Morgan -- I sympathize with the sweet tooth thing. I went crazy when I discovered gluten free ginger bread cookies.

Carla -- Sorry to hear you got sick on your trip. :( It's hard to enjoy yorself when you're not feeling well!

I have to clarify that is is not OUR restort in that we don't own it. We call it that since it was so small and intimate we felt we were there by ourselves. There were only abot 200 rooms, and the place was so out of the way...adutls only to boot. ;):D:D

Well, found out today that they WILL be able to provide for gluten free items in Greenland. YEAH!! :D

Work is calling, and I so do NOT want to be here today. Almost 30 degrees out ( 82 Farenheit ) and I am stuck inside in the dark. :blink:

Just a drive by post, I have not read the 55 pages and frankly probably wont :lol: been doing some paint/remodling work and have my ASL and FIATH class, plus my 2 jobs and my son... not had time to keep up wtih all you post-a-holics LOL

( I did a search on my name though, foudn only a few posts... so figured I should post somthing before you completely forget me....)

Didn't forget you. I posted something for you but can't remember now what it was :huh::huh::huh:

Yay, the B girls are back, and in rare form at that :) Sorry you are still sick Carla, feel better soon. Morgan, I also understand Racheling the sugar. I just can't handle sugar well at all, when I eat it I want more of it, so I try to stay away from it as much as I can. I know, better said than done-- especially when you find something so yummy, it's hard to stop. But I feel so much better off of it, and when I do eat it from time to time I get sooo sick, so I know it is definitely a problem for me.

Andrea, thanks for sharing your horse collection with us. After seeing the movie Hidalgo I am a fan of the wild mustang.

Ryan, "your" resort sounds like a great place :lol::)

We can never forget Vincent :lol:

Ok I caught up, except for about 7 pages somewhere in the 30's, but I think I'll just miss those forever.

OK..put up the first pic...me and my lavander dress at my Moms wedding. You cant see my shoes though...they got cut off. I will try to make the pic more clear later.

How do I write something under my pic??

Rachel, you look so pretty :) you look like an angel

I missed it. Have to share the computer with Mitch and I'm missing out on the fun.

Dave,

Very pretty. Aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

They are adorable!

I missed it too :( It took me a little while to figure out why everyone was upset about the dogs, but I soon figured out they were actually upset about the picture of Rachel :lol::lol::lol:

I'm quoting myself! :lol: Not only do I have to STOP going to bed at 8:00, I may have to quite premature posting...after this I noticed the discussion on how TheDave stole Rachel's picture...um, the only picture I saw were the cute puppies...so Rachel, I wasn't talking about you when I wrote this comment.

exactly :P

Momma Goose is STRESSED. We have decided to down size and sell our house. We have found another that we like every much but it is much smaller, likewise price. But it's like putting 10 lbs of spinach into a 5lbs bag.... :blink::blink: And my GERD is acting up like hell fire. Meeting with a Realitor tomorrow to see if others think our home is as valuable as we do

If it wasn't so hard to get off Lexipro, I'd wish for it back.

Sorry Susan, if I appeared snippy. I was in so much discomfort that it was hard to breath, much less laugh at everyone who could belch. Everyone was belching on line and I just needed just one to feel better.

Still belchless, Lisa

ok, I'm confused :huh: maybe I read too fast and missed something....when did the balching happen?

i just posted this in the gab room

I will only be checking this once a day at the most, i probably will not be posting at all.

I have 3 APs and 2 honors classes so i will be gone this entire school year.

i will check my e-mail and write back if people have questions.

O-man :o sounds like quite a year...we'll miss you

Everyone knew to stay clear of the boardroom from 12:45 to 1:00 p.m.!!!!!

:lol::lol: that would be useful information

Is it my imagination or does one have darker hair than the other? Just asking cause one of my twins is blond & the other brunet... yours look more alike than mine do though. I actually had people refuse to believe they were twins!

For a few years, people thought that two of my sisters were twins. They were two years apart and one had curly hair while the other had straight hair. One time someone asked if they were twins and they just looked at each other for a few seconds and then just cracked up laughing. They were laughing so hard that my brother and I had to explain there age difference. The lady that asked was so embarrassed :lol:

Yay, the B girls are back, and in rare form at that :) Sorry you are still sick Carla, feel better soon. Morgan, I also understand Racheling the sugar.

But I feel so much better off of it, and when I do eat it from time to time I get sooo sick, so I know it is definitely a problem for me.

I have decided that tomorrow I will not have any sugar, except for the fruit that I eat for breakfast. I am telling everyone on here bc I figure the more people I tell, the more likely it will be that I'll follow through. I'll probably give updates as the day goes on to keep myself going <_<;)B) I just love sugar :wub: especially chocolate. Now I'm just looking for something to take it's place :angry: this is causing me to eat even more sugar than I did when I just ate the dang chocolate

This has happened for years ... one is 11, the other 13, and they've gotten this since they were really little. The 11 year old is a normal size for her age, the 13 (Chloe) is very petite and is the gluten intolerant one. If you just looked over my kids and I told you to guess which one had the gluten problem, Chloe is the one you'd guess just because of her size. What really irritates Chloe is when we're out at a restaurant and they bring her a kid's cup and her younger sister a regular one!

:lol: Morgan

Now you know we are going to have to hold you to this....

I eat fruit to replace sugar. Also, once in a while, I will have some raw honey if I need to have something sweet, I'll mix a little in some almond butter.

One of my twins was MUCH smaller & thinner than the other & boy, did he get tired of hearing strangers say "Oh! You're TWINS!!?? I thought you were maybe two years younger than your brother!" (It's hard enough for a girl to be small for her age but there's more of a stigma for boys...)

Then in 9th grade he suddenly started growing a mile a minute, & a couple of years later, he was almost as tall as his bro. Meanwhile, the bigger twin was losing his baby fat as he grew, so now their bodies are much more alike than they ever were before. And the blond's hair darkened, the brunet's lightened slightly, so at age 19 they finally pass for twins!

Yea, she asked me to hold her to it ... I didn't even get out of bed till 2PM today, so I told her that she'd need to post it because she might have eaten all the sugar in the kitchen by the time I come downstairs!!

Morgan,

Why are you giving up chocolate? Did I forget? :unsure:

Not really, just moved downstairs. I thought I was getting over my virus, then went to my grandma's and must have gotten glutened. She tried really hard, so I kind of feel bad that I got glutened there ... but that had to be it. It got Morgan and Chloe, too, but they just get a little upset tummy with some d, then bounce back. Me, I'm usually down for about 8 days! I'm just sick of being sick :(

Morgan,

HA! Cause she's a pig!!! :lol:

I hope so...I need to go a day without it :blink: That's not a bad idea for a snack

yeah, it would be too easy <_<

Oh, I'm so sorry! It really is hard to be safe anywhere outside our own kitchens, isn't it... I hope your kids are taking good care of you... right Morgan?

Morgan cooked some eggs and gluten-free English muffins for me for lunch. Then on her way home from the pool she stopped by Wild Oats, bought dinner, then came home and cooked it!! What am I going to do when she goes off to college Wed.???? :(:(:(:(:(

Morgan,

Why are you giving up chocolate? Did I forget? :unsure:

*a special note...the dairy free chocolate is not the same as dairy filled chocolate. I can notice a large difference. I still eat the dairy free chocolate...just a tiny bite after a meal. When I say chocolate, I mean M&M's, heaths, hershys, and whatever else is dairy filled

I'm going to go on a casein challenge, since I eat dairy every day two meals a day....I most likely have a problem with it. So I'm testing it. This is my fourth successful day :) After a few weeks, I'll pig out

HA! Cause she's a pig!!! :lol:

Umm, yeah I am....with chocolate :rolleyes:

And meringue ...

Well I'm eating meringues bc I can't have the "real" chocolate <_<

Oh, what a sweetie! I know you'll miss her... & her cooking! At least you'll still be together on this forum, right?

One of mine just left too... but the other's college is on a quarter system so I get to have him around a little longer.

      @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.
