    Here it is! Post number 6,000 by yours truly. Scott is still at 5,997. The plumber and his helper are here, trying to get to the root of the problem. Well, that is it, you see. The drain is partially obstructed by tree roots that the plumber's snake is having trouble getting through. This is a condo, so the part of the plumbing outside the walls is the...

    So, I am getting close to 6,000 posts (this should be 5,998). Scott is a post ahead of me when I last checked. Bad karma is already coming my way! I drive a 12-year-old Toyota 4Runner. The hand brake cable is sticking. I use the hand brake all the time, because I shift for myself (manual transmission). 2000 was the last model year that you could...

    I shortened it (the title) so it would all show in the summary displays.

    By popular request, I have given this topic a new title. If you have any feedback, please send me a message.

    So, what, was he sneaking around the produce section, trying to spy on the potatoes without being seen? I love auto-correct.

    We boil for eight minutes and bake for 25.

    I am SO not going there. (I'm a Cancer.)

    Casein is milk, and as such, must be clearly disclosed by federal law. Read the label.

    We use and like Tinkyada Brown Rice Elbows. But pasta one of the areas where individual preferences vary widely.

    Indeed. She had not posted here in a long time.

    It has now been almost seven years since federal law required that wheat be clearly disclosed on packaged food in the United States. Rye and oats never were hidden. Barley is the remaining concern. It can hide in malt vinegar and malt flavor. Avoid malt--but don't worry about words beginning with m-a-l-t, such as maltose, maltitol and maltodextrin. Open...

    Welcome! It could be an issue with lactose. You said you are fairly new to celiac disease and the diet. If your body was damaged by celiac disease, your intestine will not heal overnight. My nausea and vomiting continued for several weeks after going gluten-free. It was about three months before I was generally symptom-free.

    I also see this error when trying to view that item.

    In Canada, and in some other countries who were allied with England, we wear a poppy to commemorate the sacrifice of those who gave their lives so that we could enjoy freedom today. Originally it marked World War I; today it remembers the dead of that war, and all wars since. The poppy emblem is inspired by the poem below by Canadian Lt Col. John McCrae...

    No, it just happens once in a while. We call it tumbleweeds.

    ARCHIVED Hot Tea

    Almost anything that contains sugar can be malted. It does not have to be barley, although that is the most common source. When the source is unknown, and the product is not stated to be gluten-free, malt is a red flag. But in this case, I would gather that the source of the malt is not a gluten grain.

    I have been accused of being a digital pack rat. Nolo contendere. Those of you who were active here four years ago, and and still are, check your inboxes.

    They do have to disclose wheat on the package. But sometimes a product, particularly a seasonal one, is made in more than one facility, with slight variations in ingredients. In such a case, a generalization can not be made on the web site. Always read the actual label.

    It appears to be a what Janet suggests. I can view it. Moderators can view it. Regular members get this error. Scott?

    Bad idea. Each time you ingest gluten, you restart the autoimmune reaction that damages your body. It can take a few weeks for the system to recover. Cheating once a month would render the other gluten-free days of the month pointless. This isn't like diabetes, where the effect of some sugar is gone from the system in 24 hours. The adverse effects of gluten...

    I had severe symptoms for years prior to my diagnosis: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, anemia, and others. I saw a significant improvement within six weeks, but it was more like six months to feel normal. A follow-up five years later showed normal villi. In other words, complete healing of the intestine on a strict gluten-free diet.
