I'm pretty sure it's byow. That way there'll be no arguing over flour paste in casks. If you get glutened it's your own fault.

Oh! thank goodness! I didn't want to be responsible for all that glutening! Robert Mondavi is rolling over in his grave at the thought of flour in his wine!

J had the cold that is going around for about 2 hours. Matt coughed about 5 times. I guess there is some benefit to our over vigilant immune systems. :unsure:

Well I hope none of you were at the party. We don't need the entire board - guests included - coming down with something.

jerseyangel Proficient

We had planned to go to South Jersey over the weekend, but didn't want to give Mark's cold to the kids. We called Matt Friday night to let him know.

Saturday morning I got an email from him saying he woke up with the start of a cold and he musta caught it over the phone. :P

I swear life doesn't slow down :rolleyes: Hub got back from business trip in sunny Orlando, where, for their opening welcome night, the had rented out all of Universal Studios, so he had a blast. I actually had a really good time with the kids and the new bunbun who is attached to me already (and I to him ;) ). I had a brunch at my house for my family Sunday morning and a Demarle dinner party Sunday evening. It was a lot of fun, but we didn't sell a whole lot... Oh well! Back to the grind this week :unsure:

UGH!!dry.gif

Did I tell you guys we're FINALLY getting a new kitchen?? Complete remodel.

GAWD! That dust goes ALL over the house mad.gif

Congrats!!! And gooooooooood luck ;) Twas the worst 2 months of my life and I even have and extra kitchen!

Hello my dear psillies,

I am literally having the !@#$iest birthday of my life!!!!!!! Loey

Happy Birthday! I hope it got better.....

Holy hell.. . . . ..my ass in pancake batter?.. . . .:huh:.....dunno how spiced up that would suddenly make my marriage.. ..,. . .must ask DH. Would one be using a mixmaster in this scenario? Spatula?.. . . .. . .. .I would need quite the frying pan, I fear... . . .... . <_<

Maybe brownie batter, chocolate ganasche.... something like that would probably be better than pancake batter :ph34r:

We need to get all the mods "indisposed". Then we take over. I love the emoticons and the new drunk thread. Excellant ideas. I'm going out to get a pirate flag to fly after the mutiny.

No Chex in Canada? After we take over C.com we will have to work on that! Haaaaaa! Power!

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.
    • trents
      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
