:ph34r: Donna!

:lol::lol::lol:

Was hoping no one noticed that, lol. :lol:

Hmmm....I'm thinking the cows doing their business on or around our nice fresh rachelville grown veggies is not a good thing. <_<

I hereby object to cows pooping in the vegetable garden! I OBJECT!! (In case you didnt hear me) :D

:lol: The President has spoken!

Then maybe after their poop is composted, we need a poop hauler to take it over and fertilize the garden, the poop won't be smelly at that point. Might be an appropriate job for the town idiot! :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

Sometimes I go back through recent pages in case I missed something. When this thread is hopping, I am more certain to do that....and when it's slow, I generally don't miss anything. :) You just need to hope it's a day I don't feel like posting. :lol: (which does happen believe it or not). :P

dlp252 Apprentice
Kind of a punishment for going back into the pages of the OMG thread.... :P

Yes this should be a decree...anyone who goes back should incur punishment, lol. (Okay, maybe only TheDave!) :lol:

I'd like to bring something to everyone's attention--I have done a successful multiple quote post for the first time ever! I'm pretty proud B):lol:

OMGosh...is it true? :lol:

Doesn't poop hauler = attorney :lol::lol::lol:

I think I'd better keep quiet on this one...there IS one attorney (very nice I might add) in my office who has gluten intolerance, lol. :lol:

By-the-way, great picture!

Too funny, Donna do you work at an attorney's office?

Yes, I am the one in the middle. I only put the pic up because it is the only jpg I could find. That picture was from last year, Army 98 Fordham 0. The two guys are my touch judges, I was the referee for the match.

Yes, I do...I don't say too much about work here because I am one of 5 people in this office who are gluten intolerant or Celiac, lol. ;)

wow, that is amazing. I am the only one in my office. One of our assistants has Crohns but I believe I am the only one with celiac disease or possible celiac disease.

does everyone get the new name?

Hi Susan!

Nice to see you :)

That's the thing about company--you have to clean before they arrive, and then again after they leave!!! :lol:

This morning I was literally on my hands and knees cleaning up grease spots all over my kitchen floor. :angry: The funny thing is, they weren't there when I went to bed :blink: Had to have something to do with my son's work boots.....

Nice -- I like it. Too bad I was enlisted.

no.....what did I miss? but - are you wearing Star Trek shirts? is it a trekkie thing? :blink:

yes, Trekkie reference. I figured the link would be easy for everyone to remember -- ex-navy diver and my last name. :lol::rolleyes::D

Ok, I am off. Need to get home.

So does anyone have it as bad as I do as far as this site goes? It is minimized on my computer at work all day. I hate to miss out for too long because then I have so much to read to catch up. Ha!

oh yeah, i got home from working at frosh orientation and i had like 112 emails from celiac.com, which is many more than i usually get, cause i get notification of a new reply to this topic cause i can't get THAT far behind, or i will never catch up.

I think I spent the first 1/2 hour at work today just reading to catch up on here.

I hear you. I just hope that I don't get pages behind when I really have to do something. It usually takes me 1/2 hour to an hour to catch up in the morning and I try to be on consistently at night after the kids are in bed....by then it's usually calmed down.

I check it sooooo many times through out the day it's not even funny.....well maybe it is

The B girls - always cute - Carla, are you asking for that photo as you sit right next to your daughter on the couch? :lol:

I'm glad you enjoy it bc it probably won't stop since we're both lazy. Plus, I'll be going to college soon.

Girls, and our few men, and dingos,

My phone lines went down today so no internet. I was in panic mode, what am I gonna miss on the board :blink::blink:

I have a lot of reading to do to catch up.

Shel Silverstein- I have a collection of his books, he was my favorite growing up- I think I have all of them.

Grease- LOVE IT, I love Grease 2 also, with Michelle Pfiefer (sp?). I watched that over and over and over again when I was 10 or 11, around there. The three questionable songs, not for young ears, "Reproduction" , "Do it For Our Country" and "Gonna Score Tonight", me and my friends would sing them at the top of our lungs, knew every word but didn't know exactly what it meant :lol:

Picard- great picture!!! You are a soccer coach too, right? I thought that is what you said and it looks like you are wearing some kind of sports uniform in the picture...

Susan- I am available to dingosit the bored staring dogs for you :lol:

Back to reading....

Green12 Enthusiast

Forgot to say, I love everyone's new pictures,

.....still waiting for Rachel in a purple dress and heels :D

OMG julie!!

I LOVE Grease 2!! I think I saw if first before I ever saw Grease....I loved it...have seen it too many times to count. I probably know it by heart. Because I saw it first, I never really liked the original Grease half as much. Nobody else gets this!! Everyone looks at me like I'm off my rocker cuz I like the one with Michelle Pfiefer better.....sue me! :rolleyes:

The songs you named arent my favs though...I liked "I'll be Your Girl For All Seasons", "Cool Rider" and the one at the end...when they're at the luau....cant think of it right now.

Julie,

I was wondering where you were today.....wasn't worried......yet. :)

CarlaB Enthusiast

I saw Grease in the theater and both Olivia Newton John and John Travolta were wildly popular. They played the songs on the radio, too. It was big summer hit ... I was in high school.

I saw Grease 2 a couple years ago, but I don't remember it. I remember liking it better than I thought I would, but I don't really even remember it being in the theaters.

Okay, showing my age here ... I'll have to rent the second one again. I can see how you could like the second one better if the first was in the theaters before you were old enough to see it there.

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
