Hey Peter -- you there? It seems we need another edit...we need a link to this thread at the end of the ORIGINAL Silly Pages.

Here is what I hope will really be the last post over there. Scott has applied a fix for long topics, but I don't want to push our luck. This is the third time that I have tinkered with it since Scott closed it. Fingers crossed. :o

I ate my soup... cooked it for about 3.5 hours this time and the meat was... still kinda chewy.... I give up <_< I also have a belly ache... but i blame it on my sickness....

I want cold weather, this 60s buisness in late november is not good for my area.... we should have collected snow by now.... and killed off all of the wasps....

I'm nearly done on my paper, yay! 7 out of 8 pages done....

Welp, only one baby. I think the other eggs are toast as she is taking the wee fuzzball out for long walks around the pen and the other eggs are cold. The best hatch I got was by locking her in the cage with her own food and water, so I suppose I may do that if I ever really want more demanding balls of fluff.

Had a fab Tgiving. Mom's gluten-free, dairy free, egg free pumpkin pie, bro's amazing gluten-free, df, ef rolls, and my amazing gluten-free,df,ef stuffing.

Alright guys, this is the weirdest cold thing i've ever had i think. No coughing, clogged head, runny nose, mild fever, and somewhat achey.... I've had it for 4 days so far and its... grrr... at least its not messing with my balance. Lots of steamy showers, water, honey, and next to no sleep (downside of being a college student).

I hope it doesn't turn into something serious (like chicken pox.... pnemonia..... something).... the last three weeks of a semester are... a figurative.... h*** in a sense... with finals, massive papers, etc.

Though i got a paper back from one of my history courses (upper level) and got a B+ on it (made me happy :lol: ).

well, egg yoke free. Bro can eat egg whites

BRM piecrust recipe:

http://www.bobsredmi...il.php?rid=1126

used Nucoa (sp?) for the margarine, and almond milk for the milk

don't bake the crust

Libbey's canned pumpkin recipe:

http://www.verybestb...Pie/detail.aspx

used eggbeaters (which are basically egg whites with some stuff https://www.eggbeaters.com/products/ )

used an extra 1/2 egg for two pies, so maybe 4 egg whites if you don't want to use the mix

coconut cream (thicker than coconut milk)

-----1 14 oz can coconut cream

----------about 8 ounces of almond milk (I was trying to thin it to the consistency of evaporated milk)

if you use regular coconut milk (which we have in the past) just use it straight

I also added a shot of nutmeg, because I like nutmeg

I think we ended up cooking it about 10 extra minutes. Crust got a little dark, but the middle wasn't jiggly.

Served with coconut vanilla ice cream

Nucoa may be regional (http://www.vrg.org/blog/2010/04/29/nucoa-margarine-still-an-all-vegetable-product-despite-label-change/) but I imagine your normal butter substitute would work just as well.

Thats similar to what its like. I'll feel good for part of the day, then it unleashes itself. :blink: I refuse to take anything because my fever isn't very high (only 100+ is when i take something for that) and i'm not coughing up a lung. Sooooo..... :ph34r:

Thanks. I don't know if she even knows which part of the egg she can or cannot eat. This also answers my other SIL question she wanted me to ask about coconut/almond milk in the pie.

Thanks. And congrats on the new feather child!

We have all had something like that at our house. Its like your body is fighting it off, but can't stop it completely. Sleep is probably the best help for it so try to nap or get to bed.

Good job on the B+

shadowicewolf Proficient

what is this sleep you speak of? Last night i got four hours... ugh...

Today has been a somewhat bad day. Started off with a panic that my mail account had been locked (only to find out i put my name and password for my school email account into it instead of the right one, and somehow activated another mail account :blink: nothin will come out of it of course but it caused a few minutes of panic).

Then, about an hour later, i found out from my current history professor that one of my favorite history professors passed away last week. In between my break for classes i broke down crying in a empty classroom. I had this professor for two semesters (two classes) and she was a very good person. I had hoped to take more of her classes this semester but she canceled them (now i know why). I'm hoping my University will do something for her passing because she was a senior professor there (taught there for 22 years).

Honestly, i'm not going to lie, i feel like ****. I had a samwich and some chedder cheese for lunch, just to get something in me. I've still got two more classes to go (two... 2.5 hour ones).

Just seems a bit wrong posting on page 2 of this thread... maybe I should disappear for a while again till the thread has time to grow...

Don't you dare!!!! It will really seem like the end of the world! Will have enough trouble when Lost Tales of Power is complete and a new series begins. When did Tickle Me Elbow begin.I think it was there when Queen Kareeng invited me along.

congrats on paper - YAY. My nose has been running for a month. Saw ENT today and of course it's partially the remnants of pneumonia that hospitalized me and partially my breaking cardinal rule and using big bad Afrin a week ago.

And did I hear we got a bunny baby? Congrats and much love. Mine's turning 21 in February :ph34r: .

thanks :)

I found out from another history professor of mine that the vice chancellor of my school maybe doing a memorial for my late professor. I'm planning on attending if i can. She helped me so much and i figured it would only be a good thing for me to attend.

I'll be out of sorts for the next few days, no doubt. Times like these are when i really appreciate this forum.

Ugh, I love you cereal for getting this started (it should be noted that i have no issues with milk or ceral, when i get sick like this generally my throat and ears itch). Its decreased to mostly my ears but still <_<

      Thank you Trents! For the most part I have cut out Dairy as I drink Silk almond milk daily as an alternative!  I did have some corn Chex this morning with almond milk as that cereal is supposed to be fortified with vitamins and also gluten free so I hope that's ok! The only dairy I really have is a daily plain Yogurt which is lactose free and I only do that for the natural pre-pro biotics. Tried a slice of gluten free bread this morning......it was so so. I'll probably have another piece after my workout with some egg whites and avocado on top! Boy this stuff is hard, and I really want to try to do everything right because I have a little 2 year old girl to live for!  I also started taking Align Probiotics the day after my colonoscopy and I plan on only doing that for 30 days... I figure it can't hurt...

      Welcome to the forum, @Rhenriksen! A few thoughts. First, learning to eat truly gluten free is a real learning curve for most people because of all the ways gluten is hidden in the food supply that you would never expect and because of cross contamination. If you are still eating out you are almost guaranteed to be getting glutened through cross contamination. You may order gluten free food items but by the time they grill them and cook them and handle them with the same equipment that was used for wheated foods, they will pickup some gluten. Gluten can also be unexpectedly found in medications and oral hygiene products. Second, most celiacs develop secondary intolerances to non gluten foods. The two most common offenders are dairy and oats. But soy, corn and egg intolerances are also common. And then there are strange ingredients that are added to most gluten free prepackaged foods like "xanthan gum" and "gar gum" that are hard to digest polysaccharides used to improve texture. One small study found that 50% of celiacs are intolerant to the dairy protein "casein". Almost 10% of celiacs cross react to the protein "avenin" found in oats (even gluten free oats). So, you might consider cutting out some of these foods that commonly found as secondary intolerances. I would start with dairy and oats. Add them back in if they prove not to be the problem. Sometimes these secondary intolerances dissipate over time as healing of the small bowel villous atrophy progresses. Third, other bowel diseases such as Crohn's and IBS and colitis are more common in the celiac population than in the general population. So, you may have more than one thing going on. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster.

      In 2023 I had a colonoscopy for blood in stool. Turns out that it was internal hemorrhoids but at the same time they found something near the terminal Ileum and took a biopsy of it. Pathology report came back as lymphocytic colitis. I was not having chronic diarrhea or other types of common symptoms so no treatment was necessary. Shortly after I started having excessive gas all the time, and diet didn't change anything, I've had floating stools forever and rarely does a stool sink. My stools alternate from cow patty like to constipation but have been more on the constipation side even though I go every day or 2. Last week I found out that my B12 was at 275 (3 years ago it was at 695). My folate was good. Iron/iron binding Saturation was good, ferretin good but in low end and same with vitamin D. I eat pretty clean and I've also been loosing weight (190 to 175 in about 2 months). I sometimes have mild discomfort in my lower right abdomen which to me coincided with the ileum part of the intestine (where b12 is absorbed and where malabsorption occurs)  a few month ago I tested positive for celiac on a blood panel. I wasn't extremely high, only twice the limit.  last week I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done with random biopsies of each. I ate gluten equivalent to 1 slice of bread for 2 weeks prior to this exam.  I met with my primary yesterday to tell him that I retested my b12 and it went up to 375 (100 points) naturally in a week, but I was also going to start B12 sublingual daily to help. It was at this time that he said had my pathology report (I haven't seen it yet in MyChart Sutter and I haven't heard back from my GI) was conclusive of celiac disease from a biopsy taken in the deudondrum and that I had mild reactive gastrophy in the Antrum. Ironically, he said multi biopsies were taken of the colon as well as in the first part of the ileum and that no evidence of Microscopic Colitis was found. Although, that part is good news, a lot of my research and symptoms were leading me to Chrons Disease. I feel that my small intestine (mostly the Ileum) is compromised and I'm not sure how much celiac plays a role in that. I know that scopes can only go so far each way. Should I request or ask for video capsule endoscopy or MRI (I think it's called MRE) on the small intestine, or is that getting too crazy!?? prior to loading up on gluten for 2 weeks, I went gluten free for 3 months after the serum test and felt ZERO changes, still gassy everyday and floating stools all the time. Any advise, support or thoughts are greatly appreciated !

      I just felt more poorly all of the time.  I did notice that on Sundays when we usually had pancakes for breakfast I felt worse but my mom blamed the eggs and milk so we switched to soy and quit using eggs.  (this was over 60 years ago).  The symptoms changed some, but I still didn't feel very good and the constipation diarrhea cycle didn't change much either.  No doctor ever suggested wheat issues and I had never heard of it.  After the head/neck cancer chemo and radiation 30 years ago, the RA like trouble with painful joints and entire area of my body inflamed to the touch, a doctor decided I had fibromyalgia and prescribed vicodin.  That was the only pain-killer that ever worked and allowed me to go to work again.  After my grandchilds diagnosis, I looked into celiac and wondered what-if?  I asked my doctor and he suggested I try eliminating all wheat for a few weeks.  Within 10 weeks my fibro was gone.  I still had the constipation issues.  And then they discovered I had Hashimoto's from the radiation.  Only on this website have I discovered there's an issue with it and celiac.  I'd like to know more about what this issue is. I'd also like to know more about how to clear this damned swollen joint problem so I can get on with living.

      Hi thank you so much for your input. It’s been very difficult to navigate this whole Celiac thing with everything that’s happened. What you said makes sense. I  have a better understanding of how my doctors NP was able to give me a diagnosis.  Yes I agree that staying gluten-free is best, I’ve been doing some research and it seems like DQ 2.5 homozygous does make folks extra sensitive to gluten even without a celiac diagnosis. My new gastroenterologist put me in touch with a nutritionist but I’ll have to inquire if they specialize in Celiac. Appreciate the advice 🙏🏼
