It's NOT cancer!!!!!!!!!! Woooohhoooooo! Oh thank God.

Turns out, it's another autoimmune disease- go figure. Sarcoidosis.

She's got to go in for some tests and x-rays to see if the lesions are on her lungs, liver, etc. Generally, Sarcoidosis is treated with steroids, which may be tricky for her, but hey-- it's not cancer!

God, what a weight off!

I would say that this was the one and only disappointment in our UK adventure........the PB was quite heinous. I ate it anyway to avoid interfering withdrawal symptoms, but 'twas nothing like the classic North American stuff..... . ..

I would do well over there, actually. I would NOT eat the PB that I do, and the infamous ten pounds would be gone..... :rolleyes:

Thank you, you guys!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: Honestly, the worry and feelings of dread were getting so bad, I haven't even been making any plans past today. Or no, I was already making plans-- who can I call in to take turns watching my kids so I can take my mom to chemo, etc... It was such a weird situation, with the doctor thinking a mistake had been made two years ago, that we were just so scared... that this was gonna be bad.

BUT IT'S NOT!!! :D

Not that Sarcoidosis is fun, you know, oh great another autoimmune disease, load the poor woman up. But it's manageable.

No, you know what? I'm gonna make her a cake, and write, "Happy Sarcoidosis Day" on it. She'd appreciate the humor in that. ;)

I hereby apologize in advance if anyone sees the above and takes offense.

Yeah, how can they screw up peanut butter? :unsure: Maybe superfluous ingredients?

That sounds like a great idea! I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it :)

SARAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Really great news! What a relief. And no, I don't think any of us are offended by yer sarcoidosis cake. In fact, maybe you could decorate it with frosting images of the offending cells? :lol: :lol: you know, flesh-coloUred blotches all over it......

Susie, what did you hate about it? Was it just bad?

House of Sand and Fog goes down as the most depressing and non-redemptive book I've EVER read. Sad people, sad, awful situations, and a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE ending. I couldn't even trade the book in, just threw it away. :huh:

I'm reading too many books now. Must commit to just one and phinish it. :ph34r:

O?

Dr.Oz Knows about Siiliac . and we found out that the gene for silliac is right next to the gene for misspelling thigs on the internet.

:lol: :lol: Nutty!

and BTW Dr. Oz BARELY knows about celiac.......... HARRUMPH! :angry: So Llama Lady Oprah, could you please send him here to our cozy thread? We'll straighten him out........AND HOW.........

Yup.........the pfUn starts here! :P

Okay.......about this UK peanut butter issue.......I think when the weather cools I'm goign to have to send Nik a jar of Skippy Naturals pb (is that illegal? :unsure: )..........'tis heaven in a jar......and THEN she can see what it's truly like, maybe she can become a wealthy peanut butter magnate (or typhoon/taifun?, as Rinne likes to say :lol: ), importing it into England by the buttload. :lol:

I'm feeling playful and mad :blink: and got no one to play wif today. :lol:

Grrrrrrrrrreat news Sarah!!!!!!!!!!

Sherry just mentioned Sarc on OMG Open Original Shared Link

I would say that this was the one and only disappointment in our UK adventure........the PB was quite heinous.

Is it just that theirs is 3 ingred, instead of our 3 inches of ingred?? Sugars, emulsifiers etc

Or is there something downright alien about it?

This is a good question.....I'm comparing it to the President's Choice "Just Peanuts" brand (better even than Skippy, Susie.....and cheaper!)....nothing there but peanuts. The Stuff in London that I found (two different brands, both yucky) had more than peanuts, but I believe only sodium and a couple of other things....the list was very short, anyway. Tasted rather....hmmmm....stale?.......old, dryish....a little sour, as I recall........

This is odd...as a peanut is a peanut is a peanut, one should think........

Do we all get our peanuts from the same place? :huh:

I'll bet Oracle PeOter knows.

Wait!!! I might know this one......you may have hit it on the head Emily, the source of their goober peas.

We grow em here fresh, maybe they don't. Maybe they import them and thus the staleness? :huh:

And then again, maybe I don't know this one :lol:

umm..........Em.........."just peanuts" makes me - um- gag a little. :ph34r::lol: Whenever I buy just plain ol' peanuts w/ nuttin' else - can't take it. All that oil on the top - - dry and pasty at the bottom. Nope, give me some additives, any day. :lol:

Well, that's not entirely true. Here's what's on my Skippy Naturals Super Chunk label: roasted peanuts, sugar, :ph34r:<sugar IS natural, remember> palm oil, salt. I LURVE IT and can't get enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (well, I do eat it in moderation and forget about it, actually - - probably consumed only three times a month, maybe?)

I need to do SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many things and am procrastinating. Oh, wait, am pulling a Pseu-zee. :lol:

Julie! Phoenix, in this weather????????? OMG.........just sounds hot to me. But - Kissey was just there - he stayed somewhere fabulous - Weston? dunno........ And they went to this famous biker bar adn the bartender girl is my twin - - not kidding - - he took her picture and showed it to me - astonishing........

Oh. Wait a minute. He was in Scottsdale. Phorget all of the above. :huh::blink::lol:

:ph34r: AAAAAGH!!!!! It's been 113 & 112F for a few days now, so I'll say indoors or in the pool. <_<

There's not a lotta there there, but you might want to visit Scottsdale's Old Town district and/or Tempe's Mill Ave.

Oh wait .. . .didn't you say you'd like the dry heat? There are good hiking parks all around. Lemme know how much you like heat after that. :lol:<_< (Bring 3x the amount of water you'd expect)

Nah ... Phx, Scottsdale, Tempe etc all adjacent.

Now maybe if you're staying in Glendale you wouldn't trek to Chandler, but the better known cities are all close enough.

P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Edit P.P.S. OK, maybe I'm badmouthing it too much. I just didn't have much fun at all in my recent 2yrs there. As long as you're visiting someone whose company you enjoy - well, I guess that's a good enough reason to brave the pounding relentless demon sun.

When I could still eat peanut butter (and I loved it <_< ), I also adored the Skippy Natural! Used to eat it by the spoon :P

Tempe's Mill Ave.

Gawd, Tempe :rolleyes:

My best friend from Kindergarten to 10th grade moved there while we were in high school in 1972. :( Her dad got a job there...it was so sad. We talked on the phone regularly for a long time, then when we had our kids, and then just now and then when a big "life happening" would occur.

Haven't talked to her in a while, though.

:lol: Editing to fix the date--at first, I typed "1772"! I ain't quite that old :D

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
