I wonder what it is about them? A few other things will give me digestive problems, but legumes are different. Different even from gluten.

Can you have almonds? You should try Elana's pantry almond butter brownies. Oh. My. God. You can replace the agave with honey one for one, if you want, too.

Well, I have my own theories that not too many others seem to subscribe to :wacko: that it is a lectin problem :blink: . Have been talking to veggienft on another forum, and listening to all his stuff about cytokine storms which sounds like eggzactly what happens when those nasty lectins invade :ph34r: But I have shut the gate and put triple locks on it and reinforced it with metal rods and nasty spikes, so they are not getting in again!

Don't be skeert Khareign. :)

You're not intolerant to them, right?

I don't think so.

Ok this guy just came to the door selling "pest management". First he rang the door bell 3 rings in a row. Then he banged on the door. Once I had manly teenaged back up, I opened it and told him that in this city you have to respect the "no soliciting" sticker on the outside of the window. He looked around & then I looked & it wasn't there anymore! One of these solicitors peeled it off! Now I have to go to City Hall & get a new one. :angry:

Hey, he wasn't from a company called Venture, was he? 'Cuz he was just here a few days ago.

That sounds very interesting. There was a sports doctor (well, that's what he said he was...lol!) on the board a while back and he would answer questions for us. I asked about legumes and he said that it's not unusual for folks with autoimmune diseases to have problems with them. I wish I could remember his name--his posts are still in the "sports/fitness" forum.

It was Enviro something.

I could send you a sticker or maybe you could make one. It has a little lettering under the big "No Soliciting" that says something official like "pursuant to Karen city code # 24568-126"

There was a sports doctor (well, that's what he said he was...lol!)

Yes, well ... I'm a supermodel. You've seen me in Victorias Secret. Yeah.. That's it!

(OK - truth is I have been in Victorias Secret to get my niece a Xmas gift).

OK.. youse guys are scaring me. Was going to have a veggie mix with black beans in it. Now I look at the picture and see evil faces on the beans. Wait, is that slices of onions or little white machine guns?

:lol: You is phunneee, Kherrighnne... . . . ..... ...psychopathic beans....... . ..

Something else I was going to say but can't see the posts & didn't not do speedy reply.

Well.. . . ........likely a prudent move, as there could have been li'l black beans hidden, scattered within the text of those posts lurking behind you. . . ... . . . .... :huh::lol:

I must be tired.. .. . ...these things are really crackin' me up.... ... . .

I'm sorry, but that just does NOT sound appealling. Black beans do NOT belong in desserts.

Truly, black beans are excellent in brownies. I make the recipe from time to time and everybody raves. Actually, there is very little gained by putting them into such things - - they are high in calories, and except for the protein and some fibre, there ain't a whole lot nutritionally to say about them.. . ...... ..it's just a neat novelty to see the faces of those who have polished off three brownies upon hearing that these treats are full of pureed black beans.. .. ...... . .

...and listening to all his stuff about cytokine storms which sounds like eggzactly what happens when those nasty lectins invade :ph34r: But I have shut the gate and put triple locks on it and reinforced it with metal rods and nasty spikes, so they are not getting in again!

Perhaps all you need is a smearing of peanut butter and Cheese Whiz. It finally worked on Gerald.... . . ...!

Man, you needed to buy his "pest management" system, and set it up for the next time he comes a' ringing and a' banging.. . .. .. . ....much irony, here, in the product this bloke is flogging like he does.... :lol:

Well.... . . . we heard the "SNAP" just after midnight. "Ahhhhh..... . . I GOT him...... . I just KNOW it!!!".......DH whispered as we lay there.

This morning I opened the cupboard door, and honest to gawd, I saw THE most horrifically obese mouse one could ever imagine... . . . he looked like a big, furry tennis ball with a long tail. Good thing the trap got him across the back of the head, as his body had gotten so huge it would not have fit in the trap.

:blink:

:lol:

RIP, Gerald. Due to your enormity, I now know that it was you alone, the solitary renegade, carefully and cleverly avoiding the lethal trap for so long, and reaping all those spoils.. . . . . . ....

I guess there's a lesson there, somewhere. ........ . . . .... . . .poor, fat Gerald. . ....!

Hahahaha!!!

Have you tried the glue trraps? They're strips of uber sticky glue and I put a blob of PB in the middle. Once they touch the paper they stick and cannae get off. Not super humane but super effective! The first one we caught was just by the hind legs and Max was so distraught that we actually had to take it into the park and pry the poor thing off with a knife. I told him we'd come back and check on him later and if he was gone he must have felt better and ran away. Madeleine said, "or something ate it!!!". Stinker!!

God help me....the maple cream filled cookies! My thighs are NOT gonna thank me tomorrow!

Sounds like you are having fun. Did you make your husband shoe shop and go to High Tea? That should earn him some gluten-free brownie points!

Cat challenge on hold until the morning. Ran late at work, traffic was hell. Got home in time to make pizza supper and watch FlashForward and CSI. We're not in the store until early afternoon on Fridays so we will try things out in the morning.

Methinks you actually caught Geraldine . . . a pregnant Geraldine . . . lucky you did before you had lots of little Geralds and Geraldines running about.

Well, I think I've finally recovered from Wednesday afternoon evening night... It's been a very long week with lots of running around and I will be glad to have a day off. If it stops raining maybe I'll finally plant some things in my garden.

Skipping the workout today -although I'll probably still get in six miles of walking- but may be having drinks tonight with a friend. She had a boss she hated, turned in her resignation, talked to HR who told her "wait, stay one more week", and then fired her boss :P . They're restructuring the whole department and want her to stay and be one of the top managers. She may need to celebrate.

Hmm.... . ..... . ..they are probably boring, hard to work with, expensive and high-maintenance. I just want the regular men - - much more exciting, bad for my health, easy to be with, can pick 'em up in any fast food joint. . .... . ...

Trying to avoid cleaning out the fridge & organizing the cabinets so that all the stuff I bought at Costco & Target will fit. Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend? Hub & M are going on a Fishing campout for Scouts.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
