every year, our neighborhood has the Christmas home walking tour (it's going to be beautiful here this weekend, so, should be good!)  and this year i am on the b.o.d. of the neighborhood organization.  NOW.  i don't mind selling tickets or walking around, but they have a hospitality house at the end of the tour and they have people making (delicious) Christmas cookies.  i was planning on being out of town, maybe, because our daughter is ready to give birth to our grandson - but, no, they scheduled her next week for a c-section.  now i will be home (and can't hide, because these people are all my neighbors lolz) so i am going to end up doing some thing to help with the tour.  also, there is a dinner (potluck, so, no eating anything there) that i'm expected to attend.  ok, ok, ok, i'm ok.  but i can't stop thinking about the dad gum cookie house!!!!  

 

I WANT COOKIES.  I WANT TO NOT MAKE COOKIES.  I WANT TO EAT COOKIES.  I WANT TO TRY EVERY KIND OF COOKIE WITHOUT FINGERPRINTING EVERY SINGLE ONE.  AUGGGHHHHHH!!!   

 

i seriously can't believe i'm losing it over cookies.  i can just see them, all pretty and nutty and completely poisonous...........   :angry:

Sounds like torture! I'd probably end up crying. I love all things baked.

LOL!  :lol:  :D   Ooooh! I like you!

 

Cookies cookies everywhere and nary a crumb to eat. :(  Bring yourself a thermos of Balieys with a bit of flavoured coffee or extra creamy hot chocolate - it might make you feel better, and if you drink enough you won't care anyways.  :)

Excellent suggestion!

Or stand around the cookie table, and look at people like they are really stupid and ask " you still eat this s$#&?"

While sipping on the Baileys and munching a delicious gluten-free cookie you brought with you.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
