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 used to have one of those!!!!

Burned the motor up making milkshakes all the time :P

Love me beans......one of the few things I CAN eat! Have not tried the brownies, though.

Poor Gerald Geraldine :(

This weekend......phamily stuph. Teenage babydaddy nephew went off and got married, so there's a reception tomorrow. Then a family get-together Sunday, because one of Brian's sisters is in town. It will be a surprise for them when my son, Nathan shows up :D

No more school work. Good and bad. Now I'll have time to get some projects done around the house, but no money to spend on them <_<

Did your Hub come home for the weekend? Wish we lived closer, we could do something. My hub and M are going camping and fishing. J will have his own agenda (17 yr olds do). I should clean my closet or something productive but don't wanna.

Patti, it was RobbWolf who talked quite a bit about legumes and lectins - quite interesting :D and very un-Psilly. That's the way I am today. Also interesting (to me) I had just bookmarked a page of his yesterday from another poster here. :huh:

Next weekend. With the holiday, he'll be here 3 whole days :D Closet cleaning is one of those things I have to be in the mood for :P I wish you lived closer too...feels kinda lonely here since we only moved here 6 months ago and although I'm friendly with people, I really haven't made friends so to speak....which I suppose is for the best since I'll be leaving too. If this house ever sells....

Hey, gang!

Well, we Canucks have our long weekend now, a week before our southern neighboUrs - -this is Victoria Weekend, when we celebrate Queen Vicki's birthday. She was quite a monarch, and I am so pleased that we venerate her as we do here. She was one of the first users of chloroform as an anaesthetic during childbirth. She publicly praised and drank the fashionable nineteenth-century cocaine-based drink Vin Mariani that later inspired Coca-cola. AND she outlived 12 of her 42 grandchildren.

Yay, Vicki! :DB)

I plan to do good, Victoria-inspired works today, things like tending to my outdoor fauna, grooming the dogs, visiting my mom..... . . ..dunno if I'll have the opportunity nor the wherewithal to consume any cocaine - - may have to work at that one. ..... .<_<

Sounds like you are having fun. Did you make your husband shoe shop and go to High Tea? That should earn him some gluten-free brownie points!

But of course! They did a vegan tea for me at the Empress, my food was much better than Jesse's ;) Also, they do a celiac meal if any of y'alls are up here sometime!

Well, I think I've finally recovered from Wednesday afternoon evening night...

I followed Wednesday with a Thursday. It was Baaaaaaaaad! I came back to the hotel and passed out before 10. I took 8 shots in 10 minutes..... :blink: Yes, stupid (but tasty!)

Gah! I do hope they were shaped like veritable maple leaves. . .. . ...!

Absolutely!!!!

her thighs?? :blink:

And yes, after this week, they are! The smaller point at the knees and they just keep widening out from there!!! I think we're going to ride bikes up to Butchart Gardens today. That should burn a few calories! 19km each way :o -----Like I know how many miles a km is :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

19 km is 11.7 miles. But it probably seems farther in metric units. It balances out though, cuz everything seems lighter in kilos. 45 kilograms doesn't sound nearly as heavy as 100 pounds (until you actually try to lift it ;) ).

I try to ignore my weight in all forms. I do like my weight if I were on the moon.

I just painted my toe nails an odd shade of red. In the bottle it looked like it would be a lovely burgandy - like the color that you see when you hold a glass of red wine up to the light. On me toesies it looks like dried blood with a shine. But its there, so there it will stay for a few days.

Taking the dog up to the rehab/ nursing home to see my mom. Fun times... :unsure:

Believe it or not, the same thing happened to me recently. We had been invited out to dinner before Mark left, and I was going to wear black so I thought it would be nice to change my toenails from my usual peach to red.

I got a really pretty (I thought) Chianti type deep red, but once I applied it it was too much of a good thing. It was dried blood red and against me very fair (read pasty) skin....oye :unsure:

Kept it on for a while too, but have since gone back to me trusty (boring) peach. :D

Yeah--the look would have been better suited for someone a lot younger than me :lol:

It actually wasn't that bad, it was just sort of jarring.

Holy hot waiter Batman!!! In a kilt too, no less! Thank God for sunglasses :). Our 19km bikeride each way turned into a 4 hour, we don't know where the hell we are, bikeride. Can't say it was particularly fun, but the gardens were beautiful! So here we sit, unable to move, at this awesome Irish pub eating and drinking our aches and pains away ;)

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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 gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

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
