I'm officially snowed in. The road in front of my house got a light dusting of sand this morning that did nothing to decrease the slipperiness.

I'm now regretting not shopping last weekend... :angry:

Well.....quite a sight out in the ho' tub.....DD brought five of her 14-year old girlfriends home from school after lunch, and they're in there celebrating the start of holidays.....screeching wif laughter, splashing each other, blowing snow whipping around them, mixing with the steam, and they appear to be wearing their winter hats. .. . .... :lol:

Ahhhhh. . .. .to be young again.. . . .......

POeter! Are you building massive snow families in front of the store?

Well, didn't have to take Dad in - -he is better...... . .but some strange, abdominal pain that comes and goes, so he will have to see his doctor, hopefully Monday. There's a history of kidney AND gall stones (and undiagnosed celiac, I am certain), so for now, he's resting on Tylenol. Things are okay right now. :) Thanks so much for the words of concern!

I freeze a LOT of extra meals, too. DH takes leftovers to work, as do the kids to school, so you can imagine the size of the lasagna pans/casserole dishes/roasts/crock pots I fill!! Have you got a decent-sized freezer, Ptaoughmghmnuss?

Em .......whew what a relief.....Glad Dad's doing better!

Tom.......I freeze any left overs.......eg......spag sause with meat, spag noodles, add some beef broth and make some soup out of it.......Freeze alot...........I'm sorry your not doing well. Hugs to you

Just a quick fly-by to say that it is snowing big time here in Toronto, with about 8 inches expected in all. It started after the morning commute, but has been coming down steadily since. It looks like there is at least 6 inches so far. The parking lot has been shoveled three times, and needs it again. :angry:

Drive Safely Peter and Jacquie..........and stay warm

hi all

so gloomy here today. Just getting on line today

love you all

Hi, Judy!

I have something veeeeerrrrrrrryyyyyy BIG to tell you all:

Took Jack to yet another follow-up at the paediatrician this aft re. his chronically stuffy nose. The meds he is on are working well (but we STILL do not know the cause :angry: ....just keep treating the symptoms).....So this wonderful doc was going over the CT scan we had done of Jack's head, and she mentioned his sinuses. They are "clear and unaffected". Jack asked her exactly what the sinuses are and what they do, and she replied that they are air-filled cavities found in a number of places in one's body.

She then told us that we have sinuses in our anal canal.

Sinuses in our anuses! ....Sinii in our anii.......

Who'd a thunk???

Do they get infected? Do they need irrigating? Can one purchase an anal rinse?? Like a li'l netti pot, only fer your bum??

:lol::rolleyes:

What an interesting piece of news! :rolleyes: Anal sinuses--who knew? :P

I think I told you this before, Em, (maybe not, so I'll bore you all wif it again :lol: ) I have had the same type issues as Jack fer years--have had 2 CT scans (both normal, save fer the one short sinus....phorget which one). All they do is treat the symptoms--antihistimines and steroid sprays......was also diagnosed wif TMJ disfunction by me last ENT--said it twas a classic case. That can cause sinus symptoms, neck and head pain and other stuff. Just FYI ;)

Also interesting is that antihistimines always seemed to help my GI issues before I was diagnosed--never understood why, though :unsure:

I remember you telling us about yer nose/sinus history when we met up in Philly, Patti - -and so does Jack. He was wondering (true!) if your nose doctor ever told you that you also have sinuses in your anus.

:o

:lol:

And, I replied that I doubted it. . . . ..

Good to hear Dad's better now, Em. :wub:

Ptaoughmghmn! Have you tried melatonin before? It has worked very well for me - - . . no side effects, takes effect quickly. . . ..

Yup, but quite a few yrs ago. Worked great & I *did* buy some today - after working 'til ~10:30p last night then being up 'til ~4.

Probably will try tonight.

I make ahead and freeze a lot of what I eat for dinners, otherwise it is too overwhelming to cook every night, dunno if this would be an option for you?

Shhhhheeeeeeeeyit it was too often everwhelming even before I started working again.. ..

I'd love to do casseroles or crockpots but I think I'm too alphabet-free for much of that. I've looked for recipes, incl at that 365 days of crocktease site, but it seems there's always some critical ingred I can't have.

No tomatoes (tho certain organics don't make me dizzy), potatoes, corn etc etc . ..... :angry:

Maybe I should retest potatoes - I've heard red ones are best to start. :unsure:

AHA! :lightbulboverheadface: :blink: The topic DOES remind me of a White Chicken Chili recipe on ATK that excited me w/ its allowedness.

I should recheck how much work is involved & how long it'd take me.

I do usually make extra & freeze when possible. Thought I was making 4 main courses Tues, w/ 4 chkn breasts. Then ate 2 that night & 2 Wed.

I know I need to do a lot more made-in-advance dinners. Having trouble coming to terms w/ what to make & when to make it. I don't think my broiled salmon freezes well.

Maybe I need to plan a Cooking Day & not work & just see how much I can do.

What an interesting piece of news! :rolleyes: Anal sinuses--who knew? :P

This sounds indicative of cranial-rectal insertion syndrome.

P.S. I now see my car stereo's AUX input & pronounce it "oh".

Boy Tom i hear you one the first part. I find i can't have so many of the things that go into the crockpot

one thing i do is put a pot roast with gluten-free beef broth and onions in the crock pot.

use the beef for many dishes during the week.

I love the white chili with the northern white beans. The recipe is or was on the side of the can

you could do that in the crock pot i bet.

good luck.......hope your sleeping.

Y'all are overthinking this. Throw whatever vegetation you can eat into the pot, add some dead animal flesh, sprinkle with dried flavorings, and push go.

If you want it thinner, cut smaller peices and add some broth. If you want it thicker, throw in some quinoa or dried mushrooms.

Mmmmm . . . sounds yummy when you put it like that, Jess!! :lol::lol:

Made a wonderful soup last night . . . just winged it . . . turned out great and hubby thought so, too but said . . . "too bad we can't have that again because you don't know what you did." . . . :lol: . . . so I wrote down my ingredients, I'll get pretty close . . . Children turned their noses up at it, of course.

My mouth is watering :lol:

Tis true, though. I almost always start wif a mixture of sliced potatoes, onion, carrots, celery and a clove of sliced garlic. I mix it all up and top wif a hunk of beef or pork. Works every time and there's always a ton of leftovers. Come to think of it. you could do it sans meat, add beans or whatever. Let yer imagination run away wif ya!

Seriously (yeah, right :P ) no, really.....I don't think you can go wrong wif the crockpot--just throw in what you can tolerate wif a quarter cup of water and 8 hours later, it's dinner. :D Tis darn (sorry Jan-it) near phoolproof. B)

It is hard to be sure due to extensive drifting, but somewhere between six and eight inches (15-20 cm). Today is sunny and cold. Another storm will arrive this evening, with another 15 to 20 cm accumulating through Sunday.

The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine. I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy...

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive.  The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine.  I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy results.  The endoscopy has been the Gold Standard diagnostic, and most healthcare providers won't diagnose celiac disease until your intestinal lining Marsh Score reaches stage 3. You don't really want to wait for the damage to get worse, especially since only five days mostly gluten free gave you relief.  Yes, migranes is one of the 200 symptoms that may be caused by Celiac Disease. Malabsorption Syndrome is often comorbid with celiac disease.  The western diet is deficient in many vitamins and minerals.  That's why gluten processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free processed foods are not; Vitamin D deficiency is a virtual given.  40 to 60% of the industrial population is deficient in vitamin D, Damage to the intestinal lining from celiac disease can decrease the number of vitamin D receptors.  So now you get no vitamin D from the sun (skin cancer scare) the major source of vitamin D, plus absorbtion from food is poor because of intestinal damage.   Low iodine intake is getting more of a concern because the major source of iodine used to be bread (dough conditioner with iodine was stopped in the US in the 1970s), dairy (lactose intolerance from eating quick pickles with vinegar instead of fermented pickles which supply lactase excreting lactobacillus to improve Lactose intolerance. Commercial Dairies have wheat, barley and rye added to the cow feed. Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein causing the problem.  And people use less iodized salt.  In the US intake of iodine dropped 50% from 1970 to 1984. Switch to Grass fed only milk and consider supplementing Liquid Iodine drops to your diet.  The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of commercial milk is 5:1; Organic milk is 3:1 and grass fed milk is 1:1. The typical western diet is around 14:1, optimum for humans is 1:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1 omega 6:3.  Choose vegetables lower in omega 6, it is inflammatory. Eat fermented foods and switch to Grass fed only milk.  Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein.

      At 41 years old I have been fighting fatigue and joint pain for a couple months.  My family doctor kept saying nothing was wrong but I was insistent that I just didn’t feel right.  Finally after running several blood labs, one came back showing inflammation in my body and I was referred to a rheumatologist.  He was extremely thorough and sat with me and my family for a good hour asking questions and listening. He ordered X-rays of all my joints and more bloodwork.  He suspected some sort of reactive inflammatory arthritis.  My TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) came back at 34. he told me to try going gluten free and out me on Salfasalzin to help the join inflammation.  Over the next couple days going gluten free and doing a lot of research and talking to people with celiacs,  we found that I should have an upper endoscopy for insurance purposes in the future.  I reached back out to my rheumatologist and expressed this concern and he got back to me stating I was correct and resume regular gluten diet and stop the medication until after that scope.     They were able to schedule me in for 2 days later.  I had been gluten free, or as close to it as I could be for about 5 days.  I know I ate some brats with it but wanted to use them up.  My symptoms had gotten slightly better in those 5 days.  I felt less fatigue and joint pain was slightly better(it had gotten really bad) so for these last 2 days I’ve gone crazy with wheat bread, pasta and such.  I’m hoping those 5 days didn’t screw this endoscopy up.  I can’t imagine after a life of gluten, my intestines healed in 5 days and after eating gluten again for these couple days,  my stomach hurts, joint pain is coming back up so I know the inflammation is there.   Hinesight after this diagnosis, I have had chronic migraines since my late teens.  Has that been a lingering symptom of celiacs all these years?  I’ve never really had the stomach issues, for me it came in heavy these last couple months as the fatigue, just always feeling tired and exhausted.  And the joint pain.     So getting in the car for the 2 hour drive to the hospital for this scope now.     Wish me luck!
