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:

      @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.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. 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
