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. :)

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!!! :)

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!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Blood results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/
