Torture, indeed. :lol: but useful, perhaps?

and here's something to ponder......

why is it that knickers are called "underwear" in the US, and not knickers? Knickers here refers to.....well, those kinds of pants that pilgrims wore, maybe, that ended just below the knee? :lol:

wait......what ARE knickers here? :huh:

and just WHO decided and at WHAT time that Americans would no longer use the term knickers but underwear or underpants or panties for the unmentionables? You know I really would sit and research this now but am heading into make some bread and then a necklace and well, my neck and back are killing me and also I have a GAS BOMB that was the size of Texas when I awoke this morning (but is now perhaps the size of - New Hampshire maybe?) :huh:

Indeed much knicker pondering and musing

Here (uk) it's underwear, knickers for girls, pants for blokes (as in y fronts :ph34r: ) or boxers for blokes (jockeys?)

I always imagined the knicker to the knee is a pantaloon or bloomers -- (gotta try them - are we talking ultimate comfort but total complete and utter passion killers? :unsure::lol: )

:lol: :lol:

But would one wear a thong under said bloomers? :lol: Indeed, pure comfort, let's just walk around in pantaloons. Methinks one wore what we call pantaloons in this country in the era of "Gone with the Wind" and such, under those big horrid hoop skirts. :huh: (of course, the hoop skirt certainly could hide all sorts of ills - big butts, gas-bloated bellies, knocked knees, flabby thighs, and the dreaded front-butt) :lol:

WE call the men's undies boxers or briefs, as you may know. but not PANTS or Y-pants. :lol:

much knicker pondering in a busy afternoon, I run back to the computer in betwixt making a necklace when my eyes strain too much. :lol:

a girlfriend has demanded a mojito and is arriving soon.............

Pooh! My recommendation - - Trader Joe's Rice PUdding. OMG, could eat GALLONS of it. Unless of course you must avoid dairy, but I think you're okay with it?

I wouldn't have any trouble gaining weight if I were allowed to have SUGAR!!!! <_<

I do make "fudge" out of coconut oil, raw cacao beans, agave syrup, almond butter, vanilla, and salt. I eat it with a big bowl of berries covered in whipped cream (made from whipping cream and agave syrup).

Darn, I'm out of fudge tonight, I'll have to settle for berries and whipped cream.

of course, the hoop skirt certainly could hide all sorts of ills - gas-bloated bellies

Are you forgetting the corset? :blink: Ouch.

Good evening, all, from Cheriton, nr Aylresford!

A beautiful truly English town an hour east of London..just checking up on you all. We've spent an incredible week in London, then two nights here in an Inn that was built in the 16th century, then on to Paris for a week. I miss all your quick wit. Nikki, you have an incredible city here. I love it, and am so glad I came!

MIND THE GAP....

Emily, I'm so glad you didn't forget about us during your Europe trip!! How nice! Glad you're having a good time.

Morgan just reminded me ... it's 2PM and I forgot to eat lunch ... if it weren't for all the pills I take in a day, I'd never think of eating!

tom Contributor
Doesn't it depend on what the panty lines look like? I mean, if they're granny panties, do you still get the same thrill seeing the lines?

What the VPL "looks like"? Ah no no, it depends on what the *girl* looks like! :P

Or were you referring to me "mothering" you by telling you to eat right.

Bee Eye En Gee Oh !!

Mmmmmmm I'm at the beautiful park in middle of Los Gatos downtown. <sigh>

Farmer's Market today too.

Might live w/in walking distance soon!!

Been actually surprised that something like that is 'affordable'!! :o:):):);)

Sough-sie? Does the entire "artificial vanilla = gluten" question have to die on the vine? :unsure:

Will I need to wait thru 20+ pageloads on the ph to try to figure it out for myself?

(I've been a little short on time lately)

TOM!!!! you HAVE to let that one go....all I know is that I was wildly sick on Tues., and the only new thing was that nut bar. those were the only suspect ingredients.

why oh WHY are you still obsessing over this...............for all I know I picked up a parasite by accidentally drinking the wrong water (from their spigot and not the bottled water we brought)....

:( grrrrr fine . .. . . . droppin' it like a wormy apple.

The thing is, I 85% expect to be able to eat like you and every other 'gluten-free only' celiac before too long. Except that unlike many, I expect to never *get* glutened.

To do this, I'll need to know every possible source of gluten.

A quick look revealed no sign of ppl believing artificial vanilla isn't gluten-free. A few types of gluten-free cookies even include artificial vanilla in them.

Of course besides the practical side of not glutening mySELF someday w/ a nut bar, . . . .I know ya KNOW I can't help but try to solve a puzzle. (dontcha?)

<btw that WAS 30-35% less>

Oh how I wish I was somewhere I had to MIND THE GAP!!!!! yay for travel!

Tom- Sweetness, you must understand my brain hurts ever so much and I can't read anything. Oh the ache!!!!

Here's a silly for you:

The doctor that had been seeing an 80 year old woman for most of her life finally retired.

At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all her medications that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?"

"Yes, they help me sleep at night."

"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possible help you sleep."

She reached out and patted the young doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks. And believe me, it helps me sleep at night!"

I'd say yours had too big of a string ... or maybe they were too small, if they're crammed up there, it's uncomfortable, too.

OMG Carla-You kill me... only you would analyze the WHY of Jestgar's thong being uncomfortable. You tOTALLY remind me of my sister (who has said the EXACT same thing to me about thongs). :P

Nice of you not to add "maybe your butt's just too big"...

CarlaB Enthusiast

I can't decide who to quote ... you both crack me up!

It's never the butt being too big ... it's always the underwear's fault.

Hi Emily! nice to see you!!

OMG I haven't been to London in so long - - - totally forgot what MIND THE GAP meant..... :( and get this, I have an all-expenses paid trip to chicago coming up, and don't even want to go....don't even bloody care. :huh: such a slovenly old Hag am I, not even wishing to get out of her comfort zone. :lol::ph34r:

I LOVE Chicago! When are you going? I haven't been there in a while ... can't remember the last time ... oh, I remember, it was summer 2003, I had such a bad pain in my knee I could hardly walk ... the start of it all.

Fill me in ... what is MIND THE GAP?

I think "mind the gap" has something to do with the Tube (that underground transportation thing-y everyone rides in London)??? :huh: Nikkeigh - help us - -

Chicago is supposed to be in September. I just don't really care and it seems like too much effort (a three-night trip at a FABULOUS hotel).......I don't know what to wear in Chicago. :lol: :lol: :lol: Probably not my usual scroungy stuff and flip-flops.

um, what the heck would I do there? (other than museums)......as of now I have decided I don't even care......talk me into going? :) I am SO not a city girl.........harrumph......

CarlaB Enthusiast

Ugg. I just hit the wrong key and LOST my post ... about trying on a Van Cleef and Arpel's 1.1 million dollar necklace! :o BTW, I was wearing designer jeans, Memphisto shoes, and a white t-shirt. I was talking about the ape at the zoo ... there was just glass between us and the ape ... the ape teased my little sister, hysterical.

I love the museums! I'd like to spend more time at the art museum.

The Magnificent Mile is a fun place to shop, and is fun at night. I love the street musicians. My favorite was a group of four sisters ... a string quartet playing classical music on the street to put themselves through college!

I also remembered that I was there the summer before last ... I played flute at Cardinal George's Mass!!!! It was SO cool. The other flute player was a music major and was VERY good. She was supposed to do a solo for the offertory ... she and the piano player were going to practice it after regular practice was over.

The morning of the Mass she says, "Did they tell you?" "Uh, tell me what?" "We're playing the offertory together because it was too difficult for the piano player!

Hello?? What makes them think I can play it?! So she says, "Do you want to play through it before Mass starts?" Uh, no, I'd rather sight read, right. We go to a back room and run through it a couple times, then play it together with no accompaniment. It was one of those where she played 8 bars, then I played 8 bars, then we played together.

Anyway, it was a fun trip! I would never do that right now with my braces. :( I can't wait to get them off ... the only time they bug me is for my flute playing.

      BRAND NAME: NOT BURGER PLANT-BASED PATTIES  A product I came across labeled gluten-free bought it when I got home I read the back ingredients further to notice that it says gluten with a line going through it u will see in the attached pics.     The label says down below that it is processed in a facility that also processes "WHEAT".  I tried to put this on the Gov. website as false advertisement but couldn't do it.  Maybe on here at least the word can get out to others not to purchase anything gluten-free without throughly reading the whole label....It won't let me upload 2 pics.  says to contact manager.   The products name is Not Burger    INGREDIENTS: Water, Pea Protein, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Bamboo Fiber, Less than 2% of: Methylcellulose, Dried Yeast, Rice Protein, Salt, Cocoa Powder Processed with Alkali, Psyllium Husk, Potato Fiber, Red Beet Juice Powder (color), Chia Protein Concentrate, Spinach Powder.   Manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat and soy.          MANUFACTURED FOR: The NotCompany, Inc, 438    Treat Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110.

      Let me start by saying that I am self- diagnosed Celiac. I didn't want to pay for tests, because I don't have health insurance and the doctor said I would HAVE to eat gluten for the tests and I am afraid it will kill me. I diagnosed myself by quitting dairy, sugar and gluten for a couple weeks and figured out the problem by process of elimination.  ANYWAYS.......here's why I blame "Aspirin low dose safety coated" for my Celiac Disease.  I started taking regular Aspirin for a couple weeks for back pain and decided to switch to low dose safety coated Aspirin because I thought a smaller dose was safer for regular use. Well about 3 days after starting low dose safety coated aspirin, I got a terrible UTI. I didn't know what to do (should have gone to doctor) I started taking cranberry pills and read Aspirin can cause UTIs, so stopped taking that. A week later, the UTI was getting worse but then my Dad gave me some probiotic pills and the next day I felt better, so I took those for a week and the UTI was gone. About a week later, I bought my family cake and pizza for a birthday party. I ate a whole bunch and there was some leftover the next day, so I ate a bunch again. Welp, that was my first Gluten attack. I was home alone and almost called an ambulance, my stomach was so full of gas I couldn't breathe, I was covered in sweat and thought I was having a heart attack.  Since quitting Gluten I haven't had the "gas attacks" or had the awful constipation that lasts 3 days. So I'm certain I'm Celiac and I absolutely blame low dose safety coated Aspirin, I think it's the time release binder that is the problem, because I was fine with regular aspirin, I was just breaking those into halves or quarters. Actually now that I think about it I may have even used the regular aspirin at other times in my life before that, just not the little low dose safety coated Aspirin, that's what I think caused it. What's weird is my Dad took the low dose safety coated Aspirin for years and years, for it's reported heart benefits, and he never got Celiac.  Anyways, I felt this was important to share, so they can find the cause of this disease, which seems to be affecting more people than ever before. At least Gluten Free Pizza exists, that's been my new staple food in my diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.
