I'm going pipe in here and in the spirit of this group, and the spirit of the "gab/chat" forum (non-controversial topics), respectfully ask that politics are not brought up here (other than talking about the inauguration, of course!). There are dems, repubs, independents, etc on here.

(of course, no one has to listen to me. :lol::lol::lol: )

All we can do is wait.....bide our time and do what each can do...and hope for the best. I don't dare say it can't get worse...I've known too many who survived the depression. I hope and pray this country never sees anything like that ever again! If only they would learn to run the country like a business! There is no bottomless barrel of money...assets need to be more than liabilities...we need to stay in the black, not red....money should be wisely spent and the spenders need to be held accountable.

That's it for todays sermon :lol:

I'm certainly not offended by any of it, don't think anything should be erased, and think that today is a great day for our country!

Yes!! And Canucks! Our politics are SO staid . . .. ....so Commonwealth-y..........so rather boring.. . . . ..hilarious to see the swearing-in of our Prime Minister (um, no actual televised ceremony) and compare it to the magic today on Capitol Hill . .. . . ..

The whole country is pinning their hopes on this man. I truly hope he (and the congress and senate) can unravel the mess we find ourselves in.

Hi Psillies- Sorry I was MIA for the posting flurry- no good excuse. Just no silly, no energy and have had two pups here instead o' one. Remember Sadie- the dog I fostered this summer? She's been here since Saturday and she and Angus have been romping all over (those two should get a room!) :wub: :wub:

Mornin', guys!

Family's holding steady. . .....sis is okay at home, Dad's still in observation awaiting test results. We wait. .. ...

And What a Day for The United States! Very exciting. . . . . . ... ... :)

I had been following along on me gmail. I can't believe that BOTH sis and dad had kidney problems. Glad they are holding steady Em. Keep us posted.

I'm watching the inauguration from about an hour ago (tivo'd it while napping- GO ARETHA!!!!!!!!!!!). What has struck me most was them mentioning the PEACEFUL transfer of power. Made me realize how much we take this for granted- so many other countries do not have this!!!!!!! For this, I am grateful.

Laura- Eric! That is SO cool, but he must be so cold! He'll be a tired boy tonight. Don't tell me you two get to go to the Inaugural Ball??????

Oh oh oh Yo Yo Ma...........I'm gonna die- the man is a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
