How Is Jerry?

Hey, I just stopped by to say hi. It really has been a year since I was here.

I continue to enjoy the gluten-free free lifestyle. Pretty much symptom free.

In the past year my twin brother has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but still refuses to go gluten-free.

I run 8-10 miles most days with no Fibro symptoms :D

I see some of the same people are still here, so I'll try to stop by more often, assuming anyone

remembers me.

(I don't remember this site having this horrendous green background color...what's up with that?)

Has it really been a year, seriously...time sure does fly. Glad to hear you are doing well.

The green actually got toned down a little from the original change, if memory serves me. Lot's of cool changes on the home page too so be sure to check it out.

Hi Jerry--good to see you again! :D

Thanks for the update--can't believe it's been a year...wow.

Yes, by all means stay in touch and drop by when you can. Scott upgraded the site a while ago and we got the new green trim. We've welcomed lots of new members in the past year, but there are still quite a few of us old regulars, too.

Hi Jerry,

I'm glad to hear from you and glad that you are doing well. We have a few "non-believers" here that could use your sage advise. ;):D

Hi, Glad to hear that things are going well for you. I wondered what happened to you. I was almost going to post "Where's Jerry?"

Hi Jerry, good to see you back, and hearing you are doing well! I can't believe that your twin brother is still, after all this time, stubbornly holding out. I guess he likes being in pain.

I can't believe it has been a year, time just flies by.

      New Study Finds 1 in 10 Celiac Patients May Have Additional Autoimmune Disorders (+Video)

      Kinda glad I read this and some related materials. My celiac symptoms seem mild and I sometimes question if the hassle of the gluten-free diet/lifestyle is worth it for mild symptoms. This is one of the answers to that. gluten-free diet can delay onset/progression of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, but cannot reverse it.

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat...

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
