Venison is farmed here in NZ, marketed in U.S. as cervena. It gets rid of the gaminess and really has quite a mild flavor. Try some if you see it :)

Football game was mostly dry. Medium rain, no lightening, starting at the begining of the 4 th quarter. Even better , we won! Even more better, J had a fabulous game!

Trying to remember what I just read. Loey & Dixie - I'll clean up after them, Mom! Honest!

Had ostrich. Does emu taste like that? Thought ostrich tasted beefier than beef. A most delicious hamburger! Have had BBQ alligator and thought it did taste like chicken.

It is a very gamey, very bloody meat. My father is a hunter too and he always soaked his venison in salt water to get rid of some of the gamey-ness.

I had to stop eating it cause it made me run to the bathroom too much.

Don't think I'll try it after all. If I can't stand the smell of chicken for now I think that the strong smell of venison might would also be too much.

I'll have t oask the women at the local Farm if she sells it and if it tastes mild. She doesn't sell turkeys or I'd give her my Thanksgiving business (I like to support small businesses and farms).

I am SO excited that our son called and wants us to have dinner with all the parents of the kids he hangs out with. It's the first time he's included us. it will be a hectic day but filled with fun things!

Loi$$ I really like this one!

WAAAAA - Yu were missed!!!!! Don't ever leave us again!!! Correct spelling is not optional here from what I've pseen.

When I taught G & T (3,4,& 5) the students would correct my spelling. And I'm also comma phobic because I suck at using them so badly (I also always seem to type a lower case i when it should be upper case).

Going back to bed. Thought I'd stop in to say hi.

P.S. and let's not forget the unflattering nickname of Lowass

For sure, cuz I'd probably hit on her if I saw her too, she's adorable! :P

I love her short new "do." We're going up there to go out to dinner with Tony (our son) and the parents of the friends he hangs out with at school tonight. We were shocked when he called to invite us. He's been distant since he got there. He was very angry that we moved the summer before he left for college. I doubt that I'll see her. It's Parent Visitation Weekend and I've had the postcard since September but brain fog kept me from noticing that we were supposed to register for it and now it's too late. Dinner will be a nice substitute and seeing who he spends his time with is more important.

I was tearing through my closet to find something nice (and somewhat hip/stylish) to wear. Most of my wardrobe is Chico's but a lot is too big since I lost over 40 lbs with this illness. I also have very thin hair to the point of embarrassment (considered a wig). Wasn't aware Celiac could cause it. I had my son at 40 and was always considered the cool mom (I think his friends from home still think of me that way - just not my son). My illness must have been hard on him. My husband was commuting to us from our new home on the weekends and I was moody and cranky before my illness and then was bedridden. My hubby was only home from late Friday night until early Sunday from March until we moved at the end of June (the day after Tony graduated).

OK, somehow a response to your response about Emma Watson became VERY long. Sorry. wacko.gif

Off to get ready to meet a forum member who lives in my state at a Health Food Store midway between us. She's very involved in the State Celiac Support Group and is bringing a lot of information for me. She's on the labeling committee.

I forgot to say high before either.

I have - dozens of em in fact. Driving back to CA from MN, through Wyoming. My turn at the wheel, Clay asleep having filled his tummy w/ dinner in Laramie, beyoutiphul landscape with the first fall of light snow and lovely sunset, and then the dark came :ph34r: :ph34r:. The speedometer on the car was broke, I80 was only two lanes through there at the time, and there was nothing out there on the road except me, the truckers and the jackrabbits :unsure: I was a fairly new driver, (really! late bloomer!) had no idea how fast I was going (or not going). So these @/&*^ truckers and I got into this kind of duel on the highway. They would go roaring past me on the flat, almost blowin me offin the road, and then I would have to pass them on the upgrades, risking life and limb. And all the while, there were these durned jackrabbits, just sitting there in the middle of the road with that headlighty look. And I said, danged if I's goin to swurve to avoid these stoopid critters and further risk life and limb, so every so often, BOOM!, there goes anuvver jackrabbit. And ya know what? I didn't even feel gillty about it neither :P I was just grippin the wheel and hangin on. And Clay stayed asleep till I woke him on the outskirts of SLC and said I weren't driving into the city, and we missed all the motels and found this scrungy one what had bedbugs :blink: so we got two or three hours of nonsleep and then hit the road again :rolleyes: Ah, the joys of highway travel. Stay tuned for the next episode entitled "The Agonies of Scrunching Yerself into an airline seat for 13 hours"

Low-hiss, you can come to my house and cook rabbit anytime. For a country overrun with bluddy rabbits it's almost impossible to find one in the store because no one can raise em without swearing on a stack of bibles that they won't be released into the wild, or summit like that. And rabbit and goat is about all I ate in Italy - even then I wasn't eating pasta or gelato :(

That is my all-time favorite movie!! It is heelaryus!!!

Labour Weekend here, so one is forbidden to work. Might go to the local fair tomorrow and today I am going to make some florentines for my sister's visit - she adores them and I found a recipe in the food section of the paper. Of course because of the quake there are no dried cranberries in the stores so I had to get blueberries and cherries. Will let you know how they turn out.

Wishin' I could have rabbit for dinner :P

Where are you that it's Labor Weekend? I'd love to make the stew for you. It came out delicious. Gave me slight pain but I seem to be all right today.

I'm trying to plan Thanksgiving dinner and my son actually prefers duck to turkey (I'll have to special order it and make two because my son and hubby will want leftovers). It's a pain in the butt to make because you spend the whole day pricking it and inevitably get grease all over the stove.

The last time I made duck (first time in our new house) it was my son's last request meal before leaving for college the next day. By the time I was done the oven was a mess! We had to clean it (thankfully it self cleans). Well the construction company never hooked the oven vent up to the outside when our house was built. The house was unbearable wile the oven self cleaned and the smoke detector kept going off. We had someone come in to fix it since then so this time the fumes will go outside.

What are Florentines? We watch a lot of spanish movies because my husband's family was from Spain and he spent two long portions of his childhood there. When he came back one of the times and was in public school here he pretended he didn't speak English. Eventually one of the kids asked the teacher why he spoke it on the playground. Busted!!!!!

OK, time to get moving. I woke up at 3:30 this morning and have been at the computer since. Time to get ready to meet someone from this forum who lives in my state. We're meeting at a Health Food Store. Boy will I ever be tired tonight when we meet our son for dinner!!!!wacko.gif

And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen

Eye trussed too bee a joule

The checker pours o'er every word

To cheque sum spelling rule.

And if we're lacks oar have a laps

Of nun eye am a wear.

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.        
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops.
