I'm so excited! I rode my bike twenty miles today! The last time I did this I was in bed for a week! I am amazed at the amount of stamina that I have had since going gluten free in February. I just had to tell people who would get it Thanks for letting me brag for a few minutes. Tara

That's fantastic! I miss being in shape like that.

It is 110 degrees where I live (Central CA) and we really can't even go outside today - - there are warnings and admonitions against all outdoor activity - dangerous air quality. Ugh, the heat hangs over us like a sticky, oppressive blanket. AND - - the power was out for three hours last night - biggest nightmare!

Point of all this is, I'm jealous that you live in an area where y ou can even GO outside! :angry:

Good for you. I did 30 miles yesterday and 25 today. The weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and low humidity. Makes up for the six inches of rain last week.

Congrats!! That's great! :D Feeling like you can do the things again that you love is a great feeling... My energy has improved and I can work out now each week...but still have a ways to go before I hit anything "long-distance" again...

110 degrees is way too hot for me! Sorry you don't have the chance to be outside. It is like that here in Michigan in the winter, where it is just too cold to exercise outside. The humidity is quite high here as I live near Saginaw Bay. In the winter the humidity cuts right through my jacket and singes my nose hairs!

Good for you. I did 30 miles yesterday and 25 today. The weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and low humidity. Makes up for the six inches of rain last week.

I also live in Michigan. It has been awesome weather!

I have had problems recently, but I think that it may be related to wine or oj. How has it been for you?

SkinnyMinny, I know what you mean! Last bike I had was a standard, with foot brakes and spider bars. That was in 79, so I don't know how far I'll be able to go on my new one! I went to my local bike shop and talked the guys there. They were very helpful about what I needed, and ordered one for me. Now I am waiting for it to arrive so I can start riding.

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) . I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir...

      @cristiana Hi, thank you so much, I will look into those books for sure! And get bloodwork at my next appointment. I have never been told I have TMJ, but I have seen information on it and the nerve issue while googling this devil plague in my mouth. Thank you so much for the advice!

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) .  I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir and it has really started healing my Gut. It has been about 2 months now and I am doing so much better. It was trial and error getting the right PH in the Kefir ferment that agreed with my stomach, too little ferment, too much, I finally hit the right one for me. Milk Kefir has the most probiotics than any of the other. I can't find my notes right now but there are at least 30 probiotics in Kefir, Kombucha has about 5-7 and yogurt around 3 if I recall correctly.  I wish you all the best, I know how frustrating this condition can be.

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence
