I'm officially snowed in. The road in front of my house got a light dusting of sand this morning that did nothing to decrease the slipperiness.

I'm now regretting not shopping last weekend... :angry:

Well.....quite a sight out in the ho' tub.....DD brought five of her 14-year old girlfriends home from school after lunch, and they're in there celebrating the start of holidays.....screeching wif laughter, splashing each other, blowing snow whipping around them, mixing with the steam, and they appear to be wearing their winter hats. .. . .... :lol:

Ahhhhh. . .. .to be young again.. . . .......

POeter! Are you building massive snow families in front of the store?

Well, didn't have to take Dad in - -he is better...... . .but some strange, abdominal pain that comes and goes, so he will have to see his doctor, hopefully Monday. There's a history of kidney AND gall stones (and undiagnosed celiac, I am certain), so for now, he's resting on Tylenol. Things are okay right now. :) Thanks so much for the words of concern!

I freeze a LOT of extra meals, too. DH takes leftovers to work, as do the kids to school, so you can imagine the size of the lasagna pans/casserole dishes/roasts/crock pots I fill!! Have you got a decent-sized freezer, Ptaoughmghmnuss?

Em .......whew what a relief.....Glad Dad's doing better!

Tom.......I freeze any left overs.......eg......spag sause with meat, spag noodles, add some beef broth and make some soup out of it.......Freeze alot...........I'm sorry your not doing well. Hugs to you

Just a quick fly-by to say that it is snowing big time here in Toronto, with about 8 inches expected in all. It started after the morning commute, but has been coming down steadily since. It looks like there is at least 6 inches so far. The parking lot has been shoveled three times, and needs it again. :angry:

Drive Safely Peter and Jacquie..........and stay warm

hi all

so gloomy here today. Just getting on line today

love you all

Hi, Judy!

I have something veeeeerrrrrrrryyyyyy BIG to tell you all:

Took Jack to yet another follow-up at the paediatrician this aft re. his chronically stuffy nose. The meds he is on are working well (but we STILL do not know the cause :angry: ....just keep treating the symptoms).....So this wonderful doc was going over the CT scan we had done of Jack's head, and she mentioned his sinuses. They are "clear and unaffected". Jack asked her exactly what the sinuses are and what they do, and she replied that they are air-filled cavities found in a number of places in one's body.

She then told us that we have sinuses in our anal canal.

Sinuses in our anuses! ....Sinii in our anii.......

Who'd a thunk???

Do they get infected? Do they need irrigating? Can one purchase an anal rinse?? Like a li'l netti pot, only fer your bum??

:lol::rolleyes:

What an interesting piece of news! :rolleyes: Anal sinuses--who knew? :P

I think I told you this before, Em, (maybe not, so I'll bore you all wif it again :lol: ) I have had the same type issues as Jack fer years--have had 2 CT scans (both normal, save fer the one short sinus....phorget which one). All they do is treat the symptoms--antihistimines and steroid sprays......was also diagnosed wif TMJ disfunction by me last ENT--said it twas a classic case. That can cause sinus symptoms, neck and head pain and other stuff. Just FYI ;)

Also interesting is that antihistimines always seemed to help my GI issues before I was diagnosed--never understood why, though :unsure:

I remember you telling us about yer nose/sinus history when we met up in Philly, Patti - -and so does Jack. He was wondering (true!) if your nose doctor ever told you that you also have sinuses in your anus.

:o

:lol:

And, I replied that I doubted it. . . . ..

Good to hear Dad's better now, Em. :wub:

Ptaoughmghmn! Have you tried melatonin before? It has worked very well for me - - . . no side effects, takes effect quickly. . . ..

Yup, but quite a few yrs ago. Worked great & I *did* buy some today - after working 'til ~10:30p last night then being up 'til ~4.

Probably will try tonight.

I make ahead and freeze a lot of what I eat for dinners, otherwise it is too overwhelming to cook every night, dunno if this would be an option for you?

Shhhhheeeeeeeeyit it was too often everwhelming even before I started working again.. ..

I'd love to do casseroles or crockpots but I think I'm too alphabet-free for much of that. I've looked for recipes, incl at that 365 days of crocktease site, but it seems there's always some critical ingred I can't have.

No tomatoes (tho certain organics don't make me dizzy), potatoes, corn etc etc . ..... :angry:

Maybe I should retest potatoes - I've heard red ones are best to start. :unsure:

AHA! :lightbulboverheadface: :blink: The topic DOES remind me of a White Chicken Chili recipe on ATK that excited me w/ its allowedness.

I should recheck how much work is involved & how long it'd take me.

I do usually make extra & freeze when possible. Thought I was making 4 main courses Tues, w/ 4 chkn breasts. Then ate 2 that night & 2 Wed.

I know I need to do a lot more made-in-advance dinners. Having trouble coming to terms w/ what to make & when to make it. I don't think my broiled salmon freezes well.

Maybe I need to plan a Cooking Day & not work & just see how much I can do.

What an interesting piece of news! :rolleyes: Anal sinuses--who knew? :P

This sounds indicative of cranial-rectal insertion syndrome.

P.S. I now see my car stereo's AUX input & pronounce it "oh".

Boy Tom i hear you one the first part. I find i can't have so many of the things that go into the crockpot

one thing i do is put a pot roast with gluten-free beef broth and onions in the crock pot.

use the beef for many dishes during the week.

I love the white chili with the northern white beans. The recipe is or was on the side of the can

you could do that in the crock pot i bet.

good luck.......hope your sleeping.

Y'all are overthinking this. Throw whatever vegetation you can eat into the pot, add some dead animal flesh, sprinkle with dried flavorings, and push go.

If you want it thinner, cut smaller peices and add some broth. If you want it thicker, throw in some quinoa or dried mushrooms.

Mmmmm . . . sounds yummy when you put it like that, Jess!! :lol::lol:

Made a wonderful soup last night . . . just winged it . . . turned out great and hubby thought so, too but said . . . "too bad we can't have that again because you don't know what you did." . . . :lol: . . . so I wrote down my ingredients, I'll get pretty close . . . Children turned their noses up at it, of course.

My mouth is watering :lol:

Tis true, though. I almost always start wif a mixture of sliced potatoes, onion, carrots, celery and a clove of sliced garlic. I mix it all up and top wif a hunk of beef or pork. Works every time and there's always a ton of leftovers. Come to think of it. you could do it sans meat, add beans or whatever. Let yer imagination run away wif ya!

Seriously (yeah, right :P ) no, really.....I don't think you can go wrong wif the crockpot--just throw in what you can tolerate wif a quarter cup of water and 8 hours later, it's dinner. :D Tis darn (sorry Jan-it) near phoolproof. B)

It is hard to be sure due to extensive drifting, but somewhere between six and eight inches (15-20 cm). Today is sunny and cold. Another storm will arrive this evening, with another 15 to 20 cm accumulating through Sunday.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      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.

      @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...

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.

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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
