It's the k cup thread and Jan-it all over again :o :o :o

On your mark, get set, GO!

Test sucked. :angry::( I'm trying to convince BE to console me. :ph34r: :ph34r:

So sorry. They'll be other tests and I know you'll do well. One test at a time. Any chance it was curved?

Sending positive energy,

Loey

P.S. hope BE will console you- you deserve it!!!

Loey Rising Star

He apparently wasn't too hard to convince. I'm thinking 'console' requires a lot more energy than 'rectify'. I got a lotta tension to work out.

We only got half the test initially, and then the rest, and somehow I missed an entire page. :angry: :angry: And it was the part on conditional probabilities, which, of course, is my best topic. :rolleyes::ph34r::blink::lol: :lol: :ph34r:

I'm following that race. :P

Maybe prof will let you take the rest? Worth asking him!

Didn't we decide it was riding the broomstick? Enjoy whatever it is!!! rolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif

BTW, Fell again last night. Partially due to slippery floor but I'm also thinking it's the med that the GI gave me for the cramping (the last three falls were all since I was on it). Superman told me he said that after the first fall. I always take a while to listen. Lois Lane has a mind of her own. Going to stop taking it. Got a referral for a GP and a Neurologist.

Loey

P.S. getting ready to go to the train station. Also loved the first painting class. I was drawing on my canvas. Will start painting it next week. Will talk to you all again either Saturday before we see our son (YAY) or Monday. Gonna miss all my psillies!!!!

yah, stop taking that stuff. Painting class sounds great.

Prof gave me 15 minutes to do the page I missed. Not sure I got any more points (how the $%*&$ do you integrate y(e^(-lambdax-lambda(y/x)))/x ????) but at least I tried.

Not pain meds per say but Donnatal (which I think is pheno-barbital). He originally gave me something that gave me the big D. Wasn't taking it often but now that I think about it it coincided with the falls (and during the day made me nap).

Hope you did better on the test than you think.

Hugs to you all,

I'll be there in spirit!!!

Have fun!!!

Have a good time, Lough....be careful! ;)

Jess--great news about the test. I'm sure you did well :)

Was it Levsin? My doc gave me that early on--made me dopey and didn't do a thing for my cramping. Have you tried laying down wif a heating pad?

psawyer Proficient

Donnatal is a combination of active ingredients. I was on it for a while for my "irritable bowel" in my early twenties. It has atropine (belladonna), phenobarbital and other ingredients. Like Immodium, it may help ease the symptoms of celiac disease, but does nothing to address the underlying problem.

It's the thread on k-cups, Em...

Apparently not a side effect of Celiac that I have!

Gads I am starving today. And I messed up my experiment yesterday so I don't have to finish it today. Maybe I'll wander down to the store and find myself a treat.

I've never tried those, how are they?

Not that anyone asked me :lol: but they're really good. The chocolate ones are too good--can't keep 'em in the house cause I can't stay away from them. The strawberry, in my opinion, is way too sweet.

      @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.

      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.

      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.
