Fruit leather.... .. ..... .hmmm...well, if it all ends up tasting like crap, you could perhaps fashion them into penis slings -- my BIL was telling us that leather prices have skyrocketed, so his racing sled dogs are doing without........

Jeez, another whole market......I`m such a genius.... :rolleyes:

Brilliance and beauty - all in one!

We'll combine the two ideas and sell "Edible Penis Slings! Practical Protein with that extra rush of sugar energy!!"

Made some blackberry jam, and now I'm making up trying my hand at no-pectin apple-plum jam.

Brillant! The key to a successful product is having a broad appeal. This can be sold at sporting goods stores, health clubs (gyms) cafes, and adult novelty/toy stores. Even those without a penis will want them for thier love ones!

Bet it was a great show, Lo.

Just remembered the Big Man is gone. Bruce has someone else playing tenor sax tho, right?

Re Naturopaths, I saw one for a while. She was helpful on some things, mostly because I was too new to know much about complications. But there was always something else dissatisfying going on. Like claiming she'd said to also be tomato-free when I was recalling the instructions w/ tomatoes being fine & feeling like I wasted that month & whythehellwasntthiswrittendown ....

Didn't like that she wanted to call villi "cilia", or maybe "celia" in her mind. Isn't cilia a word that comes up when microscoping creek water for single-cell organisms, paramecium-breath?

Hmmm maybe the main good thing about her was just that she believed my judgement/evidence that gluten & other things were real problems. Before that, 2 celiac-recommended MDs wouldn't say more than I was "50-50 for celiac"! :angry:

(I'd been dx'd by an MD 30+ yrs before, but no records remained)

I suppose I see NDs as hit-or-miss now.

Thanksfor the helpful answer Tom (and the rest of you). That sucks about your medical records. I've started to get copies of everything. My first issue with the ND is whether or not she'll take my insurance (currently BC/BS but will change to Medicare and Universal Health in mid September). I plan on having a list of questions for her. For some reason I'm intrigued by the Cherokee Healing. I also don't want my meds messed withbecause they're finally at a helpful stage (once I return to the new pain doctor and get my Oxycontin). I also FINALLY have good numbers with my Celiac. It took two years. Now I just have to keep the Leukemia numbers down (and the auto immune).

Did more walking (uphill & down) to get to our seats at the concert than I've done in well over a year. I expected to have trouble moving today but it was the opposite - I seemed more limber. Now I just need to stop falling (that's been a few weeks as well). I was going to see my neurologist this week but I think I'll cancel it for now. I've been reading a lot of Louise Hay and I'm starting to journal again. I'm also set to start painting and have been making jewelry. So I'm just going to keep thinking positively, check out the naturopath (The disability leaves very little left after Medicare is deducted andI need to make it last).Tomorrow the girl I tutor and her mom and siblings are coming over for a work/play date. I just hope Nikki (mom) remembers her son's gameboy because he has ADHD and little patience. We'll do some crafts - I'll set the older sister Cori and her mom up to make jewelry and slip off with Selia to resume our Explode the Code lessons. I can't believe how much better she's reading. I am SO proud of her!Last week Cori and Selia taught me how to make wire and gemstone rings.I thought I'd only be able to handle a half hour but we hung for 2 hours. I know how good it is for Selia but it's even better for me to be able to put my Special Ed skills to use.

Haven't said this in a while but I honestly don't know what I'd do without this Forum. Even when I can't sit long enough to participate I can print it out and still LMAO. laugh.gifYou are all the best! Peoter you MUST do an eastern leg of your travels. It really is lovely up here and boy would I love to give you a bear hug!!!

Love & Hugs,

Loey

We need to be home by Thursday, and are out of range of any more sillies for this loop. Heading home in the morning.

An eastward loop trip may be in the not-too-distant future.

Sounds like (looks like?) it was a great trip!

I is tuckered. 3 days of full on siding repair. I wanted to finish the caulking and priming today, but decided I just wasn't up for any more time on the ladder. Made two batches of jam, picked more berries and plums, and cleaned the sticky mess that was the kitchen.

Just finished hanging the dishtowels outside, and explained to Butch that he was not to sleep next to the jars of jam.

Caulking and priming tomorrow, using my $7 "oops" Primer+Paint. It's about the color of blueberry yogurt, but since my real paint goes over it, I think I can deal.

Peoter needs to meet the "East Coast Chicks" (and dudes for his companion)! I apologize I forgot the lovely lady's name - too much sun today. I fell asleep (it's supposed to rain for a few days so I think I overdid it -( we'll see how long it takes to dry out a Loey like the fruit leather laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif)

Hugs,

Where have my psillies been? I'm finally back and there hasn't been a posting in days! Today we're going to Thimble Islands in CT. You have to get there by boat (in fact the three main boats are tours boats that give a history of the 90+ Islands). A lot of them are inhabited and make the houses in Newport look like chop liver. Having a GREAT week. Did crafts with Selia's family and then tutored her. I didn't realize her brother and mom were waiting in the car the whole time I tutored Selia. So now we have family fun, Her sister will be entering regular high school in the fall an is a hoot.I set them up with a craft to do during tutoring and it's win-win. started painting (the coward's way - before I use my expensive kits I'm painting by numbers. It still allows me to understand the shading. I'll practice strokes next. FINALLY went to the beach with my neighbor Mary for an hour (I had an appointment and boy was it hot anyway).

OK, I have a doctor's appointment in the morning (I finally correlated it that that's when I can't fall back to sleep. Got my timer and a book and hopefully will fall asleep before I have to get up. I do not like AM doctor appointments but if it was later we couldn't do Thimble Islands. I'll report back on our adventure and I expect to see some posts!!!!!

Love& Hugs,

Loey

What were your first three? Are they available on Kindle? My husband self published afar several houses wanted him to make changes that were two important to him. I always thought his book would have made two good ones. One autobiographical and the other on scientific papers and info that went way over my head (I still read his book and "try" to read the essays but wind up back at the autobiography). What saddened me greatly is that he stopped writing. Now our son is the writer in the family so I continue to believe what's meant to be is meant to be.

Keep Writing and let me know about the first three.

Hugs,

Loey

Found you on Amazon. Now I'll go add you to my Kindle. Looking forward to seeing a non celiac side of you!

P.S. How old's your son? You have a beautiful family. My boy is 20 and will be a Junior at Brown in the fall (but you know this from my posts).

Glad to see I am easy to find! :D I hope you enjoy them. As you can see in the reviews some people love them, and some despise them. Not much in the middle ground.

Not sure. We right now holding with him eating a highly restricted diet for now till he is symptom free for a while. Then we can look at possibly adding some non-gluten foods back in and see what happens.

I put on my detective cap and looked at his home page and there was a web site. The kindle copies are very reasonable (one's free). We should start a book club with his novels!

Yea, the mods wont let me actually link to my books (understandably), but if you follow the path that Loey followed you will find them. Or you can just hit Amazon and search on my name.

Good luck with that. Thankfully my son tested negative for celiac. It would have been one more thing for him to blame my genes for (allergies, height, yada..yada).

As far as how people react to your books it's all someone's taste. Now you've already got fans in us because we know you!!! I'm going to start reading volume one on the way to Thimble Island. It's a huge compliment when I put down a book I'm reading before I finish it but JFK Jr will have to wait. I remember the first time I read my husband's book I was afraid I would't like it but I loved it. Too bad no one other than friends did.

Well I'm heading back to the medicare site to see if I can find out the prices of my meds. We had them at one point yesterday and didn't print it. I want to be able to ask my doctors for cheaper meds when possible. Like I can really afford $170 a month for an allergy pill!!!!

Hugs,

Loey

Yep, they're pretty easy to find.

I spent yesterday making four batches of jam. The last, spiced blackberry, is really tasty. :)

Had homemade yogurt with homemade jam for brekkie. :D

I also have a short contract to do some spreadsheet work for a small architectural firm. Guess I should get started on that... :unsure:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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
