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.

Happy birthday to Mark!

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?

      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.

      Buckwheat

      By Inkie · Posted

      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

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
