Hi All,
I think my 4 year GFDF anniversary is coming up on Nov 1. As the slogan goes, "you've come a long way, baby!" I can remember how hard it was in the beginning trying to figure out what I could eat. I also remember feeling terrible for about 9 months. Now the diet is second nature and I only feel terrible occassionally, thank goodness. Still no medication. Best thing I ever did for myself though was to join this group. I can't thank you enough. Especially Sally who had the foresight to start the first site and Tex who has picked up the torch and run with it.
With much gratitude,
Melissa (m)
4 year anniversary coming up

Congratulations Melissa,
You have come a long way. You know, it's kind of funny - I usually don't remember dates very well, (heck, I'm lucky to remember my own birthday), but I can remember the date I went GF. LOL.
Maybe we should start a GF registry forum, so that we can enter the dates when we GFers adopted the diet - it might be interesting for future reference. It might also be worthwhile to have a registry forum for those maintaining control by means of the most popular meds - say, Entocort and Asacol, for example. This could provide valuabe information for newbies, in the long run.
Anyway,
, and thanks for the tip about the Enjoy Life cookies.
Love,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Three cheers for you
You deserve a huge pat on the back for your awesome accomplishment.
