You may be off the hook, Kareighn. :lol:

I'd still like me polar co-ordinated scarf set B)

I'll work on that. It's not really scarf season here.

Went to PF Changs for the first time tonight. I have had regular PF Changs at neighborhood parties as the manager lives across the street. We got 2 gluten-free dishes - spicy chicken and beef with snow peas and used the coupon for free lettuce wraps. It was delicious. They made a big fuss about the Food being gluten-free.

The Changs that I have been to really seem to take pride in their gluten-free food. I just love it there :)

They should be home about 10:30 tonight. July 4 is the worst. They have to completely pack up a huge fireworks tent and put it into trucks. If they get done before the other tent, they go over there to help. Will probably be 2 a.m. :blink:

Just walked down to my public library to discover they're closed all weekend. Huff. At least I got some exercise.

Wish I was in on the mini-psillie gathering!

Well guys, believe it or not, my admitting physician was Dr. John Hung :lol: , and I think he must have changed his name to compensate for the tiny thumbs, like little matchsticks they were :rolleyes:.

A doc came wandering into my two-bed room yesterday morning (other bed empty) and poked his head around and said, "Are you Ms. Salcido??? (incredulously)" I said no, I was not, but asked was he Dr Hung?? :lol: :lol: :ph34r: You could tell I was feeling bettah!

I used to work with a Dr. Wellington Hung.......

He even got a mention in Playboy for his name. I think he was a Pediatric Endocrinologist (Maybe?) but a urologist would have been better. :P

It's just too easy. I imagine his parents laughed hysterically every time they thought about the nicknames their son would get. He almost had to become either some prestigious professional, or a really good boxer.

OMG.. ... . .. must be something about pediatric endocrinologists - - after my diabetes diagnosis as a child, the endo I saw for the first two or three years was a rather severe, older German specialist named Berndt Koch.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a good day so far, but the heat is keeping me indoors at the moment. Fifteen minutes ago, the observation at the airport 2 miles west of here was 90F. With the humidity, it feels like 97F. It could be worse, though. The relative humidity is only 36%.

There is a bit of sadness in the house. Due to escalating problems, we had to send Bagheera back on Friday morning. The difficult and heartbreaking decision came on Thursday. He is such a sweet and loving little guy who gets along wonderfully with humans. Unfortunately, it seems that he needs to be in a one-cat household. :(:(

Sorry to hear about Bagheera. I'm sure he'll find a good home.

POeter, I am so sorry to hear this. A beautiful little kitten like Bagheera will find a new home quickly, for sure.

This brings me to other very sad news that I must mention to you, my dear friends. Our beautiful, dear rescued standard poodle, Charlie, is no longer with us. Such a sad tale, and I am still grieving. He had challenges when we adopted him -- he was devocalized, he had been abused, and he was middle-aged. There was fear of men, lack of socialization and a tendency to be unpredictable with strangers while on-leash due to fear.

Well, after SO much work, so much obedience training, desensitization and counter-conditioning, he still had a long way to go. Last week he suddenly bit Jack, and we knew that was it.... ..the final straw.

He was such a big, beautiful, loving animal. . . ..but some horrid, poor excuse for a human being mistreated him for the first five years of his life, and forever scarred him.

I only wish I had the guy's name. :angry: :angry: :angry:

We are all grieving, and perhaps looking at a new pup during the summer that can be Elsie's new friend.

Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. I guess your dad needed a dog and figured one trained by you would be the best kind.

I hope Jack understands that it wasn't Charlie's doing.

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By EndlessSummer · Posted

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
