Almost Glutened by a Raven !!

The purpose of this little story is to give you all a smile and to say gluten lurks everywhere, even where we least expect it!

We live in a rural area with a lot of wild creatures close by.  Yesterday a raven flew overhead and dropped a piece of whole wheat bread, smack, in the middle of our small doggie yard.  We saw the raven fly over and we saw it drop the bread!  We were in the doggie yard in a heartbeat to retrieve the bread before any dogs could find it.  I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that had we not seen it happen, had one of the dogs eaten that bread and then given me a slurpy doggie kiss - ooops!  I could have been a little sick that night and never known the true why!

Very believeable Elijah!  Is your back yard near a brook?  Did they bring you hot dogs too? :)

Open Original Shared LinkGet thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. Open Original Shared LinkAnd it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. Open Original Shared LinkSo he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that isbefore Jordan. Open Original Shared LinkAnd the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. Open Original Shared LinkAnd it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. Open Original Shared LinkAnd the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Open Original Shared LinkArise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

Oh my gosh! You are so right; you would have driven yourself crazy trying to figure out how you had gotten glutened. I'm glad you saw it happen & were able to retrieve it before the doggies could get it. Now that the danger is over; it is a funny story.

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. ...
