How Not To Be A Hillbilly

So yesterday I went and got me a box of wine - remembering how me and kareng joked on here about drinking it straight from the box :lol:

so, it wasn't cold (oh, excuse me, chilled), so I put it in the freezer to cool it off.

NOTE: Do Not EVER Do This!

So when I decided to get it out and have a cup of wine on a Saturday night, I went and opened it. My kitchen (and me) both now look like one of them polka dot dresses that I Love Lucy used to wear.

When the air hit that box of wine, I don't know, I guess the air in it got compressed in the freezer, and boy oh oh boy when I turned the crank on that thing, that wine flew all over EVERYTHING! :o

Then the cardboard box that it's in got all mushy and I said I am NOT losing any more of this wine, so I got out my duct tape and taped that box up, top to bottom.

So now sitting in my fridge is a box covered in grey, pink and orange duct tape, just waiting for me.

And I wonder why they call us Hillbillies. B)

That is too funny! I almost spit out the boxed wine I was drinking, laughing so hard!

Duct tape is a wonderous invention! :)

oh funny. that would also be don't leave the champagne in the freezer too long or you'll be drinking slushies and the first glass will be *much* stronger than the rest.

Also known as 'jacking', this is a lovely way to get applejack-hard (very hard!) cider!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
