(I checked, but if I were rich enough to have a gardener I'd like to think he'd be tinker worthy B):lol: )

Yes.....With hired gardeners, tinkering potential can vary greatly. One would tinker wif him:

Here's sumfin cute (no not Gene Simmons)

I take it you already know,

Of tough and bough and cough and dough.

Others may stumble, but not you,

On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.

Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,

To learn of less familiar traps.

Beware of heard, a dreadful word,

That looks like beard and sounds like bird.

And dead - it

Tryin' the day with minimal drugs. I need to restart my methotrexate and I didn't want to do that while taking handfuls of ibuprofen (they don't play well together).

So had half a vicodin and one ibuprofen. I'll see how that works out. May entail even more lounging about than previously described (if that's possible :P ).

Maybe Nikki could hook you up with whatever was in her Turkish hookah? :huh::lol:

Take good care of yerself, get lots of rest and lounge well today Jess, lounge well!!!!!!!!

Let's think about oats, then. I said oats, not goats.

Here in Canada there is no such thing as gluten-free oats. In Canada, by law, a product labeled as, or represented to be, "gluten free" can not contain wheat, rye, barley, oats, or any derivative part thereof, period. There is no maximum level, it simply can not be there at all, even if the proteins are processed out somehow, such as by distillation.

There is a company here, Open Original Shared Link, that sells "guaranteed pure oat products."

A number of factors contribute to higher cost. The crop must be grown in dedicated fields, not in rotation with a gluten grain. The harvesting equipment, transportation vehicles, milling equipment and storage facilities are isolated and dedicated. The purity is regularly tested to ensure no contamination has crept in. Details of the process and how the goal is achieved can be found on the Open Original Shared Link

Of course, all of these extra precautions cost extra. I would imagine that the two US companies that produce the same product have similar processes.

You were thrilled about finding gluten free tomato sauce, and then went on to eat regular bread. Eating regular bread would be far worse than getting the small amount of wheat you might find in tomato sauce, are you crazy?

So while I had to get work done this afternoon I missed that Bev is a hippie....I always miss the good stuff!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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.
