WHEW!  I was nervous there for a minute.  Just thinking about a kabana boy clown gives me the shivers (and not in a good way).  tiritando.gif

This bugged me all last night. How the heck did I spell cabana incorrectly yesterday???

We've already plotted kidnapping of our cabana boys, why not add plotting murder on a public forum to our list of nefarious plans?

Hi to Sylvia -- those Lemonies are great and so easy....may have to add them into the graduation celebration this weekend.

 

However, today is Sis's Birthday so we have Paula Dean's Simply Delicious Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Butter Creamcheese Frosting -- and I plan on having a tea party tomorrow morning with the grand girlie -- one of the two celebrations I will have a slice of this yummy CAKE!!!  Forgo wine and other HHs for a piece of cake -- hell ya :)

 

IH....send a few of those fresh strawberries on one of our supersonic carrier pigeons please --- doh -- I think I'm a bit loopy from playing with small children in the sunshine today.

 

Sis also likes Pork Chops -- so tonight Pork Chops and Applesauce -- possibly Mac and Cheese too -- I did make a salad she liked the other day so maybe salad instead of pasta -- more room for CAKE ;)

aw, Ski...nothin' like a tea party with wee ones. enjoy! x

So I made my cupcakes today. From a migraine haze because... idk maybe I'm a masochist or something. Or maybe I just really wanted cupcakes. I overfilled my tins so they overflowed a little and dimpled in the middle. It made a dozen cupcakes and 24 minis. The minis came out perfect. They are really, really good. I didn't think before I started that I have no cream cheese in the house to make frosting with so they are getting regular buttercream. :( I'll get it right next time.

 

I'm just flopping burgers on the grill tonight. Me and my migraine are not doing any real cooking. I'm sure I'll manage some fries and maybe some green beans or something. But other than that meh. I'm hoping to have enough of a brain to care tomorrow.

I can only ice pack the back of neck, take mega-advil,  lie down and stay in a quiet dark room when I have a migraine. And cry.

because those things suck and of all the pain I have, I can take it like a warrior, but I cannot  take pain in the head!! That one just breaks me down...argh.... Hope you feel better soon xx

I have only had a few migraines and they are not fun!!! I do have a question, I know being Celiac does mean no beer unless special beer, but I understand wine or other alcohol is ok, I will have a beer once in a while "Miller Light" Guess thats out now!! So when I do decide to have a bit of something I don't want it to be strong or alot of calories , hard stuff I cannot drink. Wine maby but wine has alot of alcohol in it. Is there a wine with not so much alcohol in it? Or maby a wine cooler? Not sure if those are safe!! Any suggestions? Sometimes we go out with friends also and I get a couple beers. SO what can I drink now? Hmmmmm 

Sorry this isn't for dinner, unless I drink it for dinner!! Hahaha not likely tho .... 

For dinner I am going to make hubby some left over spaghetti :) Yes it will be glutenized!! He can eat the stuff!! I am still eating gluten till my next appt. not that much tho!! I am having a hard time eating gluten, just the thought ughhhhhh I don't want to!!!!! !!!! maby I will just drink a few beers!! Lol 

GottaSki Mentor

How about wine spritzer? Fortunately gluten-free beers are becoming popular and therefore more and better types are hitting the market -- when you are out ask your server....they aren't always listed on the menu!

All my other suggestions would involve more alcohol rather than less ;)

kareng Grand Master

Wine coolers are usually a malt ( barley) based beverage. A lot of places have hard ciders. I have never seen one with gluten and most even say gluten-free on them.

If you want a couple of drinks, you could order something like a shot of rum and a diet or regular coke with some lime. Pour half you rum in your first Coke and half in the second. I know some people pour white wine over ice to make it last longer.

I something in diet pop makes me sick ,I think it is Aspartame, Not sure!  So it cannot be diet soda. My husband likes his "Spiced Rum" Blek!! But maby a white wine over ice is a better idea ...

The place we go to is just a lil family run place , that we have gone to for years!! 

What is a wine spritzer? W8 I have google I can as him!

Funny when I go see my Dr. I tell him if you cannot give me answers, you know I can go home and ask Dr. Google!! He laughs at me!! But I told him don't laugh at me because I will go home and look it up!!

I once spent a weekend away at a resort long ago when I still drank. We had to walk through the bar to get to the dining area for breakfast which I'm sure was no accident. I saw as we walked by that the special for the day was screwdrivers, vodka and orange juice, so I thought what the hell I'll have one! I was on vacation and orange juice is a breakfast drink. That makes screwdrivers a breakfast drink right?

GottaSki Mentor

That makes screwdrivers a breakfast drink right?

 

Indeed -- Mimosas Screwdrivers and Bloody Marys are all breakfast beverages :)

 

So last few nights have been a bit wonky.....so I'll just start with tonight...

 

Ribs!!!  with a bit of bbq chicken for the non-pork eaters.

 

Pineapple

 

Broccoli

 

and Lemonies for dessert :)

Adalaide Mentor

Since we have a lot of roasts in our freezer I have another out and am hoping it is ready to cook for tonight. We did baked lemon pepper chicken with mashed taters and gravy and garlic green beans last night. And of course some red velvet cupcakes for dessert. :D At any rate, roast or no roast, I know whats for dessert again!

ALCOHOL????  

 

i leave you people alone for ONE DAY and y'all fall off the edge  :lol: wine spritzer, huh?  maybe i'll try that....

 

anyways, yesterday i took the kids to the library for their summer reading thingy  - they had a guy playing guitar and singing the silliest songs - then they all danced the gangdam style dance - hilarious.  and freeeeeeeee!!!  then i had a billymergency (no e.r. involved this time unless you count the mechanic's shop) had to drive to knox vegas to pick him up (i tell him:  i'm no litterbug; i always pick up my trash LOL love my trashy man)  then on to domino's to pick up pizza for vacation bible school - we had 26 kids!!  plus helpers, i bet we had 50-60 people there - good thing i over-estimated (optimistically estimated :))  came home and fried up swordfish cadiz (marinated, then cornstarched and fried)  still would like to figure out a good dipping sauce for those.. working on it.....

 

tonight, i'm making the crumb-crushers hotdogs and chips.  maybe a salad.  i think chef's salad for me :)

Love the library summer reading programs...took the grands by a beautiful library north county coastal I had never been too on Tuesday -- had a blast -- but did notice that the Summer Reading Program here now only requires 5 books be read before a treat is given -- when the boys were doing it just a decade ago they needed to read TEN books -- and the treats were bookmarks, pencils, fun pencil toppers and stickers....now the treats are candy????  Must run up to my neighborhood library and see if these crappy treats are city wide!!!!  Oh boy...I didn't start off grumpy -- better go float for a bit...been running around taking care of youngest's Senior Class Brunch -- will float and then get back to whatever else isn't done ;)

Adalaide Mentor

I don't remember any summer reading programs, but then again I didn't spend a lot of time hanging out in town in the summer either. We were farmers and didn't have time for that sort of nonsense. I did read though, a lot. Basically if I had free time you could either catch me at my Grammy's house at the piano or with a book in my hands. The only reading program I remember at all as a kid was the one we did in school which was Book It, the PIzza Hut one. I got way more pizza than my brother.  :D As a teen I read several novels a month, Shakespeare for fun, Moby Dick on purpose (which I regret if I'm going to be completely honest) and preferred the library over any other place to hang out. By then I lived in town but didn't participate in the teen summer reading programs because I thought a lot of the books they were suggesting were kinda stupid. 

 

I still read today. I will literally not leave my house without a book. What if my Jeep breaks down and I have to wait for a tow or something? I'd hate to have that happen and not have a book, it would be beyond tragic. It probably drives my husband mad. I have an ereader that I use for classic lit that I can get for free, I don't see the point in paying for a hard copy of a free book. But mostly I buy books by my favorite authors and read them until they are beyond being readable any more. I have a favorite trilogy I read at least once a year that I'm on again now and it makes my husband crazy that there are parts where I still sob like I've just lost my best friend. I've already read the books at least ten times, but I keep giving them away and having to buy new ones.  :lol: I think next on my list is Crime and Punishment, which is my favorite classic novel ever. Some people think I'm nuts but I find the tale to be absolutely riveting. (I'd also need a gun to my head to read Jane Austin. *shrug*)

yah, my grandson got a toy car and he was a 'nudge' - wouldn't sit by the other kids, wouldn't participate, wouldn't dance - at then end of it they had a drawing and he happened to win.  he didn't do jack to earn it and now when he goes back he's gonna be mad when he doesn't win every time....   yay.....  

 

it is a 'carnegie' library - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library

 

addie, you sound just like my sister.  she now has a kindle and i make fun of her when the battery goes dead - she loves it so much i told her to marry it.  she travels 750 miles to my house to read on my couch lolz - she's a mess :)

Hahaha we could be best friends! You know, if we could get our noses out of books long enough to have a conversation. I took a bus trip to PA like 4 or 5 years ago and took like 3 or 4 novels with me. I thought it would be fine, we left on a Wed morning and were supposed to get there Sat afternoon. Turns out we got there late on Fri night and I was long since out of books! I can't keep my ereader charged at all, they need to sell those things with an alternate battery for like $100 more. People would pay good money for that. 

 

And he'll get over not getting something next time. Not getting anything for not participating will be good for him, maybe he'll be encouraged to care the next time. I was always "harsh" like that to my kids. The way some people pamper and coddle kids drives me up a wall. My brother didn't read a lot, so he didn't get rewarded and he turned out just fine.

"who's the meanest mother????"

 

"YOU ARE"

 

"that's right.  don't you forget it."

 

i still get mothers day cards addressed to 'the meanest mother in the whole world.'     and they all turned out good.  (OR ELSE!)   :ph34r:   i used to set them up to teach them lessons.  ie:  my youngest had 'sticky fingers' for a minute - until she swiped her own zoo trip $ and secretly spent it on ice cream.  so, she stayed home from the zoo and never swiped anything ever again.  "harsh"   ;)

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase at diagnosis. Once established on a gluten free diet, the gut is able to heal and lactose digestion returns to normal. Lactose intolerance is therefore usually temporary." So if this helps your daughter, this doesn't mean you have to give up lactose forever, especially as dairy is such a good source of calcium for growing kids.   Bear in mind you should be able to reintroduce it. As for fatigue, this can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies,such as iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done.  If your daughter is deficient in these, it is vital you address the deficiencies, and get the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find it in like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, just to site two examples. This might help:  
    • jnstefan
      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!
    • thejayland10
      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?
