Fruit leather.... .. ..... .hmmm...well, if it all ends up tasting like crap, you could perhaps fashion them into penis slings -- my BIL was telling us that leather prices have skyrocketed, so his racing sled dogs are doing without........

Jeez, another whole market......I`m such a genius.... :rolleyes:

Brilliance and beauty - all in one!

We'll combine the two ideas and sell "Edible Penis Slings! Practical Protein with that extra rush of sugar energy!!"

Made some blackberry jam, and now I'm making up trying my hand at no-pectin apple-plum jam.

Brillant! The key to a successful product is having a broad appeal. This can be sold at sporting goods stores, health clubs (gyms) cafes, and adult novelty/toy stores. Even those without a penis will want them for thier love ones!

Bet it was a great show, Lo.

Just remembered the Big Man is gone. Bruce has someone else playing tenor sax tho, right?

Re Naturopaths, I saw one for a while. She was helpful on some things, mostly because I was too new to know much about complications. But there was always something else dissatisfying going on. Like claiming she'd said to also be tomato-free when I was recalling the instructions w/ tomatoes being fine & feeling like I wasted that month & whythehellwasntthiswrittendown ....

Didn't like that she wanted to call villi "cilia", or maybe "celia" in her mind. Isn't cilia a word that comes up when microscoping creek water for single-cell organisms, paramecium-breath?

Hmmm maybe the main good thing about her was just that she believed my judgement/evidence that gluten & other things were real problems. Before that, 2 celiac-recommended MDs wouldn't say more than I was "50-50 for celiac"! :angry:

(I'd been dx'd by an MD 30+ yrs before, but no records remained)

I suppose I see NDs as hit-or-miss now.

Thanksfor the helpful answer Tom (and the rest of you). That sucks about your medical records. I've started to get copies of everything. My first issue with the ND is whether or not she'll take my insurance (currently BC/BS but will change to Medicare and Universal Health in mid September). I plan on having a list of questions for her. For some reason I'm intrigued by the Cherokee Healing. I also don't want my meds messed withbecause they're finally at a helpful stage (once I return to the new pain doctor and get my Oxycontin). I also FINALLY have good numbers with my Celiac. It took two years. Now I just have to keep the Leukemia numbers down (and the auto immune).

Did more walking (uphill & down) to get to our seats at the concert than I've done in well over a year. I expected to have trouble moving today but it was the opposite - I seemed more limber. Now I just need to stop falling (that's been a few weeks as well). I was going to see my neurologist this week but I think I'll cancel it for now. I've been reading a lot of Louise Hay and I'm starting to journal again. I'm also set to start painting and have been making jewelry. So I'm just going to keep thinking positively, check out the naturopath (The disability leaves very little left after Medicare is deducted andI need to make it last).Tomorrow the girl I tutor and her mom and siblings are coming over for a work/play date. I just hope Nikki (mom) remembers her son's gameboy because he has ADHD and little patience. We'll do some crafts - I'll set the older sister Cori and her mom up to make jewelry and slip off with Selia to resume our Explode the Code lessons. I can't believe how much better she's reading. I am SO proud of her!Last week Cori and Selia taught me how to make wire and gemstone rings.I thought I'd only be able to handle a half hour but we hung for 2 hours. I know how good it is for Selia but it's even better for me to be able to put my Special Ed skills to use.

Haven't said this in a while but I honestly don't know what I'd do without this Forum. Even when I can't sit long enough to participate I can print it out and still LMAO. laugh.gifYou are all the best! Peoter you MUST do an eastern leg of your travels. It really is lovely up here and boy would I love to give you a bear hug!!!

Love & Hugs,

Loey

We need to be home by Thursday, and are out of range of any more sillies for this loop. Heading home in the morning.

An eastward loop trip may be in the not-too-distant future.

Sounds like (looks like?) it was a great trip!

I is tuckered. 3 days of full on siding repair. I wanted to finish the caulking and priming today, but decided I just wasn't up for any more time on the ladder. Made two batches of jam, picked more berries and plums, and cleaned the sticky mess that was the kitchen.

Just finished hanging the dishtowels outside, and explained to Butch that he was not to sleep next to the jars of jam.

Caulking and priming tomorrow, using my $7 "oops" Primer+Paint. It's about the color of blueberry yogurt, but since my real paint goes over it, I think I can deal.

Peoter needs to meet the "East Coast Chicks" (and dudes for his companion)! I apologize I forgot the lovely lady's name - too much sun today. I fell asleep (it's supposed to rain for a few days so I think I overdid it -( we'll see how long it takes to dry out a Loey like the fruit leather laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif)

Hugs,

Where have my psillies been? I'm finally back and there hasn't been a posting in days! Today we're going to Thimble Islands in CT. You have to get there by boat (in fact the three main boats are tours boats that give a history of the 90+ Islands). A lot of them are inhabited and make the houses in Newport look like chop liver. Having a GREAT week. Did crafts with Selia's family and then tutored her. I didn't realize her brother and mom were waiting in the car the whole time I tutored Selia. So now we have family fun, Her sister will be entering regular high school in the fall an is a hoot.I set them up with a craft to do during tutoring and it's win-win. started painting (the coward's way - before I use my expensive kits I'm painting by numbers. It still allows me to understand the shading. I'll practice strokes next. FINALLY went to the beach with my neighbor Mary for an hour (I had an appointment and boy was it hot anyway).

OK, I have a doctor's appointment in the morning (I finally correlated it that that's when I can't fall back to sleep. Got my timer and a book and hopefully will fall asleep before I have to get up. I do not like AM doctor appointments but if it was later we couldn't do Thimble Islands. I'll report back on our adventure and I expect to see some posts!!!!!

Love& Hugs,

Loey

What were your first three? Are they available on Kindle? My husband self published afar several houses wanted him to make changes that were two important to him. I always thought his book would have made two good ones. One autobiographical and the other on scientific papers and info that went way over my head (I still read his book and "try" to read the essays but wind up back at the autobiography). What saddened me greatly is that he stopped writing. Now our son is the writer in the family so I continue to believe what's meant to be is meant to be.

Keep Writing and let me know about the first three.

Hugs,

Loey

Found you on Amazon. Now I'll go add you to my Kindle. Looking forward to seeing a non celiac side of you!

P.S. How old's your son? You have a beautiful family. My boy is 20 and will be a Junior at Brown in the fall (but you know this from my posts).

Glad to see I am easy to find! :D I hope you enjoy them. As you can see in the reviews some people love them, and some despise them. Not much in the middle ground.

Not sure. We right now holding with him eating a highly restricted diet for now till he is symptom free for a while. Then we can look at possibly adding some non-gluten foods back in and see what happens.

I put on my detective cap and looked at his home page and there was a web site. The kindle copies are very reasonable (one's free). We should start a book club with his novels!

Yea, the mods wont let me actually link to my books (understandably), but if you follow the path that Loey followed you will find them. Or you can just hit Amazon and search on my name.

Good luck with that. Thankfully my son tested negative for celiac. It would have been one more thing for him to blame my genes for (allergies, height, yada..yada).

As far as how people react to your books it's all someone's taste. Now you've already got fans in us because we know you!!! I'm going to start reading volume one on the way to Thimble Island. It's a huge compliment when I put down a book I'm reading before I finish it but JFK Jr will have to wait. I remember the first time I read my husband's book I was afraid I would't like it but I loved it. Too bad no one other than friends did.

Well I'm heading back to the medicare site to see if I can find out the prices of my meds. We had them at one point yesterday and didn't print it. I want to be able to ask my doctors for cheaper meds when possible. Like I can really afford $170 a month for an allergy pill!!!!

Hugs,

Loey

Yep, they're pretty easy to find.

I spent yesterday making four batches of jam. The last, spiced blackberry, is really tasty. :)

Had homemade yogurt with homemade jam for brekkie. :D

I also have a short contract to do some spreadsheet work for a small architectural firm. Guess I should get started on that... :unsure:

What does one do to make a blackberry "spicy"?

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      By Peggy M · Posted

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
