I think the mango is the key but you can vary any of the other fruits. I tell ya, mango tastes like candy it is so sweet, you'll never miss the sugar!

Jooolie! This sounds delish, AND it's easy. .. . I shall be doing this. . . . .. :)

..........must watch her upcoming poops for gravel/miniature skulls/ wrappers..........whatever else...... :blink:

. . . . perhaps a sweater. . . .pair of glasses. . . . . ....carburetor . .. . ......

:lol:

Poor Weezie!

Had to go back for this, omg it's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a painting, fabulously coloUrful

This actually IS a shot (not mine) from the Gatineau Hills. The coloUrs of some of the maples become absolutely unbelievable, like I would not believe them unless I was standing right under the tree - - a bright, fiery crimson, and a yellow that I thought was reserved for emergency vehicles and traffic signs....and this astonishing reddish purple, if you can imagine. . .. blue is not supposed to appear anywhere within leaf fauna, but there it is. . . . ..

Has anyone heard back from Richard? Wondering how he is doing, and his sister....

I've been thinking about him, too. I do hope his sister is better. I remember how upset he sounded, our staid, hilarious Richard, when he told us about her.. . . . .... :(

Its very disgusting-- my mom said she will still keep Landen though which is nice of her. But she will not be able to make the trip down to Harrisburg to bring him back. Which is fine, Jen and I can go pick him up. We can even meet my mom halfway.

Crazy time I tell you.

Amanda, what a sad story. There are parents out there that conduct themselves in such a way... . . ..it has to hit home for me when I hear such a story.

Thank goodness for your mom! What a saint she is. . . . . .... :)

I did go back a bit- Weezee's poo crimes :( , Tel's making Apple Toffee Cake :D and the sad story from Amanda- very messed up woman!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: Why do we have to get licenses to drive but ANYONE can become a parent?? So WRONG!

We had fun- left Saturday early instead of Friday. I restarted my abx and felt yucky so i stopped because we had this weekend planned fopopr so long I wanted to enjoy it (ready for the irony? Have a double ear infection that I would NOT have had i stayed on them. No comment- I'm really thinking I did something VERY VERY bad in former life).

Saratoga is amazing- in between the Berkshires and the Adirondacks. Great downtown (amazing gluten-free food!) and the architecture is beautiful. It has a SPA state park where there are tons of mineral springs (more about that shortly!). We spent most of Sunday in the park. Lots of Victorian houses and Greek Revival. They were SUMMER houses in the late 1800's.

Horses are BIG there! They have racing in the summer- track, steeplechase and harness. Took a ride yesterday to the store and caught some of the harness racers in training. So cool! It must be hopping there in the summer between the racing and New York City Ballet and Symphony (can you tell I want to go back!).

Oh- the mineral water. There are spigots everywhere in the park and Kurt and I saw people filling gallon jugs everywhere. So we stopped and filled up our bottles. When we got back to the car, we both took big swigs and GAGGED. No lie- most hideous water I have EVER tasted. It's got a lot of sulfur in it so it tastes and smells like arse. We were going to bring it home to my sister as a joke but even the CAR started to smell bad so we had to dump it- HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Curly Lisa!!! I so admire you for this, and it sounds like so much PHUN. It is on my list of things to do, my bucket list I guess, to take dance classes (either ballroom or sumfin like that)

I guess the dancing is part of my bucket list, too. Didn't start until after the kids were grown........same thing for the scuba diving. My next item on the list would be to learn to make jewelry with silver clay. I had a chance this past summer, but no money :angry:

HELP!!!!!!!! I am 4 days and 14 pages behind!!!!!!! I cannot go back so I will poop in and say hi (Curly Lisa- Will give you nine dozen gluten-free chocolate chip cookies for a psummary!

You're gonna hafta do better than that.........no sugar for this psilly :( .......my tummy doesn't like sugar or fruit.....and they make my tongue feel raw or burnt and my face breaks out.

Which brings me to another point! <_< .... . . . .. . . .. . are ya'll quite done with your talk of recipes and desserts???...........or do I have to *listen* to this clear up through the US Thanksgiving?...........HARRUMPHH!!!

Always had a weakness for desserts.........and every single one mentioned sounds HEAVENLY!........and always LOVED me fruit, too.<<<poutypuppydogface>>>

Will see what I can do about a summary, cuz I'm nice like that :P ........depends on how fast I am at beating hubby to the computer. After last night, he should be too pooped to bother.

Will be leaving a little later for the chiro :D ............stay tuned!

What Janet's NOT telling us is this:

The author of her book club's latest choice is Suzanne Somers. Three's Company With a Thighmaster - - My Life in 100 Pages.

Not sure if it's on Oprah's list. . . . ....... . .

Look out, Janet....once you book clubbers get her on the phone, she won't let you off....she has problems with closure and letting go - - ask Jooolie.... . .. . .. :lol:

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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
