I know this has nothing to do with Coeliac disease but as a British contributor to this forum I hope you don't mind if I mark the passing of the Queen.   A very sad day.

I found this sweet image on the internet, reminding me of the video she made with Paddington The Bear to mark her Platinum Jubilee only three months ago.   I wanted to post that video but it won't let me, but if you haven't seen it, it is on youtube.   It is entitled "Ma’amalade sandwich Your Majesty?"

Yes, as very sad day indeed! What an amazing reign, and life!! 96, that's amazing!

King Charles has some big shoes to fill, and he seems to have grown up quite a lot since his days with Princess Dianna. I hope he can live up to his new role!

Condolences, @cristiana.  

Wonderful video!  I always wondered what she carried in her purse.  She will be greatly missed.

Thank you both.

What the Queen actually carried in her handbag was hotly debated!   That was a real coup, trust Paddington the Bear to find out!  I am not sure if it was a gluten free sandwich, though...

She was so loved, and even people who didn't think themselves as Royalists are saying how surprised they are at how upset they find themselves at her passing.   

My own family, like so many others in this country, had her as a guest every Christmas - in a manner of speaking - when everything stopped at 3pm on Christmas Day for the annual Christmas "Queen's Speech" on TV.   She was on TV all the time, visiting hospitals, welcoming Heads of State, etc and was the patron of so many charities. 

It feels very disorientating that someone who has been there for seventy years has gone.

So very sorry for your loss.  She was so graceful and gracious. A true example of service in action. May she rest in peace reunited with the love of her life.   Best wishes to King Charles III and long live the King!

I am so sorry for your loss...what a remarkable person she was!  I've been to England twice...I remember standing outside of Buckingham Palace hoping to somehow get a glimpse of her.  I loved visiting Windsor Castle and all of it's rich history.  Queen Elizabeth will be dearly missed by people through out the world, including myself.

And the bit with Paddington was amazing!

Thank you @icelandgirl, for your kind words, she will be greatly missed.  I just cannot get the images of the past few days out of my mind, scenes I am sure I will never forget - whether it was the mile long parade down Pall Mall or the scene where her corgis were sitting outside Windsor Castle, waiting for her return....

I was privileged enough to attend her Golden Jubilee Party (along with thousands of others, mind you!) at Buckingham Palace 20 years ago.   You could apply for free tickets, it was a sort of lottery, and ours were chosen.  All the Royal family were there, the Prime Minister, too, and - bizarrely - Mr Bean (or if you prefer, Johnny English).  It was the most incredible experience.   We were all given mini hampers for a picnic which I have kept, including a bottle of champagne which probably has passed its best by now, but I don't want to open it.

Now are thoughts and prayers are with our King, of course.  We think the Coronation will be in the Spring.  Maybe you could come over for that?!👑

Yes!  Then we'd have to figure out a way to meet up for tea!

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
