Mygad, EVERYTHING they say about wine being cheap here (even cheap stuff) is completely true...wine is served like water with dinner; So, needless to say, everything is VERY good with me...not so much my husband, who is a beer drinker and the ale is very pricey here, interestingly. BIG GAPS TO MIND HERE! Ya gotta really watch when you're hurrying off the underground. I smell big insurance claims!...

Hi Jess,

I'm real sure u didn't read what I was referring to. It was completely impulsive, and definitely not a test.

I was trying to help you out with a semi-plausible excuse.

I'll just go home and sniff my kitties

LOL no Donna I wasn't referring to your single pkg (probably a measly 6-8oz over days, I think), nor to myself Jess. I don't eat anything w/ even the slightest potential of a downside. [Edit: overstated a bit. I will try small amounts of something I'm 98%+ confident will be ok]

It was someone else, and I may have said too much already.

Welllllllllll ok, I have tested a couple things recently, but only things w/ a very high probability of being fine. And in small amounts.

Like wine. Considering I've been having gluten-free beer (Redbridge of course) for many months, I decided to finally try wine again.

Previously, fermented products were off-limits. For 2+ yrs.

But if beer is ok, why not wine?

I'd been thinking about it for a while, then when at a friend's while they were having dinner, I tried 1/2 a glass.

Seemed like no prob, so ~10 days later I even bought a bottle.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!! I know *nothing* about wine!!!!!! :ph34r: (Hoping maybe Dingy can give me a tip or 2? :):) Ideally, a little knowledge on good bang-for-the-buck strategies would suit me best.)

That went fine too, both in cooking and drinking. So yesterday, I bought more! :D

I think I enjoy wine more now than ever in the past. It'll come in real handy when out somewhere - sure can't expect places to have Redbridge on hand!! :lol:

P.S. Hey Donna!!! Still scared about someone tuning-up/fixing your PC for free? <shudder>

LOL ya duly busted!! (I do think I had good reason to migrate a post from OMG, since a part of it could be taken as insulting by some)

Nonetheless!!! I *swear* I tried to think of a joke to throw in at the end, to get in line w/ the purpose of THIS thread. Reminds me of when I used to try to add something *serious* to posts over THERE!!

I've never actually posted a joke here - my attempts at humour are more reactionary. I need something to work w/ and rarely remember 'jokes'. (Oh wait - one time I pasted in to fill a double-post slot)

So FINE!!! :P here's a joke.

A man was driving up a steep, narrow, quite precarious (y muy peligroso) mountain road. A woman approached in the opposite direction. As they passed each other the woman leaned out the window and yelled, "Pig!". The man immediately leaned out his window, shot her the finger and hollered, "B!tch!".

They each continued on their way. Just seconds later, as the man rounded the next bend, he collided w/ a giant hog in the middle of the road, totalling his car. :P

Please Tom, eat some soy!

harrumph :huh:

Ahhhhhh Carla . . . . .

That "brain came home" post of yours yesterday on OMG still kinda gives me chills just thinking about it. :):)

I cannot overstate how important I think it is to now not eat any of what I call the "tolerables".

(Curious about whether you had any agave syrup in the few days before writing "brain came home". <arrgh plz don't take that wrong>)

[This is like a practice post hehe :lol:

Now I've got to figure out how to word it in the OMG thread w/out potentially offending those who think 3lbs of cookies in 2days isn't detrimental]

Yes, I did have the agave syrup. :) I also had my monthly ice cream. :)

The brain still comes and goes along with the Lyme symptoms. Though I think the effect is the same as yours, the cause is different. I spent a little time in the sun today, just 15 minutes, and it triggered the symptoms ... sunlight stirs things up. Changes in abx (which I'm changing today :() stirs things up, herxing stirs things up. So, my brain has come home, it just seems to like to go out once in a while, just not so far from home. I'm not seeing the progressively getting better like you did ... it comes and goes ... before it was just gone.

I KNOW you're trying to get me to avoid certain foods ... and I AGREE that if I reacted to them when I was sicker that they are still as toxic for me now, it's just that my immune system can deal with them better ... so I do still avoid the foods I shouldn't have.

Okay, now everyone else is like, :huh::blink: What's she talking about??? :lol:

I'm glad you're coming across as happier even on the phone. :) I remember here, it was Donna who said I sounded like I felt better ... it comes across in writing, talking, everything!

Oh, and don't tell anyone they eat to many cookies. You'll be in so much trouble.

I was trying to help you out with a semi-plausible excuse.

He hasn't learned that there's always a joke somewhere in your posts here ... sometimes it's not as obvious as others ... that's what's fun about them!

Enjoy your little kitties ... how'd they get the meth???

They were rescued from a meth house. The cops threw them out into the street and left them. The neighbors caught them and called the cat rescue place.

"And now for something completely different"

I found a goat mozzarella and plan on making chicken parmagiana for a 'friend' tonight.

I'm oh so ignorant on many topics and this is one - could Tsu-zey or anyone else please recommend a *type* of wine for this?? I don't even know whether to lean towards red or white!!!!!!! <where's that dang embarrassed emoticon I need too often?>

(Or maybe I need to start just googling huh?) :lol::o

Sorry, you wrote in too late for me to reply! We were out ... I HAD to see the movie about Jane Austen (what a surprise!) ... it was very good. It told where the character Darcy came from ... as Bev already knows, I'm married to my own Mr. Darcy.

Usually, white food = white wine, dark food = red wine. Personally, I don't follow stupid rules like that as I much prefer red wine and drink things like shiraz with fish. :P

Tell us how dinner went!

I got confused at the intersection of chicken-->white, and red sauce seems like red. Got 2 cabernets to compare and the cheaper one won!

Shiraz? NOW who's making up words!! :lol:

(Ok I've heard it said before but don't get how a new type of wine appears. New blend or old one suddenly popular?)

Tell us how dinner went!

Dinner? Well it was my 1st mozzarella in 3 yrs min., so I might rave about it melted over wool. (Or even some untoasted store-bought gluten-free brickbread)

It was a setup <_< , at a friend's house tho he's out of town for baseball broadcast. His wife, Linda & I have same birthday! Linda kinda came and went, and I'd met Karen before a couple times yrs ago. Fun but no chemistry.

Sounds like la dolce vita in dingoland!

Can Annie work a camera yet? That could be a good avatar. :)

love the new kitty pics on your avatar. Did you bring them home yet?

Jestgar Rising Star

Kitties are home!!

The little girl (little only relative to her brother) decided pretty quick that this was gonna be okay and she woke me up every half hour so I could pet her.

This morning the young prince was draped over the back of the sofa. He's still sleeping in the closet, but I think he'll be fine.

From the folks

A man and his wife were celebrating 50 years together. Their

three kids, all very successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their

honor.

'Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad,' gushed son number one ... 'Sorry

I'm running late. I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient, you

know how it is, and didn't have time to get you a gift.'

'Not to worry,' said the father. 'The important thing is that

we're all together today.'

Son number two arrived and announced, 'You and Mom look great,

Dad. I just flew in from Los Angeles between depositions and didn't

have

time to shop for you.'

'It's nothing,' said the father, 'We're glad you were able to come.'

Just then the daughter arrived, 'Hello and happy anniversary! I'm

sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town and I was really busy

packing

so I didn't have time to get you anything.'

After they had finished dessert, the father said, 'There's

something your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You

see, we were very poor. Despite this, we were able to send each of you to

college. Throughout the years your mother and I knew that we loved each

other very much, but we just never found the time to get married.' The

three

children gasped and all said, 'You mean we're bastards?'

'Yep,' said the father. 'And cheap ones too.'

      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.
