Hi Sillies, just a poop by!

I had my nieces over for a sleepover (didnt get much sleep as little feet, hands, and bodies were kicking, hitting, and quite restless through the night :lol:) .....but I loved every minute of their visit of course.

Last night we had pop corn and watched the Spiderwick Chronicles, I thought it was a cute movie.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

Julie- the sleepover seems like fun, yes very little sleep :) Remember when we were kids, we used to try to stay up all night long! I dont think I ever made it, and certainly couldnt make it now. I do know that I have stayed up all night when I worked a double shift iin the hospital during a snow storm, I worked the 2nd shift and then all of 3rd shift. My butt dragged home and I had a hard time getting to bed....

Hello Psillies!!!!!!!! Pooping in to say hello. Hope all in the path of Gustav are safe :( I can't believe they have to evacuate New Orleans again. I hope it's a little easier on all in the path than katrina was.

Fishing Tale

Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took

place:

First guy: 'You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing

this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the

house next weekend.'

Second guy: 'That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I would build

her a new deck for the pool.'

Third guy: 'Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I

would remodel the kitchen for her.'

They continue to fish. When they realized that the fourth guy has not said a

word, they asked him. 'You haven't said anything about what you had to do to

be able to come fishing this weekend. What's the deal?'

Fourth guy: 'I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off

my alarm, gave the wife a slap on her butt and said:

'Fishing or Sex?' and she said: 'Wear sun-block.' :lol:

Good Holiday Monday, Sillies!! :):)

Well, as we were speaking fondly of that great piece of literature and film from our childhoods, The Wizard of Oz, I can continue by telling you all how Wicked was.... . . ..Amanda, you MUST go and see this incredible production!! I was thinking of you throughout it last night, and how enthralled you would be at the way the original story is carried and how the magic of the classic film continues here. Very special!

But I will forever miss Bert Llar as the cowardly lion..... . . . .don't think I've mentioned this :ph34r: , but I was one of the homeliest babies around, quite seriously.... . .everyone said I looked exactly like Bert Llar until I was about two. Now that's one ugly baby!! <_<:ph34r::lol:

Ahhh, yuck, Bev! :angry: But perhaps the breakout area will form a hazy visage about which you can contact the National Enquirer or the Examiner... . ....the face of Thomas Edison, or Sammy Davis Jr.,....... ..... . ..or Bert Llar, even... . . :lol::rolleyes:

Mornin' Everyone!!

Just checkin' in . . . I've been reading along but have not had anything worth posting . . .

Now, I have the results of the oatmeal cookie sampling. My first time making my oatmeal cookie recipe gluten free. Taste was fine and dandy. First half spread too much and got a bit too crispy. Second half (after adding a bit more flour) didn't spread quite enough but (IMO) better than the first half. Now . . . most people wouldn't be as picky, but I'm trying to get them just like they were before and the next batch should be poifect. My friend down the street demanded one (I love her, she always wants to see/taste what I'm cooking) and approved. The KIDS, on the other hand . . . well, I had to force them to try one. They both "claimed" they were good and then refused any others . . . I'm sure if I added chocolate chips it wouldn't be a problem . . . but just as I don't like raisens in my oatmeal cookies, I don't like choc chips in them either. Oh well, more for me and me hubby. Oh, and no problems for me daughter after eating the cookie.

The Pamela's baking contest ended yesterday. I'm sure I'll be notified any day now that I have won the grand prize. :P

Hi Sillies-

Not sure what we are doing today...We only work tomorrow and Weds and then we have vacation until next Tuesday. But we meet with our mortgage guy on Weds!!! So we are moving along :)

Woohoo!

Yesterday I went through all my clothes and came up with two garbage bags full to donate

I've been doing the same thing......though I'm afraid to get rid of my favorite clothes.......always afraid the weight will creep back. My theory is.....if you hold on to things, you'll never need them.

Had several people tell me I should read Wicked......although I was never fond of The Wizard of Oz. Those flying monkeys used to creep me out! :ph34r:

I've been reading but not posting, also. Janet, at the very least you should be Pamela's spokesperson. ;) You are always pushing the product around here....and you also did when we met. :P

We had a cookout yesterday with DD and her boyfriend. They wanted brats and he reminded me to buy hotdog buns for him. He has now been dubbed "Gluten Boy".

Hi all :D

Nuthin to add here either but wanted to say hello. :)

Your cookies sound good to me, Jan-it....I have to work up the courage to try the pure oats--Gawd, now all I can think about is a bowl of oatmeal wif maple syrup and butter.....(droolface) Glad your daughter didn't react--this will give her more variety :)

Wouldn't it be somephin' if you won the Pamela's contest!! :D

Aw Em--You looked like Burt Llar....I bet you were cute, though :D Maybe you can find a baby pic of yerself and let us be the judge....we won't laugh....hee :P

I cleaned out me closet/dresser last month when the ACS had a truck in the area. Got rid of 2 garbage bags full of stuff I've been holding on to for way too long. I always think "I'll wear it sometime" but always seem to wear the same stuff over and over .

Of course, when I make room I figure I can get a few new things to "fill in" :lol:

Beautiful day today B) Need to get to the nursery and get plants fer me winder boxes.....cleaned em out last week and they look so empty....wish I had a green thumb like Judith :unsure::rolleyes:

I used to love oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips, that was the only kind I liked, not chocolate chip or raisin and definitely no nuts. Anyone had any luck with baking with kasha (buckwheat groats) instead of oats? I don't think I can have oats, it's not even worth it to me to try anyway. I'd be sick for a month. But boy do I miss oatmeal cookies...... Not that I can find any BLOODY gluten-free butterscotch chips around here anyway.

I successfully make an oatmeal-type porridge with kasha, and quinoa also. They're yummy..... :)

Gad..........actually, there are NO pictures of me as a baby, for obvious reasons. :huh::lol: Actually, perhaps there are one or two, but I've been told that cameras just weren't pulled out when I was in anyone's arms, or lying in my carriage.. . . .nope, relatives and friends would just smile politely, and say things like, "she's so well behaved!" :lol:

There are no baby pictures of me either . . . I was the fourth of five children, they were so done with the picture taking of the babies by that time. When my great aunt passed away (I think I was in my late 20's at the time), my grandfather (her brother) got quite a few of her snapshots/photo albums . . . and in one of these, my mom found a couple of baby pictures of me. She says to me . . . Look, Janet there are too baby pictures of you!! . . . in a perfectly serious tone that implied "now quit yer complaining." To which I responded . . . yes, thank goodness the great aunt that I saw one Sunday a year always took pictures when she came to help keep track of which kids were which!!! . . . not like my own mother needed to do that!!! . . . :lol: . . . she always had to ask me when my birthday was when she was filling out forms (doctor/school/etc) for me. This is why, most likely, I'm not an overly sensitive sort.

See . . . now Emily has started calling you Bunnie . . . you better come up wif sumptin' or you'll be stuck wif what we give you!!

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
