None of you are posting on the bed thread except for Patti? I can't believe a bed thread hasn't stirred up trouble .... I guess mold just isn't as interesting as Altoids. :D

I hope all of you are doing well. :)

It is a very interesting topic and I Am happy you are finding some answers

Morning all you sillies. Beautiful here in Philly today

It's a beautiful morning here. Went for a long walk down the hill, past the alpaca ranch where they all looked up at me in consternation -why was I disturbing their rest and was I going to feed them? Then along the water front, mostly blocked by overpriced, humongoid houses, but still enough spaces to see the water and the sunrise. Up the hill on the other side where all the houses are tucked back in the trees, and home along my road upon which I was greeted by all the dogs out walking their owners.

A nice way to start the morning. No one has peed or puked on the furniture, what more could I ask for?

I emailed Tom yesterday.

Fellow Facebook Sillies, I can't figure out how to get me location to show up, do I have to join that network or sumfin?? I can't see where to do it :huh: I am confoozled....

Hi All-

I sent Tom a text msg yesterday and a few hours later I got a response it said Hi...sorry I havent been on in awhile.

That was it.

Patti youre right, what a change in weather from yesterday. Today it is sunny but seems cooler.

We had more Becky drama last night, she has an airline ticket for tomorrow morning which is good. I woke up feeling much better. I only got 2 more days of vacation before I go back to work, I dont want to be sick!

Jestgar Rising Star
How are you feeling Jess?

Other than feeling like I was hit across the abdomen with a baseball bat, I feel great. I was surprised how long it took for the last effects of the anesthesia to wear off (a couple weeks), but now that my brain works again, I'm less tired than I was before the surgery.

I try to walk three times a day, working my way up to a couple miles each time, and I'm slowly returning to eating healthy instead of indulging myself (boy I'm gonna miss that :P ).

Well, that was a GREAT family event. There were apparently over two thousand dogs there.. . . . .....HEAVEN! :wub: They always raise a fair amount of money, so this year will be no different. After the walk they had contests: Smallest dog, biggest dog, cutest dog, dog and owner lookalikes, best trick, etc. Gus came in second for cutest dog! He lost to a snippy little Jack Russel. BAH! :angry:<_<

The lookalike winner was hilarious, and I should have gotten a picture....it was a little, older man with a face that looked like it had been slammed in a door - - pushed-in nose and mouth, jowls, and....you guessed it...he had a pug. I am certain he got this dog so that everyone would forever be commenting on this phenomenal, startling resemblance. Perhaps he had plastic surgery done to achieve this!! :o There are some strange pholk around......... <_<

Moldy beds! Gah! Must reads this.. . . ....dangerous stuff...... . . ......

Mygawd, Jess.....Now have you got Lisa's drunken houseguest Debre for a few days??

Fellow Facebook Sillies, I can't figure out how to get me location to show up, do I have to join that network or sumfin?? I can't see where to do it :huh: I am confoozled....

Hmmmm.....I did this so long ago, I phorget...... . ...but I do remember the whole website being difficult to navigate. I'll go check it out.

Someone made contact with Ptaoughmghmn?? I must have missed that.......just Amanda's, or did someone else get a longer response? :huh:

I have been holding off emailing him as I assumed he would be getting bombarded with emails from inquiring well-wishers.....HOW IS HE DOING??

jerseyangel Proficient

I didn't email Pataughmn because the last couple of group emails I've replied to, his comes back undeliverable (full mailbox). I am really concerned about him ....

Judith--I think it's fantastic that you're considering taking a class. I'm so happy that you and Jim went today and had such a nice time :D

Amanda--it did get warm today. How are you doing? B)

Nik!!! Yer wedding picture is beautiful......regal even! :D

I did email Tom, basically he's feeling very unsilly :(:(

I told him that we all have been very worried and his presence is greatly missed and hoped he would at least pop in and say hello.

Hi JOO-DEE!!! A class sounds like good fun, stimulating for the noggin for sure :)

I didnt email Tom I sent him a text message from my cell phone. Still contact was made :)

Hi Patti- I am doing real well.

Tonight Jen and I are having dinner, I am making gluten free spagheti and sauces and we are eating downstairs. She was supposed to work at 7 but they dont need her till 11 now.

Then John and I want to check on a house down the road.

Plus I just made my muffins. They are good :)

I bought the muffin mix at Canadaguia Spice COmpany in NY on my honeymoon. I went to the store since I heard they carried gluten free stuff. Turns out they made their own mixes. So I chose this mix and never used it. So today I found it and I went to go and order online since they gave me their card. Turns out they went out of business and closed August 30th......It was a cute little store :)

More later

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.
    • trents
      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
