If someone would have told me that going gluten free lifestyle would have meant to forge a new kind of seducer

I have to admit, that is deffinately a good one. I never thought of using celiac as an ice breaker.

I don't know if this is a good thing but I kinda launched a new trend. Since that evening all my friends pretend to be celiac when they go approaching a lady. Paradoxically now being celiac is cool :P.

BTW, tomorrow she'll come for dinner. Someone has suggestions for some romantic recipe? gluten-free, of course :D

The romantic menu will depend on your finances and culinary skill. A grilled steak,potato & salad (all gluten free) is always good, and a very masculine menu.

Lobster, grilled fish anything. A lady LOVES to be cooked for.

I hope y'all both have a good time!

In case you didn't "get" the recipe (I didn't at first) you are supposed to cut the corner off the bag and pipe the cream cheese/chocolate mixture onto the strawberries (I think??)

Yep, that's how the plastic bag works. Just snip a tiny end off one of the bottom corners. Then twist the top and squeeze the chocolate onto the strawberries. Easy and most excellent.

That truly is the goofiest, yet best pick up line I've ever heard. Great story!

Good luck with the dinner. The fact that you are cooking at all is a huge plus! My husband is only capable of making macaroni and cheese, and I still married him. If he had made me a steak dinner I would have probably fainted. :lol: I don't even allow him near the grill during a barbecue.

I LOVE the way you write by the way.

Oh my gosh, I want to read more of your writings! You are tremendous. As a retired teacher & a writer for many years, I must say that your story is of the A+ goldseal standard. And to think that you got a date with this girl! Give yourself a pat on the back. She is definitely blessed too, being invited to a dinner that you have prepared yourself. Maybe thinking about your favorite foods would help, if you have no idea about what her food preferences are, because you've probably made your favorite foods many times, and that would cut down on the thinking, and the preparation and cooking time.

Are you having candles, flowers & music, and what are you serving to drink? For women, the setting that we experience as we walk in is so important. Soft lighting also helps, and anything that helps you both relax. All these extras, apart from the delicious meal you will be serving, help to create a magical evening.

I must say, you are, indeed, a special man to be doing this. I'm sure we are all waiting to read about any questions you have, any help or suggestions you need, or anything we can do to help. I will check back again to see if you've posted. Best wishes! Welda

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
