No, the endoscopy is not a scary procedure at all, only the thought of it is scary. You will be medicated (sedated with a drug that will make you forget the procedure entirely) and will have no consciousness of what is happening. Usually, the only after effect you are likely to experience is perhaps a mild sore throat for a day and most don't even have... -
Is it a conscious big breath, or does it just happen??
-
I, too, have these deep, sudden, unexpected breaths that I have no control over. I am not aware at the time of being short of breath (although I am chronically upon exertion because of COPD), but it seems like every ten minutes or so it "just happens" out of the blue. I once talked to my PCP about it, and she (she was a jerk) just kind of sneered/smirked...

I was getting quite distraught about my hair loss, too, especially at the front. I had always had "too much" hair according to some hairdressers, but I was starting to look like a little old lady with receding hairline and almost bald patches at the front, and trying to bulk it up to make it look like I had more, and bring more and more hair forward into...

Not as sensitive as to gluten. Bloating, gas, passing out if I eat too much corn, but that was before I knew. Now I can get away with a little, Garden of Eatin Corn Chips, one or two, and I have to admit I don't worry too much if corn is a very secondary ingredient. I am glad your arthritis went with the gluten I am not sure if my arthritis flare was...

I take Panadol because I can't take anti-inflammatories of any kind. I have problems with corn in US but not in NZ. I have not had any corn issues with Panadol and when I was in the midst of an arthritis flare was taking six per day for two or three months, for whatever that is worth.

Hey, thanks for those names; I will file them away in my chocolate connoisseur file for next month. Lately I have just been scrounging around in the dumpster for whatever I can find :lol:

Update: Went to a gluten free expo today; Lindt chocolate was on display and it was confirmed to me (from an official list put out by Lindt) that the 70% dark chocolate we get in New Zealand and OZ is both gluten and soy free (although "may" contain traces of soy, but good enough for me--if it were gluten it would be different since soy just makes me itch...

Soy Intolerant... Need Help With Hidden Soy!
mushroom replied to gfwarrior's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Don't feel bad about being confused; most of us are in one way or another. Like, i have never heard of guar gum as having soy in it. I probably consume so little of and have so many itches that I am not aware of consuming it if it does have. I would be surprised though. I break out in very itch red rash from soy. So like you, chocolate is a problem... -
Best State To Live In For The gluten-free Diet?
mushroom replied to crayola's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I like to live in a state of gluten-free contentedness, wherever that may be. -
Best State To Live In For The gluten-free Diet?

Unfortunately on Central Coast you are kind of 'twixt and 'tween. Neither the liberal, anything goes freewheeling of SF Bay Area and North Bay, nor the hubbub, glitz and zing of SoCal. At one point we thought of retiring to Cambria, but hey, we just wanted to retire, not go to sleep! Sorry, didn't intend this to sound derogatory, but Central Coast is kinda... -
Sometimes the "oaked" wines get that way, not by barrel-aging, but by the winemaker adding oak chips So I was told by a winery rep. I imagine these would be the cheaper oaked wines.
-
That may be true, but 98.8% them contain soy lecithin as an emulsifier! And I just went to buy my Well Naturally chocolate bar, and they have pulled them from the shelf because some lady claimed she got sick from eating them. What's a gal gotta do to get a chocolate fix???
-
I don't particularly like them either, but they are chocolate! And this one contains no soy (I think?)--one of the few. I will email them again.
