I believe it is registered with the FDA. It came with papers listing ingredients, nutrition info and safe care & handling practices.

But is it gluten-free? Inquiring minds want to know.

The big boss called him, and two other engineers, all with the same PM, into his office and told them to quit worrying about their jobs. So now I'm thinking the PM's butt is on the line and that's why she's treating the guys under her like crap.

Jesse has a meeting with HR and his boss today to talk about how upset he is that he didn't get the promotion he was up for (it totally should have been his), and how unsatisfied he is working for the company and the direction he thinks it's heading. He thinks they will give him 2 options for immediate advancement- district sales manager in Cincinnati or the head of the Service Excellence dept. So we either have to move for job 1 or he has to travel 3 days a week for job 2. We shall see.....

Actually, there are 2 more options....keep the same job or leave.

Do you want to move?

Not sure as I don't plan to eat Fluffy Snoflake Coconut Sugar Head. Much disagreement about a name for this pup. 7 year old girl wants names like coconut or snowball. 3 older brothers & dad want a name they aren't embarrassed to call. My boys said someone needs to explain that names with balls or nuts in them are not good choices.

Perhaps, we should have Max speak to her?

For him, the only other option is to leave the job. He doesn't want to continue in his current position bc it's getting him nowhere and he's way too driven to stay put. I would prefer he take the traveling job. If he takes the job in Ohio, he would be working every night until about 8pm anyway, so he'd never get to see us. I currently work 3 12's and on those days I only get to see the kids for about a half hour before they're off to bed. He could Skype with them on the nights he's out of town and see more of them than I do... And then I would be able to cut my hours to be home with the kids every afternoon. I feel like I might be a little selfish in my choice :unsure:

Yes, lets involve Max :lol: The name would be something like Darth Maul, Jabba, etc... I think if you have a fluffy white girlie dog, you need to counterbalance that with a strong, menacing name :P

--Max hasn't mentioned his balls in weeks! :lol::lol:

Oh! Get this--Preface: When we were thinking about getting another bunny, the name 'Simon' just came to me. Have no idea where it came from... Anyway-So I'm out on my front porch making ice cream and this neighbor is out on a walk. He comes up to the porch and starts chit-chatting about how long he's been in the neighborhood, how the guy that owned our house was a crazy bastard, the house was a stye (sp??), he had about a dozen cars, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, he starts talking about this guy's dog who would case out the neighborhood, making sure that everyone and everything was in place :P The dog's name..... Simon :o

So apparently, in addition to the last owner's mother haunting our house (nicely), the spirit of Simon the dog is around too! :blink:

I will suggest those names! She liked Optimus Prime, the transformer, but we agreed it was too hard to yell if the dog is running down the street.

Sooooooo, the meeting didn't go fabulously. He's pissed and disappointed. Sounds like the traveling job is definately an option if he's interested, but it's just temporary until he/we move. He said, and I agree, if we're going to move, let's go somewhere we WANT to go. East coast perhaps. N or S Carolina, New York, Maine, Virginia, Massachusetts.... Who knows. I don't like to see him unhappy and unsatisfied. I feel like they want him to stay in this division bc he's an asset to them, so they keep putting him off, hoping he'll quit b%$@#ing.

Boo <_<

So is this the place to vent about my inlaws? Ugh. We're moving in a few weeks and they want to come visit to "help". This is sure to make my move more stressful. Found out this morning IL's and BIL are all coming the day BEFORE we move and expect to stay with us. Umm...we live in a tiny two BR apartment. Our spare room has been an office, we don't have an extra bed and I have already packed the extra sheets. Office is already piled high with boxes and I was planning on filling it up more. MIL and FIL have complained about every hotel they have ever stayed in while visiting us (the last time being our wedding and they CHOSE their hotel). They will have to sleep on the couch (not a pull out) and an air matress in the living room (which is so small we will be stepping over them to get to the gallery kitchen). They also always complain about restaurant food no mater where we go. They haven't visited since my major dietary changes and no matter how much we try to explain they don't understand. I had a nigthmare last night that I came downstairs in the new house after moving and found MIL toasting regualar bread in my gluten-free toaster! Argh!!! :o

You & especially thier child, Hub, must put your foot down. You are not able to have guests, you are moving. You would love to have them in 2 weeks, 1 month... when you are settled and able to enjoy a visit. Everything is packed. You have plenty of helpers. I have a feeling MIL will set up your kitchen, etc.

Honestly, they can't come just decide to come without an invitation. Your husband is going to have to put his foot down with these people. YOu doing it probably won't matter. You are just that stupid girl who took thier son away.

Tell them "Great! Everything is packed, and the office is full of boxes, so bring sleeping bags and you can sleep on the kitchen floor." Ask them to pick up some instant coffee on their way, and some disposable bowls, and maybe extra milk so you can all have breakfast together before you get started. You'll provide the cereal.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

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

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.
