Salmon packets for dinner again folks....yep they were just that good I have to have them again :D

I've been meaning to try that. Generally I broil mine - quite good but I'm feeling the monotony.

Any tricks/secrets??? I've seen recipes, which of course are all straightforward.

Fav spices for the salmon? I think it's time I start testing dried/ground spices. Been off them since late May '05, for mold concerns w/ anti-candida diet. Mefinks I've overdone it.

Yep, this is exactly what I'm gonna do. I cannot imagine going into Toys R Us, looking at an extensive list of items, half of which I won't even touch or see, choosing whatever thing falls into my price range, and having it boxed and delivered to her house.

:huh:

Hanh?

What have we come to.......?.....no time to search for a heartfelt gift that YOU think of, and pick out, and touch? If she needs to return it for whatever reason, I will absolutely do that for her.....

There. Okay.....decision made......

Back to mini, flurrying posts!!

:D:D

As a former registrator . . . registrar . . . registerator . . . let me say that it is never a problem to not pick something off of the list . . . but believe me when I say that there are plenty of people who are just totally clueless as to what to get and it's not for lack of wanting to get something nice. An elderly single gentleman that I worked with at the time of my pregnancy wanted to get me something. He walked into Baby's R Us and a wonderful clerk helped him 'cause he looked like this . . . :blink: . She asked him if I was registsered . . . and he looked like this . . . :huh: . . . and she asked what my name was . . . and he happened to know . . . and she pulled up my list . . . and then he looked like this . . . :D . . . and he picked some stuff out . . . had a friend wrap it for him . . . and this is the best part . . . after he gave it to me, he asked me what that stuff was used for :lol: I look at it as a list for those that need help . . . you apparently do not need any help . . . OK, I'm done.

Hey! I see Barack's been travelling on the whistle-stop train to Washington. Apparently, several hundred people from Ottawa arranged a huge tour bus to head down and meet him there. .. .

The train trip began here in Philadelphia. He flew in late yesterday afternoon (his plane landed about an hour and a half before Mark's!)

We've been watching the coverage on and off today on CNN.

Hee hee, at first I thought this was Janet asking me this....the eye avatar threw me off. When I got to the dried spices/herbs part I thought, "I didn't know Janet was off dried spices/herbs like Tom" :lol::lol:

OMGosh Thomas! The salmon packets are sooooo ridiculously easy and sooooo good, it's hard to believe there's not much to them when you taste it. It just steams it to perfection and so much flavor.

This is what I did:

Put down a sheet of foil large enough to be able to wrap up the salmon and veggies you are going to put inside.

Place yer piece of salmon in the middle, sprinkle with dill (fresh or dried), a pinch of sea salt, chop up a little onion and put that on top, same with bell pepper (I used red)

Then squeeze lemon juice over the top of everything.

Bring up the sides of the foil around the salmon and veggies and wrap it up and seal it into a little packet.

I put it on a baking sheet at this point just in case any of the juices spilled out (don't want to have a mess to clean up in the oven)

Bake at 450 degrees for 16-18 minutes

Ok, backtracking time for me . .. .

Reading thru today's multitude of pages, I wanted to keep momentum, w/out the interruption of slow postificating. :wacko:

So anyway, this old(er) lady walks up and butts into the conversation with--"Nobody should eat wheat! "

. .....

Maybe she was one of the few phorum members w/ that opinion.

Reminds me of the conspiracy theorists, which also leave me head-scratching, in wonder at how ppl come to believe certain things.

Who loves the tv show Rescue Me???

Read today how Franco has a storyline about 9/11 being a neocon conspiracy.

AND that the actor who plays him believes it!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh (& mmmmmmmmm) I should've remembered dill!! While still in Phx I'd pick some from Mom's garden to use w/ salmon.

And (yay!) the rest are things I already eat.

Thx, I might make this my 1st dried herb test. :)

curlyfries Contributor

Oh........and for dinner I'm fixing hubby smoked sausage and pineapple...........takes maybe 15 minutes in the skillet :P

I'll probably have fish.....maybe salmon :D

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.
    • trents
      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
    • Scott Adams
      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

      Hello, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was little. I’ve visited many doctors because my intestines have always been very reactive to food. I have chronic swelling, and I struggle to gain weight. This year has been worse than others: I started noticing fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and many digestive problems, especially after consuming products with gluten. My doctor suggested that this might be due to some imbalance of gut bacteria, so I started taking Bifidobacterium Infantis supplements. However, my symptoms have been getting worse every day. I experience nausea, frequent abdominal pain, migraines, and palpitations after eating. I had these symptoms before, but now they are more intense. I thought I might have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, so I took a home test for Celiac, and it came out negative (though there may have been an error—I was nervous and accidentally contaminated the sample with air bubbles). Based on your experiences, should I pursue further medical exams for Celiac? I’m worried about being underweight and about my blood test results, which, even if still within normal ranges, have been declining each year.
