See, this is why I am not allowed to have expanded cable......I would have watched this ALL DAY.....into the night.........and every day thereafter. :blink: *sigh* The Food Channel.......HGTV....... not allowed.

Ah yes, but not expanded cable...this came as part of my "basic broadcast channel" cheapie only $14 a month cable. :P

That and the Travel Channel, which oddly has some interesting tribal shows :P and lots of shows about, well, travel :lol:

Oh, and Sci-Fi channel which oddly fascinates me. :P

Annie's eaten all the pre-game and the game snacks. She's such a selfish little hostess. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Poor Annie -- I think both just got fatter during mommy's bedridden state. Did not help that I was throwing miniature marshmallows (BLECH! the homemade ones are just so superior!) at her yesterday, for...something to do....... :lol::ph34r:

So . . . if I understand this correctly, your superbowl snacks were a bag of miniature marshmallows?? Not traditional football fare? What do you have for Thanksgiving? Tacos? Chocolate Chips? Crackers?

Where's Bev? Where's Sarah? mygawd, have we lost SArah forever? :huh:

And.......wasn't there someone new who asked to join us - - and then we never saw her again?

:lol: :lol:

I'm not surprised.

Yes, I thought with all the new blood coming in we would have to change how long a queen/king were to remain enthroned. I thought we would be flying through the pages . . . 100 pages would only last a week . . .hmmm, I'll have to go fishing in another thread again.

:lol: :lol:

Yes. exactly that. Chips, crackers, and granola straight out of the bag. And christmas......we really knock ourselves out - chips and salsa, and snickers, all day.

:lol:

Emily! Exciting news about your hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phecal Phat is phunny to say. :lol:

Dating..............oh dear gawwd. Horrible topic these days.

Ptaum - - OMG. No, I USED to date men I THOUGHT I liked (most, I did like) as a gluten-brain. I ruined nearly every good relationship - well, two of the three major ones, I did. :( a very sad story and actually, you could write a Danielle Steele trash novel out of it....only - wait - no happy ending yet. :huh:

So when I was young, cute, and fertile and desperate to be married, I made very bad decisions about men in the Monterey years. Now that I'm old and fading (becoming invisible - the TERRIBLE thing that happens to middle-aged women :angry:) I really haven't been enthralled w/ the men I've dated since Robert.......I mean.....it's easy to get caught up in something when someone is desperately chasing you - and hard to discern whether you really like the MAN, or the attention.

I'm getting better though. Last guy, I only went on two dates.....could discern the neediness and clingy-ness IMMEDIATELY and went no further. Desperation and neediness are MASSIVE turnoffs, are they not? The absolute kiss of death.

[oh and plus - - when the last guy tried to kiss me - - a furtive attempt w/ a minnow-like tongue - which I blocked, BTW - he had razor-sharp, cold lips, and reeked of onion............. <green-face here> :huh: BLECH! ]

But it makes me SOOOOOOOO sad......now that I'm clear-headed and have so much more to offer.....the offers are drying up, and I live in an agricultural community - - slim pickin's for interesting, brilliant, yummy OLD ENOUGH men. :angry: And moving isn't an option.

:(

OMG so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink: This issue has been plaguing me lately, though. I mean, the world's supposed to end in 2012, right, according to the Mayan calendar? Geez, I've only got four years now. :lol:

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find me one in San Jose, Tom. A plethora there, right?

BACK TO SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, got my first email entry on DH's phart chart a few minutes ago: 5. FIVE!! Remarkable. A week ago it was what, 65 by noon? I wait with bated breath for the final count at bedtime..... :lol::lol:

Now what are we gonna do around here when we get bored and can't count Emily's husband's pharts? :unsure:

Seriously, I'm thrilled about his response to the diet :D

Oooh-la-La!!

Have I ever mentioned my 3-touchdown Thanksgiving Day game?? :lol::lol:

WOW!! A hattrick? A helmettrick.....(?) :huh:

GAH!! Bite your tongue, foreigner!!!!!!

Pretty much EVERY PLAY, I had to be as 'on the edge of seat' as one can possibly be during full reclination of a big comfy recliner :mellow::wacko:

Sounds like a classic hover!

I dunno...I'm much more excited by the games that end in the last two minutes at 38-36...like in the Grey Cup! ;):P

Actually, as a foreigner, I had quite a vested interest in last night's game. Lawrence Tynes is a Canuck and was Ottawa's kicker for three of four years...till we folded. :(

Em!! FIVE!?????? :o

<tom notices it's exactly 1/13th of a half-fortnight ago>

(phortnight??)

Oh! Update!!

Got the last email about an hour ago:

3:30 pm: 21

A considerable slowdown from last week, where at that point in the day he was at 70, or something. We'll wait to see what the famously active eveningtime will bring.....

Phecal Phat is phunny to say. :lol:

'Tis!

HEY!! Our next garage band!!

Something unsettlingly familiar in your description.....

well, I can see you're all about as loopy as a herd of weed-eating pigs (was that from the OMG thread?) about the Minnow Tongue analogy. Just WAIT until I tell you about Sharks, Sucker Fish, Darter Fish, Groupers, Bottom Fish, and worst of all, the Tonsillectomy Fish. Yes, friends, these are all different types of kissers. BAD, bad kissers.

I think it depends on why you're dairy free. If it's casein, then no. If its something else, than maybe, you'll just have to try it.

Leeches are what we call Sucker Fish. They're ALL fish. All the bad kissers will be described as follows, for your entertainment.

[i made these up in high school. Friends love them. :lol: ]

Shark: Visible teeth marks remain around the outside of the mouth after the session. One feels devoured, and not in a good way.

Sucker Fish: very unpleasant sucking mechanism in play whilst kissing; often accompanied by disquieting noises.

Bottom Fish: This is the very laaaazy kisser, with a fat blob of a tongue that just invades the mouth. Messy, wet, very bad.

Grouper: Similar to Bottom Fish, but even lazier and blobbier, rather invading the mouth like a.....well like a big, wet Grouper fish.

Darter Fish: Sharp, non-malleable, pointed, deeply probing tongue. Very dry and unfriendly kiss. Tongue can either just jab sharply in, or can rotate......either way, quite untenable.

Minnow: Slight, furtive motions with the very timid, wee tongue. Note: this one is the most trainable of the lot.

Stink Fish: Blech. The name says it all. However, one woman's stink could be another's bliss, so quite subjective.

I've seen several mentions in the past about the goat & cow caseins being sufficiently different for some to have no reaction to one & be fine w/ the other.

Hmmmm where oh where did I see those?

I haven't tried goat cheese, but after 3 years dairy free, I can tolerate a little sheep's milk cheese.

Bottom Fish: This is the very laaaazy kisser, with a fat blob of a tongue that just invades the mouth. Messy, wet, very bad.

The worst of the bunch, in my opinion. Of course in my case, we're talking ancient history :lol: Some things you just never forget--like trying to wipe off one's face without hurting the fish's feelings :P

I can't do goat... My issue is with the casein and apparently it isn't different enough for me. I LOVE goat cheese...makes me spit nails that I can't have it. :P Like Patti, I can tolerate a tiny bit of sheep milk yogurt (only once per week though).

I should specify that I only go for the 'fresh' goat cheeses, not aged.

So, it's feta, mozzarella & chevre. :) yum :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
