Here, you can only buy beer (by the case only) at a "beer store". If you want a 6-pack, you have to go to a bar or hotel and purchase it there.

Wine and other liquors are only found at the Wine and Spirits stores. Nothing at grocery stores.

PA really needs to start to live in the modern times and start selling the beer in the grocery store!

Why is it 'torbie' and not 'tattie'?

'cause if she was a 'tattie' some Brit would snatch her up and sell her on ebay.

You Yanks have a hollerday today, n'est-ce pas? We've got nuttin' until Easter.......harumph.

Well, it depends. Here in Ontario, if you work in a provincially regulated non-union workplace, then the third Monday in February is Family Day. It was first observed in 2008. Federally regulated workplaces are not covered by the legislation, but some companies, such as banks, close. Many unionized workers do not get it off, because the collective agreement specifies what days are holidays, and most have not been renegotiated. Talk about confusion. We close the store.

If I recall correctly, California sells alcoholic beverages in grocery and convenience stores 24x7. So does Illinois, if my memory is correct. Such civilized places.

Hmmmm....tabbies......Bryce is our big male orange tabby...a 20-pounder. Big, lazy and in love with everybody. He deeply respects and fears Tess, our little 7-pound mix. Very hilarious - - I've seen her give him regular hell, this li'l thing loudly reading the riot act before the big, cowering boy . . . .. . . :lol:

I've been watching GMA and other coverage and I realized that I feel like this is the first president who is part of the culture he's been elected to serve. He uses a Blackberry, he emails, his wife dances with her daughters on camera.

Why did we ever have people running the country that didn't have an understanding of how the country ran?

You know - I'm sure there is some limitation...or maybe that was in the past :blink: ....I do remember the 'alcohol' section of Tesco's being shut off on a Sunday.

Not ever having had to buy booze @ 2.00am I'm not sure :unsure:

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
