Bunnie - I hope that takes care of it and you feel better.

Jess - Just hanging around waiting for Rachelle? On the book it looked like she's out spending money.

Gonna have some tomatoes tonight - will be on the lookout for trouble.

Just got back from a PT appt. Does anyone else spend all their doctor's appointments laughing hysterically?

Don't smack yerselph Bunnie--I just found myself sensitive (really sensitive) to lemons. I hadn't had freshly brewed ice tea in a long time and got a hankering for it last week so I made some. I had a wedge of lemon in a glass every day and after about 4 days I was having D, then ...well suffice it to say that I felt like I was burning from my mouth on down.

Took a week to clear up. I've stayed away from citrus for quite a while ever since my daily orange juice began giving me problems after I went gluten-free. I've read that tomatoes and strawberries can act similarly.

Jeesh :angry:

Ain't that odd, strawberries make my tongue burn so I've never eaten enough of them to cause a problem......

Yeah--I can, and do, eat bushels of blueberries but strawberries make me burn. I'll have a few once in a great while, but that's it.

Right now, I'm making a pot of butternut squash soup wif apples, onion, celery, and a dash of cinnamon. I had some things I wanted to use up, and with just me here I can eat some tonight and have lots left over. It almost smells "Thanksgiving-y" in here :P

What did you do? Did they have you play funny childish games? Or is your PT really funny?

Sounds delicious. I'll help you eat that up! Saw a recipe for something like that - it was one of those recipes that make something simple very complex.

C'mon over :D

I did it very simply--put everything into a pot with chicken broth (sauteed the onion and celery first in a little good olive oil) and cooked until very soft. I was hoping I wouldn't have to drag out the food processor, and tried using a potato masher first. It didn't get nearly creamy enough, so I did have to run it through the processor.

It's really good!

Oh, dear, Bhughnnie - - no tomato pasties for you. Actually, unless you have a SKIN reaction to tomatoes, they would probably be okay........ :rolleyes:

you know what you need? An immersion blender! They're so awesome! And way easier to clean than a whole food processor. You should look it up, you can get a good one for 40 bucks. Good for smoothies and soups and whipping cream and all sorts a stuff!

I know--I was thinking that as I was processing. It's one gadget I don't have.

I don't have one either. I'm running out of room ( oh.. Who am I kidding? I ran out of room 15 years ago) in my kitchen.

That's why these are so great, they take up almost NO space, they can fit in a drawer. If there's space in my kitchen, there's space in yours! I have the least storage of any kitchen I've ever seen, it's ridiculous.

That's true. There's room in ANY kitchen for one. I saw them being used on Ready, Steady, Cook, a British program, and said I gotta have one of those. I have a Braun. It is a mini-processor (chops nuts and stuff like that), then you take the handle part off and attach the blending wand or a whisk. They are really cool.

OOOOH! OK. I think you have talked me into one. There must be something I can get rid of to make space. Maybe the 6 cheap metal cooking spoons with cracked wooden handles?

Goodness! I slept zero hours last night. It's cool and all to see our hotel is a very tall round tower, but you add some wind and rain whipping around that building and yous gets a LOT of noise. I'm now on the boat, about to have to turn my lifeline off and we pick the ONLY seats behind a family of 2 SCREAMING children and their obnoxious baby talking parents and grandparents. The kids are not babies.... I just took 2 motion sickness pills and have no idea what they will do to me, we were too late for me to get my coffee this morning..... We haven't even left the pier yet! I think I shall try to nap--that or laugh watching the woman across from me scowling in disdain regarding these 2 kids. Wonder if I can get away with taking a pic of her.....

Uh oh, iPhone has to go ni-night right now. Love you all, pray we make it alive on this "big boat, yes it is, isn't this a big, big boat" <gag>

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test.

So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
