He'll probably do his thing where he quotes everything he wants to comment on and makes a VERY long single post from it!!! It'll take him all day, then it'll take us a week to read and comprehend the whole thing :lol::lol::lol:

OMG--that IS probably what he'll do! :D

I was wondering if I was in the wrong thread for some "adult" talk. ;)

I don't know about "adult" talk. We're not talking about Altoids or anything--just general gabbery :lol:

Do you think he'll be upset at the mess that we've made of this thread, or would he be upset if there was nobody here? I mean if you have to come home to a messy "house", isn't it better to walk in on a party?

There's adult, and then there's ADULT (looks around for Karen :ph34r: )

True--most likely he'll just jump right back in!

I think the "fart on a skillet" :blink: might illicit a comment from him!

I'm guessing you got tired of being the adult, and that's why you popped in over here! ;)

Or would it be that I'm the kid and playing on the computer too much? :blink::ph34r:

I don't know how you do it! When I was working (I quit to be a mommy in 1999), we had just gotten mailine computers (I worked for a bank, accounting) with windows. I always enjoyed minesweeper, which a coworker showed me. We always had to watch for the boss. I always got my work and others work done though. I spent some time reading too. :ph34r: When I worked there they were nice enough to let us have our own music (since we weren't on the teller line). They changed that the year after I left.

Our main database software is down for maintenance/upgrades (for 4 days) so there is not much I could be doing!

Unlike me and you, probably haveing a productive day getting things done out there in the real world some place....

Hey, I'm being productive, I'm resting and healing, that's my job right now!!!! Doctor's orders!!! And, I've been to the grocery, done a load of laundry, and the big task of feeding myself fresh food all day!

Richard, we can't have dairy!!! Or soy!!! But, yes, before I was off dairy, I loved them! I even loved eggnog lattes better!!

I am drinking a FOAMY spiced rooibos chai! It's very good! So, Patti, almond milk does foam, not exactly the same as dairy, but it's still foam! Now, what was that thread called?

Just add "milk"

...and yes, it is gluten free!

Or if you'd like to do it the hard way:

Enjoy!

Oh! Didn't even think of premade chai since I'm not supposed to have sugar! That can be made with almond milk! The stuff I've had is chai with real eggnog ... The stuff I'm making now is just chai tea that I brewed with almond milk. That sugary stuff is better, but can't have it!

What about the homemade recipe? (Could you replace the milk/cream with something)

I've only been a lurker on this thread, but had to come share your pain about no eggnog at Christmas. I haven't had eggnog for 10 Christmases and for some reason was just talking about it yesterday and feeling sorry for myself. Do you think there's any way to make "fakenog" with almond milk, thickener and spices?

Yea we need get my son re-tested for egg, I am holding on tight to the belief that he will out grow his egg allergy very soon! In fact might get him tested again nextmonth!

Oh man!!!! That's right....we can't have eggnog anymore. :(:(:angry:

We used to drink Silk Nog and are soy intolerant. We've gone dairy free as I'm dairy allergic, don't know about the kids yet. I suspect they are too since there enterolab scores were about the same as mine, which if I'm right would be mildly allergic.

:(:(:( So much for the party. :angry:

I'd have to look up some recipes online. I just sold a cookbook that had an eggnog recipe in it. It did use soy though, but if it had just been milk it would have been easy to sub.

I'm not sure it would be possible to make dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free "egg"nog. I'm positive that flax seeds and Ener-G egg replacer wouldn't work for it.

Chai nog

An Eggnog Alternative

2 Chai tea bags

5 cups water

2 tsp. grated fresh ginger

2 tsp. grated orange peel

1 tsp. grated lemon peel

2 sticks cinnamon, broken in half

1/4 cup honey

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups whipped cream

1 tsp. vanilla

In saucepan, bring water, ginger, peels, and

cinnamon to boil. Add tea bags and steep for

7 minutes. Add honey, vanilla, milk, and cream

to liquid. To serve hot, reheat liquid; or serve cold

over crushed ice. Makes 8 cups.

Could you use one of the milk alternitives in that?

Hmmm, rice or almond milk for the milk, but NOTHING is as yummy, rich, fatty or decadent as real whipped cream.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
