Yeah, baby...

Oh, I forget who wanted the flour conversion options. You could try white rice, quinoa flakes, and cornstarch or tapioca starch. I think millet or teff would be too dark.

The 2 houses we were looking into both sold....we were supposed to visit them tonight....so depressing. It seems like we are never going to find somewhere to live...this sucks!

mmmmm gluten-free vodka :drool:

Absolut is made from wheat. I know they say it's Gluten-free, but I get a strong reaction from it. It took me a while to figure it out, but Absolut makes me sick. That was my drink, I kept a bottle in my freezer. Now I have to drink rum, wine or if I can find some, sorghum beer.

Congratulations Queen Erica!!! You are more than welcome to take this job!! I will be shipping up the crown, robe and sceptre shortly. The robe smells. Needs dry cleaning. I think Emily let her dogs sleep on it. Don't ask about the blood stain!! Yes, the jester and trumpeter are doing better, however, they have a standing appointment for their couples counseling that you will need to make sure that they get to . . . and whatever you do, don't let them get ahold of the keys to ANYbody's car, truck, RV, lawn tractor, etc . . . you get the drift. If you've got a lock for yer bike, I would use it.

Awwwwww . . . Sammmmmmmmmmmy . . . You know Laura, right now while you guys are both at work, he's sleeping as much as he can so that he can stay up all night and play with youse guys tonight!!! :lol::lol: Good Thang those puppies are so darn cute!!!

Mornin Sillies :)

Got my candida bloodtest results yesterday.

I really expected higher numbers.

Candida IgA 8

Candida IgG 2

Candida IgM 7

Limit's 10 for all.

So the test says it's not a problem. Or shouldn't be. It would've explained CFS, perfume/cleanser issues AND all the foods beyond gluten, dairy, soy that bother me.

I've never had a "total IgA" test. As w/ the celiac antibody test (which I never had), couldn't that possibly distort this antibody test?

P.S. Congrats Teen Queen Air-ih-kah!!!!!

And assorted :):(:D:angry::o:wub: as applicable ;)

<got some catchin' up to do>

nikki-uk Enthusiast

PTAUM!!!

Sorry you didn't get any answers from the candida test :( ..might be worth getting a total IgA......although low IgA wouldn't affect the IgM and IgG results <_<

Happy Hump Day Sillies!!!!!!!

Curly Lisa had her silly on last night :lol: I meant to ask how old is your DD?

puppy love..........I LOVE their breath and their smell!

Yes, the puppy smell!!!!!! You know those email "getting to know you" surveys (with questions like what's your favorite food, movie, tv show, drink, smell) I always put down "puppies" as one of my favorite smells!!!

So good to know I'm not the only odd ball on that one, hee hee!

My Stinker, God rest her soul, ran a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeerry successful trenching and excavation business in the back yard for her first two to three years........I'm not talking just......digging holes........oh no. We are talking furrows.....caverns........deep, long, connected ruts.....tunnels......nearly the whole grass obliterated and gone. :blink: Just a continuous maze of deep ruts and furrows and mud and dirt and holes.

This absolutely C R A C K E D me arse up!!!!!!!! :lol: Is that anything like a crinkly bum? Or two entirely different things.....:huh:

That is a good question...are Labs mischevious? I do not know....you might find the occasional chewed up shoe in your closet Laura!

Okay. . . . will be trying to phigure out this enormous, expensive, suddenly intimidating toy today . . ...crap, hot tubs involve mathematical testing, configuring, the dreaded cleaning. . . . .....

Perhaps the bugler can be hired (or threatened) to do this. The jester has NO work ethic - - just wants to sit around, shake his tambourine, chortle, make people laugh, be entertained . . .. can you imagine? Putting off other daily duties to laugh and be entertained with others?? <_<:lol:

:lol:

Didn't get a chance to say CONGRATS on the arrival of the hot tub yesterday Em!! What a big day here in Sillyville..... Sammy came home, Erica was crowned Queen, you got yer hot tub, and Bev's good news!!!!!

A Puppy Queen Hot Tubbin PAH-TAY!!!! With Bev wavin BOTH her arms wildly above her head!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knew hot tubs would require maths :huh: that's something to bring up when kids say, "when will I ever need to use this again in my life???" when doing math homework. Now we all can say, "you just wait, one of these days you will want to get a hot tub and however will you manage without MATH!!!!!!!"

Talking of malfeasance...

Feeling ever so better about me my son's educational future today having had a meeting phirst thing this morn - they are going to try and get him into an 'integration programME' for kids who've been out of school for a long time

Glad the meeting went well Nik....and I'm glad you are feeling better about things :)

I hope it all works out with this other programme!!! It sure sounds like a good fit, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Julie--snow????? :o:o tis early indeed! We must track down our dear yeti and send him yer way in case shoveling will be needed

:lol:

That yeti is a life saver with all the snow removal :D

Um, the forecast might be changing. It's shaking out to not be as cold as first predicted, thus a good possibility there will only be rain and not snow.

Good luck with the house hunting!!

I'm sure you all know the answer to "Did Sammie sleep through the night?" :P

:lol:

Janet is right, she'll sleep all day and will be ready to play all night!!

Thanks Bunnie for the bangin banana bread recipe :)

And thanks Peter for the link!

So my little story to share.....I was treadmilling this morning, flipping through the OnDemand music channels as usual trying to find a song with a good up tempo beat when I land on a catchy song by the band 3 Oh! 3 (maybe the youngins or kids of sillies are more familiar?) Anywho, I'm just walking along at a brisk pace and I hear these lyrics......

Shush girl shut your lips,

Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.

I said, Shush girl shut your lips,

Good to see you Tom :)

Sorry you didn't get many answers from your candida test :( I just don't know much about it to shed any light, wish I did.....

Are you still planning on going to the Mayo clinic?

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk. 
    • par18
      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools. 
    • trents
      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
