you know what you need? An immersion blender! They're so awesome! And way easier to clean than a whole food processor. You should look it up, you can get a good one for 40 bucks. Good for smoothies and soups and whipping cream and all sorts a stuff!

I used to have one of those!!!!

Burned the motor up making milkshakes all the time :P

Love me beans......one of the few things I CAN eat! Have not tried the brownies, though.

Poor Gerald Geraldine :(

This weekend......phamily stuph. Teenage babydaddy nephew went off and got married, so there's a reception tomorrow. Then a family get-together Sunday, because one of Brian's sisters is in town. It will be a surprise for them when my son, Nathan shows up :D

No more school work. Good and bad. Now I'll have time to get some projects done around the house, but no money to spend on them <_<

Did your Hub come home for the weekend? Wish we lived closer, we could do something. My hub and M are going camping and fishing. J will have his own agenda (17 yr olds do). I should clean my closet or something productive but don't wanna.

Patti, it was RobbWolf who talked quite a bit about legumes and lectins - quite interesting :D and very un-Psilly. That's the way I am today. Also interesting (to me) I had just bookmarked a page of his yesterday from another poster here. :huh:

Next weekend. With the holiday, he'll be here 3 whole days :D Closet cleaning is one of those things I have to be in the mood for :P I wish you lived closer too...feels kinda lonely here since we only moved here 6 months ago and although I'm friendly with people, I really haven't made friends so to speak....which I suppose is for the best since I'll be leaving too. If this house ever sells....

Hey, gang!

Well, we Canucks have our long weekend now, a week before our southern neighboUrs - -this is Victoria Weekend, when we celebrate Queen Vicki's birthday. She was quite a monarch, and I am so pleased that we venerate her as we do here. She was one of the first users of chloroform as an anaesthetic during childbirth. She publicly praised and drank the fashionable nineteenth-century cocaine-based drink Vin Mariani that later inspired Coca-cola. AND she outlived 12 of her 42 grandchildren.

Yay, Vicki! :DB)

I plan to do good, Victoria-inspired works today, things like tending to my outdoor fauna, grooming the dogs, visiting my mom..... . . ..dunno if I'll have the opportunity nor the wherewithal to consume any cocaine - - may have to work at that one. ..... .<_<

:lol:

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!

But of course! They did a vegan tea for me at the Empress, my food was much better than Jesse's ;) Also, they do a celiac meal if any of y'alls are up here sometime!

Well, I think I've finally recovered from Wednesday afternoon evening night...

I followed Wednesday with a Thursday. It was Baaaaaaaaad! I came back to the hotel and passed out before 10. I took 8 shots in 10 minutes..... :blink: Yes, stupid (but tasty!)

Gah! I do hope they were shaped like veritable maple leaves. . .. . ...!

Absolutely!!!!

her thighs?? :blink:

And yes, after this week, they are! The smaller point at the knees and they just keep widening out from there!!! I think we're going to ride bikes up to Butchart Gardens today. That should burn a few calories! 19km each way :o -----Like I know how many miles a km is :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

19 km is 11.7 miles. But it probably seems farther in metric units. It balances out though, cuz everything seems lighter in kilos. 45 kilograms doesn't sound nearly as heavy as 100 pounds (until you actually try to lift it ;) ).

Of course, the Brits have it even better. I only weigh FOURTEEN stone.

Well I ain't posting my weight in any metric, but I will arm wrestle any a' yas that come to my side of the island here.

I'm not posting me weight in any phorm B)

kareng Grand Master

I try to ignore my weight in all forms. I do like my weight if I were on the moon.

I just painted my toe nails an odd shade of red. In the bottle it looked like it would be a lovely burgandy - like the color that you see when you hold a glass of red wine up to the light. On me toesies it looks like dried blood with a shine. But its there, so there it will stay for a few days.

Taking the dog up to the rehab/ nursing home to see my mom. Fun times... :unsure:

Believe it or not, the same thing happened to me recently. We had been invited out to dinner before Mark left, and I was going to wear black so I thought it would be nice to change my toenails from my usual peach to red.

I got a really pretty (I thought) Chianti type deep red, but once I applied it it was too much of a good thing. It was dried blood red and against me very fair (read pasty) skin....oye :unsure:

Kept it on for a while too, but have since gone back to me trusty (boring) peach. :D

J, the 17 year old, said "cool that it looks like dried blood. The vampire thing is really in right now."

Don't want to leave right now. J's friend is playing some lovely guitar music below this open window.

Yeah--the look would have been better suited for someone a lot younger than me :lol:

It actually wasn't that bad, it was just sort of jarring.

Holy hot waiter Batman!!! In a kilt too, no less! Thank God for sunglasses :). Our 19km bikeride each way turned into a 4 hour, we don't know where the hell we are, bikeride. Can't say it was particularly fun, but the gardens were beautiful! So here we sit, unable to move, at this awesome Irish pub eating and drinking our aches and pains away ;)

      @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.

      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!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat. 
    • trents
      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.
