well everyone its that time of the year again, time to say goodbye to the summer and get ready for Autumn. I have to admit around here in PA the leaves are turning and falling but the temps do not exactly say October (tomorrow is the 1st). It was mid-70's here today again. I know the nights are getting cooler but the forecast did say 80 by the end of the week again.

Anyway Welcome Fall!!!!!

Yeah, we've had crazy warm weather for this time of year. Last week we had one day when it was 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit), how crazy is that!

But the leaves are turning here, too, and are beautiful farther north of us.

My family lives in the mountains in rural Northeastern PA, the leaves are so pretty up there right now. Where I am 2 hrs south of them the leaves are starting to turn now, just in the last week or so. The foliage is very pretty. I love summer the best for the warmth but my favorite fun season is fall, its so pretty and there is so much to do with fall festivals and corn mazes and halloween things.

I've been singing the praises of Fall the past two weeks. Love the change in the air and sun. Pulled our fall recipies to try and made apple crisp and pumpkin pancakes.

The leaves are beautiful in PA. I lived there a few years and really missed them all the years we lived in CA.

Happy Fall to you.

I'm in NY State (southeast of Albany) and our leaves are changing quickly now. The eves have been much cooler. I cooked my first pot of chili and made some gluten-free gingerbread last week....so it must be fall, lol! (As soon as I buy a bag of gluten-free candy corn, I'll be 100% into the spirit of it!)

My parents are about 45 mintues from the NY border, we have I-81 sometimes we come to Vestial to shop. My mom always liked Target and Kohls, and up until recently she did not have those stores in Scranton.

lol... our week+ of rain started two days ago, and the snow level dipped to 4000ft. I went for a hike in the snow (falling on us and large drifts on the ground) yesterday! Open Original Shared Link

Tiffany--I always love looking at your pictures. It looks so beautiful out there--I've never been west of Memphis :D

Wow Ursa--96 degrees! :o Hope you're cooling off now....

We also had the beautiful weekend in Jersey. It was georgeous--warm and sunny in the afternnons and nice and cool at night for sleeping. I did see that it's supposed to warm up again, though.

I showed John the picture of the snow in the mountains and he is so jealous! He loves snow. He is already talking about blizzards and snow drifts...things we don't see in PA (well our area of PA) that much anymore. John just is a winter lover!

I'd like to point out that Tiffany had to CLIMB A MOUNTAIN to get to snow. For those of us in the lowlands, it's puddles up to our shins from all the rain.

I tried to explain that to John but he wanted no part of it...He was in tranced by the snow scene. Well in jan when it is down near zero and there is mountains of snow out there he can enjoy cleaning off the cars. :)

It's fall? Really? I hadn't noticed... We moved from Maryland to Texas last summer and I really miss the leaves changing colors :(

Here... well, we're only getting into the low/mid 90's during the day, and the nights are downright cool... 73 last night!

And, we only had to mow the lawn once last week!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
