I'm gonna get going, have some errands to run plus I'm getting a cheek cramp (and not the cheek on my face) :o

Oh my gosh, I gotta go also, Rachel's Slumber Party/Chatroom Girl Talk Thread is posing to be a huge excuse to avoid doing all the work and projects I have to do.....excellent and fun time - waster (well not that it's wasted time but you know, so much to do around here and can't just laugh and e-chat all day!!)

And Andrea, you are so right about Sarah.....so, if she was 90 in biblical times and gave birth, maybe you can halve that age and I'm still good? :rolleyes:

Chelsea - - good for you for leading those girls! - - -I've been looking into Big Brothers/Big Sisters and am concerned because I am SO broke right now, still no full-time job and currently not even a PART-TIME job as the writer I work for has been gone for two weeks......if I had a little sister, what would we do? Even gas money is scarce......

You guys are awesome......all kinds of laughs, encouragement, support, and heck, I only started on page 90 or so.....as mentioned before, need the Cliff notes to catch up on the other chapters...........

I'd say 50 or so actually. Wasn't the average age 120 then. That's about 35-40 years beyond ours..so don't give up. :P

WHAT???? so there is still hope for me? (44 years old)

Now that I'm gluten-free and not drinking, I think that my, um, selection process for dating candidates will be MUCH healthier than before...... :rolleyes: but I had totally ruled out having children....problem is, I really want grandchildren!! :blink:

Susan, there is always hope, and always many possibilities. :)

I've been following this string almost from the beginning. I didn't check it after about 2:30 PM yesterday, so when I checked in this afternoon it had gone from page 101 to page 112!!! I'm so dizzy! :blink:

I'm crashing this slumber party! It's the absolute BEST!!! :D You all are so smart and witty and caring and loving! Hugs and kisses to all! :D:D:D

About babies, sure you can have babies when you're in your forties. Go for it! After my first three, my mother was embarassed to death when I would turn up preggers again. Nice people just don't DO it that often!!! :lol::lol::lol: Poor daddy. ;)

About alcohol, unless something dreadful happens to my body because of it, I intend to have my Jack Daniels every Friday and Saturday night. I'm a loyal Tennessean! :lol:

Rachel, I pray all goes well at the doctor's today. I'll check this string in the morning.

And your ovaries

The ovaries...old, chemically/medicinally fried eggs in there..... :blink:

First need a man, I don't care what that other thread says about not needing the male, I will want one for that.....oh, and I'm done looking, so God himself has to send the guy to me when it's time!

thanks Julie, Floridian, Patti and Andrea for all the encouragement about these older women having babies. You know, I never even really wanted one that badly, until now, when the gluten-haze has been removed - - - somehow I am looking at them now in this whole new light, and then think I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!! :o

Oh, nanny will be required too as I am old and tired. :P

Welcome to the party Cissie.

I think it's pretty hilarious that right when a couple men join in, everyone starts a long conversation about ovaries.

My DH got over his embarassment real quick when I had an emergency need for monistat. He's also been sent out for emergency OTC UTI meds, emergency phazyme, and emergency pregnancy tests. He's also present at Sam's when I buy tampax in bulk :lol:

He's a good kid :)

Sunday marks one year of marital bliss!!!

Personally, I got over the embarassment of buying tampons/pads when I was old enough to need to buy condoms :ph34r:

My DH is also good about buying whatever it is that I may need. :)

Andrea-- :o is right! It better be good-eh :D

We usually by the ground beef which is still very pricey but we bought it on sale. I had to call my mom to find out how to do pot roast. I'll still probably have to call her back tomorrow when I make it. Of course I have to adjust ingredients as I can't use wheat flour to coat it in. She also uses onion soup mix which I won't use. I haven't had pot roast for years...probably since I was last living at home...about 20 years ago...that's a long time...hope it's as good as I remember considering my mom won't be making it.

Our grocery budget is through the roof. Organic isn't cheap.

This isn't embarassing or anything, but just today Mark went to Whole Foods for me on his lunch break (it's near his work, but about 45 min from here). The store is under renovations, and he had to ask the guy where my Kiss My Face soap and Zia cleanser were--all the time on the phone with me making sure he got the right things. :rolleyes:

what comes to mind here is my phobia of "proper" words .... I can't say "menstration" and the rest of those.... I get SO embarrassed... now I can say the "slang" for everything and I have no problem.

OMG--me too! I've never heard of anyone else that was the same way! Spooky :ph34r:

Well I'm off to my appt. :)

I had to catch up on the thread first...I feel like I'm running late all day today. Late for work, late coming back from lunch and now...if I dont move my butt, late for the appt. Could it be the thread? :o

Nah.... :P

BTW...The last guy I dated wasnt at all bothered when after only a few dates I sent him to the store for tampons. :lol:

It was kind of a test but he wasnt phased at all...I think he was actually happy to do it. :huh:

Many times after that he brought them home....knew exactly which ones to get too!

Oh...we werent living together....alot of times I was too sick to go to the store though so he went for me. :)

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
