Welcome to sillyville, Jennifer :D

Did youse guys know that Burts Bees changed their shampoo ingredients big time? :angry: I'm really sensitive to perfumes and such and the one I've used for several years went from containing lots of natural oils to "fragrance". <_<

I've been feeling off--migraines, stumbling around for the right words, b%$@#ier than usual, bloated.....I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what's up and it dawns on me that the shampoo/conditioner bottles have changed. I run in and have a look and sure enough--the ingredients are different. Not a little different--a lot! Even the 'percentage of natural' they put at the bottom of the bottle is different (less).

This happens to me with certain chemicals--especially perfumes and fragrances--but also Splenda. I know you guys understand--sometimes I just get so sick of this :(

Anywho...The Real Housewives of New Jersey start their second season tomorrow night--I'm so (embarrassingly) excited :lol:

Em, I'm really so glad to hear that your mom is doing better. I pray that her eyesight also improves so she can go back to enjoying all of the things that she likes to do. :)

Psills, I have a confession. Whilst I was sitting at my 'puter writing the story I could nae remember da man's name, just knew it began with a "P" and Prick seemed somehow so apropos :D , so to speak. Now that I have gone back to finishing the book I find that actually it is Pitmore - I know, spoils da whole story, but did not want Jen to think I was a liar :unsure::rolleyes: ya know, in case she akshally finds a copy of da book somewheres, which I kinda doubt because very few Kiwi authors make it onto the shelves of American libraries and bookstores.... :P and I know this because I have looked for them. There, have cleared me conscience.... ;) All da rest is true :ph34r:

Every time a fire alarm goes off at the hospital, the local fire department always sends a truck. Now MY neighborhood firefighters are not much to look at, but I'm telling ya, women come from all over the hospital to see these guys when they arrive. I've never seen such a big group of Yum-Yum's (as my papa used to say) :P If my house was in that neighborhood, I'd be setting sumphin on fire! :D

We have Yum-Yum fire fighters here. When the boys were Cub Scouts, we would tour the fire station. The moms would be drooling.

Hi Jen!

Sucks about the Burt's Bees. I would have expected better of them. I think, maybe,not positive, I saw on another post that Burt's was bought out by a BIG company.

Yeah NJ Housewives!

So, the stuff that's been coming outta my son's mouth these days :blink: :blink: I'm sure y'all-'cept Shroomie ;) -saw what he said yesterday, I shall repeat..."Ewwwww, dogs lick their own bottoms, I am NOT going to be a dog when I grow up!" That prompted me to ask what he did want to be when he grew up. He's going back and forth between a mouse and a policeman. Why you may ask.... Well, a policeman carries a gun, duh! And a mouse because they can go anywhere and spy on people..... UhOh!! :o

Today, he saw 2 guys kiss on TV, (nothing obscene ;) ) and he says, "WHAT?? How does that work? Why would one guy kiss another guy?" I said, "Well, I guess that one guy really loves the other guy" He says, "Uh, OK..."

And his 2 new obsessions, The Princess Bride and photography. I have to say, he's a pretty good photographer for being 4 :) MY new obsession is the new Cricut Cake decorator--I WANT I WANT IT WANT!!!!! I was in Michaels yesterday and there was a gal doing a demonstration. I sttod there for as long as I could and asked her a ton of questions before Jesse started to drag me away ;) As he's pulling me out the door, she winks and says, "I'll be here every Sunday, come back and see me!" I will soooo be back!!

I'm done wif the painting, now I have to go in and scrub, scrub, scrub that stupid floor <_< Pray for me that I don't need to dip into my Valium stash--I'm running out! :unsure: And I have to start a fire engine cake for a kid's party this weekend!

Yeah, it's just one of Skaught's tricks to try to get us to spend even more time here so we can spend time reading the adverTISEments, like "Craving glutenfree kisses?" What used to be a part-time job is turning into a full-time job, with new strategies constantly being invented to get the job done. Training our memory powers in the process. My latest stratagem whilst in a hurry is to make notes in wordpad whilst reading and then cut and paste :P

We don't have yum-yum firefighters here :( (Well, some aren't bad) - they are our volunteer friends and neighbours, some of whom I would not want mouth-to-mouth from, thank ya :rolleyes:

Bah to Burt's Bees!! Ya can't trust any company any more. Although... I actually get a lotta help from Vodaphone (who bought out our ISP :rolleyes: ) the other day, but he was a Keewee, not from India or the Philippines, and did have some idea of what he was talking about in an understandable accent (well, to me, anyways; Clay turned him over to me cos he was having trouble :lol: )

I love what pops out of kids mouths. When I was five and had just started school the teacher asked us what we wanted to be. One of my classmates wanted to be a carpenter.... or a thief :unsure: Teacher wisely didn't ask why? :lol: But a mouse is verrry creative, kinda like the proverbial fly on the wall, only sneakier. Cos you *always* know when there's a fly around :)

And, nobody told me about my sex change op -- no wonder I've been having some, uh, 'problems' lately :unsure::o

My kitteh looks at her bum and says, Eeeeww, do I gotta do this? How distasteful!! Clay keeps threatening to crutch her like a sheep, she's soooo fluffy!!! We try to keep her constipated so she has littleBIG rabbit droppings. :lol:

      @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.
