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

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.

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

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
