The wormery is an alternative to a compost heap. great for small gardens as it's compact and the worms process very efficiently. Great also for small boys who love the fact that we are recycling our veggie and fruit peelings into worm wee and poo! :P Great also for worms, who now have a longer life expectancy as aforementioned small boy preserves them for the wormery rather than stretching any he finds to see how long they'll grow :ph34r:

We made the wormery ourselves (can't afford to buy one). here's the instructions for anyone interested:

Hey Lisa, you can create a wormery for YOUR garden. Then you will have some handy. When you want to eat worms - he he. :lol::blink::) Hugs

Hey everyone, I am not being mean as Lisa and I have been emailing each other. She knows I am joking.

Lisa Mentor

Very well, I shall have one. :P It would be good to have some on hand.

Armetta:

I noticed that you have a hiatal hernia, me too (large one). Have you ever thought about getting fixed? I know that we share some stomach problems. Just something I'm thinking about.

And about worms, if they are so good breaking down compost, why shouldn't we eat them....might help with celiac symptoms :P:P Nah, just a passing thought. :ph34r:

The question is, are you sure those are gluten-free worms?

MY hernia does not bother me all the time. But, the one position I cannot do is watching TV from a semi sitting position in bed. I did think about having it fixed as it has gotten worse since I lost all that weight before diagnosis. Then when my food allergies went through the roof, I decided no way am I having any operation (if I have a choice) that makes me a patient in the hospital. But, if yours is that large, then I think you should seriously consider having it done. Make an appointment with the hospital dieticition and see what she says about feeding you. In our hospitals in this area they all speak Spanish and can't feed the diabetics safely, let alone me :blink::lol::ph34r:

Hi Rusla! Have not seen you for awhile. Has the beautiful Godess been at her cauldron. And NO people, I am not being nasty. Rusla knows I am kidding as I have nothing but respect for her religion. As you can see Rusla, that I am paranoid about joking on this forum. But, really, how have you been? Have I just missed the threads you have been on?

Mommagoose, sending some love out to ya!! Isn't it sad that things have gotten to the point where posting is stressful in itself. Let's laugh more, love more, and all get worm hotels, or what ever they are called. (I really want one of those, btw) :lol::lol:

Mommagoose, you are loved and valued :lol:

Hey there, it looks like you've been having a bad hair day...lol. Yes, I have been eating children perhaps that is why I have an extreme kidney infection. I have also been looking for some place to move to which is difficult when there is nothing to move to. I also had some stories to get out and I am lagging behind in my book which has to be done for Feb 28, So, I was just on a hiatus then, I come back and find lots of us oldies are missing. Perhaps they are just on hiatus.

Rusla- It's REALLY good to see you! Yes, the board has been awkward lately. But this thread is full of love!!!!! Do you have any good ways to celebrate Samhain? I want to do something to honor the earth.

STOP EATING CHILDREN- it's very very bad. Although, it is a Modest Proposal :lol::lol:

You are right, eating children is like eating gluten. All that screaming inside of my stomach and their little claws pinching me hurts. It is great to see you again, actually great to see all of you again.

We as we celebrate the end of the year and our ancestors celebrate the eath. You can always do what I do, I do it for Yule also I leave seeds for the birds, stuff for the squirrels and on the hill I get on my vinyl gloves and leave out bread for the deers etc.

Due to probably weather and legal restrictions, I will dance naked in my house.

Alrighty, how many did I offend with that let me know if I didn't I will try harder next time.

I'll try harder....we want to have a bonfire in the back yard and dance naked. Can you get arrested for public nudity on private property? :P (I'm sure you can in America!)

That's cool... I just put out bird feeders and have been watching this group of 3 squirrels goof around on the old swingset that the previous owner left. They are such a hoot!

Yes, it has, I generally ignore the garbage ... I've gotten good at it so it's not unusual for me to seem ignorant of it (online and in "real" life!).

I don't think you can ... there was a couple who lived on a busy road who used to sunbathe naked on the front porch roof. The city tried and tried, but couldn't make them get dressed!! But, if you have neighborhood covenants, I'm sure they can get you through those!!

I have a friend who when her children act up says, "I can see why animals eat their young."

They are especially good bbq'd. The ones that are tougher would have to be marinated and some remind me of fishes so, those get cooked in lemon garlic butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Why pay more for your meat.

Hey Rusla, you forgot you are a Goddess, NOT a black witch. You are too funny and nope you have certainly not offended me - just have me laughing.

And I don't think I want to honor the earth by dancing naked in my home. I would barf with the image of everything bouncing and swaying to the music.

Rusla Enthusiast

Actually witches are grey and I have the roots to prove it so, as a witch you must learn to work both sides when you need to. Now all of us women are Goddesses.

Ba ha ha ha ha......yes, my interesting thighs (hubby came up with that phrase and has never lived it down) would be quite a site. But I certainly wouldn't have to worry about black eyes. Do they make bras in negative sizes? THANK GOD FOR THE WONDER BRA! It's a WONDER they make one small enough for me. :P

Rusla- have you tried them roasted? They are quite tasty with some seasoning. :ph34r: Just make sure they're gluten free. And organic. And steroid free. and free range. And grass fed (or at least ice cream fed). And antibiotic free. Uhmm....did I miss anything?

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.
    • englishbunny
      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
    • englishbunny
      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
