I spent most of my day at the library with Clifford, Curious George and listening to a band singing math songs to classic rock songs (ex. Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith was Calculators) and then we took the girls for ice cream (soft serve blueberry...yum!!!). Anyway that meant a quick dinner of hot dogs on Udis buns with roasted garlic and sea salt chips and coleslaw (cabbage, carrots and apple with a honey mustard vinegarette).

Alex, that sounds like a perfect day to me!!!

I'm an "old school". dinosaur.  I  still like "holding" books while I read them and I like libraries. too  and I hope they do not become extinct in our techno world.

 

Dinner tonight will be roast pork with onions and garlic and baked sweet potatoes and maybe baby peas.

 

Taking the day off from physical labor. I'm pooped. :wacko:

Good Morning All!

Wonderful day yesterday except I flipped a kayak so my mobile is resting in the oven with hydrogen peroxide on its little connections - likely dead but hought id give it until tomorrow to spring back.

Cakes were awesome - cake makes everybody happy :)

Ive got several slices of each left - stop on by for a piece along with a cup of Jo!

Celiac results in celibacy --

Health reverses the process :D

Edit to add I kindle sucks - it changed ive words in my post - will hop back by when I get back to my laptop.

Libraries are awesome! Nothing can compare to the smell of one and while I have an ereader, which got me through some of the roughest times when I was so sick I could barely stand to hold even it, nothing can compare to an actual book. Of course, you can't get the classics for free on paper which was my primary reason for my ereader. I've read so many free books that I have far exceeded the cost of the thing, so although I rarely touch it these days I don't feel bad at all.

 

I'm feeling exceedingly lazy today. I may just tell my husband to eat whatever he wants and finish off my chicken pot pie. He has a stash of pizzas and there is that spare meatloaf if he feels like that would make him happy.

chili is chili-ing, perfect day for it as it has been raining for 2 days.  yesterday i made bette hagman's vinegar pie crust for the first time trying pie crust of any kind.  it's in the friger and it looks normal :)  i'm not sure whether i want to fool with it in front of the hubs - plastic wrap is not my friend.  but i may need someone to cut it off me should i become dangerously entangled.....  hmmmmm....

 

i has pie crust.  i am mad with power.  pie crust power, that is  ;)

I am not the only with saran wrap issues, I see. :lol:

 

Bette Hagman rocks! First woman of gluten-free baking. 

 

If you do not like her version for any reason, I HIGHLY recommend Peter and Kelli Bronski's pie dough recipe.

Flaky, light and rolls out like the real thing. Tastes awesome. 

 

When my Mom, the champion flaky pie crust maker of the family (besides my Gramma, her mother)

said to me last Thanksgiving  "omg, this is just like my mother's!" to me,

well, it was the proudest G F baking moment of my albeit short-thus-far G F baking career.

 

Let me know if you want to try it and I'll  type it out for you.

 

Enjoy that chili (I loves me some chili!)

:lol: skip the crust and just put a topping on it (like a crumble) and that would be good enough for me.

 

At any rate, i don't think the cabbage in that soup would go good with cake :lol:

I pulled my frozen meatloaf out today. Just not feeling like cooking. I'll think up some veggies for it and have an easy dinner. We've got some errands to run this afternoon and I'm paying a dear price for my indulgences last week. Plus, not feeling super has led to a wee pile of dishes over the weekend that I need to tackle today. :ph34r: I must have misplaced my magic wand.

IrishHeart Veteran

I started a pot roast and veggies crock pot thinger (I love LOVE2TRAVEL's word) this morning before I went to the gym.

 

(yes, I went to the gym the day after major yard work, and after a week of heavy lifting and really, what the heck is going on here? Me, doing physical labor and not wanting to kill myself from the pain??!  Healing the gut, collagen supplements, change in diet, MT, PT..... and magic wands at work, I guess. whoohoo) 

 

and I have to say, I just returned and the house smells like YUM!!! :) Slow cookers are wonderful thingers. Karen was right!

 

If you find your magic wand, Addy would you kindly wave it over the rest of the garden for me. Make the leaves disappear?

I'd like to know who put that giant pin oak over my garden beds. I'd like to kick his butt.  Oh wait, I'm the doofus who put the garden beds

too close to the tree 16 years ago. duh.

My best friend who used to be my roommate has always complained that I made her fat while we were living together. How? My insomnia. How does my insomnia make other people fat? Well, things like tonight happen. When you are tired and can't sleep you get bored. When you are bored, you get hungry. When you grew up baking and are bored and hungry, you migrate to the kitchen.

 

I didn't actually bake tonight, but suddenly decided I couldn't live another moment without tapioca pudding. Not the kind that comes in a Jello pudding box, and not the kind that comes in a red box. The kind that comes from pearls that you stir for half a lifetime. I have to say that there is nothing in the world quite like a bowl of warm tapioca pudding late at night. I know what I'm having with my dinner tomorrow... if it lasts that long.

IrishHeart Veteran

I love homemade tapioca pudding with fresh whipped cream....total yumsters.  Enjoy! 

 

Dinner tonight is going to be escarole and white bean soup. 

 

Right after I finish cleaning the garden beds out. I'm on a mission....

Chicken stir fry, rice and veg.

I have been starving all day, I ate too many cashews.

My garden is a mess. If only we could do all the stuff we do when selling a house to the one we live in now. Mind you, me have visitors booked for 3 days next month, so have to get the spare room sorted by then...

I'm a brutal task-master and have no qualms barking orders and tossing out things. (hard to believe, given how delightful and sedate I am, isn't it?) Shall I come over?

experimental night tonite - i have rice paper wraps, assorted veggies and frozen shrimp.  i'm thinking of marinating the veggies and rolling them up with cooked shrimp.  but i also have cream cheeeeeeese.  and i wonder if i wrap them up and fry them how that will be.  playing with my food again.....

yes, the end of the month we have family coming in - one spare room is 'ready' - we have alot to do.  plus, i can't get everybody to commit what exact day they are coming, so all my plans on who to put in which house/room are all up in the air.  on the up side, these plans will probably change one hundred times from now til then!

the tossing out things part!!  between me (sentimental) and hubs ("that might be good for something - we might *need* it")  we have a bunch of crap that, honestly, i would never go looking for or miss if it was gone.  it's the tossing out part we get stuck on!

I keep sentimental stuff too, but the stuff you have not used in five years? Never going to use it. Let it go.

Haha I have 7 years brain fog induced paper filing to deal with. Always the first thing to go when the fog sets in....

love2travel Mentor

Will soon be on a plane to Croatia. Dinner tonight will just be a snack as I have several billion excited butterflies in my tummy. Cannot wait for the wondrous seafood and fish from the Mediterranean! We will be frequenting the markets for fresh produce to cook in our charming outdoor kitchen, which is a far cry from our solid block of ice we call northern Canada. Snowing at the moment. Again! REDRUM, REDRUM, REDRUM. THINGER, THINGER, THINGER. Don't worry about me...bwah ha ha ha....

I had a blast using a paper shredder for 3 days. That thing is awesome!

The things "someone" had kept "JIC"...oy. Everyone needs receipts from 1984 right? :mellow:

I should talk, I had student grade sheets, letters, evals, etc. from just as far back. I kept some of them because they meant something to me

at the time. One read- through on a rainy afternoon and I had a good cry and a few laughs, put aside a chosen few (most importantly, the notebook of hand-written letters from the very first class I taught back in the stone age) and the rest, I shredded and chucked.

No regrets.

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.

      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
