The wormery is an alternative to a compost heap. great for small gardens as it's compact and the worms process very efficiently. Great also for small boys who love the fact that we are recycling our veggie and fruit peelings into worm wee and poo! :P Great also for worms, who now have a longer life expectancy as aforementioned small boy preserves them for the wormery rather than stretching any he finds to see how long they'll grow :ph34r:

We made the wormery ourselves (can't afford to buy one). here's the instructions for anyone interested:

Hey Lisa, you can create a wormery for YOUR garden. Then you will have some handy. When you want to eat worms - he he. :lol::blink::) Hugs

Hey everyone, I am not being mean as Lisa and I have been emailing each other. She knows I am joking.

Lisa Mentor

Very well, I shall have one. :P It would be good to have some on hand.

Armetta:

I noticed that you have a hiatal hernia, me too (large one). Have you ever thought about getting fixed? I know that we share some stomach problems. Just something I'm thinking about.

And about worms, if they are so good breaking down compost, why shouldn't we eat them....might help with celiac symptoms :P:P Nah, just a passing thought. :ph34r:

The question is, are you sure those are gluten-free worms?

MY hernia does not bother me all the time. But, the one position I cannot do is watching TV from a semi sitting position in bed. I did think about having it fixed as it has gotten worse since I lost all that weight before diagnosis. Then when my food allergies went through the roof, I decided no way am I having any operation (if I have a choice) that makes me a patient in the hospital. But, if yours is that large, then I think you should seriously consider having it done. Make an appointment with the hospital dieticition and see what she says about feeding you. In our hospitals in this area they all speak Spanish and can't feed the diabetics safely, let alone me :blink::lol::ph34r:

Hi Rusla! Have not seen you for awhile. Has the beautiful Godess been at her cauldron. And NO people, I am not being nasty. Rusla knows I am kidding as I have nothing but respect for her religion. As you can see Rusla, that I am paranoid about joking on this forum. But, really, how have you been? Have I just missed the threads you have been on?

Mommagoose, sending some love out to ya!! Isn't it sad that things have gotten to the point where posting is stressful in itself. Let's laugh more, love more, and all get worm hotels, or what ever they are called. (I really want one of those, btw) :lol::lol:

Mommagoose, you are loved and valued :lol:

Hey there, it looks like you've been having a bad hair day...lol. Yes, I have been eating children perhaps that is why I have an extreme kidney infection. I have also been looking for some place to move to which is difficult when there is nothing to move to. I also had some stories to get out and I am lagging behind in my book which has to be done for Feb 28, So, I was just on a hiatus then, I come back and find lots of us oldies are missing. Perhaps they are just on hiatus.

Rusla- It's REALLY good to see you! Yes, the board has been awkward lately. But this thread is full of love!!!!! Do you have any good ways to celebrate Samhain? I want to do something to honor the earth.

STOP EATING CHILDREN- it's very very bad. Although, it is a Modest Proposal :lol::lol:

You are right, eating children is like eating gluten. All that screaming inside of my stomach and their little claws pinching me hurts. It is great to see you again, actually great to see all of you again.

We as we celebrate the end of the year and our ancestors celebrate the eath. You can always do what I do, I do it for Yule also I leave seeds for the birds, stuff for the squirrels and on the hill I get on my vinyl gloves and leave out bread for the deers etc.

Due to probably weather and legal restrictions, I will dance naked in my house.

Alrighty, how many did I offend with that let me know if I didn't I will try harder next time.

I'll try harder....we want to have a bonfire in the back yard and dance naked. Can you get arrested for public nudity on private property? :P (I'm sure you can in America!)

That's cool... I just put out bird feeders and have been watching this group of 3 squirrels goof around on the old swingset that the previous owner left. They are such a hoot!

Yes, it has, I generally ignore the garbage ... I've gotten good at it so it's not unusual for me to seem ignorant of it (online and in "real" life!).

I don't think you can ... there was a couple who lived on a busy road who used to sunbathe naked on the front porch roof. The city tried and tried, but couldn't make them get dressed!! But, if you have neighborhood covenants, I'm sure they can get you through those!!

They are especially good bbq'd. The ones that are tougher would have to be marinated and some remind me of fishes so, those get cooked in lemon garlic butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Why pay more for your meat.

Hey Rusla, you forgot you are a Goddess, NOT a black witch. You are too funny and nope you have certainly not offended me - just have me laughing.

And I don't think I want to honor the earth by dancing naked in my home. I would barf with the image of everything bouncing and swaying to the music.

Rusla Enthusiast

Actually witches are grey and I have the roots to prove it so, as a witch you must learn to work both sides when you need to. Now all of us women are Goddesses.

Ba ha ha ha ha......yes, my interesting thighs (hubby came up with that phrase and has never lived it down) would be quite a site. But I certainly wouldn't have to worry about black eyes. Do they make bras in negative sizes? THANK GOD FOR THE WONDER BRA! It's a WONDER they make one small enough for me. :P

Rusla- have you tried them roasted? They are quite tasty with some seasoning. :ph34r: Just make sure they're gluten free. And organic. And steroid free. and free range. And grass fed (or at least ice cream fed). And antibiotic free. Uhmm....did I miss anything?

      @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

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
