We do have a blast. Morgan is no good at all with hair tips ... hers just looks that way. Trust me, I've tried to get her to teach me, but she does nothing to it!!

I'm sure the weight will fall off as easily as it piled on ... if gluten caused it, gluten-free will fix it! Don't worry too much.

I've got to get the baby boy to bed. By the time I get back you all will probably be gone. :(

Such is life with little ones. :P I miss most of the fun this time of evening though. Gotta let Mitch on for awhile too. He is usually on while I'm waiting for Seth to go to sleep. He's into playing in the crib now that he can stand up. So now it takes longer for him to settle down and go to sleep.

I look, thanks. :)

G'nite Penguin. :)

Come back tomorrow and tell us whats up with the challenge....is it officially over today? Does this mean you've had your biopsy?? How did it go??

Didnt you lose weight the first time you went gluten-free.....I'm sure the weight will come off once you're back on the diet. Are you all glutened out now...did you at least have donuts at all during the challenge??

I miss donuts....I see them all day at work...see people eating them....smell them baking...dang....I wish I could at least have a Kinnickinnick donut. Even those rock hard frozen things look pretty darn appealing to me. Gaaaawd....if I ever bought a bag of those theres no doubt I would Rachel them...it would probably be some kind of record or something.

Isnt it sad that our donuts come frozen in a bag? :blink:

How come noone makes fresh donuts...the kind that are still warm and soft?? This is something I need to put on my "lifetime" list. One day I will have a soft warm delicious gluten-free chocolate donut. :)

Wow.....I think I've had too much sugar today and now I want more and more and I'm now rambling on about donuts.... :ph34r:

I think its time for bed.

G'nite everyone. :)

:) Hi All! I finally got caught up on this thread and the omg thread and now must check out to see how Susie's face is on the "face falling off" thread! Wow love everyone's new avatars and good luck with your biopsy penguin, I hope you feel better soon. This has been an ordeal for you, I know.

Congratulations Ryan on the Greenland job transfer. You must tell us all the Greenland "inside info" .

Hey did anyone see the Anthony Bourdain -Beirut special on "No Reservations" last night? (travel channel) Unbelievable -he went to do a cooking show and ended up stranding when the bombing started. I missed the first half :( .

Andrea, it is good to see you are still your perky organized sweet self.

Susie-dingo--How are the girls, the decorating and the cement staining going? Also, in the-matters of the heart-you are in my thoughts and prayers :) .

Everyone else --Feel good, laugh, get rest, and altogether have a great Tuesday!!! :)

btw-where is our Village Idiot? The Dave-I love your puppies!!!!!!!!!

I have an announcement:

THE GLUTEN CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!!

Praise God! The tooth fairy! Santa Claus! The Pillsbury Doughboy!

Funny thing is that right now I'm so preoccupied with weight watchers that I'm barely noticing the gluten-free thing. DH had to remind me to read labels in the store, although everything I picked up is in my gluten-free rotation, I did double check labels, though. I like gluten-free food better, anyway :P

Yes, I ate donuts while I was on the challenge just because I could, I don't even like donuts. I ate tons of muffins though, and an entire pizza yesterday :ph34r:

The biopsy went fine, not quite sure what the dr said, as I was out of it and Adam wasn't paying that much attention. :rolleyes: I guess he said that everything looked normal, except that my intestine was a little red, but he had no reason to suspect celiac damage. At any rate, he did biopsies (I think around 8, that's what he said in the appt) that I'll have results on by the end of the week and put me on the gluten-free diet. Boo. Now to get all of my family members tested :rolleyes:

Chelse, I am so excited for you!!!!! Congratulations on making it through to the biopsy, and best of luck getting started with your new gluten-free life :):)

Hi Robbin :)

Good luck Morgan with no sugar today! I like your new picture :)

I never really ate a whole lot of donuts in my lifetime, but after becoming gluten-free I wanted them so bad :lol:

You know what are so good? Imo at least, the Enjoy Life Foods cinnamon bagels, not really donut like but a distant runner up. Unfortunately there is amaranth flour in them and I am avoiding all gliadin grains as well :(

SusanW- that's cute your daughter took the picture, she did a good job!

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
