Actually, almost exactly 1/2 way betweeen Albany and Binghamton on I-88. We used to go out to Keuka Lake (Penn Yan) to a cousin's cottage as a summer getaway when I was a kid. Nice area out there. I LOVE Bully Hill Wine!

I think I was thinking of Oneida, some of the Indian names get confusing.

Bully Hill is great as a number of other area wines. We are near Naples and they have a wonderful Grape festival every year. I have been told the Italians found it to be much like Italy when they came here and the climate is great for the grape. If I am ever able to take day trips again I would like to do a wine tour myself, there are trains that have recently started runs in season with blues music that sound like fun. I've lived all over the country and upstate NY is one of the prettiest and cheapest places I have lived, as long as you don't mind the NY taxes. Hard to make non NYers understand sometimes that all of NY is not NYC.

Where was your picture taken? It is really pretty, is it the Catskills?

My husband and I are both from Syracuse--our families are still there. We used to have family picnics at Keuka Lake years ago--my mom's family also has people in Owego and Auburn.

Ravenwood--you're so right about how beautiful it is up there--especially this time of year.

I've been to the grapefest in Naples...never knew you could/would make a grape pie!

NY/NYC - uh huh!

Pic is from the Catskills last year. I prefer the Adirondacks (call me a mountain snob! :lol: ), but the Catskills are closer (and easier on the knees!).

This is kind of off the topic--but it happened in Syracuse :D And has to do with grapes....

My ex-sister in law <_< once made a "blueberry" pie and brought it to a family dinner. At the time, she was new to the group, so we were all on our best behavior. Anyway, we begin to eat the pie, and crunched into all these little seeds--unexpected because we were thinking blueberries! And you could tell no one wanted to say anything!!

The nut had mistakenly bought grapes instead :blink: --it actually had a good taste, but that texture left a lot to be desired :lol:

One of my ex-girlfiends (a nut herself) pulled a similar stunt with cherries in a cherry pie. She didn't pit them...Ouch

The land of the snow. It must be nice to be so close to the falls. You are new, let me take this chance to welcome you. You have found a great place for info with a lot of very nice folks.

i love niagara on the lake, but can do without the falls. some 'hidden' parts are nice. i live on the canadian side, though. the american side, in my opinion, is really grungy. although i am sure there are hidden parts on there i dont know, too.

Now im off to get some gluten free recipes... and just in time for the Hollidays...This is going to be interesting...

Hi and welcome to the board :D Always great to meet a fellow Central New Yorker B)

I'm glad you found a doctor who will listen and work with you--you're right, that's half the battle right there! Yes, read up on the recipes and the products forums--lots of great info there. Good luck on the tests, and feel free to post with any questions you might have. Last year was my first gluten-free, so I know that the holidays can be successfully done on the diet.

Let us know how your tests come out :)

Don't know NY very well, I am originally from Toronto, but now live about 1 hr east of Toronto. The only time I have been to NY is when I played baseball. We used to play tournaments on the weekend, and after playing 3 games on a Saturday, we would go home, shower and change and then drive down to Buffalo to party for the night at a place called "The Library". We had designated drivers so the rest of us could have a blast. We would get home around 3 a.m. and be up at 6:00 a.m. to play a 7:00 a.m. game!!!! Ahhhhh, those were the days!

The only other thing I am aware of in NY is my niece goes to university there, in Ithaca, NY. Anyone near there?

Hugs.

Karen

Hi all, I am from Conklin, NY. Did anyone else get hit by the June flood. Boy it is hard being gluten-free in a FEMA trailer. Major break out of DH going on and it is miserable. Almost back in the house though

      How Celiac Disease Impacts Bone Health: What You Need to Know

      4.5 years ago I had 2 vertebrae fractures. After several months, 4 doctors, and numerous tests, it was determined that the root cause of my fractures was long term undiagnosed celiac. My DEXA tests 4 years ago showed significant osteoporosis; -3.3 T-score on my left hip. I had to wait 5 months before going gluten free. After wearing a back brace for ...

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Thanks for the update, Ben. If you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the blood testing - and this would be the normal protocol - you will still need to continue the gluten challenge until that is done.

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Update on how things went. To meet my daily quantity of gluten I had a measured amount of gluten flour with my breakfast and 2 slices of bread later in the day. I still had discomfort but it wasn't debilitating. My blood tests results came back this week and they were positive so I've been referred to a specialist.

      Hello, Ive been to the dermatologist ( two different ones) and now made appointment, soonest is NOVEMBER. Ive been dealing  with skin issues for a while and its getting  worse because nothing has worked.I feel the bumps, gently squeeze and a itty bitty hard thing is coming out.I took a picture and did close up and in the MANY pictures ive taken this past few days, there's a " string" type thing at the end. I FEEL IT COMING OUT.... At first few pic it looks like hair, its not.Its  part of what ever is in my skin...I did call my Dr yesterday and will be seeing him this Monday. What test should I request to see what the hell is causing my skin to have?I don't know what to call it.I do sleep with my indoor cats.I also have an inheritance cat two years ago who took to sleeping with me as well.I also was on topiramate but had to stop because of speech issues, memory and it can affect those with  kidney stones. I did suffer kidney stones in past.So i had to completely stop.Since freaking out of what i KNOW what I saw, i took matters in my own hands and decided to eat several whole cloves a day.Since doing so, though im not to eat garlic.My skin is actually clearing up sloooooooooowly.but then again I just started 4 days ago and already notice a difference. My husband thinks im seeing things.I know what I see and feel. what test is there to ask doctor about what is in my skin? Husband thinks im seeing things, because of the meningioma and stopping meds.i know what i saw.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      By Name · Posted

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.
