THREE new gluten-free beers to try!!!!!!

I'm in heaven!!

Man, that must be wonderful. We've got one kind, La Messagere, and it's only available in Quebec. It's also, according to DH, no screaming hell. He now accompanies me in a nightly glass of dry white. He is slowly becoming a girly-man with this dietary change....lots more veggies through the day, very little bread, and HARDLY ANY PHARTING!! Five or six a day, mefinks. :)

More to come .. . .. .trying to de-vortex a bit from yesterday!!!!!!

I hear you...it can be a true detoxification.... :rolleyes::lol:

I found you some Open Original Shared Link, Tom . . . and they are all the rage now, so nobody will be pointing and laughing. Howevah . . . 30 years from now when you are wearing them with your green tube socks and green shorts pulled up to your armpits . . . well, that's a different story.

Tom'll have the last laugh, as he'll be a bizarre-looking millionaire......

Actually, I think I would be out . . . do you realize that if you're not picking out your clothes, you have to wear whatever hideous clothing (color or style) that they give you . . . they could dress you up as a Open Original Shared Link . . if I got to pick out my own, I'd do it.

Well, perhaps one could have some input with clothing style. I'll run it past Jack when he gets home. Get back to ya. :lol:

Well, I sent him to school!!! Yes!! That's right!!

Good one, Janet. If they're well enough to be chasing gremlins, they can be sitting semi-conscious at their school desks... :lol:

...Aren't gremlins green?......

Speaking of greenness, and school, when my DD was in grade two I drove her up to school one morning as she complained of a "swirly tummy" and constantly pleaded to stay home and watch movies. I stopped in front of the school, she opened the car door, complaining and whining, got out and trudged to the school door. I started to pull away and as I glanced once more at the door, I saw her just closing it behind her, and her head suddenly snapping forward. Vomit...all over the front hallway. :o

So. She watched movies all day, after all.

****Mother of the Year*****

Thank goodness I've never done anything like that!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

A friend of mine is turning 40 and her hubby is throwing a party. Here are some quotes that were on the invitation:

At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn't thinking of us at all.

Life begins at 40 - but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.

The best years of a woman's life - the ten years between 39 and 40.

I think our dingoduo will BOTH enjoy the Buble show - dare I say immensely? No flask req'd.

Man, that must be wonderful. We've got one kind, La Messagere, and it's only available in Quebec.

Aha!!!!! Once at an esp LARGE BevMo I was looking for it. :angry: Bah!

.. . .and HARDLY ANY PHARTING!! Five or six a day, mefinks. :)

So he's sold on the gluten-free diet??? (Or just everyone else w/in range is sold?)

Well, perhaps one could have some input with clothing style. I'll run it past Jack when he gets home. Get back to ya. :lol:

I thought was a given. Someone else may like lime green!!! :ph34r:

There are greens that can create the sensation of pain in the unfortunate observer's retinal penumbra, so to speak!! :blink: :blink:

No one can forget the great Forum Color-Scheme Change backlash of aught-seven!!!!!!!!

Funny from mom:

Ethel was a bit of a demon in her wheelchair, and loved to charge around the nursing home, taking corners on one wheel and getting up to maximum speed on the long corridors.

Because the poor woman was one sandwich short of a picnic ' the other residents tolerated her and some of them actually joined in.

One day Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a door opened ! and Koo ky Clarence stepped out with his arm outstretched. 'STOP!' he shouted in a firm voice. 'Have you got a license for that thing?'

Ethel fished around in her handbag and pulled out a Kit Kat wrapper and held it up to him. 'OK' he said, and away Ethel sped down the hall.

As she took the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel, weird Harold popped out in front of her and shouted 'STOP! Have you got proof of insurance?'

Ethel dug into her handbag, pulled out a drink coaster and held it up to him. Harold nodded and said 'On your way, Ma'am.'

As Ethel neared the final corridor, Crazy Craig stepped out in front of her, Buck- Naked, and holding his 'You-Know-What' in his hand.

Oh, good grief,' yelled Ethel, 'Not that Damn Breathalyzer Test again!'

Since the assigned day for the First Absinthe-Enlightened Royal Inaugural Event is decidedly dis-static, I deign that Dingy's & SquatsW/Same shall participate prior to The Play!!!!!!!

(Isn't there a BevMo in town??)

Just one or two tho - Oscar Wilde's quote is that "One drink & you see things as you wish they were. Two drinks & you see things as they are not"

I should think EYE-thur should suffice.

prior participation is a must ! and such sound advice should not go unheaded! ;)

Squats - I like your new av. My MaggieDog used to sit like that on stairs sometimes. Always cracked me up when she did that.

ty ty ty :rolleyes:

Front St Pub does serve the best seafood in Santa Cruz. That area has changed so much over the years. From the time our highschool group could drive, we would either head to santa cruz or up to stinson beach.

Open Original Shared Link

it really is amazing to see the changes in both places.

where did you grow up Tom?

Grew up in Chicago but started visiting s.Cruz in '88 after <shudder> moving to Salinas from Tucson after college. Moved to SJ area 2 yrs later.

I do remember pre-earthquake s.Cruz.

Monterey's Cannery Row has changed more, for my money. Hate that big complex @ Cannery Row that blocks the view from the Wherehouse, above Doc Rickett's.

Only saw Stinson once, but have heard many good things.

Front St. Pub vanished ~4yrs ago. :(

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. 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.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
