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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
