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.

Thank you! I will have to find that. It sounds yummy.

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!

I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow.
