He'll probably do his thing where he quotes everything he wants to comment on and makes a VERY long single post from it!!! It'll take him all day, then it'll take us a week to read and comprehend the whole thing :lol::lol::lol:

OMG--that IS probably what he'll do! :D

I was wondering if I was in the wrong thread for some "adult" talk. ;)

I don't know about "adult" talk. We're not talking about Altoids or anything--just general gabbery :lol:

Do you think he'll be upset at the mess that we've made of this thread, or would he be upset if there was nobody here? I mean if you have to come home to a messy "house", isn't it better to walk in on a party?

There's adult, and then there's ADULT (looks around for Karen :ph34r: )

True--most likely he'll just jump right back in!

I think the "fart on a skillet" :blink: might illicit a comment from him!

I'm guessing you got tired of being the adult, and that's why you popped in over here! ;)

Or would it be that I'm the kid and playing on the computer too much? :blink::ph34r:

I don't know how you do it! When I was working (I quit to be a mommy in 1999), we had just gotten mailine computers (I worked for a bank, accounting) with windows. I always enjoyed minesweeper, which a coworker showed me. We always had to watch for the boss. I always got my work and others work done though. I spent some time reading too. :ph34r: When I worked there they were nice enough to let us have our own music (since we weren't on the teller line). They changed that the year after I left.

Our main database software is down for maintenance/upgrades (for 4 days) so there is not much I could be doing!

Unlike me and you, probably haveing a productive day getting things done out there in the real world some place....

Hey, I'm being productive, I'm resting and healing, that's my job right now!!!! Doctor's orders!!! And, I've been to the grocery, done a load of laundry, and the big task of feeding myself fresh food all day!

You guys are hysterical.

Richard, we can't have dairy!!! Or soy!!! But, yes, before I was off dairy, I loved them! I even loved eggnog lattes better!!

I am drinking a FOAMY spiced rooibos chai! It's very good! So, Patti, almond milk does foam, not exactly the same as dairy, but it's still foam! Now, what was that thread called?

Just add "milk"

Open Original Shared Link

...and yes, it is gluten free!

Or if you'd like to do it the hard way:

Enjoy!

Oh! Didn't even think of premade chai since I'm not supposed to have sugar! That can be made with almond milk! The stuff I've had is chai with real eggnog ... The stuff I'm making now is just chai tea that I brewed with almond milk. That sugary stuff is better, but can't have it!

What about the homemade recipe? (Could you replace the milk/cream with something)

I've only been a lurker on this thread, but had to come share your pain about no eggnog at Christmas. I haven't had eggnog for 10 Christmases and for some reason was just talking about it yesterday and feeling sorry for myself. Do you think there's any way to make "fakenog" with almond milk, thickener and spices?

Yea we need get my son re-tested for egg, I am holding on tight to the belief that he will out grow his egg allergy very soon! In fact might get him tested again nextmonth!

Oh man!!!! That's right....we can't have eggnog anymore. :(:(:angry:

We used to drink Silk Nog and are soy intolerant. We've gone dairy free as I'm dairy allergic, don't know about the kids yet. I suspect they are too since there enterolab scores were about the same as mine, which if I'm right would be mildly allergic.

:(:(:( So much for the party. :angry:

I'd have to look up some recipes online. I just sold a cookbook that had an eggnog recipe in it. It did use soy though, but if it had just been milk it would have been easy to sub.

I'm not sure it would be possible to make dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free "egg"nog. I'm positive that flax seeds and Ener-G egg replacer wouldn't work for it.

Chai nog

An Eggnog Alternative

2 Chai tea bags

5 cups water

2 tsp. grated fresh ginger

2 tsp. grated orange peel

1 tsp. grated lemon peel

2 sticks cinnamon, broken in half

1/4 cup honey

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups whipped cream

1 tsp. vanilla

In saucepan, bring water, ginger, peels, and

cinnamon to boil. Add tea bags and steep for

7 minutes. Add honey, vanilla, milk, and cream

to liquid. To serve hot, reheat liquid; or serve cold

over crushed ice. Makes 8 cups.

Could you use one of the milk alternitives in that?

Hmmm, rice or almond milk for the milk, but NOTHING is as yummy, rich, fatty or decadent as real whipped cream.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing.   One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream.  If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines, hence the statement "tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet."  The bloodwork reflects anemia.  People with anemia can have false negatives on tTg IgA tests because anemia interferes with antibody production.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency are other conditions that may result in false negatives.  Anemias, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, Thiamine deficiency and gastritis are common in undiagnosed Celiac disease.    The DGP IgG antibody test should be given because your daughter is so young.  Many young people test positive on DGP IgG because their immune systems are not mature and don't produce IgA antibodies yet.  Your daughter has several alleles (genes for Celiac disease).   Your daughter needs to be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Iron (ferritin) B12, Vitamin D, Thiamine and Vitamin A should be checked.   Were any biopsies taken during the endoscopy? Keep us posted on your progress.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.
