    Pet question!

    My cat was on miralax daily for almost 2 years for constipation. She was much older though (13 years old when it first became a problem). I mixed it in with tuna fish but if your's is on wet food you could probably just mix it right in there. It helped with her bathroom habits and the tuna made...

    Why is gluten-free such a hot topic?

    I started getting tested for Celiac Disease regularly (at least once a year if not every 6 months) in 2002 when my father was diagnosed with Celiac. I had all the symptoms and its a genetic autoimmune disorder. I tested negative and also tested inconclusive for 4 years until I got my first ever...

    Why is gluten-free such a hot topic?

    Yup! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease almost 8 years ago and the only treatment is completely gluten free (I am also dairy free). Once gluten free became the new hot trend diet people started questioning why I needed to be completely gluten free and telling me it was just a bandwagon fad...

    Gluten free burrito wraps?

    Be forewarned, corn tortillas tend to have an overwhelming and sometimes off-putting scent. Warming them up is definitely a must.

    I was given this diagnosis by a urogynecologist after experiencing a change toward heavy, painful periods and period like pain and cramping every day all month long.

    Professor Docking Points

    I am a college professor and I find it incredibly rude when students just get up and leave during my courses. It is disrespectful to me and to your classmates. Now if you come up at the beginning of class and provide me with a valid explanation (a lot of my students have children so leaving for...

    Celiac disease

    I was strongly positive on the antibody blood test but did not have any signs in my endoscopy. I definitely have Celiac Disease and my doctor was 100% comfortable diagnosing me off just the blood test because of my symptoms, the endoscopy, colonoscopy and blood tests ruling everything else out...

    Five Guys Burgers & Fries

    I don't go there often because I definitely am very full afterward and I have had better burgers and fries but I really like them because they are so good for a gluten free diet. They only fry their french fries so there is no fear of cross contamination and if you ask for no bun, they ask...

    Cashier/bagger comments?

    I frequently get comments about the gluten free food I am buying. Most of the time they are asking how it tastes and inquiring about why I need it out of sincere curiosity. Other times they give me crap for how expensive it is and ask why I would even bother getting that food when the...

    Parenthood

    The creator said some interesting things about having the season finale seem like a series finale in an EW interview. They never really know if they are coming back or not (I think probably because their seasons end so early before NBC is renewing)...

    non-milk for cereal

    I used to use soy milk before I started having problems with it and switched to rice milk but rice milk is thinner than regular milk. In the past few months I have started using coconut milk in everything. I mostly use vanilla but I keep sweetened and unsweetened on hand just in case. It is...

    Did your college bound teen get the dorm s/he wanted?

    At my school, housing picks were based on when you sent in your check and acceptance. I sent in my check the first week of January so I definitely got my first choice dorm.

    Health Insurance bill ?......is this normal?

    I had this same issue with a lab last year also under blue cross blue shield insurance. Turns out the original person at the lab had filed my paperwork wrong so things that the insurance was supposed to pay for didn't get included into it and I ended up getting a second bill after I had paid in...

    How did your child pick their college?

    I walked onto the campus of my college to visit and I knew within minutes that it was where I needed to go to school. I looked at other colleges afterwards including one the next day and it just reconfirmed the feeling of where I belonged. I applied to other schools I liked just in case I...

    To all real housewives nj fans

    Not that I care and I can't believe you are upset and thought they showed things in the right order, but how did they doctor the arrival of Hurricane Irene, which was most definitely in late August because I lived through it, to be at the start of the Napa trip if the trip was in July?
