I have been neglecting Vox recently, but want to try to correct the situation. I have written a few blog posts recently at TheStanding.com that you may be interested in.

My doctor has put me on a 6-week gluten free diet to see if I have Celiac Disease. Moving to a gluten free diet is not easy. But thank you to the internet, it is much easier than it use to be. The documentation and information given to me by my Doctor was not enough to truly understand what is and what is not available for me to eat. But I found a few sites and downloads that help quite a bit.
The ClanThompson site provides a database that makes it simple to look up foods by type or brand and tells you if they are gluten free. This was a lifesaver and worth the $$ to purchase.
I have also gone to many of the websites of restaurants I frequent to see if they have gluten free menus and some do. I have downloaded all the pdf's of these menus and emailed them to myself to access via my iPhone.
Whole Food Market has a complete downloadable list of all gluten free products (and any other special diet) they sell so you can easily make a shopping list.
As I find more, I will update this post.

We think she was about 17 years old.
A number of years ago (about 6-7 yrs), she was attacked by some large dogs and gutted. When I pulled her out of the small tree, I had to hold her upside down so her insides would not spill out. I held her that way until we got her to the Emergency Vet Clinic. A few thousand dollars later and she was back home. The vet said her fat saved her. She had so much that when the dog sliced her belly open, it only got as deep as she was fat, and did not slice any vital organs. Although you could see her organs as plain as day when I carried her in.
Over the past year, she had been loosing a lot of weight. We new she was getting old and the vet put her on some pills. Recently it had gotten much worse, her eating habits were not normal, and she stopped purring all night like she use to do. We knew she was near the end. She was down to only a few pounds.
We took her to the Vet and they discovered a large tumor in her belly. She had kidney disease, and the outlook not good. She lived a full life, even though she was abandoned early on by her first owner and gutted by dogs a few years later. Both Lisa and I will miss her terribly.
We take comfort that she is in God’s hands now.
