The Pirate burned "a little" scrap wood in an old barebecue last night. Now it looks like an incendiary bomb hit my back yard. :blink:

...And unfortunately I'd have to question the ready availability of size 11 stilettos....

:rolleyes:

Was there at least a morsel of food retrieved from the conflagration? Or was it a bonfire with s'mors?

So I saw this list of things you should and shouldn't talk about. These are the things not to talk about. I'm afraid we have been conducting this whole forum wrong! On the positive side, it appears topics like booze, sex, pirates, sex with pirates, yetis, pets, men in high heels, and in-laws are perfectly acceptable topics.

Don’t suck the fun and positive energy of conversations. Think before you talk when the subjects below are on your mind.

- Illness. -

No-one wants to hear too much about illness and bad health. It’s a downer. And people in general don’t want to reflect too much on things like: “Hmm, I wonder when I’ll get sick and how that will be”. It can put anyone in a sad and negative emotional state.

- Your crappy boss, job etc.

.

-Hard to relate to hobbies and similar subjects.

.

- Serial killers and other creepy subjects. -

An obvious one. Just like talking about illness talking about Jeffrey Dahmer, stalkers and similar subjects can make people really uncomfortable.

Edited to add: these are not the C.com rules! These are rules for conversation from some article I saw on the Internet.

dang, there goes my next new thread :lol:

(okay, note to self: ditch telling them about my recent tragic shoulder injury while learning to zip line across the back acreage so I could spy on my weird neighbor whose family members have disappeared, one by one)

Now, I'm simply too lazy to find the forum codes of conduct and read them (amazing, really, with my history on this thread that I remain on here as a member <_<:rolleyes:), so I'll ask: is this really written in the rules? "No one wants to hear too much about illness and bad health"?? It "puts people in a sad and negative emotional state"??

:huh:

:huh:

It's a CELIAC DISEASE FORUM.

Actually, it's kind of funny.

Hon, I think she saw it somewhere else. (Not seriously about c.com.) heck, if the members here could NEVER talk about their rotten health, some people would have NOTHING to talk about.

I wear size 8 :lol: )oh you mean my neighbor? he's always barefoot)

.... but it really was foolish of me to wear them-- and the fishnets ---while zip-lining.

But they did help break my fall.

Excusez moi, but what the heck is ziplining? I'm from hicksville, remember??

Bah. Grouchy today. Working on the house, painting 'n' stuff. Took a break from scraping up on the roof to powerwash one of the yuckier walls. Lots of scary looking spots. The Pirate came out and started poking his knife into the boards - some of them just kind of dissolved under his fingers. :ph34r: :ph34r:

On the up side, guess I'll get to learn how to re-side a house. :huh::angry:

      @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.
