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'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!

You guys are hysterical.

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"

Open Original Shared Link

...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.

      Positive biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!
