WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO EAT!!!!! JEEZ! I don't think I could do that if I wanted to. I'm a total carnivore and cheese hound.

I am a total carnivore too...love my meat...I think just reducing the overall load is what counts, so I'll do it in the other areas mostly.

Just popping in really quick, will have to come back and read to catch up....

An important tip about steaming the tortillas, do not let the water boil up into the steamer basket! That would be very bad, you will end up with a pile of mushy gooey ground corn. You want the water below the bottom of the steamer basket and as it boils let the steam come up through the little holes. Hopefully that makes sense?

Susan, they aren't very expensive (I don't think). I have a metal one, not sure what material, and it adjusts to fit different pan sizes. like an unfolding flower looking thing, hard to describe, bt it comes in handy. I steam vegetables with it, and tamales, and now the corn tortillas.

Rinne, beautiful picture!!!

I must confess I have not followed the thread about Megan, I haven't had much time to stray from here. I will have to read what is going on. She will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Karen, looks like you are the trouble maker in Rachelville :lol: We have all thought about you and your "D", I wish somebody could find you a solution.

Be back later!

Rinne,

It's so good to finally see you. :P

Jeny,

I don't know about your situation with the different computers.

Karen,

Did you see the post about gliadin foods that someone posted earlier.

What's the thing with altoids? Aren't they a breath freshener? I've noticed on other threads that you are the altoids lady.

Susan,

How are you doing today. What does TMI mean anyway?

Rachel,

Have fun today.

Cissie,

Hope you feel better real soon.

Julie,

I'll keep that in mind....steaming corn tortillas.

Donna,

You've been doing lots of research lately. Did the plums settle well with you?

Patti,

Sounds like you are feeling good too.

Cecile,

For when you get a chance to get on here. Hope you're feeling good today.

Robbin,

Are you there? I forget whether you posted earlier today or not. Are you feeling better today?

Vincent, Ryan, Picard,

I trust all is well with our "fellow" residents.

All the other gals I missed, hello.

Debbie,

Can we add you to the list of jobs for Rachelville?

Yes, it was a little slow at work today, so when there's no work I can play. Well, I think the warning from Penguin was kind of applicable (reminding me of the prune affect, lol)...but that was okay because I'd had C for a couple of days. :lol:

wait....R-ville is perfect, so we don't need counselors, right?? Karen's job can be the Altoids Sales Rep and Dispenser of Good Times.....but she won't have to sell them, just give them out freely, you know, at the parades and all, and the dances at the Town Square.....good times!

We have something in common--My baby sister is 8 years younger than I am. I always took care of her when we were kids, I took her everywhere with me! We have always been very close. I have another sister who is 4 years younger. We also fought a lot when we were kids, and only now, in the last 2 years or so are we finally getting to be close.

Patti, yes it is great to have sisters, I feel very fortunate to have them. :)

Andrea, what an adorable picture of your children, the littlest one looks like he might be a little mischievious. :)

Cissie, I hope you are feeling better.

Thank you for the compliments, it's nice to be seen. :)

Oh and I don't get the Altoids thing either, does this mean I have to go to Google to find out? You mean I have to leave Rachelville? :lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
