What a nice thing to do. I would love to join you but since I am half the country away that just won't be possible. What is being served?

OOO, I'd love to. Thank you for extending the offer! I'll need a private jet to get me there and a hotel room with a deep jaccuzzi! (I miss Japanese tubs SO much. Maybe more than gluteny goodies. Our American tubs(at least the older ones, which is what I've always had) are so shallow and even a petite woman like me can't stretch out and end up with a stiff neck! I've given up baths-don't worry, not bathing! :lol: ) As for the menu, dairy-free and some miracle sugar-free low-carb desserts please. Haven't had a dessert or baked good other than a few slices of bread and a few crackers for nearly 3 months! I'll bet Emeril can make some good seafood! After moving away from California I miss Meyer lemons too! I supose an all American menu featuring regional dishes would be in order for such an occasion.

Woohoo! Even better. :o I don't know what I'd wear! I was thinking that I'd have to appeal to Stacy and Clinton from TLC's What Not To Wear for advice on how to shop when you can't fit into adult size clothing anymore-even petites- and don't want to shop in the teens section and end up looking like a teenager. I could live with looking 27 again but I'll pass on 17.

Well Ka-pow! Or what that thing is he says! It's about time he cooked me something...!

First though things I don't want.

No dead raw fish, and no dead raw cows, and no dead raw anything except veggies thanks.

Hmmm, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no yeast of course.

Nothing made in a factory by machines with chemical squirting guns and nozzles.

OK, something to eat though. How about a great big steak well done and baked potato with olive oil and salt and pepper on it. And some Waldorfen salad. Maybe some popcorn balls. And a big butterscotch pie with mile high lemon meringue baked on top like my mother used to make. Even If I can't eat it I wouldn't mind looking at one on the table.

Of course since it's an inaugural ball all the waitresses will wear white shirts and black Tux tails with their neon red hot pants. My kitty kat Muffinn will not be left out of course. She will need fresh salmon and some Whiskas Temptation kitty treats and some Safeway brand Priority kitty treats in all the various flavors, served on the floor thank-you!

This is a great idea, that Emeril feller should cook us dinner more often eh? Ka-Pow!

We need some ideas for ice sculptures to decorate the hall also. :rolleyes::)

Thanks Missy'smom! BAM it is!

Oh well, but no BAM today! Looks like the inaugration speech is going on and the food hasn't arrived yet. Guess 'ol Emeril got tied up with other things this year. These things happen I guess. Next inauguration we should probably get our orders in a little sooner eh?

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
