God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

Janet! :lol: OMG you're killing me! :lol: :lol: That was a great laugh for a stinky Monday morning!!!

Jin, I'm in north central North Carolina. I've been doing the same thing- a/c during the day, because it's 80+ degrees, then I turn on the heat at night because it's 50 degrees! I'm trying to keep the house at a consistent temperature, though, just switching from air to heat. So hopefully it won't kill my electric bill too much.

A few years ago, in March, I think, we had two weeks in the 70s, and bam, it snowed. :o WTH? It makes me crazy when the weather does stuff like that!

So my hospital is opening a state of the art cancer institute in 2009, everything will be under one roof instead of spread all over the campus like it is currently. Today was the dedication ceremony and We got to sign the steel beam that will be visible in the new building. It was neat.

Jesus would have handed out the bread to his apostles and said something like, "This is my body given to you; do this in rememberance of...gee, I dunno about you guys, but this stuff makes me feel really bloated and achy"...

A whole different set of parables. Light, I think you should run with this. "Genetically Modified Grain in the Age of Christ: The Rewriting of the Testaments"... :rolleyes::lol:

Can you imagine.....Jesus and the apostles in FULL neurotoxic depression from highly-glutenized wheat and modified "food" proteins.......they would have been tired, cranky, bloated and pissy and gotten very little done! (like me, for most of my paltry life :angry::huh:)

Thanks for the segue, Jin . . .

:lol: that one always make me out of my mind (with glee)

I was watching from bed, too :lol: The second half, anyway....I chuckled during the scene at the party where Edie was watching who was taking the crab cakes--and then the light dawned :o:D

I'll be thinking good thoughts that the Weasel-puppy is ok and it's all nothing serious. :)

Didn't watch DH last night (Desparate Housewives, not Dear Husband). Actually, I did watch him raking up the bijillion leaves in our backyard. Fall is here, but not according to the thermometer.

So, where are the guys? The very nerve of Richard, actually doing some work. Could that really be happening? Tom has had bubble boy syndrome of late. Hmmmmm...not the same without them.

No skating party just yet :rolleyes:

I AM at work, and I AM at my desk looking diligent, but mostly feeling like crap. Someone snuck me some gluten over the weekend, so I spent the night tossing and turning trying to untwist my bowels...I should have stayed home...but I had to leave the house to drop the kids @ school. Now just killing time, trying not to soil myself. (where's the green guy when you need him :blink: )

Carry on

Oh Richard--not the gluten-induced tossing and turning :( . Happens to me every time--ugh.

Hang in there and I hope it doesn't last too long. :)

I hope whoever snuck you that gluten didn't do it on purpose :angry:

I didn't actually SEE the 'Hoff (incidentally that is the sound my dog used to make as she 'Hoffed something up) in my neighboorhood, so I can't point fingers...

I'm pretty sure it was my Saturday dinner date with my wife's friends. They are well meaning but basically clueless :( It could have been anything. (anything except the "peanut blossoms" i made Saturday and have been snarfing ever since :rolleyes: )

Why!, it's an (empty) Aga.

Looks lovely Carla - hows the kitchen coming on?

BAH on clueless dinner dates Richard <_<

Gonna have to join the ranks of 'got a sick pet' :(

Willbee (Will the kitty) fell off the dining table (missed the chair on his jump down - due to an over zealous shoo-ing by hubby <_< ) INJURED his leg :( ....can't put any weight on it! <_< ..is mewing!! <_<

Hubby is IN THE DOGHOUSE! :angry: for being heavyhanded and it looks like I'll be paying a visit to the vets too (cha-CHING indeed!)

Perhaps me & Susie could set up an international fund 'for people who can't really afford to take their pets to the vets' :lol:

Oh dear :( ...poor pets

oooohhhhh....looking nervously at my huge, goofball, uncoordinated and heavily accident-prone standard poodle...something's in the air! It's travelled to England...what's to stop it floating up here? Gotta watch him.

Sorry about the intestinal grenades, Richard. One of the symptoms I do NOT have when glutened, very fortunately, is obvious flatulence. I'm assuming you do, hence the gas mask. Safe to guess that you remain fairly alone at your end of the office? :P:D

Hi Sillies.

The snow is in Denver, CO.

Which silly lives in NC? I'm jealous, that's where the Blue Ridge Mtns. are right?? Must get there in my lifetime....

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Excellent Janet, I love this!

So sorry Richard you got glutened :( I hope you feel better soon.

With The Hoff on the loose, you never know....

:lol: Patti

Tis true, I saw on the news that the Hoff was reportedly frolicking naked through Richard's neighborhood passing out gluten whilst smelling of wee......

Nikki, that picture was taken about an hour ago ... so, today and tomorrow, my Aga is getting installed ... then the tile floor. Next week, cabinets. :)

I'm not caught up ... I just needed to share my excitement, and no one here even knows what it is! LOL

I've been feeling much better, so have been too busy to keep up with the 30 pages per day! Where were you guys when I was feeling bad?! :P

Snow, yuck!!

      Do Severe Symptoms at Celiac Diagnosis Predict Long-Term Health? (+Video)

      I agree, @Flash1970, I've found a grain free diet more beneficial, too. I like the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a paleo diet, which removes potential problematic foods while healing after diagnosis, then can be expanded and easily maintained long term.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community @colinukcoeliac! I am in the USA but I don't think it is any different here in my experience. In some large cities there are dedicated gluten free restaurants where only gluten free ingredients are found. However, there are a growing number of mainstream eatery chains that advertise gluten free menu items but they are likely cooked and prepared along with gluten containing foods. They are just not set up to offer a dedicated gluten free cooking, preparation and handling environment. There simply isn't space for it and it would not be cost effective. And I think you probably realize that restaurants operate on a thin margin of profit. As the food industry has become more aware of celiac disease and the issue of cross contamination I have noticed that some eateries that used to offer "gluten free" menu items not have changed their terminology to "low gluten" to reflect the possibility of cross contamination.  I would have to say that I appreciate the openness and honesty of the response you got from your email inquiry. It also needs to be said that the degree of cross contamination happening in that eatery may still allow the food they advertise as gluten free to meet the regulatory standards of gluten free advertising which, in the USA is not more than 20ppm of gluten. And that is acceptable for most celiacs and those who are gluten sensitive. Perhaps you might suggest to the eatery that they add a disclaimer about cross contamination to the menu itself.

      This is a very common source of frustration within the celiac community. Many restaurants, including large chain restaurants, now offer a "gluten-free" menu, or mark items on their menu as gluten-free. Some of them then include a standard CYA disclaimer like what you experienced--that they can't guarantee your food will be gluten-free. Should they even bother at all? This is a good question, and if they can't actually deliver gluten-free food, should they even be legally allowed to make any claims around it?  Personally I view a gluten-free menu as a basic guide that can help me order, but I still explain that I really have celiac disease and need my food to be gluten-free. Then I take some AN-PEP enzymes when my food arrives just in case there may be contamination. So far this has worked for me, and for others here. It is frustrating that ordering off a gluten-free menu doesn't mean it's actually safe, however, I do feel somewhat thankful that it does at least signal an awareness on their part, and an attempt to provide safe food. For legal reasons they likely need to add the disclaimer, but it may also be necessary because on a busy night, who knows what could happen?

      @cristiana,  It's the same here, doctors check just Vitamin D and B12 routinely.  The blood tests for other B vitamins are so inaccurate, or expensive and time consuming, doctors tend to gloss over their importance.   B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted in urine.  Some people need to be careful with Pyridoxine B6 because they can store it longer than most due to genetics.  A symptom of Pyridoxine B6 deficiency is peripheral neuropathy.  Taking Pyridoxine B6 will relieve the neuropathy, but excess Pyridoxine can also cause peripheral neuropathy.  So, if neuropathy symptoms return, stop taking the Pyridoxine and it will resolve quickly as the excess Pyridoxine is used.  But the body still needs the other B vitamins, so taking them separately without Pyridoxine can be an option.   If one is low in Vitamin D, one may also be low in the other fat soluble vitamins, A, E, and K.  Vitamin K is important to bone and circulatory  health.  Vitamin A helps improve the health of the intestine, eyes, skin and other mucus membranes.  Vitamin E helps our immune system stay healthy.   Important minerals, iron, magnesium and calcium, as well as a dozen or so trace minerals are important, too.  They need the B vitamins to be utilized, too.   Our gluten free diets can be low in B vitamins.  Our absorption can be affected for many years while we're healing.  Supplementing with B vitamins boosts our absorption and helps our bodies and our brains function at optimal levels.   Hope this helps!

      Welcome to the forum @colinukcoeliac. Letting them know that they lost a customer because they could not satisfy cross contamination needs may incline them to fix that problem.  It was good of tnem to alert you.  The more they know...
