Carrots, celery, green peppers, cilantro, onions, black beans, white beans, garlic powder, ham, home made turkey broth. Crock over night, then add smoked paprika and a little hot sauce.

I made this today. Used Kitchen Basics veg broth. Came out delicious. Cooked too fast so I will re- heat it for dinner. Thanks, Jess!

Jestgar Rising Star

Awesome! It's pretty much my mom's soup recipe. I have fond memories of stuffing myself on this growing up.

My mom would have made it the same way but without the green pepper, cilantro, paprika, celery, carrots, garlic...anything with flavor. :P

BE asked me this weekend if there were anything he's doing, or not doing, that needs to be changed. I told him I really would like to be 'courted' a little more, maybe taken out somewhere once in a while.

He called today and asked if he could court me this evening. Perhaps take me out for dinner and drinks. :wub: :wub:

How often do you find a man who actually listens to what you say. :wub: :wub:

And, as a bonus, I'm hoping to borrow his staple gun. I'll let you know if that works out.

Update:

First, to bring all psillies up to speed . . . Skeeter (code name for me daughter) participated in a scavanger hunt at her orthodontist's office. She had to get her picture taken (with a banner from the office or wearing her T-shirt which had the office's name on it) with/at 100 different items/locations. Stuff like . . . in the produce aisle, making a snowman, at the beach (but NOT making a snowman AT the beach, that would be psillie), at a theme park, with a policeman, with a clown, with yellow flowers, with your favorite teacher, on a ferris wheel, doing kareaoke, on a trampoline, dressed as a hippie, dressed as the opposite sex, at a river, at a concert, with a lobster, with a rainbow, on a boat . . . get the idea?

Three kids out of the whole office completed the entire list so their names went into a drawing . . . and Skeeter won. She won a Dell mini laptop - Nickelodean edition. It's actually a cute little computer. I told her she won something (but didn't tell her she won the top prize) and that we had to go pick it up at the Ortho office. She was blown away . . . and really put on the excited/freaked out/giggly 9-yr-old girl show at the office and made the staff's day.

Well done, Skeeter!! :D :D And what a prize! Jyaghnutt, you realize that you could have kept her victory quiet from her, sold the computer on ebay and put the cash toward your massive active ortho bill. Guess it's too late now, huh? <_<

Congrats to Skeeter! That was a lot of work for her mom!

Pheline phurry phun here tonight. Becky, who lives at the store, is visiting us at home overnight. She is going to see the vet in the morning. We tried letting her run loose, but the three resident phelines all got their backs up. We didn't want to confine her cuz she claws at the carpet under the door trying to get loose.

Current status: She is locked in the master bedroom, and we have a shock mat deployed beside the door. She touched it once. We think she got the message.

She had been on a weight-loss diet for about a year, but in the summer we had her teeth cleaned of tartar. Since then she has been increasingly demanding of food. In the last few weeks she has ripped open six bags of food in the store. She has put some weight back on, and is limping again.

Obviously, this can not continue. We are trying to find a solution which keeps the weight off her without destroying store inventory. She is at risk for pheline diabetes, and there is no way we can keep her in the store while adhering to the needed insulin injection schedule. If she develops diabetes, she will have to come home (the trial tonight was not successful), or find another home. We do have an option available there.

Dang!!! I had not thought of that!!! . . . yep, too late now . . . ;)

. . . and Karen, Hubby was the one who did most of the work. I knew she had a good shot at it as this was right up his alley as far activities go . . . "Hey, let's go to the State Fair . . . we can get a picture with the ferris wheel, with a clown, on the tractor, with a turkey, and eating ice cream all in one day!!"

Hows about surrounding your inventory of cat food by shock mats?

Um. Doorway 30 inches wide. Store 2,200 sq ft. :huh:

Hey!! At this time of year I need a couple of shock mats right in front of my fridge.. . . . .... ..Where do I pick these things up, POeter?

psawyer Proficient

The device is a Open Original Shared Link. We used to carry them when the product was produced by Contech. It was taken over last year by PetSafe. You may be able to find it at PetSmart. You may also find it online at the site named after a large South American river.

Jess- Hub loved the ham & bean soup, too. He used the Frank's hot sauce. :blink: If the scientist thing doesn't work out, maybe you could be personal chef? I think I have about $24.47 in my purse.

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
