I'm not sure what I want yet....I'll think about it. I'm going to have to have pizza while I'm home along with popcorn, and some other things that I forgot about at this moment. You should also be sure to have plenty of eggs, sugar, vanilla, and brownie mix. I'm going to do a lot of baking :D I'll also take a lot of it with me too :rolleyes:

OMG, that's where I"m goign tonight too! :lol::P:lol::P:lol:

:lol: Yes, just look at them, taking over our 40-something place to tread on people :lol::lol::lol:

yes but it's just like old times :)

You going to a Suzanne's or just Wright?

Okay, I can't eat popcorn because of my braces, pizza because of the casein, and anything baked because of the sugar (my adrenals) ... so you are clearly thinking only of yourself with this food, correct?

BTW, you look about 25 in that picture! Who is the other person?

Patti - do you know if he's gone for good? I tried to PM him and he either has it disabled or his inbox is full. I'm so out of it (I don't like drama, politics or game-playing, so I tend to stay out of threads that deal with that stuff) that I don't even know what happened. Why did he leave? He's such an important part of our board.

Liz and everybody--you can always use email to reach him, if the mailbox is full :)

Well it's hard to consider your diet since you've changed it recentlly....I had forgotten about your sugar thing. Oooooh!!! An omlet and some good meat would be awesome too!!!!! :P

Yeah I'm back...but only for as long as I have the time...it's hard to keep up with this. :(

Why do I look 20? Is that a good thing? Bad isn't it? That's my friend Andrea :)

OMG, I just had a major flashback, remembering those days with braces, afraid to kiss a boy with braces because you might get locked or wired together :lol::lol::lol: and head gears, and gum getting stuck.......

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
