Eh, i don't think so, the retainer i've had for.... 4 years or so? Its still somewhat tender this morning, i think thats partially because when i was flossing the heck out of the area i overdid it and kinda cut the gum.

I don't have the money for a slow cooker right now :/ so i do it on stove top. I'll try to put the meat on for about two or so hours next time and see what happens.

As for the honey, is it the same amount as it says for vanilla? So ex 1tbs would be 1?

Honestly, you don't really have to add anything to replace the vanilla,

it is a taste enhancer only. Adding a bit of honey, about a tablespoon

(or as I like to do, pour it and count one-one thousand) would be just fine.

I make my pot roast on the stovetop as well. I choose roasts between

2-4 lbs, and first, in the pot, brown each side in olive oil and lots seasonings.

Get it nice and brown too, give it at least five minutes on each side with loud

sizzle, but not high enough to smoke. Then add a cup or so of boiling water

(I use my electric teakettle for hot water) using hot water will keep from

bringing the temp of the meat down again. Then cover and leave it alone for

at least two hours on the lowest setting/simmer. If your roast is only 1-2 lbs,

you're done. If it's 3-4, give it a full three hours on the stove.

hehe! It is great to have FB and Twitter to get updates from people. Many can use a cell phone and blast a 5 second message to FB just so that people can know they are all right (or need help! Saw one this AM from some one trapped on their roof, last I heard help was enroute)

Doin' ok:). Lots of wind and rain last night, but all calm this morning. We didn't lose power here, but lots of others did right around here including my son who lives a few minutes away.

Still without phone/cable/internet, but that's minor. Mark doesn't have work today (closed--yeah!), so we'll probably take a ride and see how the rest of the area fared. And buy milk:)

Here in Toronto, the peak rainfall is expected in the next 24 hours. High winds yesterday and overnight have caused damage and there are some power outages. One death is reported--a woman was hit by flying debris.

You can get a basic slow cooker/crockpot at Walmart for under $20. Maybe you should ask for one for Christmas?

A pressure cooker is what I was thinking of, not a slow cooker. Slow cookers are um, slow. :blink: Pressure cookers are fast. B)

I like things fast myself, but I have heard rumors that some women prefer things slow. Could be the reason for the slow cooker preference perhaps? :D

Good to hear you are ok Pateh!

Not just you, me too, and with leg of lamb I do it the Italian way -- just garlic and rosemary (and wine instead of water). This works best if you can convince a butcher to give you a shoulder cut, you know, the old-fashioned butcher still hiding under a rock somewhere :D

Alright guys, i've discovered and killed the second wasp in my room (with dawn dish soap no less). Those bloody bugs keep crawling under my door. All sweet things like honey have been stashed in the fridge.

Do you think i could tape some cardboard on the bottom of my front door, enough to keep them out? I looked around at king soopers when i was there last and found nothing that could help.

I also sent an email to housing telling them about this madness.

You have masking or duct tape? You could hang it at the bottom of the door, sticky side hanging lower than door. If they tried to get in, they would stick. You could use a double sided tape or tape in a circle (like you put on the back of a poster to hang up) & put it on the floor under the door, too.

Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      The normal ranges can vary for the tissue transglutaminase and gliadin antibody celiac tests because the units aren’t absolute. Could you please tell us what the normal ranges are for the laboratory used? If her tissue transglutaminase results are 10-fold above the normal range some would diagnose her on that alone. Endomysial antibody ranges are m...

      The normal ranges can vary for the tissue transglutaminase and gliadin antibody celiac tests because the units aren’t absolute.  Could you please tell us what the normal ranges are for the laboratory used? If her tissue transglutaminase results are 10-fold above the normal range some would diagnose her on that alone.  Endomysial antibody ranges are more standardized, and a titer of 1:5 would usually be normal.  Might that be the normal range and not her result?  Her total immunoglobulin A is normal for her age. (This is tested because if low, then the other IgA tests might not be valid).

      Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it.  My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork.  symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2  because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results :   Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal)   Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well.  anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      By olivia11 · Posted

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.
