Congratulations Dave!!! But you still need to behave B)

I just finished unpacking :D ....I'm settled. I just need to go get my books tomorrow and then I'm officially ready for anything. I went out last night with various people (not getting into trouble of course), but I decided that tonight I need to get my internet working, get my class list, and finish unpacking. I succeeded in everything except getting my class list....I was THREE minutes too late!!!!!

Hi Mango!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any news on those almond meal muffins??? Hope you are doing fabulous

Hello hello :):) Well, about the muffins, I just moved into a house that happens to be about a block away from the place that sells them :o:D I swear I did not plan this on purpose :ph34r:, but I'm not complaining either. I'll keep you all updated on the muffin news as I continue recipe investigations :P

So...I started this new job that I really like, but I find it funny (yes I'm easily amused) that they often send me out to buy massive quantities of milk and biscuits. The first time I had to buy the milk I was a bit scared I was going to get the wrong thing b/c I've never really purchased milk before. :unsure: It was a totally foreign thing to me LOL Today I had to buy nine packages of chocolate biscuits. I don't know what my job title is (purchaser of the office gluten and casein?) I'm working for an accounting firm. I don't know what they do with all this stuff :huh: but I get paid well so I don't really question anything. The happy thing about the biscuit mission is I discovered an organic gluten-free cafe on my way to the store :). How ironic. Ooh I gotta run (they're probably about to send me to buy bread or something). Catch ya all later

Glad to hear that everything is going well and that you got a new job! That's great that you got a house. Should be much easier for you as far as cc issues. We will continue to await your muffin investigation. :D

Not at all ;)

;) No problem at all...I didn't realize it had it on the site....

Thanks for asking.... I passed the test. :D

I actually am not sure if it is on the website. I think I just didn't know where to begin to explain it. Oh, congrats also!

Incredible Edible Gluten-free Food for Kids Banana Bread by Sheri L. Sanderson

Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca starch

1/4 cup potato starch

2/3 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp xanthan gum

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup shortening

2 tbsp milk

2 eggs

1 c mashed bananas (2-3 med.)

1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Method:

In a large bowl. combine brown rice flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly.

In another bowl, combine the milk and eggs, beating slightly.

Add half of the milk mixture. With an electric mixer, beat to combine. Add half the mashed banana and beat to combine. Repeat with remaining milk mixture and banana, beating between additions.

Beat the batter on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add nuts, if desired, and combine.

Pour into a greased loaf pan or three greased mini-loaf pans. Bake at 375 for 55-6- min. for a large loaf or 40-50 min. for mini-loaves or until toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Cool for 10 min. on wire rack. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack before slicing.

Slice and store in an air-tight container or zip style bag in the refrigerator for a week to ten days.

~Linda's notes: I usually put in at least 1/2 of a personal size plain, unflavoured yogurt for protein and moistness. If I don't have yogurt I'll put in plain, unsweetened applesauce. I've never made a bad batch of these, and I bake this recipe every 3-4 weeks.

~I use small loaf pans. Four small loaves attached together in one pan. Each loaf is about 3"wide x 6"long x 2"deep. (I bake for 45 min.)

Good girl Morgan! The social scene has a way of sucking you in, it's great that you have your priorities set. If you balance the two you will do fine. I had a hard time myself doing that :ph34r:

How fabulous you live near the bakery of the oh so yummy almond meal muffins, now that is good thinking :lol: Hopefully you can get a recipe out of it for us.

I'm so glad you like your new job, sounds like an improvement from the last one :lol: They must like their milk and biscuits.

Let us know if and when you try out that gluten-free cafe.

Hi Susan W, good to see you :)

Hi Tavi, how are you doing? We had quite a few tumbleweeds blow through the ville the last couple days, really quiet around here, so you will be busy :lol: how is that "to do" list coming along? Cross anything off yet?

Thanks for the recipe Linda, looks interesting.

Good morning Andrea :):)

There's no way to tell. It was bad before. It started a couple months ago ... I got off casein and it got worse. I've been tired and foggy ever since. Then it started to get a little better, and I got sick, Morgan got it, too, so I know it was a bug. Then I was still feeling bad in NC at my grandmothers and came home and still felt bad. I attributed it to probable glutening there (Chloe and Morgan both got d while we were there). So, I don't know if the ice cream bar will add to it or not. I don't really know if it's glutening, or something else. I've felt really bad to the point that I can't do much for quite some time now. Either one thing is running into the next, or I'm going through major detoxing. I'm eating very clean now and never away from home, so hopefully it will clear up soon, or I'll have to start figuring out what's happening.

Hmmm, my job is being a wife and mom, and considering I came out of college with a husband, I guess my "job" there got me my "job" now!! :lol:

Yeah, I basically came out of college with an $80,000 MRS degree <_<

And I'm good at planning stuff. And my degree (Poli Sci) made me cynical and able to BS anything. Yup, that was worthwhile :rolleyes:

Well, if I hadn't gone to that college, I wouldn't have met my husband, so I guess it was worth it :)

It was apparently also worthwhile for DH, since I ask him if it was every month when he writes that student loan check :P

Interesting? <_< That's what people used to say about my dog instead of coming right out and saying they thought he was ugly. Of course he was beautiful. DingoGirl might have appreciated him - he was 1/2 blue heeler.

Sorry Julie. I guess I was expecting something like "I hate bananas" or "looks yummy". I have a problem with "interesting". I don't mean to be a smarta$$. (But it's better than being a dumba$$ :P )

Carla, I hope you're better before the Commodores tonight.

I guess you and Chelsea both got your MRS degree in college. :P

It's so frustrating trying to figure out what is making us still so sick. I am just recently off casein, over a month now. I'm not feeling any ill effects yet, but I did hear detoxing from dairy can be rough. Some of these flus and viruses going around can also be pretty potent and linger, so it could be that also. Take good care of yourself and hope it turns around for you very soon :)

Hi Chelse, how is gluten-free life going for you?

Hi Julie :)

So far, not so good. I feel like hammered sh--! Wednesday night my stomach started to hurt a little (my "aura" for knowing the pyloric spams were coming) so I took a phenergan and hoped for the best. I spent all but 4 hours asleep yesterday, because I had to take 3 more doses of phenergan to get it to stop. I don't know that it's ever been that bad, I was ridiculously weak. Today I started out ok and then about an hour after I got to work my stomach started hurting again and I'm REALLY nauseous. And sleepy. Making it very difficult to actually work. I'm hoping to get stuff done so I can go home and go to bed :(

I wish I knew what caused the spasms, nobody has been able to figure it out. The anti-spasmodics don't even TOUCH them. So frustrating. I just have to live with having these flares I guess.

AndreaB Contributor

Hi Julie,

I'm in and out of here, just keeping up. I've been working on updateing the checkbook :ph34r: . I've got to order some more things for Talitha for school (and fun stuff for Micah) and still make the phonics group cards. I have flash cards but these are different. My handwriting is not good, to say the least. I might have to figure out how I can do it on the computer. Still got projects to do and school is in a week and a half. Mitch has fantastic handwriting so if I can't do the cards on the computer I'll have him do them. Why do I suspect my handwriting might get a little better going through school again? :P:lol:

Seth already erased this once for me and he's starting to fuss. The little boy was up last night for 2+ hours. He woke up around 11:30 and didn't go back to sleep til around 1:45 or so. I was not a happy camper and now he won't be today. He's saying mum....he wants his mommy. I'm off.

Sounds like a lot of folks are going through a rough spell right now. Karen had a post about joint pain too... I hope you all get some answers soon & find your way out of the pain. I really feel for you...

Well, I got an MRS degree, but I also got a BS in Business from IU ... I do balance our checkbook ... :) I also have a couple rental properties that we own and I do the work for ... if I ever feel better I'm going to buy a couple more and also do fixer uppers ... so my business degree will finally go to work! There's a house down the street from us I'd like to buy, but I don't have the energy to go look at it. It would be a buy-fix up- resell house. It's a one-story cape-cod, so could easily be converted to a 3 brm-2ba instead of 2 brm-1ba. I'd have to do the math, get estimates, etc., which I just can't do right now ....

Oh Chelse, I'm so sorry. I imagine your intestinal tract took a severe beating with all of the gluten for so long, so things have to be pretty stirred up. I don't really know much about the spasms (sounds a little bit like Rachel's alien baby), I would think it was from an irritant of some kind? It has to be very frustrating for you. Hopefully as you continue with the gluten-free diet you will heal and see some improvement. Hang in there!

      Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to...

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of...

      @trents I do like the idea of the shake!  yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state.    @RMJ how impressive to be able to make all those baked goods! I’ve been tasting some gluten free items. There is one thing I found that’s good and it’s Siete Cinnamon churro chips put over ice cream with chocolate syrup . Tastes like fried ice cream!  I’ve also noticed so many more things have a “gluten free” symbol on them. Restaurants mostly but also a lot of...

      I can’t imagine eating 4-6 slices of bread per day, either.  You just need wheat, it doesn’t have to be bread and it doesn’t have to whole wheat. If a piece of cake or a doughnut is about the same size as a slice of bread it’s probably roughly equivalent. Or you could do what Trents suggests and just buy powdered gluten. Gliadin X can help by “digesting” small amounts of gluten contamination.  You would NOT want to take it while eating bread/cake/doughnuts in preparation for an endoscopy because it could make your body react less. I have finally figured out how to make a number of gluten free baked goods. Cakes, cream puffs . . . My neighbors know they are...

      @Shining My Light, what do you mean when you say "the blood test not being 100%"? Were you expecting all possible celiac blood antibody tests to be positive in the case of someone who actually does have celiac disease? That seldom, if ever, happens. You are gauging too much on how you feel when you consume gluten and not paying enough attention to test results. If the idea of eating 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily to get 10g of gluten is repulsive to you then go the health food store and buy powdered gluten, weigh it out on a food scale, and make shakes with it. Many report that Gliadin X helps them in a significant way to ward off unpleasant reactions to minor gluten...
