Maybe I should check your spelling (or maybe not - I might not do American so well any more) because I was promoted a grade for being such a good speller - then ended up in high school when I was eleven :( Stunted my emotional growth :rolleyes:

Ahhhh, thanks :wub: I had applied for that gluten-free writer's job on about.com last year but was turned down for lack of writing experience. I had to send in a sample and apparently, they didn't like it :rolleyes: I used to be a pretty good writer. Won some awards for my short stories and poetry in middle and high school. Maybe if you don't use it you lose it... I'll try it out this weekend and see what he thinks. Jesse had sent him my blog info and he called Jesse back saying he loved it and wanted me to write for him!

I am SO not touching the wee melons. :ph34r:

Today did not start well.

We usually take Tuesdays off, and have a chance to sleep later, and have a lazy start to the day. It started off as usual, but at 9:30 the phone rings. Associate is hearing beeping noises and Jacquie thinks it is the UPS with a power problem. I talk to Cheryl, and try to diagnose power problem over the phone, but get nowhere.

Throw some clothes on and J & I hightail it down to the store. When we get there, it is not the UPS that was beeping, it was the CPU. Cheryl has been trying to work through a "keyboard problem" with tech support. The UPC scanner and the keyboard use the same feed through a Y-cable, and she is trying to get the spare scanner to work with no success. I get on the horn with the support analyst (whom I have known for almost ten years) and we eventually get it sorted out. But it is noon before J and I get back home and can start making breakfast. :(

This afternoon, we go to a local building supply store where the service is usually good. I need a piece of hardboard cut to size for a display at the store.

Find the required object, and go up to the cashier, with my Visa card ready. ID10T cashier hits the wrong button. She then asks me if I have cash. I say, "I gave you the credit card for a reason," but find a ten dollar bill for the 8.84 purchase. She takes it, but then can not figure out how to give change. Jacquie says, a dollar sixteen. ID10T get out her calculator and still can't figure it out. :blink: Finally voids the sale and does it over on Visa.

So then we go the back where the cutting gets done. ID10T there running the saw can not grasp what I want: (1) cut the length to 29" then (2) cut the width to 23-1/4". It takes repeating the request multiple times, pointing to where to cut, and he still almost does it wrong--fortunately I am watching and stop him. :blink:

Gonna start on making gluten-free pizza in a few minutes. :)

Don't forget the ice cream! Lots and lots of ice cream :D

Phunny, I had a 10 minute conversation wif a patient's wife today about the IDIOT's who cannae count change. Even when the total comes to $8.52 and you give them a 10, they type 10 into the register and the computer reports change as $1.48, they continue to stare into the change drawer trying to figure out how to make $0.48!!! :blink::rolleyes:

ID10T is pronounced eye-dee-ten-tee and is help-desk slang. "It was an eye-dee-ten-tee error" means, well, you can understand without me drawing a picture. ;)

Pizza was excellent.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      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 +

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
