GooOOoood Twenty-Ten morning, Paills!

And our first glutening of the decade goes to.....Sooooozle!

Actually, depending on when you indulged, Sooooze, I may have beaten you to the punch -- I am sure I ate sumfin' that was cc'd last night at our friend's house....got some rumbling going on... . . .....

All right: Operation Tree-Down to commence.......

Happy twenty ten youse guys!!!

I slept about 9 hours last night (that's a LOT for me). Briefly awakened at midnight by neighborhood fireworks but went back to sleep immediately. Suze, were you banging yer pots and pans at midnight last night?

. . . and Suze, I do agree that when you eat sweets you have to eat some salty to counteract but next time pick a differnt flavoUr . . . and I, too, hope it's not too ruff.

Probably one of the best meals I've ever cooked last night . . . hope the leftovers taste decent as there are quite a few.

Jaw update . . . I think I'm doing better but still gotsa ways to go. My teeth aren't hurting near as much, but my jaw joint still feels tired/sore.

Off to bake some muffins . . . I'm onto a really good recipe now and must go check to see if it was a fluke or if I can repeat myself.

Merry! Happy! Cheery! to all!!!

Good 2010 phirst mornin' to ya'll!! :D

Gads--we've had our phirst couple 'o glutenings already.....I guess it's best to just git em out of the way early :P Pseriously, hope you both feel better soon :wub:

What was this wonderphul dinner, Jan-it?? Please share :D Glad the jaw/teeth are showing signs of improvement. ;)

We stayed up till just after 12 our time--I never realized the festivities end at 12 eastern time (at least on TV :lol: ). That last hour was spent watching HGTV and dozing off from the wine and carb fest..... :unsure:

Ah....Nik's pinch-punch.....all's right wif the world :rolleyes:

All of our Christmas stuff is down and put away--now back to the fans and blinds.....we may get settled sometime in 2010, we hope :lol:

Looks like you and the kiddos had such a fun, happy day yesterday :D

Leesargh - don't know WHAT to tell you, but it's three hours ahead where you are - WHOT did you decide to do???

We ended up sticking with tradition. Did nae want to worry about the food, and didn't feel like leaving our friends and a warm cozy house to treck across town to dance on a crowded little dance floor. We had a good time, and I made some awesome potato skins :)

I also had an awesome lunch with a coupla old friends........lots of laughter......SO much fun! I really missed them. Already planning to do it again over Spring break :D

All right: Operation Tree-Down to commence.......

I'm joining you! It'll be a phirst for me, procrastinator that I am! :P

I have high hopes for 2010.

Wishing everyone a brighter, happier, less stressful year, full of wonderful surprises ^_^

Well, it wasn't like it was anything that special . . . I did a pork loin (never did a pork loin before, only tenderloins). However, instead of dry and chewy (like I make my roast beef <_< ) it was moist and tender . . . Also had roasted potatos/carrots and sauteed green beans/mushrooms/onions . . . AND (and this is a big one) it all got done at the same time. :o:lol:

wif crustless pumpkin pie for dessert.

Storage boxes have started descending from the attic for packing away of the Christmas stuff . . . I'll make sure I go slow, wouldn't want to overdo it . . . will probably take the whole weekend :P

:lol: Nope, not this year.....I think I was asleep by 11.

and WHAT are these muffins you speak of? Sounds like your dinner was quite good....my friend made Pioneer Woman's pork tenderloin w/ homemade cranberry sauce - said it was TO DIE FOR -

in other news -

no signs whatsoever of a glutening :blink: Bowels totally normal today......

guess it was just a light dusting of barley malt flour - did nowt :huh:

Well, new year, new decade..........very happy to see 2009 go.......

Good things for all of us in 2010, hear hear! :) Happy New Year to all -

'Mornin', gang!

Oh, no.....another glutening! Crap, Pahteee. Hope you are better this am. Still dunno if I was actually cc'd - - it did not last long, and it was kinda crampy stuff, not bloating or D happening. Guess I'll never know.

Hey! Oracle POeter may know this.......I was just thinking about how I miss our great li'l emotifaces on this forum when I'm typing just about anything anywhere else. I wonder if you could move them into conversations in the facebook chat windows? I somehow doubt that the fb gods would have such settings.. . .....more's the pity -- I'm sure I am being completey misinterpreted when I'm furiously chatting away with someone, and I don't have that perfect li'l cackly phace at my disposal... . .. ...... :rolleyes:

Glad it was short-lived, Em . . . hope yours is too, Patti.

Yeah . . . I need these available for when I'm sending emails or writing my Christmas letters . . . a picture an emoticon is worth a thousand words and all that!!

jerseyangel Proficient

Yeah, thanks goils, I'm better today. :) Thankfully it doesn't last too long anymore. I took a couple pre-emptive Immodium (actually didn't have D with this round, but ya never know ;) ) and we're at Starbucks having a warm drink before running a few errands. Could have been cc or a combination of snick snacks and wine on New Years Eve. Like Em, I really don't know.

Jan-it--meant to comment on yer dinner (yum!)--how did you get the pork moist? I'm always afraid of undercooking pork and subsequently I over do it and it gets dry. Is it a timing thing, or do you have a trick up yer sleeve?

Pseriously considering getting me hair cut into a long shag and relaxed. It's that time of year again :lol: Been growing it out and am getting itchy to do sumphin. B) Opinions? Mark thinks I should do whatever makes me happy (read: stop talking about it and do it), Matt thinks I should keep it the way it is :wub: (not a chance).....

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
