Thanks Vincent!

I'll have to see what hubby thinks of that one.

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

You have a point, and a very good one I might add.

Cashews are good though.

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?

I don't think the Chai-nog mix has any egg in it. It's not listed as an ingredient. It's awesome, no need for cream. I bet rice milk would be fine in it.

Maybe the soy could be replaced with almond or rice milk. I can have eggs!

BTW Liz, welcome to the thread!! Please join in, we have a blast!!

It's not egg nog though, it's a chai latte. It does give you a bit of holiday flavor, but it's not eggnog.

So, Patti, almond milk does foam, not exactly the same as dairy, but it's still foam! Now, what was that thread called?

OK, I'm back! I had to put a pot roast in the oven, and take care of a few other things. So, I'm sitting here *with my hair up in a spring-clip*....

Great Carla--it's good to know the almond milk foams! The thread--it was started by mouse--can't remember the name.

Just add "milk"

...and yes, it is gluten free!

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

Open Original Shared Link

Enjoy!

That looks good--it would work with Vance's, Im sure. I do a similar thing with Stash's Chai Spice tea, sugar and Vance's. It's pretty good. I do miss the Chai Lattes at Starbucks :(

Hi Liz! :D

I think the almond milk may be too much right now for my tender tummy ... I feel nauseous ... not bad, but not as comfortable as I've been feeling lately. Back to meat and veggies :(

Yea, probably too soon :( It takes a lot of time on the whole foods to be able to sneak in a treat. You're able to use the Vance's, right?

Yea, Vance's is fine. So is almond butter. I didn't even think the almond milk would be a problem since both of those are fine! Plus, I eat lots of herbs and spices that you wouldn't think would be good for a tender tummy and do fine with those.

Guess I ought to wait for my coffee, too. :(

I found there was a lot of idle time with homeschooling .... I did lots of computer work (back then I was directing youth groups, I'm on somewhat of a leave of absence right now) during school hours. I couldn't do the phone work, but computer stuff fits in nicely.

Pot Roast sounds delicious Patti!(sorry any veggies).I'm assuming it's what we (Brits) would call a 'roast dinner'.

We have 'a roast' every Sunday with veg and roast potatoes.(I don't know if that's a Brit thing to always have that on Sun? :blink: )

My favourite is roast beef-yum! :P

BTW Patti,I'm sure your hair looks great up in a clip.Good advise from Carla!

I often put mine up in a clip when it's getting on my nerves/can't make it behave!!

:lol:

It was good, Nikki :P

Sounds like we do our roasts the same way! I brown the meat with chopped onion then add potatoes and carrots and cook slowly in the oven for about 3 hours. Great leftovers, too ;)

My hair is just getting long enough in the back for a clip. I'd like to grow it back out, but have been tempted to have it cut and be done with it. Carla's my support person on this :D When I get weak and threaten to have it cut, she gives me a little "pep talk" :lol: Last night, my husband actually commented on the clip :o

Yea, but you almost snuck in there and got it cut without telling me!!! So, now I know, you really want to grow it out, but it's just at that hideous length that drives you crazy. I think I wore mine up every day at that length (and I'm not judging by your pic, just by your description).

Well, I'm going over to Indiana today to get my hair cut/colored -- at the salon where Morgan works, if you wonder why I still go over there!! I figured with Morgan in school there and since the lady over there who I've been going to for 6 years is so good with color, that I wouldn't change when we moved. So, Adam and I are going over there and spending the night in the guest room of my old sorority house (he always wanted to spend the night there .... I'd never let him :rolleyes: , finally, he gets to!!! :lol: ). They've also been trying to recruit Morgan .... she went over there yesterday to watch Grey's Anatomy with them. Anyway, I'll be gone till late tomorrow. Have a great day guys (that means y'all, Lynne)!

Bummer. :(

I hope you feel better :)

I hope it wasn't due to all this talk of egg nog and ice cream (on OMG).

I'm finally feeling better from my weekend CC. My wife is sick with THE CRUD. (Cough,fever, goobery nose, etc.) She had an awful night last night. Hacking, snoring, snorting it got so bad I had to move to the couch at 2 AM. I asked her how she felt this morning, and she said she had one of her best night's sleep for the week. She was serious! :huh: I mumbled something like, "must be nice" She seems better this morning, so hopefully I can get some sleep tonight. I haven't been sleeping well all week, so i'm dragging, and she's been dragging right behind me. I'm sure it won't be long before I succumb to the crud as well. Boo-hoo :(

I am looking forward to Monday. (I bet that has never been said before) I pick up my gluten-free order and I might take the day off. Our main database is down and to be upgraded, so I'm not doing anything at work anyway. (Hence my frequent postings here) I'll get to spend a daddy-daughter day with Madeline (my 2 1/2 y.o.) We always (like 3x a year!) go to McD's to play on the indoor playground (and get a happy meal). Has anyone evr had to rescue a child from the upper reaches of one of those tube thingys? Now that is entertaining! :P

Yes, we've all been in those tube thingies. You feel like you need a shower afterwards ... all those kids in there, has to be dirtier than a shopping cart handle!! :blink:

Have fun on Monday! Glad you're feeling better.

I think the almond milk, or maybe the tea, it was a different brand. Strange, except for gluten and dairy, my stomach's never been easily upset, that was a totally new thing. I'll see how it goes Sunday, I may still have my coffee.

Yuck! I think it should be a requirement for a kid to spend sometime in one of those places. They get exposed to all those germs, it makes Kindergarten less of a shock to their systems! But oooohhhhh how dirty the socks get! The big up-side is that she will be so worn out after playing that she (we) will take a nice nap later in the day. So it's setting up to be a big day, Donuts (No BEER ;) ), McD's, Playground, nice long nap, maybe play in the leaves. I can't wait for Monday!

      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!
