When do you sleep between being up half the night and taking care of the children?

A big HUG for you.

I've got to get to bed too. I'm one of those that needs more sleep than some.

Well, let's see..... it should quiet down around 5 - 6 a.m...... doze off until around 8 - 9 a.m. when someone usually comes down and kisses my cheek (either Daniel, Connor or Rhiannon, I mean!). I pretty much sleep on the couch every single night now, if I was upstairs, I would be waking everyone up with my bathroom antics!

During the school year it is a bit easier, as the days that the boys go to school (they are going into SK this year), I can at least nap during the day to catch up on some sleep. Where I live, kindergarten kids go every second day, all day, instead of 1/2 days every day......

Miamia,

Have no words of encouragement that you haven't already heard, but I just wanted you to know that you have absolutely no idea how much I can relate to this statement. If it helps to make you feel better at all, I am SOOOOOOO in the same boat as you are........ except in your situation, you take one step forward (progress) then go backwards..... I just plain go backwards!!!! :(

Sending hugs to ya,

Karen

I hate to hear you are in the same boat- its not a very fun one. The steps forward are more mental- like I think I have figured something out -some key and I get really determined and work at it like crazy and then never really get any results. o me and you can walk backwards together. At least we won't be lonely!!

Vincent--

Don't feel bad, you're not alone! I had 14 pages to read this morning. Good thing I had to get up early to wait for the Verizon repairman. :D

I may have to give up sleeping :lol:

Best of luck tomorrow morning with your heart testing. I will say a prayer for you tonight. :) Let us know...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!! HAPPY TUESDAY :D:D .

Gotta let dog out to poo and then feed her and the cats (who are soon to be homeless if they do not shut their little big mouths, lol. ) Why do I feel like I have a hangover every morning and I don't drink? Ugh. Maybe I should start. :blink: See y'all later.

Everyone who was sleeping last night- - The Dave is indeed the "Village Idiot" and way too fun to tease :D .

oh yeah- a village idiot- we needed one of those. So maybe when we do things- like eat things we know we shoulden't we can say we pulled a "Dave"

Here is an example-

"Rachel often commits a 'dave' when she eats Edward and son crackers"

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

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
