Tell him that gluten free foods are much better than paper products and in all likelihood more nutritious.

Ummmm...I'm not really too sure about that one Andrea. Right now I'm eating some Ener-G white bread. I'm thinking that paper is probably just as good. <_<

Mitch comment: In actuality, they were imported by Meredith when she discovered it was a result of a special mating season between the red bats and the blue bats. :lol: During transport on the high seas the high humidity caused such a stickiness on their bodies. Also, the glittering waters of the pristine ocean near R-ville paradise clung to them, therefore, the bats retained the glitter.

:lol::lol:

Andrea, your hubby has quite the imagination! :D

Anything is better than that ener-g bread! Ick, yuck, gross....and whatever other adjective that matches those sentiments. We threw ours out after trying it because we refused to eat it. Mitch comment: It was even worse than Dominoes cardboard pizza crust (from many years ago).

I don't know how you can tolerate the stuff. :P

Do the glittery purple bats serve to keep the glittery purple mosquito population down? I'm all for that!

I gave up on the OMG thread a long time ago. I am not sure if this job is taken but I think there needs to be a Director of Altoids Quality Control. That magical little candy seems to be an integral part of the gluten free lifestyle.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm pulling a Racheal :D I'm eating a big mug of ice cream. I haven't had any since my birthday....it's been way too long. Although I am using a mug rather than a bowl in order to keep the amount I eat down.

And thanks for explaining the bats to me.

Mosquitos??? Do we have those in Rachelville.... :unsure:

If we do its all Donna's fault....shes the pest control person and I would think mosquitos would be classified as being pests. <_<

Maybe Donna is spending too much time on the ants....trying to think up unique and *humane* ways of relocating them out of R-Ville. :lol:

Hi Morgan! Excellent logic using a mug instead of a bowl. If it were me, I would use one of those HUGE mugs that look like a gigantic soup bowl and then tell myself it wasn't so bad because at least it was a mug.......

Welcome ian and 2boys4me :)

:lol::lol:

Lucky you! I have no ice cream today. :(

I had to part with the ice cream maker for the w/end. I left it at my Mom's. Going through WITHDRAWL.... :wacko:

If you were really pulling a Rachel...you'd have like 8 of those big mugs....there is no such thing as 1 mug, 1 bowl, 1 slice, 1 piece etc.....Rachel doesnt know when to stop. :ph34r:

Help....I am now on my second loaf of Ener-G cardboard bread. Its only been 2 days since I've started eating it....

I couldnt pass it up though...my first loaf came from Whole Foods. I figured I'd definately be w/out the temptation of that carboard (or is it styrofoam?) bread for the rest of the weekend since there is no Whole Foods near my house. But noooooo....I go to my "regular" grocery store and lo and behold they have it....and not only do they have it...but its on sale. I'm all for getting deals on the cardboard stuff so I bought 2 loaves! :D

Yeah and even on sale the fake bread cardboard stuff is almost 5 bucks! :o

Almost seems like they should give it away....seeing how some people wouldnt even eat it if you payed them to.

premature post

The only thing I've found Ener-g bread good for is stuffing for a turkey and sausage/egg casserole. It breaks up really easy, and you're not using the bread for taste, anyway.

I used to eat that much.....well, maybe not, the parentals wouldn't have let me :angry: ....they knew if I ate that much I'd be in bed sick <_< I will eat an entire bag of M&M's. Now I'm not talking the little one bite bags...I'm talking the big medium size bags. I don't think it's possoble to eat over one of those bags :( that would just be way too much. Are you going on withdrawl bc you got sick last time you ate it, or just bc you eat unhealthy amounts?

Morgan! Shhh, you're not supposed to know about Altoids.

PS scooping ice cream into a bowl is not pigging out. Eating a whole container like your mom does, is!!

I'm going through withdrawl cuz I want ice cream and I cant have it....not until tomorrow cuz my ice cream maker is like 80 miles away from me right now. Tomorrow me and my ice cream maker will be reunited and I will feel much more at peace....albeit a little brain-freezed. :D

You didn't have a container dedicated to me <_< .....If I would have sat down that full 1/2 gallon container, someone would have yelled at me. As a result, I was forced to use the scoop that was put through the deglutenator, to scoop me some ice cream into a mug.

Yea, Dad ... I was in bed when you ate it. I'm up again ... just feel like garbage, but not tired.

For those of you not in my living room, Morgan and I are sitting next to each other on our laptops. :lol:

Ok...I also would have been in trouble if I used the types of bowls that Dad used to use. I may as well have just taken the container and eaten out of it

So you make your own ice cream!!!!!!! :D I'm so jealous....it's no wonder you can't help but pig out. Homemade ice cream is the best :D I've only had it once, but I just about died it was so good

I'm with that group. If we don't hear from you for awhile we'll now you're too sick to come online. Of course you'll have to have The Dave come on here and let us know that not only are you to sick to be on the board, but you are also too sick to go to work. :P

PS Notice the order of importance. :lol:

This is a post-mature and a pre-mature post.............so here it is:

Glad to start off with Racheville - went to a wedding at Hilton Head this weekend. Ohhh, love the trees. Saw my first allagator is the wild, black squirrel, and an ARMADILLO (sp) whoa.

Wizzzed through the posts as got in late and needed to check in.

As Senator, I am sitting in my office reading the celiac site and have not a freaking thing to do. So, with that said, I need another job. With no legislation, now rules....well geese and whatever, but that's the mayors issue.

(not a new job tomorrow, I have to do my real job and make them very very angry and tell then that they have to redo their storefronts)....yeah, I'm, the one that everyone like to hate... Yah, know, preservation, type stuff.. they will thank me in about 100 year.!!!! <_<

That's where we honeymooned but the only wild animal I saw there was the one I'd just married!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @knitty kitty Thank you for your response!!  So do you think my doctor might still diagnose celiac even with the negative biopsy?  At this point I'm just wondering like do I have to be super careful when I eat places for cross-contamination, or do I just have to eat gluten free and not worry about the damage so much as the symptoms, you know?  Like with celiac I know my body is attacking itself and doing damage (although apparently not haha) and with an intolerance it certainly doesn't feel good, but it's not doing the same kind of damage, you know? I sent a message to the doctor asking if I should do a video capsule endoscopy or if we should have a second opinion on the pathology but ugh, I just want a clear answer so whatever it is, I can move forward!!

      Newly Diagnosed

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first because our body can't store it for more than three weeks and our metabolic needs for Thiamine increase when we're physically sick or emotionally stressed, so we can become depleted quickly.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include gallbladder problems and all the ones list above.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.   Ask for a DNA test to check for any known genes for Celiac Disease.  You have to have at least one gene for celiac disease to develop.  You don't have to be eating gluten for a DNA test.  Your genes don't change.  If you don't have any celiac disease genes, you can focus on other reasons for your illness.  If you do have celiac disease genes, with your positive blood test results, you, your doctors and nutritionist can focus on correcting nutritional deficiencies which will help you heal and feel better.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  Celiac Disease can be diagnosed using genetic testing and response to a gluten free diet!  I'm seronegative, but DQ 2.5.  My doctors were clueless.  They didn't see any classic textbook damage, so didn't bother to biopsy.  Ack!    This study followed people who showed no or little damage at first....they accrued more damage. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      Gluten-Free Drinks

      By JulieB11 · Posted

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?
