I was talking to DH on the phone while I was at work, and he had just gotten the mail, and there was a package from Overstock.com. To my knowledge, I've never ordered anything from there. He asked if there was any way I could have accidentally ordered what appeared to be a book...

(yeah, I accidentially entered my billing, shipping, and credit card info :rolleyes: )

So he opens the package and it's "gluten free baking" by Rebecca Reilly. So maybe I did order it on accident? :huh: The brain fog is a bear sometimes, but sheesh. There was no billing information or anything on the packing slip, just my name and address.

My first thought that it was either my mom or MIL, since they know I love baking. I called my mom and it wasn't her, so I called customer service and wouldn't you know...

...It was from my college roomate! I was shocked, especially since I just kind of mentioned the gluten-free thing in passing and anything else she got from my livejournal. I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding, so I thought it had something to do with that...

...no, she said she was just looking around overstock.com the other day and when she ran across this book she decided to get it for me :wub:

My friends are my angels :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
