I'm pretty sure it's byow. That way there'll be no arguing over flour paste in casks. If you get glutened it's your own fault.

Oh! thank goodness! I didn't want to be responsible for all that glutening! Robert Mondavi is rolling over in his grave at the thought of flour in his wine!

J had the cold that is going around for about 2 hours. Matt coughed about 5 times. I guess there is some benefit to our over vigilant immune systems. :unsure:

Well I hope none of you were at the party. We don't need the entire board - guests included - coming down with something.

jerseyangel Proficient

We had planned to go to South Jersey over the weekend, but didn't want to give Mark's cold to the kids. We called Matt Friday night to let him know.

Saturday morning I got an email from him saying he woke up with the start of a cold and he musta caught it over the phone. :P

I swear life doesn't slow down :rolleyes: Hub got back from business trip in sunny Orlando, where, for their opening welcome night, the had rented out all of Universal Studios, so he had a blast. I actually had a really good time with the kids and the new bunbun who is attached to me already (and I to him ;) ). I had a brunch at my house for my family Sunday morning and a Demarle dinner party Sunday evening. It was a lot of fun, but we didn't sell a whole lot... Oh well! Back to the grind this week :unsure:

UGH!!dry.gif

Did I tell you guys we're FINALLY getting a new kitchen?? Complete remodel.

GAWD! That dust goes ALL over the house mad.gif

Congrats!!! And gooooooooood luck ;) Twas the worst 2 months of my life and I even have and extra kitchen!

Hello my dear psillies,

I am literally having the !@#$iest birthday of my life!!!!!!! Loey

Happy Birthday! I hope it got better.....

Holy hell.. . . . ..my ass in pancake batter?.. . . .:huh:.....dunno how spiced up that would suddenly make my marriage.. ..,. . .must ask DH. Would one be using a mixmaster in this scenario? Spatula?.. . . .. . .. .I would need quite the frying pan, I fear... . . .... . <_<

Maybe brownie batter, chocolate ganasche.... something like that would probably be better than pancake batter :ph34r:

:lol::lol:

We need to get all the mods "indisposed". Then we take over. I love the emoticons and the new drunk thread. Excellant ideas. I'm going out to get a pirate flag to fly after the mutiny.

No Chex in Canada? After we take over C.com we will have to work on that! Haaaaaa! Power!

Haven't heard about it but will keep my eye out and report. Do they have any other locations in the US?

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!
    • trents
      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!  
    • trents
      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
