According to Bush's all of their beans are safe EXCEPT their chili magic line.
I have never eaten Frank's hot sauce, but it is gluten free.
Did your chicken have any fillers, anything injected?
Could it have just been all the spicyness that made you feel gross?

Wow, so how much relation is there between gall bladder problems and gluten-intolerance?
I just logged on here to post a thread about this. My mother just called to tell me that she's getting her gall bladder out on Thursday. She's 58, and experimenting with the gluten-free diet. My grandmother also had her gall bladder out in her 50s, and she was definitely gluten-intolerant.
What things can one do to keep a gall bladder healthy? I can see this happening to me in 30 years, but I'm the only one of the three of us who really figured things out and started the gluten-free diet.
I'm in my 20's lol so don't say that it can happen in 30 years lmao......Ok well I confess, that's probably what I would have said a couple of weeks ago

Jessica--Ouch! I hope your hand is better today.
I really liked the episode last night. It was so nice to have a new one--it's been a while.
Ha....well if you consider purple knucles and pain when I move my fingers ok ....then yep I'm great Actually I think I am pretty lucky.....could have been much worse
YEAH FOR GREY"S ANATOMY!!!
How long do you think Callie and George are going to last at this rate??
-
I was so excited that Grey's was a new episode last night. It totally made my day (after having my hand get stuck/smashed in an elevator and having tests to see if I am having surgery!!)
I thought it was a pretty good episode. The whole Derrick thing with him being told that Meredith is what is keeping him from being chief has me curious......will he dump her to become chief??

My 15 year old daughter just got diagnosed with gallstones. They instantly wanted to have me talk to the surgeon about taking it out. Am I crazy for wanting to try and break them up before we do something that radical?
They prescribed a medication that is supposed to break the stones up. I was considering trying one of the natural remedies with epson salts, olive oil grapefruit juice and lemon juice. To see if she would pass them. She is not looking forward to drinking the concoction. So I told her I would drink it too.
I have talked to a few people who have done it and I swear by it. I think we may try it this weekend.
While looking up info on gall bladder......I also ran into quite a lot of info on the flushes. They just don't sound safe to me. Like Eveelady said, the stones can get stuck in the bile duct and end up causing even MORE trouble than you started out with. Sounds scarey to me!!

I went in for my ultrasound today. My great g-ma is also in the same hospital so I went up to visit her and then went to get onto the elevator to go down for my appointment. Two people were comming off so I waited for them then reached my hand out to stop the door from closing.......which usually pops the door back open.....however this time......it closed and smashed onto my hand!! My hand was STUCK in the elevator door and I couldn't even scream for help because it hurt so much.
I finally realized nobody was coming to help me and with visions of loosing fingers dancing in my head decided to use my other hand and try to pry the door opened. I tried pushing the button to re-open the door and that didnt' work.....so went to work with the prying with the free hand. I finally got my fingers wedged into the door enough to get the door pulled back enough to slip my fingers/hand out. WHEWWWWW. MAN that hurt....fingers were bright red and purple with dents in them. I thought to myself....oh come on and "shake it off" big wuss! ha
Went on down in the elevator (still nobody noticed I got hurt) to check in for my ultrasound. The lady checking me in asked if I was ok (guess I must have been pale white or something). I said "not sure, I just smashed my hand in your elevator and showed her my hand. She immediately called someone from E.R. and they came and made me go over and get all checked out. The doctor was very nice, he knew I was feeling quite embarassed over the issue. X-Rays showed no breaks.......YEAH!! Just lots of bruising.
Once finished there, I barely made it to my ultrasound appointment. The ladies were waiting for me.
It was all quite painful and embarassing!! Now I await the test results of my ultrasound
P.S.......feel free to laugh that is all that I have been able to do....what person gets a body part STUCK in the darn elevator!
-
Yes do freeze them, unless of course you want to be a piglet and eat them all in one sitting today! ha

One more thing............dr said eat a low fat diet. I am already bored with that lol Help me out with some good ideas of foods/combinations of foods that would be low in fat and good for a person who is having gall bladder troubles.
Tonight I had a bowl of rice
-
Just adding my thoughts and prayers for everyone involved.........goodness what is our world comming to!!! I just HATE seeing things like this happen, makes me sick to my stomach.
-Jessica
-
I hope you feel better soon and its nothing serious!
Went to the Dr..........he walked in and goes "so when do you want to have this done" He thinks it sounds like gall bladder.......Pushed around on me which hurt ALOT! He had the lab take blood and urine samples today. I have to do an ultrasound this week sometime. So we shall see.........I just want the pain to go away
Thanks for the wellwishes
-Jessica
-
I am heading to the Dr. here in a few......the pain has been pretty intense and I decided to go Hopefully answers soon to come.
-
I think that I am having some problems with my gall bladder. I am having a burning/pain on my right side in the rib cage area. Also I sometimes get a severe burning pain inbetween my shoulder blades in my back. Also some nausea when eating or smelling some foods.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of gall bladder troubles........feel free to weigh in I'd love to hear if these are symptoms or if I am crazy.
Thanks in advance.

I recieved my copy of the book today. I thought it was pretty good. I would not say it is geared twards toddlers as I previously thought. It has some large words for younger children, they may not understand the idea that is being portrayed. Another downside is that they only mention wheat, rye, and barley..........and leave out oats. I would have liked to have seen oats included because there is so much research yet to be done on that subject.
On the positive......the illustrations are cute and bright colored. Kids would really like them. I like that it has some rhyming words so the text flows. The book does a good job of breaking the information down so little ones can understand it. Overall I think it is a good book. If you have little ones, it would be a great bedtime story

I must be doing something wrong!! I made the sausage pizza the other day and the taste was great, but it was really soggy. The leftovers are still in the fridge. Maybe I let it sit in the pan too long? Has anyone else had this and the crust was crispy??
My crust was not crispy either, and it was all terribly greasy. I will not be spending my money on this pizza. I'll stick with my chebe crust!! Thanks anyways.

'How I Eat Without Wheat': New Book Helps Children Cope with Restricted Diets
SAN DIEGO, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Karen Fine helps young readers take
a positive approach to revitalizing their health through a gluten-free diet
in her new book, "How I Eat Without Wheat" (now available through
AuthorHouse).
Jack is a young boy who suddenly becomes sick and doesn't know why. His
parents take him to the doctor, and they find out that Jack can no longer
eat wheat, rye or barley because he has celiac disease. Jack embraces his
new diet and learns about all the alternative ingredients that can be used
in recipes so that he can still enjoy his favorite foods.
Jack's story is told in fun rhyme and accompanied by entertaining and
vibrant full-color illustrations. The book shows children that they are not
alone in their dietary restrictions and can feel better while still eating
good foods. "[i hope to] inspire children who have diets that restrict them
from eating anything with gluten (wheat, rye or barley) to live a happy
'normal' life," says Fine.
Fine holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and commercial art and an
MBA in computer resource and information management. She flew search and
rescue helicopters for the U.S. Navy for nine years and remains active in
the Navy Reserve as a lieutenant commander. The inspiration for this book
arose when Fine's oldest son was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003.
Since then, she has conducted extensive research to learn more about how to
help educate young children on how they can live a normal life. She is very
involved with children's activities due to her two young sons and four
nieces, including reading to her sons' preschool and nursery classes and
volunteering with classroom activities. Fine is an avid writer and has been
published in several trade magazines and newsletters. "How I Eat Without
Wheat" is her first children's book. More information is available at
