I can only dream of what things will be like when my kids are out there :)

Hopefully a world where wheat doesn't go into absolutely everything.

True dat!!

I'm only gluten-free for 4 years, and the difference in products and awareness in that time is amazing to me. Of course, I had never heard of it before, either. This journey has been life-changing for me in more ways than one.

Mornin' Peeps . . . well, we've lost Emily for the next 10 days. She should be on her way by now. Think she'll check in?? I always have good intentions when I'm gone but then just don't seem to get to it . . .

Hey, gang!

We're in Edmonton, lying around as the jetlag and exhausting plane ride settles into our bones. We are staying at an old friend's house.....very lovely. He's gone to work and is letting us get settled in. He is an amazing buddy - - giving us the run of his place, then INSISTING on lending us his van to drive three hours south to Calgary, then 2 hours west to Banff, then three hours north to Jasper, then back here. We'll have it for eight days.

I believe he is an undiagnosed and in-the-dark celiac, so this will be one thank-you gift I can give him - - insight and information.

Actually, I am certain that he will not think of the enlightenment that way. "Whot?? Bloody hell......I would need to eat just apples and twigs, then??" (He's a Scot -- quite a character).... <_<:rolleyes:

Great to hear about your potentially fruitful appointment, Ptaoughmghmn!

What a guy.

Hi Em

"Whot?? Bloody hell......I would need to eat just apples and twigs, then??" (He's a Scot -- quite a character).... <_<:rolleyes:

Good job typing a Scottish accent!! . . . sounds like a good guy . . . so if we go and visit, will he lend us his van, too??

Do I sound poorer to you?? . . . I bought four trees . . . two Colorado Spruces and a Serbian Spruce and a Pink Dogwood. All of them in the 9 to 10 foot range and all to be installed in the early fall. How hard is that do you think?? . . . but you have to look at every freakin' tree to get the "best" one.

Ya know, he probably would.

Nice trees you gots, Jyaghnutt!

Every tree around here is a skinny, sky-scraping poplar. I swear I've seen no other types of tree so far. :huh:

And is it phlat.

Wow. You can honestly see for miles. I'm sure nobody ever gets lost... . . . ..you can always see where you've been. :huh:<_<

Still weird and jet-laggy. Tomorrow will be more of an action-packed day. . . ......

Hehehe reminds me of a bit from Corner Gas, while showing the endless flatland in all directions, claiming it's a "great view - there's nothin' in the way".

Em, I remember you mentioned when the last CG was. I dunno how many seasons WGN-Chicago bought but they need to buy the rest. I'd guess they're just looping 4 seasons.

I need new Corner Gas!!!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

[Tired of Michael Jackson .. ..but may he rest in peace. Same for Farrah, Fred Travalena, Karl Malden, Steve McNair, Robert McNamara & whatever celeb dies tomorrow etc]

Sarah Palin cracks me up. :wacko:

As you may know, Jacquie and I are franchisees of this company. I see this as a positive change, but time will tell.

Chocolate martinis are probably not a good idea for a diabetic like me, so I will stick to the traditional gin and vermouth ones. Jess, do let us know about them, if you can still find the keyboard and type something we can read. :D

Well that's nice that they got the "new guy" a birfday cake . . . I prefer to have pie around the house meselph . . . I don't have to eat near as much before it's gone and I'm no longer tempted.

Happy Birfday to Mark.

Yes, our store is one of the franchised ones in the mentioned chain. We see it as good news for the company and its franchisees.

Afternoon all-

Seems to be busier than usual this week due to the move at work. So all morning we were packing boxes and getting things moved over to the new building.

This weekend we are keeping Silvia so Tammy and Sam can get their new house into order.

and I have heard enough about Michael now...he was talented but there is too much drama over this. Farah and Billy Mayes went quietly which was sad but it was appropriate... But I am sorry tickets to his viewing going for 12,000 on ebay...you kidding me?

Skeeter would absolutely NOT eat pizza before she went gluten-free . . . now it's one of her favourtie meals.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      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...

      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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

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.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
