I have many memories of making gingerbread cookies with my grandma

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Me! Me! Me!

I am SOO excited for Christmas!! My favorite part of Christmas for the past couple of years is I work with SANTA!! Yep the big man himself :D I'm his photographer and this year I'm also going to be playing the part of an ELF! I've got ear tips and lots of yummy smelling lotions and sprays (cause elves smell like peppermint and cookies, yes?).

Mum's side of the family always has an ornament exchange too! We figure out a couple of months in advance how many will be participating and everybody makes/buys that many ornaments. Then we get together for lunch and swap! I love spending the afternoon with the family members I only see during the holidays!

And I love going Christmas light "hunting" :P

Basically drive around and look at the pretty lights :D

missnbagels - I must've missed seeing that...do you mean hang the actual tree from the ceiling?!? :blink:

Oh, Christmas light hunting is a big tradition for us, too! I remember my mom taking my brother and me, and now I do it with my kids.

I boil homemade potpourri almost every day during the Christmas season, and it always smells wonderful- cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and a dash of vanilla. I just keep the stove on low, not actually boiling, and add water as needed.

My favorite shopping day, Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) is coming up and I am SO excited!

Chocolate, peppermint, pine trees, pretty lights, Charlie Brown, presents, advent calendars, wreaths, reindeer, stockings, cookies, turkey, ham, pink cheeks and smiles....

What's not to love? :D

Edit: White Christmas, pine cones, snowflakes, Christmas parties, red and green candles, secret Santas...

I love Christmas too, especially now that I have a child. I love the preparation. I go all out. I usually make a large variety of pies, cookies and candy. I also LOVE black Friday shopping. In fact I was browsing black Friday websites a couple minutes ago. :lol: I like to get most of my shopping done that day. I usually start shopping at 5:00am.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
