Julie - don't know what to tell ya . . . my hubby knew I had read the book so he kept asking questions. If you haven't read the book, I'm sure yer immagination fills the gaps wif sumptin'. I thought the book was better than the movie . . . usually do . . . but the first half was difficult to read (from the little girl's perspective). Second half was much better.

Morning Sillies--

Patti- such awful news-- (((HUGS))) hope they are doing better.

Today is Boss's day and we are having a potluck breakfast for our boss. I made a hashbrown casserole....I am hoping it turned out- never made it before. So I got it all ready last night and dumped the egg over it this morning and baked it. It appears done but it has "juice" in it....any ideas???

My sister sent me a picture of Brooklynn on my cell phone- she looks so cute. My one sister said she doesn't smile at all....so my mom answered with--what does she have to smile for??? In all honesty it is the truth.... Her mom is 19 yrs old....young but in my opinion still old enough to know better.

See ya all in a bit.

PS- colder weather moving in tonight and tomorrow....

Mornin', Psillies!

Amanda! Brooklynn will be smiling soon, to be sure, now that your mom's got her. .. .... :)

How old is she?

Talked to my brother late last night, conferring on our costumes for the Hallowe'en bash we're heading to on Wards island. DH and I will be revisiting our African tribal personas (must get to Value Village and score more animal print - - I believe I've got a wee bit more to cover this time around <_< ), and I think DB will be in our tribe, as well.

POeter, you and Jacquie should come over to this island party! :lol: We can be a formidable Dinka Tribe, and you of course would be the Wise Medicine Man. Wif plates in our lips and twenty rings stacked around our weakened necks, we'd strike a formidable pose. . . . . ..... :lol:

I agree, Janet. . . . ....the book was challenging, and very rich. Movie was as good as it could be. Impossible to get all the vital, gripping parts into two hours of film, but it was a good college try. Luuuuuuurrrrved James McAvoy. . . ...

The car that caused the accident fled the scene, after stopping briefly, according to witnesses.

Patti . . . sorry to hear about yer cousin and their grandaughter. Glad to hear they will be OK.

But now I must confess . . . :ph34r: . . . the psilly in me thought the next line was going to be sumptin like "after catching up to the car, police found several packages of stolen deli meat."

It's no biggie, really! I've lived without white sugar, honey and syrup for so long, it really is a way of life. :)

:o this is astounding........you are actually one of the few (maybe the only?) diabetic I know who follows the diet!

I don't know how I'd live without me sweets - would miss them terribly, always........for example

this morning, I am not kidding, I awoke quite early and ate two of these Trader Joe's half vanilla ice cream/half raspberry sorbet bars. :ph34r: Had to take some ibuprofen and needed sumfin in my stomach......so that's what I ate. :huh: Gads.

Don't worry about clicking on the link, I think that may be the most confusing recipe I've ever seen.

Do you think your diabetes is Celiac related? Just curious...

It's me again, yer friendly neighboUrhood pain in the butt :lol: Can yer chowder be made dairy free, like wif rice milk?

HEY!! PATTI!!

HAVE YOU GOT MY CURSOR???

:lol:

Maybe your cursor is the cause of me computer glitches this morning! :o Everything seems to be working phine now, so I assume you have it back? :P

:lol: Patti, yer not a pain in the butt!

It is completely dairy free, you puree the potatoes and the corn after cooking and it is incredibly creamy.

In fact, if you wanted to experiment with df soups and chowders for the fall and winter, pureed corn makes a very creamy base (I saw this tip years ago on a low fat cooking show, how to make creamy soups and chowders without using dairy ;) ) So does pureed cauliflower. I make a Cauliflower Dill soup and it's just water, cauliflower and dill...and salt and garlic and onion, you cook it until the cauliflower is super tender then puree...very creamy!

Emily, I so admire you for taking care of yourself with your diabetes. I also have known a few diabetics that would just up their insulin in order to eat sugar.

Can you bake with Splenda? I didn't think you could with other artificial sweeteners of the past, but for some reason i am thinking you can with Splenda?

Bunnie, the Toffee Apple Cake recipe is from the UK website so it just has to be converted measurement wise and some of the ingredients subbed out for things we have here, but it looks pretty straight forward to me :)

Jules, your cauli soup sounds splendid! will try it. I make the best curried broccoli bisque - just boil yer broccoli (in onions and garlic) until tender, add salt/pepper and curry powder, a bit of butter if you can......pur

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      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 +

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.
