I was 37 before I got it figured out.. several people in one of my support groups were talking about it recently and late 30's to early 40's seems to be about average for most adults to actually get a diagnosis

all of those things you mentioned do seem to be part and parcel of gluten problems.. I'm on loads of D3, super high doses of iron every day, do many vitamins, 2 blood pressure meds (mines high) a handful of other vitamins, plus my PCOS meds.. i get so sick of taking pills every day.. and having to make sure all of…

what I want to know is why the chocoalte Chex is so dang hard to find in stores!! Not a single store in my area carries it.. I have to ship it up (alaska) via Amazon... makes me so sad... I love that stuff (and all the other gf varieties, that thankfully are available locally..)

same here. I have had problem after problem for years. I'd go see the doctor and get told I was anemic, had PCOS, depression, high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, severe sleep apnea, (along with the digestive issues, headaches, obesity, nausea, dental problems, dizziness, chronic fatigue, constant pain - was *this*…

this is a HUGE part of why I made my own dress.. that and it cost me like, $100 instead of $1000.. that and finding a plus size dress I actually liked was nigh unto impossible.. and 6 month engagement... small wedding, did most of the prep myself.. whole wedding was only about $1000 so yay! (since I was moving 3000…

My husband came up with the "daddy dance" when my step daughters were younger. The middle child was about 8/9 and would throw horrid tantrums. We were in the store one day when she started one and we were just fed up. He got the idea to start dancing and being very "silly" while telling her that the louder she…

hopefully they were all just rendered speechless by the utter insanity and stupidity of the comment

It is a painful thing that most members don't study much about because it is so hard to deal with. But there was so much persecution going on at the time. The early settlers had been repeatedly driven from their homes, had their wives and daughters raped, entire families slaughtered. Governor Boggs of Missouri had…

Please note, the article didn't say it was banned by the Mormons.. and all of us that I've talked to about literature rather like Doyle.. this book included (and Mark Twain, too. he wasn't always our biggest fan, either..)

that girl, sadly, was not a very good example. I will admit, that, when given the option, I would pick the least possiblely offensive reading material option, but when it was a case of "this is what we're reading as a class" then that is what I read. And I would have to say that like 98% of the other Mormons I know…

I have to say, banning this book for that is insane. And yes, I am LDS/Mormon. But seriously, this would serve as a much better way to introduce subjects like how political and religious views change over time, that thing we might have thought at one point don't always hold up over time (as applies to slavery and…

being from the Palmer/Wasilla area.. her estimate of the number of people who can't stand Sarah seems a bit low.... I'd put it more at at least 85%..

we built my daughters the best possible barbie houses.. we took some of the deep pegboard bookcase sides, built shelves with dividers and they had their own 4 foot tall, 5 ft wide 3 story with flat roof "garden" area.. we used self adhesive foam sheets for "carpet" and bought tons and tons of furniture from the thrift…

not to mention, any and all of your infertile friends (and there are many of us...) really REALLY hate having daily reminders of our failing posted to our walls in updates with pregnancy announcements, ultrasounds as your avatar, complaints about pregnancy symptoms or how the new born is keeping you up at night, etc..…

actually, there are a lot of us out there who can see how creationism and evolution can work together.. we believe that, while, yes, God created everything, that included the natural and physical laws of the universe and, once those were started, He had to work within them. He basically gave everything a good running…

I'm so sorry. I'm dealing with similar issues. My little 4 yr old pommie suddenly started acting sick over the weekend and I spent 3 hours at the vet's office the other day while they were running tests. Turns out he's suddenly in the midst of kidney failure. We brought him home and are doing what we can for now.…

I just have to whine a big ole "no fair!" on behalf of those of us without cable access having to wait til October!!!!! for this ep and the rest of the season apparently. Hulu showed us the first 2 eps, but the rest now have to wait until the end of the run. (same goes for trying to watch on the syfy website..) I was…

Go to lowes/home depot.. they sell timer switches. I love them. We installed them in our apartment and I loved them. You replace the switches in your most problem areas (kid's bedrooms, bathrooms, etc..) and then when the light gets turned on, it will automatically shut off again after it's set time. most will stay on…

As an FYI, the pipeline that had the leak is shared by every single oil company drilling up on the slope. The entire line was shut down for repairs when this leak happened. This was just the section that BP was assigned to be responsible for.

you realize that "their product" is in at least 50% of the things probably in your house. Anything plastic or rubber, or that has parts made of those, are also available because of the oil industry, right?
