*Peers from behind the land of no forum* Is this thing on? Testing...1.2.3.

Wow...I missed this place. :(

Good to see a tonne of good news these days after our brief bout with psillie withdrawl.

Just checking in from the fair city of Winnipeg to let you all know things are good for me as well. I am going out to buy some locally made gluten-free beer tomorrow night. It's amazing. :) They have some in the hotel bar where I am staying, and I can only assume it would be less expensive else where.

*yawn* but now I must get some sleep.

Morning Sillies!

We had a nifty storm overnight but I was given Robitussen with Codene so I slept very well! :):)

I am only here for a little while this morning and then I am leaving to see my sister! I am so excited!

See all you sillies later :)

Morning, Sillies!

All is right with the world....our technical difficulties seem behind us. Thanks so much, Patti and Ptaoughmghmn, for the emails to keep me sane. They kept the worst scaries at bay. :)

RYAN! Home-brewed, gluten-free beer??! And it's inexpensive? man, what we would give.....Here in Ottawa our only choice is La Messagere, brewed in Quebec. Tastes rather like dishwater, and it is $17.50 for a six-pack. Yes, a SIX-pack!! :angry:

Sarah, I am so sorry about all this sh!t in your life. You're such a good mom, and an upbeat, hilarious person......why you?? :manymoremadfaces:

You are in my heart....I'm thinking about you........

A wedding today! Amanda, what happy news.....hope you feel good enough to enjoy the ceremony and festivities afterward.

Emily,

It's not really a home brew. Fort Garry Breweries is the name of the company, and the beer is called Nu Bru! (Hey...it even works with psillie pspelling :D ) Apparently it's only slightly less expensive than La Messagere, but to buy a 6 pack has to be cheaper than buying them from the hotel bar.

Well, more courses this morning on how to make my small military museum a little better.

Have a good day psillies.

Amanda, enjoy the wedding... :)

Poor Sawah........a walking talking mood ring ( RUN!!!....Mom's turning blue!!! :o )......and now uncontrollable projectile leakage ( this is not on Edna's itinerary! <_< )......and unwanted Mickey visitations ( a gluten free mouse? :P )

"Life is not a problem to solve, but a mystery to experience"....I am sure you would like a little less *mysterious experiences* right now......hope things get better for you really soon....hang in there.

We are just doing a small dinner afterwards....I am not looking forward to the drive in the rain.....very ugly day here!

jerseyangel Proficient

Mornin Sillies! :D

I gotta pack a lot into this post.....I'm on our desk top re: the slowest loading computer in the western world <_< Matt is away again until Sunday and, old softie that I am, I told him to take me lap top. Every page takes minutes to load--I'm not kidding.

So....Have a wonderful day, Amanda :) Glad to hear that you got some good sleep last night, finally!

Hi Ryan--that gluten-free beer sounds excellent! Can't believe how expensive the stuff is up there--at least we have Redbridge which isn't so bad. :)

Judy--I know....it's not going to be as as blasted hot today, but it's very humid :angry: I think it's seeping into me brain :lol:

Sarah--you poor thing :( That vomiting sounds absolutely wretched--Gawd, I hope that stops at once. You're a fantastic mom, and your kids know that--look at all you're handling and your first thought is always those two boys. Feel better, sweetie ;):)

Where's Jess? I guess she must be pretty busy at work.

Hi Em :D Yep--all's right with the world.....would be righter if I had me own computer, but what ya gonna do? :P

I'll be back later.....I think I'll try and re-boot this thing again :angry:

Carry on Sillies! :D

Judy! Very bizarre that the multiple quote system isn't working for you....you're hitting the quote button at the bottom of each post from which you want to quote, the one with the plus sign beside it, then when you have them all picked you hit ADD REPLY? Strange it is not working for you......I cannot imagine negotiating this thread without picking out Sillies' dialogues...... <_<:rolleyes:

Yes, and now with clean teeth.

Planning to have my hysteria removed Aug 18th so I'm trying to get as much done as possible (hair cut and hiighlighted-check, teeth fabulous-check, nails done-wait on that one, house de-furred-check). What else do I need?

Having the hysters removed--eh? Well, I'll tell ya, girlfriend, the only thing I regret about having mine was that I didn't do it 15 years ago. ;)

You sound like you're on top of things.....do check with the hospital about the gluten-free situation. I was able to provide all of my own food, so there were no worries there. Make sure they write on your chart in numerous places that you are gluten intolerant and that all of your meds have to be gluten-free, too.

Jess, if you ever want to chat or anything I'm here :)

Patti....absolutely nothing personal, here....but I was getting a little tired of looking at our boobs. :lol:

Cannot find the group shot of us all........must check our laptop.....

Jess! August 18th is the big day........

You'll always be hysterical 'round here........

;):)

Let's see, what else do you need....you seem to have everything covered.....

Trying to think of a reason for you to possibly need DD's infamous, too-small-but-perfectly-good goalie pads.

This would make a fascinating, cryptic advertisement in the classifieds:

Woman having just gone through hysterectomy, in need of goalie pads in pristine condition ASAP.......

I agree :lol: Time to retire the boobature :D

Although, keep it handy--you never know when it will be appropriate to display them again ;):P

Computer is working a bit faster.....the phone is also very static-y, so it all may have something to do with the storms last night. Hope so anyway.....

just tried it again.

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @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
