I love Spam. Thanks, I was always going to look up if it was gluten free!

I slice it, fry it in butter, sprinkle it with a little brown sugar and top with pineapple. Think we'll have spam this week.

I am embarassed to admit, but I kinda like it too, although I don't eat it due to sodium and weight issues . . . but wow, for others, what an easy thing to pack for travel or pick up while on the road. As memory serves, a lot of gas stations carry Spam in the grocery section . . . or at least they used to carry it. This will probably help a lot of folks cope.

Many years ago, there was a snow emergency here in PA, and we could not leave our homes. As it worked out, I was visiting a friend at her parent's house, and her parents were restaurant warriors, preferring never to cook if they could avoid it. After two days, we ate through the small amount of food in the house, and we were left with Spam. It was purchased sometime in the last decade, though no one could remember when. We cut it up, fried it, and that was dinner. Thank God they opened up the roads the next day. Still, Spam got us through, and I don't remember it tasting that bad, either!

My mom used to slice it and fry it in butter and we would eat it on toast. For some reason that sounds good. Now if I could find some gluten free bread to toast that tasted good. On a side note Underwood Deviled ham spread is gluten free too. Here is a link to B&G Foods, Inc. products that are gluten free including the deviled ham.

Spam is absolutely disgusting when you examine it's contents but it is still the food of the Gods. Spam and gluten free beer are proof that God exists and that he wants us to be happy.

All this Spam talk (the edible kind :D ) really brings back memories. My dad used to fry it up with eggs on the weekend once in a while.

What is funny is that the same folks that turn their nose up at SPAM, eat canned soups, chili, tuna, prepared frozen and box meals, all full of chemicals, preservatives and mystery ingredients. Not to mention Fast Food....

I say always keep a Can o' Spam in the cabinet for emergency's along with a big block of Velveeta Cheese (America's favorite processed cheese "food"). The Pair makes a helluva Party Platter for those impromptu guests during the holidays. Always keep those little toothpicks with the curly plastic cellophane to decorate it up!

FYI Spam is available in a low sodium version....

"Canned soups, chili, tuna" . . . well said!

"little toothpicks with the curly plastic cellophane" . . . of course, dahlink! What else would even come close to making the perfect snack statement?

Oh my gosh, in addition to Spam, Velveeta is gluten free, too? ALL VARIATIES? (Oh please tell me yes!) Talk about processed-food-heaven!

Hold onto my hips, here I come. Whooo-hooo!

The next time I need a guilty pleasure, I sure know where I'm going. :)

PS: May I please have some fries with that?

We can laugh all we want.

But, if you put Velveeta Dips (keep them hot) out a party, especially a football party, It is always the first to go. Highbrow Types always ask "what is your recipe"? :D

Yes!

AND if you tell them that your "secret recipe" is made from some incredibly expensive, exclusive cheese, then they start to salivate . . . and if, after that, you just keep your mouth shut just long enough, they throw money at you for the recipe.

Catch it and run for the goal line!

As I've always said, if peanut butter cost $100 an ounce, everyone would know it is the greatest food in the world.

Put those sausage balls out on your best silver platter, and use your finest linen napkins and wait til they ask "What ARE these?"

Pause, and say "Coon Balls". They will look at you with a blank stare, then add "You know, Racoon Balls"... You won't remember when you had such a good time. Of course, they have already eaten about 7 or 8 of them.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By Gill.brittany8 · Posted

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ
