Luce,
Hope you're feeling better. What a bummer! Thanks for sharing, it might help other who have a chain near them. Wishing you less stress.

Shirley,
Please keep us "posted"!
Continued well wishes!

Thanks, Luce and Shirley for the inspiration.

Couldn't resist my mom's rolls and dressing . . . I paid for it! I think I'm still paying. So hit me over the head with a frying pan! I get it, Gluten makes me sick!

Got to the health food store and stocked up on GF staples for baking. Gathered some ...

Hi my neighbor to the south!
Thanks for the info on buckwheat and the flours. I need to keep a card with me listing all the okay flours, until this stuff sinks in. I also have to take time to get organized and get my kitchen up to speed. I think with careful planning this will be a piece of cake ...

Polly,
I've got Elizabeth's blog book marked and am chomping at the bit to try that meatloaf! Like that idea of half potato and rutabaga mashed together, too!

The GF dummy books are great. They explain the paleo diet too. I'm learning so much. They are both written by a woman whose son was ...

Thanks, Katy and Tex. I'll remember about the lettuce, in both cases. I'll be on the lookout for the enerG crackers. We have two great health/organic food stores in the area, that I know of. One even makes their own bread. I'm really lucky. Our groceries stores, also have whole sections dedicated to ...

Thanks Polly!!
I did go to Dr. Fines site and checked it out. I'll see what happens at the docs. Can't wait to see if he's a little more up to speed. Here's hoping!

I am reading Living Gluten Free for Dummies and Gluten Free Cooking for Dummies . This is a crash course for me. I read about the ...

Thank you, Tex! I sure appreciate your wisdom and your willingness to help. I continue to read here, but there aren't enough hours in the day. Thanks again!

Hi,
I have a dr. apptmnt on the 5th of Dec. to see my gastro for my diagnosed MC. I will be having a blood test before my apptmnt. and I'm thinking it is to test for celiac. I could be wrong in that thinking, but that's my best guess. Otherwise I don't know why they'd have to draw blood. I started ...

Oh Shirley,
I really know how scary a 2nd mammo is. I'll be sending positive thoughts and prayers your way, along with Happy Thanksgiving wishes. You are wise not to get too shook up, these new digital mammos are simply amazing and pick up every little shadow. So many woman are going back twice with ...

Okay, I certainly have my work cut out for me. I'm thinking of starting this after Thanksgiving . . .Kind of a glutton for gluten until after Turkey Day. Where can I find what to eat while I'm still learning what contains gluten? I'm lactose free right now. I believe I need to get rid of gluten ...

Hi Mary!
They found 3 spots of cancer and one more in the biopsies. I am so very lucky, they found it so very early and I didn't need chemo, radiation or hormones. Last year, I had to have a hysterectomy along with 1 ovary removed. I was having MC problems even before that, but it got noticeably ...

I feel so welcome here, thanks! I'm thinking about the non-gluten diet, but I'm trying to give the Asacol a fair chance. To be very honest, sometimes I forget my last dose because I'm in bed and am just too tired to get back up. Very poor excuse, I know. I pay for it early morning. So tonight we're ...

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I'm reading an reading and reading. This place is great.
