Patteigh!! What's goin' on over there? Are you having a crazy morning? Whassup?

We are still experiencing technical difficulties with computers here at work....as soon as we get them up and running they crash again....and this is hopsital wide!

Amanda, I think perhaps you should be looking closely at some of the employees that surround you .. . . . . . . ....does ANYone, any doctor, orderly, administrator, look ANything like our big phlipover POeter? I think he may have been keeping something from us. . .. . . ..perhaps he is working there part-time, and part-time at the petshop. This would explain the internal high-tech glitches quite succinctly.

Or there's Tareeesa, who recently phlipped over the 500 mark.. . ......

Could she really be that quiet female surgeon who you don't see or speak with much?

Have we ever SEEN a pic of her? Don't think so . . . . . . .and why would that be?. . . . .....hmmm. . . . ..

Maybe one of the sillies is hiding in my office pretending to be here with me!

OMG sillies there is a car in the parking lot literally parked up over the curb!

My coworker is being tested for celiac today- she had an upper gi done a few weeks ago and they saw damage supposedly consistent with celiac.

Hi sillies, I am not caught up just pooping through....have the startings of a cold and just feeling overall dreadful.

Janet, are you feeling better wih your cold??

I did spot Bevel's Key West announcement, WOOT!!!!!

Em, how is your dad??

Amanda, good to see you posting while you are at work working away....atta girl :lol: Still no internet connection at home??

Tom has been quiet :(

I see the rest of you have been keeping the Silly going :lol::lol:

Hi guys!! :D

Just got back from the vets with Harry.

He has been de-peanutted AND vaccinated.

I took him to a vet clinic that does low cost neutering....but when I told them he was a stray I stole took in they waived the fee!!!!!!!!! :D

Anyhoo, am laughing at the poor wee bugger who is frantically licking and cleaning whilst no doubt screaming in his li'l cat mind 'WTF's happened to meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o '

Soo much to comment on but don't have the brain power! :lol:

Oh guys- scary times have reached as far as the hospital. The college side of the hospital has went under a raise freeze. There is a hiring freeze and instead of handing out pink slips they are going to try to reduce the staff by 260 positions by Sept. They will do this by not filling previously vacated spots..... Who knows what happens after Sept....

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
    • Scott Adams
      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
