Fruit leather.... .. ..... .hmmm...well, if it all ends up tasting like crap, you could perhaps fashion them into penis slings -- my BIL was telling us that leather prices have skyrocketed, so his racing sled dogs are doing without........

Jeez, another whole market......I`m such a genius.... :rolleyes:

Brilliance and beauty - all in one!

We'll combine the two ideas and sell "Edible Penis Slings! Practical Protein with that extra rush of sugar energy!!"

Made some blackberry jam, and now I'm making up trying my hand at no-pectin apple-plum jam.

Brillant! The key to a successful product is having a broad appeal. This can be sold at sporting goods stores, health clubs (gyms) cafes, and adult novelty/toy stores. Even those without a penis will want them for thier love ones!

Bet it was a great show, Lo.

Just remembered the Big Man is gone. Bruce has someone else playing tenor sax tho, right?

Re Naturopaths, I saw one for a while. She was helpful on some things, mostly because I was too new to know much about complications. But there was always something else dissatisfying going on. Like claiming she'd said to also be tomato-free when I was recalling the instructions w/ tomatoes being fine & feeling like I wasted that month & whythehellwasntthiswrittendown ....

Didn't like that she wanted to call villi "cilia", or maybe "celia" in her mind. Isn't cilia a word that comes up when microscoping creek water for single-cell organisms, paramecium-breath?

Hmmm maybe the main good thing about her was just that she believed my judgement/evidence that gluten & other things were real problems. Before that, 2 celiac-recommended MDs wouldn't say more than I was "50-50 for celiac"! :angry:

(I'd been dx'd by an MD 30+ yrs before, but no records remained)

I suppose I see NDs as hit-or-miss now.

Thanksfor the helpful answer Tom (and the rest of you). That sucks about your medical records. I've started to get copies of everything. My first issue with the ND is whether or not she'll take my insurance (currently BC/BS but will change to Medicare and Universal Health in mid September). I plan on having a list of questions for her. For some reason I'm intrigued by the Cherokee Healing. I also don't want my meds messed withbecause they're finally at a helpful stage (once I return to the new pain doctor and get my Oxycontin). I also FINALLY have good numbers with my Celiac. It took two years. Now I just have to keep the Leukemia numbers down (and the auto immune).

Did more walking (uphill & down) to get to our seats at the concert than I've done in well over a year. I expected to have trouble moving today but it was the opposite - I seemed more limber. Now I just need to stop falling (that's been a few weeks as well). I was going to see my neurologist this week but I think I'll cancel it for now. I've been reading a lot of Louise Hay and I'm starting to journal again. I'm also set to start painting and have been making jewelry. So I'm just going to keep thinking positively, check out the naturopath (The disability leaves very little left after Medicare is deducted andI need to make it last).Tomorrow the girl I tutor and her mom and siblings are coming over for a work/play date. I just hope Nikki (mom) remembers her son's gameboy because he has ADHD and little patience. We'll do some crafts - I'll set the older sister Cori and her mom up to make jewelry and slip off with Selia to resume our Explode the Code lessons. I can't believe how much better she's reading. I am SO proud of her!Last week Cori and Selia taught me how to make wire and gemstone rings.I thought I'd only be able to handle a half hour but we hung for 2 hours. I know how good it is for Selia but it's even better for me to be able to put my Special Ed skills to use.

Haven't said this in a while but I honestly don't know what I'd do without this Forum. Even when I can't sit long enough to participate I can print it out and still LMAO. laugh.gifYou are all the best! Peoter you MUST do an eastern leg of your travels. It really is lovely up here and boy would I love to give you a bear hug!!!

Love & Hugs,

Loey

We need to be home by Thursday, and are out of range of any more sillies for this loop. Heading home in the morning.

An eastward loop trip may be in the not-too-distant future.

Sounds like (looks like?) it was a great trip!

I is tuckered. 3 days of full on siding repair. I wanted to finish the caulking and priming today, but decided I just wasn't up for any more time on the ladder. Made two batches of jam, picked more berries and plums, and cleaned the sticky mess that was the kitchen.

Just finished hanging the dishtowels outside, and explained to Butch that he was not to sleep next to the jars of jam.

Caulking and priming tomorrow, using my $7 "oops" Primer+Paint. It's about the color of blueberry yogurt, but since my real paint goes over it, I think I can deal.

Peoter needs to meet the "East Coast Chicks" (and dudes for his companion)! I apologize I forgot the lovely lady's name - too much sun today. I fell asleep (it's supposed to rain for a few days so I think I overdid it -( we'll see how long it takes to dry out a Loey like the fruit leather laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif)

Where have my psillies been? I'm finally back and there hasn't been a posting in days! Today we're going to Thimble Islands in CT. You have to get there by boat (in fact the three main boats are tours boats that give a history of the 90+ Islands). A lot of them are inhabited and make the houses in Newport look like chop liver. Having a GREAT week. Did crafts with Selia's family and then tutored her. I didn't realize her brother and mom were waiting in the car the whole time I tutored Selia. So now we have family fun, Her sister will be entering regular high school in the fall an is a hoot.I set them up with a craft to do during tutoring and it's win-win. started painting (the coward's way - before I use my expensive kits I'm painting by numbers. It still allows me to understand the shading. I'll practice strokes next. FINALLY went to the beach with my neighbor Mary for an hour (I had an appointment and boy was it hot anyway).

OK, I have a doctor's appointment in the morning (I finally correlated it that that's when I can't fall back to sleep. Got my timer and a book and hopefully will fall asleep before I have to get up. I do not like AM doctor appointments but if it was later we couldn't do Thimble Islands. I'll report back on our adventure and I expect to see some posts!!!!!

Love& Hugs,

Loey

What were your first three? Are they available on Kindle? My husband self published afar several houses wanted him to make changes that were two important to him. I always thought his book would have made two good ones. One autobiographical and the other on scientific papers and info that went way over my head (I still read his book and "try" to read the essays but wind up back at the autobiography). What saddened me greatly is that he stopped writing. Now our son is the writer in the family so I continue to believe what's meant to be is meant to be.

Keep Writing and let me know about the first three.

Hugs,

Loey

Glad to see I am easy to find! :D I hope you enjoy them. As you can see in the reviews some people love them, and some despise them. Not much in the middle ground.

Not sure. We right now holding with him eating a highly restricted diet for now till he is symptom free for a while. Then we can look at possibly adding some non-gluten foods back in and see what happens.

I put on my detective cap and looked at his home page and there was a web site. The kindle copies are very reasonable (one's free). We should start a book club with his novels!

Yea, the mods wont let me actually link to my books (understandably), but if you follow the path that Loey followed you will find them. Or you can just hit Amazon and search on my name.

Good luck with that. Thankfully my son tested negative for celiac. It would have been one more thing for him to blame my genes for (allergies, height, yada..yada).

As far as how people react to your books it's all someone's taste. Now you've already got fans in us because we know you!!! I'm going to start reading volume one on the way to Thimble Island. It's a huge compliment when I put down a book I'm reading before I finish it but JFK Jr will have to wait. I remember the first time I read my husband's book I was afraid I would't like it but I loved it. Too bad no one other than friends did.

Well I'm heading back to the medicare site to see if I can find out the prices of my meds. We had them at one point yesterday and didn't print it. I want to be able to ask my doctors for cheaper meds when possible. Like I can really afford $170 a month for an allergy pill!!!!

Yep, they're pretty easy to find.

I spent yesterday making four batches of jam. The last, spiced blackberry, is really tasty. :)

Had homemade yogurt with homemade jam for brekkie. :D

I also have a short contract to do some spreadsheet work for a small architectural firm. Guess I should get started on that... :unsure:

What does one do to make a blackberry "spicy"?

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Thanks for the update, Ben. If you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the blood testing - and this would be the normal protocol - you will still need to continue the gluten challenge until that is done.

      @Jmartes71, Been here.  It's okay.  You're not imagining things, but there's no bugs or parasites in your skin.  The cats are not infecting you with anything.  That's a hyperkeratotic plug that builds up in a hair follicle which does go deep and is attached by the hair sheath that looks stringy.  It's a type of thing seen commonly in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.   Niacin B 3, in the form Nicotinic Acid (active form that causes flushing) or in the form Niacinamide will help immensely with clearing this up.  Take 100 mg three times a day, and Tryptophan (another form of Niacin) to help you sleep and heal your intestines at night.   Kidney stones can result when the body doesn't have sufficient Thiamine B 1.   Are you taking a B Complex supplement?  The eight B vitamins are water soluble.  Many people with Celiac Disease benefit by taking a B Complex to boost absorption.   The cloves are great because they can reduce inflammation, but your body needs the Bs and extra Niacinamide as well.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine B 1, is also needed in higher doses to heal the intestines.  If you get your intestines calmed down, your skin will calm down, too.  Benfotiamine has anticancer potential in higher doses.

      By nancydrewandtheceliacclue · Posted

      Hello everyone! I am very glad to be a part of this group. I want to share a bit about my celiac journey and hear from you as well. I was diagnosed when I was around 19-20 with a confirmed blood test and biopsy. I am now 28 and since my diagnosis, I have been strictly gluten-free. I have discovered over the years many new intolerances to foods, not to mention bad joint pain and skin issues, which led me to going on the carnivore diet. I don't eat dairy, sugar, or grains, except for rice/rice flour crackers, which seems to be the only substitute I can tolerate. I feel pretty good most of the time, but every so often I have what I consider to be a "celiac flare", which always follows the same pattern: I get a mild stomachache that gets progressively worse, followed by nausea, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain that lasts hours. What is strange to me is that I didn't have as severe symptoms as I do now before my celiac diagnosis, when I still actively eating gluten, even though I felt crummy and had synotoms. Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? I am so careful with what I eat and I never eat out. As I was looking around on the forum here, I found a post where someone asked about airborne gluten and subsequent reactions. My mom likes to feed the birds bread, and I was helping her toss bread around. Could even touching gluten or breathing it in result in a reaction like what I had? I wash my hands and keep everything separated in the kitchen, of course. It is just very frustrating, because I am so careful and when I have these flares, the pain is debilitating. Any advice or experiences you have had would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

It was certified gluten-free quinoa noodles. I couldn't even finish the bowl of food before I started to feel sick. I had trouble breathing and threw up. It was one of the most severe reactions I have ever had, so I have never eaten it again. Since cutting out gluten, I feel that over the years I have developed new intolerances to foods. I eventually went on the carnivore diet which helped me a lot. I no longer have joint pain and my skin is better. I would recommend trying carnivore, because even foods that you think aren't affecting you could be, especially sugar, natural or otherwise.

      By Ben Cohen · Posted

      Update on how things went. To meet my daily quantity of gluten I had a measured amount of gluten flour with my breakfast and 2 slices of bread later in the day. I still had discomfort but it wasn't debilitating. My blood tests results came back this week and they were positive so I've been referred to a specialist.
