No new weight shall be garnered by the citizens of Psillyville from the consumption of any and all alcoholic libation.

Fab! We have been on a trip and forgot to bring a wine opener. Wish we had seen this very educational video. Why don't they teach these practical and important lessons in school?

Oh, I'm sure they're good for sumfin......but they smell too much like cigs :D

I've been popping in and out the past few days, reading along and doing my duties ;) Just not chatty. I've been stuck in Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I'm almost done with The Girl Who Played with Fire. Has anyone else read these? Was anyone else as ticked off at the end of the Dragon book?!?!

I've also changed the name of our house to the "Harvey Hostel" My brother and his girlfriend moved in...temporarily...on Sunday and DH's cousin and his girlfriend are moving in tonight...temporarily...I'm in denial. I didn't need to double the amount of people in my home in a week and we have no idea how long it will take for these young'ns to find apartments :blink: We are down 2 bathrooms too. And no one is paying rent or helping with groceries. Or helping with meals. I actually don't mind my brother being there. We've been thru a lot together and it's nice to spend some calming time together.

Anyone else need a room? Can't promise a view, or a room wifout big-arse spiders, but yer more than welcome, and I do bake ;):D

Me too! Read the Dragon Tattoo while in ICU - gave me summat to do besides flutter :P and no, I didn't mind the ending that much. Am halfway through The Girl Who Played with Fire, but like you, have been doing my duties!! ;) on the QT.

Ye gods, Rayshellle, boarders who don't pay board OR earn their keep :rolleyes: Is this some kind of of charity you're operating, like a halfway house or somefink?

Don't think I'll take up yer offer cuz big-arse spideys and I don't get along too well :blink: It's either them or me what's got to go.

It going to be 100 here tomorrow & humid. I don't mind spiders. Could bring a spider & a bug book & magnifiers & the kids & I could identify your insects, Isopods and arachnids.

I was just gonna say how it cracks me up when Patti says "just sayin"

:lol:

I've read the Dragon book . . . I also didn't have a problem with the ending. Have not read any of the others but they are on my list. Book club took a field trip to see the movie (had subtitles) . . . my imagination was not quite as graphic as the movie. I've heard they are going to do an American version.

RayShell . . . I'm going to beg off a visit to your house for now seein' how I just got home and all. Also, when I do visit, I am willing to kill or relocate big-arse spiders and thus hope to earn my room and board.

Yes, please come! I've put down glue traps inside one of my basement closets and I checked tonight-apparently there was a pack that was on it's way out of the closet when they were so rudely stopped by my trap. I caught 5 big, hairy beasts :blink:

I think I would pay you to come and stay if you'd take care of the spiders for me!

I was really happy with the Dragon book until the very last page....the way the relationship worked itself out wasn't what I was expecting. I'm 3/4 done with the Fire book and it's all the same characters so it continues. It's really, really good!!

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
    • deanna1ynne
      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      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.
