doesn't eat with me. Things just kinda turned into what is going on now. I do feel abused. I feel they are breaking me down. I am strong, so they will never break me, but it is a night mare. They are stupid people.

I love my husband more than anything else and he is good to me. I wish he would stand up more to his parents though, but looking at how this family works, well I can see how it is hard. It seems even if he has sometimes they just keep on in their old ways. This family is very afraid of conflicts and they do not talk to each other about much personal stuff at all.

My husband knows how I feel. I can talk to him about everything so he knows. I guess he should, like you guys said, stand up more to his parents. I know that this all has made him step away from his family some. He does not take part of things in it like he used to. And I know he is depressed like me, just not struggeling with a disease on top of things.

I hate just having to endure, wait, "take it".. Some days it is soooo hard. yesterday it was one of those days. They had a food part again and I felt left out more than ever.

I often ask my husband (not expecting a reply) how things ended up this way. How did things get so bad. We see others live their lives and have some bad luck and hardship, but not in a long row like us. It is weird.

It can always be worse of course. We have no deadly diseases or starv.

Thanks for listening.

do you rinse the rice and quinoa before cooking them? quinoa absolutely needs to be *well* rinsed, and the rice may have corn(?) used in the enrichment process. it could be that those grains are bothering you, but the fact that you can eat rice (in volume) in some forms but not others leads me to suspect that, in the case of rice, it's something else. (the pan? the serving? the water? the enriching? the brand? the species?)

No I have never rinsed the Quinoa. I am gonna do that next time.

Anyways.. I tried a short grained brown rice from Lundbergs and it seems like it worked ok with me. We'll see.

I love Bananas too. I probably eat 4-5 a day. I am allergic to so many other fruits so Banana has pretty much taken their place.

I had heard about it but knew almost nothing. You know the common thing " Can't eat bread". I had no idea how complec this is and how common it is to have other intolerances too.

I saw that page once before. Didn't save it though, but I will now. Thanks for posting.

I started reading about it online and some companies even put food coloring on fresh Salmon. Yeah, very nasty.

I am sticking with Halibut for now. This summer we are gonna catch our own Salmon instead. Put a bunch in the freezer.

Yep... Enjoy Life!!

enjoylifefoods.com - no gluten, EVER. =)

I LOVE their stuff! If it wasn't for the Very Berry Bars I wouldn't have survived. I eat TONS of those.

I am so depressed. I feel I have struggled with disease for so long, along with a bad childhood. I am going to a counselor and it is great, but now we have money issues so I have to wait a while.

I have moved across the world to live in my husbands country. We live with his family because of financial difficulties, a lot of bad luck and me being sick. We have lived with them for three years now. I hate it. He doesn't like it much either.

His family has like no understanding at all of this Celiac thing. They think I should just pull myself together. I don

Ugh, I had a 11 day long period this last month. 3 days of them with regular flow and the others light. 3 days after it stopped I am spotting again. This time more. Been for 2 days now. I have to say I am pretty scared.

I am gonna call for an appointment tomorrow. I really hope it isn't something serious. I am so tired of being sick or having something wrong with me. I feel so depressed.

I did a search on food coloring and it seems there are both good and bad food colorings. I am not sure what type this was because the company did not put it on the ingredient label. I am gonna write them and ask.

But I am pretty sure there was food coloring in it because when I touched the frozen fish my hands turned all orange. I had never seen that before and actually had no idea that they could put food coloring in it. So I ate it and got really sick.

So now I am wondering if anyone knows anything about what type they typically use in Salmon? I was looking at other packages in the store yesterday and they had it labled, so that is how I figured it out. It didn

I think I figured out what made me sick. The Salmon had food coloring on it. I noticed another frozen salmon package had that listed and my hands turned all orange as I touched the Salmon I ate.

I think I saw someone saying food coloring can have gluten in it???

Thanks for posting that. I have had lots of neurological symptoms. Bad memory, confused, brain fog, depression, anxiety. I felt like Beeker in the Muppet Show. Still do sometimes.

Nice to get a 100% answer like that. Know what it is for sure.

Kinnickinnick bread makes me so sick. I ate some last week and had an instantaneous reaction. My whole body got really itchy and I had stomach pains then my lips got really itchy and I was bloated and my throat got tight. I don't think it's a cc issue with them. I think their products contain too many scary sounding artificial ingreidients. It's not really food It's a bummer too because their products taste really good

I have been eating two of their breads for a couple of weeks. The rest had pea protein in them and I can't have any Legumes. I seem to get some heart burn from especially the Flaz Seed one but I have never felt anything close to this. I have no idea if it was the bread or not. I am almost guessing it isn't since I have been eating it regularly for a while and not gotten this way until now. But who knows. Maybe the last litle end of this bread had more of something cross contaminated..

I wanna say it is the fish. My hands turned orange as I took it out of the package. Salmon is orange, but I have never seen fish do that. Maybe they put something on it without saying they do...I dunno.

The raisins are pretty new for me too, but I never reacted this way when I tried them a couple of days ago.

I think I'll never find out for sure though.

I can't remember the brand of the fish now. Brain fog is making it rteally hard to think. I was chatting with a friend online yesterday and it was hard to remember how to spell things. Freaky. That seems a little better today.

I am gonna ask my husband about the brand and post it here. Maybe someone knows something or at least can get a warning to be careful with this brand. If itv was the fish.. Just seems like it.

About bread: To be really truthful I do not seem to be doing all that great on any grains or bread. I can have a little bit o0f brown Rice and feel fine on it but if I try other grains or eat more than a cup (if even that) my stomach gets gasy and a little unhappy, but I don't get the gluten reaction or anything.

The raisins were some kind of organic type. Just said sun dried raisins on them with nothing else. The fish is supposed to be the same. I have had that brand before but not Salmon. Then I have been eating same stuff as I always do...I have no idea. I was nauseau really bad during the night and my stomach and body is really unhappy today. I feel beat, like I usually do from gluten. It is a mystery.

I hate when it is a mystery. When you can't really pinpoint why.

Well, I am not gonna eat the raisins and that Salmon again. Not the Kinnickinniks bread either. Not the Flax Seed one anyways. I have noticed that I do not do well on white rice, brown is better. The Robin bread doesn't have it I believe and I seem to do better on it.

Ugh, hate feeling this crappy. I have started to feel much better so it almost hits you harder now when you know what it feels like to have a happier stomach and more energy.

I think I always get a little inflammed in my stomach when ever this happens. I take Caraphate (I think that is the spelling) and it seems to always help me back on track faster.

Haha! Great that he decided to try it even if being skeptical. I am trying to get my mom to try it, but she wont.

Out of curiosity; how tall is considered short stature? Anyone know?

Glad to hear it!!!!! :D

Ugh, I feel so crappy. Diarrea, nausea, stomach hurts a bit, irregular heart beat sometimes, foggy thinking and super tired. The only new thing I have had is frozen salmon and raisins. I had some yesterday of the fish for the first time. It gotta be it and then I had some more today and I feel so bad.

I wonder how frozen fish could make one feel glutened?? It said it had only fish in it, nothing else.

Anyone else had this experience?

I did have Kinnickinniks Flax Seed bread too today. It has made me feel a bit off sometimes too. I decided not to get more and had the last piece today. It seemed to taste a little different. They do use Legumes in their stuff but not in this bread... I dunno. I have never felt this crappy at all from it.

I got an answer from EnteroLab. They do not recommend shots for food allergies when the proteins in the food breaks down so much faster than inhalants and stuff, so giving shots would be a guessing game. As far as I understod it from the reply they do give shots for food but it doesnt seem to work well and can be dangerous.

So I am not gonna think about doing that any more. Sounds too risky and might not help much.

Thanks for all of your replies!!
