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.

red bats + blue bats = purple glittery bats :lol:

I love it

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

Well of course you couldn't pass up a deal, especially for cardboard being passed off as bread

:lol::lol:

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

It just doesnt seem right. <_<

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!!

Don't they sell cardboard for less than that???

Yea, but ours aren't huge like soup bowls, they're just huge coffee cups of the Starbucks variety ... Morgan's idea of pigging out and ours are two different things!!! :lol:

Rachel--24 Collaborator

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.!!!! <_<

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
