Hate when I do stuff like that. I forgot I couldn't eat walnuts. Remembered was reminded after eating a whole bowl of them....

We really are quite the group, aren't we? :lol:

Bunnie - I hope that takes care of it and you feel better.

Jess - Just hanging around waiting for Rachelle? On the book it looked like she's out spending money.

Gonna have some tomatoes tonight - will be on the lookout for trouble.

Just got back from a PT appt. Does anyone else spend all their doctor's appointments laughing hysterically?

Don't smack yerselph Bunnie--I just found myself sensitive (really sensitive) to lemons. I hadn't had freshly brewed ice tea in a long time and got a hankering for it last week so I made some. I had a wedge of lemon in a glass every day and after about 4 days I was having D, then ...well suffice it to say that I felt like I was burning from my mouth on down.

Took a week to clear up. I've stayed away from citrus for quite a while ever since my daily orange juice began giving me problems after I went gluten-free. I've read that tomatoes and strawberries can act similarly.

Jeesh :angry:

Ain't that odd, strawberries make my tongue burn so I've never eaten enough of them to cause a problem......

Yeah--I can, and do, eat bushels of blueberries but strawberries make me burn. I'll have a few once in a great while, but that's it.

Right now, I'm making a pot of butternut squash soup wif apples, onion, celery, and a dash of cinnamon. I had some things I wanted to use up, and with just me here I can eat some tonight and have lots left over. It almost smells "Thanksgiving-y" in here :P

What did you do? Did they have you play funny childish games? Or is your PT really funny?

Sounds delicious. I'll help you eat that up! Saw a recipe for something like that - it was one of those recipes that make something simple very complex.

C'mon over :D

I did it very simply--put everything into a pot with chicken broth (sauteed the onion and celery first in a little good olive oil) and cooked until very soft. I was hoping I wouldn't have to drag out the food processor, and tried using a potato masher first. It didn't get nearly creamy enough, so I did have to run it through the processor.

It's really good!

Oh, dear, Bhughnnie - - no tomato pasties for you. Actually, unless you have a SKIN reaction to tomatoes, they would probably be okay........ :rolleyes:

you know what you need? An immersion blender! They're so awesome! And way easier to clean than a whole food processor. You should look it up, you can get a good one for 40 bucks. Good for smoothies and soups and whipping cream and all sorts a stuff!

I know--I was thinking that as I was processing. It's one gadget I don't have.

I don't have one either. I'm running out of room ( oh.. Who am I kidding? I ran out of room 15 years ago) in my kitchen.

That's why these are so great, they take up almost NO space, they can fit in a drawer. If there's space in my kitchen, there's space in yours! I have the least storage of any kitchen I've ever seen, it's ridiculous.

That's true. There's room in ANY kitchen for one. I saw them being used on Ready, Steady, Cook, a British program, and said I gotta have one of those. I have a Braun. It is a mini-processor (chops nuts and stuff like that), then you take the handle part off and attach the blending wand or a whisk. They are really cool.

OOOOH! OK. I think you have talked me into one. There must be something I can get rid of to make space. Maybe the 6 cheap metal cooking spoons with cracked wooden handles?

No, Jess is phabulous! Had a great dinner, I mean vodka, and she's right-he always makes sure the ladies have enough vodka :). Had a crazy walk up a crazy huge hill, now I'm toast-and still woozy.... Off to Canadia tomorrow, will post some pictures tomorrow!

Goodness! I slept zero hours last night. It's cool and all to see our hotel is a very tall round tower, but you add some wind and rain whipping around that building and yous gets a LOT of noise. I'm now on the boat, about to have to turn my lifeline off and we pick the ONLY seats behind a family of 2 SCREAMING children and their obnoxious baby talking parents and grandparents. The kids are not babies.... I just took 2 motion sickness pills and have no idea what they will do to me, we were too late for me to get my coffee this morning..... We haven't even left the pier yet! I think I shall try to nap--that or laugh watching the woman across from me scowling in disdain regarding these 2 kids. Wonder if I can get away with taking a pic of her.....

Uh oh, iPhone has to go ni-night right now. Love you all, pray we make it alive on this "big boat, yes it is, isn't this a big, big boat" <gag>

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
