    I knew Irish wouldn't last long...lmao Thanks for the recipes and YES I want I will email. I will whip up my first batch with one of those recipes this weekend and I'm going to make Maple Butter for them too. Yummmmmm. Colleen

    Hi and welcome to the Forum. Are you talking about the Vagal Nerve in your neck? This would explain your issues. If you ate gluten free since June then you would test negative in October. You must be eating Gluten for an accurate test. Colleen

    Abbs, I got a Rival. I chose regular as opposed to Belgium because I like waffles a bit firmer, crisper instead of doughy. If you get one ask Irish for her waffle recipe. She told me I would love it. Colleen

    Yes, I'm learning that these smaller details make a big difference. I'm excited to make the butter. Does it matter if the butter is salted or not salted? And will a drop of vanilla extract work instead of a bean? Thanks, Colleen

    Hey Love2, Remember you mentioned Maple Butter the other day? I would really love the know how to make it. And I have my new waffle iron in hand, now I'm all ready for when Irish gets back and I get her recipe for waffles. It's breakfast for dinner here tonight. Yummmmmm. Thanks, Colleen

    Abbs...I took a lot of Art History myself. I saw the painting pic this morning. I rather like it. I learn something new everyday !!! I'm glad it's getting better Take Care, Colleen

    Hey Abbs, I was researching DH this morning and I came across a guy named Jean-Paul Marat. He lived in the late 1790's. Anyway, It was the opinion, after his death, that he was suffering with a horrid case of DH. He was a Doctor himself. Of course little was known about Celiac/DH so diet change was never a concern. I was reading that he spent most...

    Abbster, Just know that we are all here to help you get thru this !!! I hope you are able to see some improvement as quickly as possible. I see more baths and foot rubs in your future All my best, Colleen

    I eat out about once every two months. That's just me. I have horrible reactions so I just don't chance it anymore. Colleen

    If your Doctor is suggesting Plaquenil then he must suspect an additional Autoimmune Disease which would go with your positive ANA. Of course if your getting cc'd then that would explain the continued AI response. Plaquenil is an immune suppressant and it tough to tolerate. I would push for an additional diagnosis. AI Diseases like to have friends ...

    Wow Irish....I saw your recipe for pie crust and I think I blacked out from panic at that point because I missed the link. I got it saved now, Thank You. Thanks Lori, I am confident it will be delicious (Irish made me say that) Colleen
  12. GF Lover
    OK. I had a cup cake for dinner and feel much better and "lard" scares me ! I feel better about the turkey already. Irish? Can you tell me how to make an apple pie? I would like to use real apples. Pretty Please Colleen
  13. GF Lover
    OK. I'm having a panic attack ! I'm thinking BRM mix has my name on it, although I'm going to keep the pie crust recipe to try at a later time and I was taking a closer look at the Alton Brown Turkey link and I saw "brining" and my heart stopped. I seriously though "brine" had to do with shrimp. I like the pumpkin cheesecake thing so that's locked in...
  14. GF Lover
    Ok. As of this minute, I will go forward with confidence and the knowledge that I do have the skills to do this. Thanks Irish, you always know what to say to me. I think the pumpkin pie with ginger snap crust would be awesome, I'm addicted to ginger snaps anyway I do want to try the pie crust with the apple and I do have a rolling pin Colleen
  15. GF Lover
    Ok. Got the turkey recipe book maked. Thank you. I'll go with the Pillsbury pie crust like Shadow. So here is my intended menu: Turkey by Alton Brown Crock Pot Stuffing Creamed Corn Casserole, Addy ... can I have your recipe? Green Bean Casserole, Addy ... recipe please? Candied Sweet Potatoes, Addy? Mashed Potatoes Rolls Cranberry salad...
  16. GF Lover
    Help needed from my fine foodie friends. I am determined to make a great Thanksgiving feast this year. I'm going to make that crock pot stuffing. I'm going to use both corn bread (I have a Hogson Mills mix) and some packaged bread. I don't have a mixer so can't make my own). I'll toast it all first but I can't tear the bread into chunks so ill just...

    Addy busted me. I admit it, I was gonna have one anyway But it was way better knowing I was celebrating good health!! Love you guys Colleen

    Happy 3rd to Irish Having a cup cake in your honor Colleen
  19. GF Lover
    I noticed one of the cup cakes disappeared over-night. My son crawled out of his cave this morning and said "where did you get those cup cakes? They are awesome" I told him I made them and they were gluten-free. He didn't believe me He thought hubs had picked them up. HA .. There are only 3 left. I hid them in the freezer. GIT YER PAWS OFF MY CUP...

    Oh Karen, that is a great idea. They are finished cooling off. I frosted one and ate it. Total yummers. Off to frost the rest. Thanks again Karen. Colleen
  21. GF Lover
    Halloween was cancelled It's too spooky out. Driving wind, rain and being pelted by swirling leaves must not be fun for the little ones I'm making cup cakes. How do I freeze them with frosting on them? It seems like the frosting will stick to the saran wrap. I guess I could freeze them plain and then frost when I eat one but then my frosting might...

    GF Lover commented on Porcelina's blog entry in Gluten Challenge

    The soreness under your arms and chest could be from the lymph nodes swelling there, starting the sore throat, etc. It sounds like your auto-immune system is really getting mad. And obviously your hormones are revolting on you too. I to would double over in pain after eating (pre gluten free). Hang in there if you can but also keep your Doc informed of...

    Well, I am a Celiac, not gluten intolerant and I have over 25 years of "experience" regarding food issues and other AI Diseases. I am glad you are benefiting from the gluten-free diet. Colleen
  24. GF Lover
    I don't think a Veterinarian is a good source for human food intolerance issues. Also, IMHO, I would not trust a medical diagnosis from a mail away lab, too many variables and you don't specifically state what all you tested for and what was negative or positive. Allergies are different from Intolerances and so on. Some psychiatric issues have nothing...

    And slainte right back at ya. I managed some peanut butter toast and Babe (my name for hubs) is making me cookies My good news is ... regarding my cancer check up ... "no definitive progression of metastatic activity" which means the cancer has not gone any further than the initial lymph nodes at this time. Giraffe jigglers ... just saying...
