I could use a mammoth erection over here... Did I just say that out loud?? :ph34r:

:lol::lol:

I SAW these!!! I wanted to buy them SOOOOOOOOO bad!!! Jesse hates flannel sheets, so he'd HATE them! <_<

Feel Better Lady!!

As of this morning I'm down 17#. Will have the thyroid checked tomorrow. I am able to eat now though. Energy and mood is all good. Maybe I have a tapeworm.... :P

I'm so happy to hear that you're able to eat now. It's funny - with all of the tests I've had I've never had my thyroid checked (perhaps no reason to check it).

Clark just came home from being away for four days and he has two possible connections that would allow him to work from home (or do minor traveling).

So he just gets home and tonight is my sleep study. I've had some surgeries and intense tests but this study scares me more than all of them put together.

Please say a prayer.

I'll let you know how the study goes. unsure.gifunsure.gifunsure.gif

Love,

Loey

Did you know that if you search this sight for "sweet potato" there are 1610 posts about them? (1611 now).

I was trying to find the one Jess gave me last year. You put them in a crockpot with orange juice. They were very good.

I am having a devil of a time figuring out Thanksgiving this year. My mother is supposed to eat extra low sodium. The regular low sodium diet is twice as much sodium. the problem is that she won't not eat it if its being served. Everyone else will be pissed that we aren't having Au gratin potatoes or some other cheeseful sodium laden dish.

Then my Bro who lives in Oregon and rarely communicates with any of us, sends an email last week "Oh, Don't know if I told you, we will be in town for Thanskgiving". They go to his wife's family's house in town. I really don't want them over as she has many food allergies, real & imagined. If she doesn't care for a food, she is allergic to it.

I am thinking of running away from home. :ph34r:

Hmm... . . ..wonder how many posts turn up when you search the forum for "penis" or "teabagging" or "David Hasselhoff"? And I wonder where the posts would be concentrated? .. .... . ...<_<:ph34r::lol:

Kherrighnne, you can only do so much when you're preparing a big meal for countless people -- I would take the low sodium into account, but beyond that you cannot cater to people's myriad "perhaps' allergies. As celiacs we're all there -- if you have trouble with a common food/-ingredient, you need to bring some of your OWN food just in case, and to take the pressure off the overworked cook. I always do this and never feel put out at all.

I got 82 rsults for the Hoff.

What she does is ask for a PB &J at the end of a meal she doesn't eat. Similiar to J who can be a bit picky.

And if my BIL doesn't like it, he can take the $1000+ my parents have given them over the last 3 years for a new oven and buy one! Then invite everyone over there! I am happy to bring my own plate and something to share.

Hub & I were saying we would really rather have lasgna. Not very low sodium but I could balance it out over the whole meal.

Send a polite email reminding him that whatever SIL brings for herself needs to be low sodium for Mum. :)

Can you create a lower sodium version of the potatoes? I found this site: Open Original Shared Link talking about cheeses. Maybe you can practice some cheese sauces combining mozzarella, salt free cottage cheese, and some cheddar to see if you can get something tasty that's reasonably low in sodium.

It says fresh Moz is low sodium. I think we are getting an argument for lasgna. Except SIL only does dairy if chocolate is envolved. I'm hoping they will be eating with her family & just come over to visit.

Honestly, Bro is not on my good list right now. My dad has prostate cancer. My mom has an aortic valve that barely funtions with a 50% chance of surving another year. He won't call them or answer thier emails. Obviously, he isn't going to dr appts or sending a 15 yr old over to clean gutters or cut up tree branches.

End of rant. Jess- do you remember the sweet potatoes?

Hub saw me getting outta the shower last night. His exact words were: "Oh. My. God." I'm 5'11' and I'm down to 157. I'm not sure I think I look good! But my favorite jeans fit! :P

That sounds like a great plan! We're trying to talk my grandma into pitching in and ordering pizzas for Christmas Eve. She always works too hard and then b%$@#es about it! :lol:

I promise that if your parents ever give me $1000 I will buy an oven!!! . . . and have you over for dinner (gluten free AND low sodium)!!!

I found these:

pile the peeled, sliced, taters and yams in the crockpot along with chopped onion and some orange slices. A bit of orange zest is good too, if you like the surprise 'zing' of serious orange flavor while you're eating. You could also add some pie apples, but maybe halfway through cooking so they don't get mushy.

Cook on low for ~6 hours (check them for done-ness at about 4). When done, stir in a few slices of cooked, crumbled bacon (or sprinkle it over the top in the serving dish).

I peel the orange and limit the amount of zest 'cause I don't really like the shock of the intense orange flavor. Maybe dried zest would be a little easier, or just skip it. You could flavor after cooking with a splash of orange liqueur if it needed a bit more. Some people put some orange concentrate in, but I don't like it too juicy.

That's it! Thanks! I will not use the zest if I make them. They got bitter the next day & i think zest might be why.

I think its very convienent to not have a working oven. Can't have anyone over. I think I thought about disabling mine last year.

So yesterday I had to go over the hill to get my hair cut (too short! :( )and just before I start the climb I come up behind this WIIIIIIIDE LOAD truck transporting a brand new building munching machine into the city from the port. They don't normally use my road, but this was too wiiiide for the tunnel, and too wiiiide and loooong to go over the other pass (would have never made it round the switchbacks) and it couldln't go over Evans Pass because that is still closed because boulders keep falling down on it every time there is an aftershock. So there I was chomping at the bit as this thing crawled up MY road taking up the whole width of the road and going about 4mph. And it was all shiny and new and yellow but pretty soon it would be out in the tomato patch like all the other building munching hornworms, wreaking destruction and loving every minute of it whilst its cowboy operator would be having the time of his life just tearing things down as little boys like to do. I suppose it's just as well we have men because I couldn't be out there munching up all those lovely buildings - not permitted on my diet :P When I eventually arrived at my parking lot just after twelve, I asked the parking fairy to make a place for me, and I got the last one in the lot. By the time I got out of my car at least six vehicles were circling :lol: And my hair is still too short!!!!

My dad was excited to tell me he got 3 tattoos today of a religious nature! If I posted a pic of them, I would be banned.

He had his first radiation treatment for prostate cancer. They tattoo little crosses to help line up the radiation machine correctly. He is finding the whole thing quite interesting. :D

But, unfortunately.....Shroomie's hair is too short!

Hey, all you parents out there, RELAX!!! No need to worry about the kiddies getting their veggies in the schoo lunch program. The US House of Representatives voted today declaring pizza to be a vegetable (providing it has at least two tablespons of tomato paste!!) :lol: Hurray for pizza and french fries, the school veggie staples. :blink:

I read something about that in the newspaper. Wow, that makes me feel so much better. So my question is: Is that two tablespoons per slice or per pie? :huh: Either way, it's probably gross and I'm glad my kids can't eat it... :lol:

It's been a fun couple days here. Butch has learned that toilet lids can be up, or down, and I have learned that Butch can jump up to the stove - and likes eggs.

I need me some of that veggie-laden pizza.

If I dip my french fries in ketchup am I getting two servings?

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
