Hold onto your hats! Here goes . . . .

I love that I have met some of the greatest people I know on this forum, and that they have become my friends.

I love that those friends are so supportive, so kind, so thoughtful, and that when they say they know what I'm going through, they REALLY know what I'm going through

I love my husband -- he is the most amazing man. He is the greatest.

I love my kids -- and my future son-in-law. They are loving, supportive (especially my son) and just as goofy as me.

I love my Mom & Dad -- they're just the greatest. I love it that they care enough about me to cry when they see me walk like I do.

I love my sister -- she knows me like no one else does. She also knows how to manipulate my kids better than anybody and she gets them to do the things I can't!!!!!!! :lol:

I love my brother-in-law -- when he, my husband, my son, my dad and now my future son-in-law get together, I laugh until my stomach hurts.

I love my nephews -- they are cute and funny and silly and SOOOOO loving.

I love the way my oldest nephew (age 10) gives hugs -- he gives full-out hugs that let you know he really loves you.

I love my grandmother -- she's 100 years old, and she still goes to the Bingo 3 nights a week, and goes to the gambling boat once a week and stays out until 4 or 5 in the morning!

I love my little Destiny -- she is the greatest little laid-back poodle!

I love our bigger dog Lucky -- he is REALLY protective of me.

I love my flower gardens. They are beautiful and have already started attracting the most beautiful butterflies.

I love that I have so much support navigating my new life.

I love that I can write about things that I love now. Thank you all.

Love, Lynne

I love it when I can wake up in the morning and know that I have another day with my wife and children. Another day to go to work, to breath in the Spring air, another day to .... live!!!

I truly thought I was going to die last year. Many of my colleagues, friends and family felt this way as well. Heck, I was actually starting to prepare for it to happen...but that's another story for another thread.

I stumbled upon the gluten free diet...in fact my wife suggested it, completely out of nowhere, and it worked! So, I also love the gluten free diet!!!!!!!!!1

I love that I'm now healthy enough to go out golfing with my hubby and this beautiful spring day.

I love it when we both have a good game, but can laugh at ourselves when we don't.

I love it when someone else loves to cook, and I don't have too :lol: Any of you cooks want to move close to me????

I love that all the spring birds are back and singing their beautiful songs.

I love when Sheba chases a jay and it sits on the post and scolds her.

I love that we made supper early this morning and put it in the crock pot before we went golfing :P

Yup......... I think that I really love life too! :rolleyes:

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
