IH, maybe you could get some bright lights and cocktails or something. Or maybe this is the perfect time to start practicing speaking dolphin to get ready?
Oh, more lamb encores with tomatoes and stuff.
- Elimination diet using Atkins, 2003 – excluded wheat, caffeine, quorn. 2005, excluded sesame, alcohol
- Started diagnosis route April 2012, blood tests, endoscopy – said negative, gluten challenge, clearly something very wrong, had to stop after 3 weeks.
- Gluten Free, August 2012, Corn Free, September 2012. Removed most processed gluten free foods.
- Genetic testing, December 2012 – negative – Diagnosis – Non Celiac Gluten Intolerance (NCGI)
- Elimination diet, January 2013 – all of the above plus dairy, legumes, all grains, sugar, additives, white potatoes, soy. Reintroducing sloooowly now. Health improving.

Created by the crashing of waves from Tropical Storm Oswald......
I have never seen foam like that. I have seen foam on the beach, but that is some pretty wild stuff.
And yes, MW I am practicing my dolphin.....and all the lights are on. I could probably guide a jetliner in at this point. Maybe be mistaken for a lighthouse......

Tonight was yummy!
Men had another batch of ladas - steak this time with asparagus tossed with cilantro dressing.
I had....
spoon full of coconut oil
chopped skinless chicken thigh - previously baked - just heated in the oil
spaghetti squash noodles - also previously cooked
ground salt and pepper
couple handfuls of TJs broccoli slaw...I like it better than another brand I buy
last minute handful of cilantro so my dinner smelled like theirs - YUM!

Undiagnosed Celiac Disease ~ 43 years
3/26/09 gluten-free - dignosed celiac - blood 3/3/09, biopsy 3/26/09, double DQ2 / single DQ8 positive
10/27/09 diagnosed fibromyalgia - supplemented with amino acids - improvement followed by substantial deterioration
maybe one good hour per day for ~17 months
8/10/11 - Elimination Diet for Autoimmune Disease - incredible improvement along with clear reactions to most high lectin foods
only remaining symptom - severe heat intolerance / reaction to heat, humidity and exercise
Tomato, Pepper, Potato, Peanut, Soy, Bean, Pea, Citrus, Pineapple, Avocado, Shellfish, Dairy, Grain, Nut and Seed FREE
3/1/12 - Horrible flare -- same ol' symptoms but worse ~ 7/1/12 - Endo: Active Celiac 3+ years - as gluten-free as humanly possible.
11/15/12 - Improving once again - Almonds back - Eggs gone
12/1/12 - Histamine containing and inducing foods FREE - finally the last piece of the puzzle (I hope) -- the cause of my heat/exercise "allergy"...
...this was one of my earliest symptoms as a child -- the enzyme (DAO) needed to regulate histamine is created in the small intestine.

Who wants to house swap? It is minus 30 but windchill is minus 45. And more snow.
Did I say MINUS???
Oh hon, I love you madly, but .....absolutely not. No one--and I mean no one--- should live where it is MINUS anything.
Hey, this may be a crazy bunch, but nowhere does it say we are DUMB !!!!!

spoon full of coconut oil

Cilantro makes almost everything yummy. I love the stuff. I grow it all summer. Girl, you make everything sound good--even on a restricted diet.
I am soooo in love with coconut oil at the moment
PS no swaps thanks. Just starting to warm up a bit here. Almost spring like. Irish, walk on the beach and lunch at mine then?
And coconut oil loves you, MW.
I wish I could visit all the crazy fun people I have met on here. I would even go to where it is MINUS!
I have met Gemini and Peter and MeggieLynn in person so far. Talked to a few on the phone and on skype. All very fun peeps.
Maybe a "world tour" someday down the road. Now, that is an awesome bucket list.
Dinner tonight:
Beef Short ribs in the slow cooker (never made them in there before--I was a slow convert to slow cooking)
I'm headed for the gym and those will be falling off the bone and luscious when we get home.

Looks like you have no takers! You might get someone to take you on as a house guest for a while... you know, if you offer to do the cooking.
Gluten free January 2012.
Tyramine free June 2012 - slowly getting a few foods back at a time.... scratch that
Low Histamine April 2013 - I swear this better be the last time I have to restrict my diet because giving up chocolate is the final straw
Iodine free briefly fall 2012

Girl, you make everything sound good--even on a restricted diet.
And to think it only took 4 short years to come to my happy place
I've often said I'd eat cardboard if it meant I could obtain good health -- thankfully what I get to eat is much more tasty
ps...still waving virtual pom poms that you are back in the gym -- nice work -- enjoy those wonderfully tender short ribs -- yum!

Who's up for offering me a temporary home until this winter is over in April? I'll cook! Supposed to get even colder tonight. At these temps it is dangerous to even walk half a block to get the mail! Blech.Looks like you have no takers! You might get someone to take you on as a house guest for a while... you know, if you offer to do the cooking.
Am willing to fly but I dislike heat and humidity. Somewhere above freezing would be awesome! Takers?????

We have a little studio with an ensuite and a fridge - alas no room-sized pantry to store all the sauces and condiments. We could, I suppose, move the cars out of the garage, since it is so nice and ~~~~warm~~~~ here.

with a truly excessive amount of cabinet space (funny what having your house burn down
will get you.....) I live in CT, much nicer here! Hasn't gone into the negatives once yet this year!
IT is an electric stove though, as I am afraid of fire.... wonder why?....
