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!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
