I Found My Cookbooks!

Hey everyone,

The saga of the missing cookbooks is finally over! :D

I haven't posted much in the last few months because, well, I didn't have much to talk about since I wasn't cooking.

After the move, it didn't matter what boxes I unpacked, I COULD NOT find ANY of my gluten-free cookbooks.

Today, in my toddler's room, I was unpacking his last box of books, and at the bottom of the box were my cookbooks! B) I was so excited I did a "white-girl" dance around the room! (sorry ya'll but I have no rhythm, and I definitely have no coordination). ;)

There's my update! Happy baking. -Julie

Yay ! I know you missed them, so glad they turned up !

When we moved years ago, I didn't take my toolbox along outside the moving van, and every day I didn't have that little box of stuff it drove me nearly crazy. We had to wait a month to take possession of the house but they allowed us to work on the fences before if we wanted to.... I had to strip off miles of old rusted barb wire, multiple strands, and I needed my fencing pliers, my big pliers, my needlenose pliers, and my little feminine sized leather palmed work gloves.

The moving van disgorged all the boxes into the storage facility here. Didn't find that stuff for a long time and it was in more than one box.... Now I've got multiples of each.

Thanks everyone :) I sure have missed cooking...even with the flops (dare I remind any of you of my flying pretzel incident?).

It was like Christmas w/o the expense! ...to replace the cookbooks would have cost over $100 (and one of them is out of print).

I am the one who packed the box :rolleyes::o I don't know what I was thinking! Of course, I may have been packing that evening with my one-year old clutching my leg and trying to cook dinner. I'm not the world's greatest multitasker. :ph34r:

Can't wait to start making the gluten-free spring rolls! Ahhh. It's good to be back! ;)

Julie

P.S. Takala, I totally understand...we now have about 30 packs of AA batteries. We went out and restocked for my son's toys and then found them! We have two of many things now. (Yard sale time again)! :)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
