Loving My Family

We recently moved and various family members are due to visit this summer.  The first group was just   here for over a week, my adopted daughter and her children (9, 15, 17, 18).  We provided all the food and the only problem was there was the expense of all the g.f. bread they consumed!  I did buy separate mayo & mustard for them as we had regular hot dog buns one evening and no one had a problem with keeping the buns outside by the campfire ring. (G.F. hot dog buns for teenage boys with hollow legs are waaaay to expensive)     Next morning the kids were making tuna sandwiches for our picnic lunch when the oldest remembered that they couldn't use the "group" mayo for my tuna.  All four kids came to a halt as they pondered over the dilemma.  What an awesome group of kids.  They dashed for a fresh can of tuna, my special mayo and fresh fork for my fixings!   They wrote my name on the baggie so there would be no mistakes.  Even the 9 yr old "got" it.    I love my family!!!  Thanks for letting me brag a bit.

I love my family, too. My son made me my favorite cake for Mother's Day, coconut, all from scratch and gluten free. They respect my gluten free table in the kitchen, but I look with envy on families that maintain a completely gluten free kitchen for their loved ones and plan meals for them. That is not happening here! Oh well, I love them anyway!

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
