I see you Cecile.

Loves to you also. :wub: Hope your tummy is better today.

I really need to play with the kidlets. Talitha is sulking because I need to spend some time with the baby and she doesn't think it's fun for all of us to play on the floor.

Had to change the pic again ... Adam took this one last night at Maggianos, the other one had been taken at Christmas. There was a great pic of Morgan and I making fish lips that I was going to use, but Adam didn't email it to me.

Morgan, they're not telling you the truth, your hair is ugly, just like I've told you every day ... (I'm so jealous of her hair and the fact that that's how it looks air dried!!!)

Susan, great news about the painting!

Andrea, great pic!

Vincent--Glad that your situation is stable. Continue to take good care of yourself and stay on top of this thing. Is it ok with your doctor to run? If it's still hot down there, don't stay out too long. :)

No way am I going ut side! Its tripple digits! I can not take it much over 80 realy. This running is on my tread mill till fall.

Vincent--One other thing. Have you tried New Balance? My son has problems with his feet, and those are what the podiatrist recommended. They come in many sizes and widths :)

Yes they do, and I used to wear them when running track in HS. LAst store I went to I tired EVERY pair they had in my size range... no go! :(

okay Im off agian, have ASL class!!!

Hiya Andrea!!! Beautiful picture!!! I have that one already ;):) How are all your little rug rats today? Hope everything is going well with your new lessons! (Did you start teaching or are you just getting ready?)

Don't start until the 4th of September I think.....just trying to get ready. Then I'll really be going through thread withdrawal. I'll be on here as much as possible once school starts but I'll probably be spending most my time keeping up like a lot of you. :D

JoshuaN... I seeeee you... I know you're new and this thread is a bit intimidating, but we really are harmless :) You can join in.

ha ha Cecile, do you think...when hapless visitors come to our thread, that they start waaaaaaaaaaay back at the beginning, or go to the end? oh God help them if they start at the end..... :lol:

I love your new signature addition (but I will say that I miss the choo choo click clack) :P

I have my own OMG revelation that I noted on a different thread.

I have had knee to ankle pains for the last 6 years. I just noticed a week or so ago that they are finally gone. I have a sneaky suspicion that the gluten and/or soy was the culprit. I had always figured it was a nerve or something from my first pregnancy that never got back to normal. Sure glad that it was just food related. :P

Mitch was talking to another driver while he was waiting up north last night. She had said that HSP causes problems with the liver, everything I've read online has said the kidneys. Wonder if it could be both. I don't know if I should ask the doctor tomorrow or not. He doesn't think Talitha will have any problems. I will be real curious to see what happens with the first cold this season. It supposed to come back, but not as bad then. I wonder if the severity could have something to do with gluten. After all, rheumatoid arthritis and abdominal pain are also part of gluten intolerance.

EDIT: The fellow driver is also familiar with celiac/gluten intolerance and the probelms with soy. He was quite surprised about that. She normally hauls bees and honey for one of the owners of the business who has a berry and honey business also. They must of needed an extra driver for the main business which is primarily lumber.

Andrea, I always had bad joint pain in my knee, mainly my left knee, my wrist, and my thumbs. It's pretty much gone now that I'm gluten-free, but I noticed it bugging me again a little, not nearly as bad as before. I had been taking glucosimine, chondroitin, and msm, but ran out a month ago, guess I need more.

Gums and Giggles sure has grown up fast......and what did you to her pretty smile, eyes, nose and hair?!?! :blink:

Baby alert.....Didn't I just put him down.....oh, I guess it has been an hour. Talitha had me putting together a puzzle on the computer which took 44 minutes.

Don't worry, come into the Rachelville salon and I'm sure we could fix it in some way :rolleyes: . A little trimming... and maybe even a little bow on top to finish it up :D .

Seriously, you're the cutest ostrich around. :P

Now, off to find the kids under the crib. That has become there favorite thing to do when Seth wakes up. My daughter gets him (since he's next to my side of the bed) and takes him underneath to hide. :P

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

No!! Leave them there for at least ten minutes while you enjoy a tea and some social time with your buddies!! Then tell your kids how well they hid! You get some quiet time, they get to think you can't find them! It's a win-win situation!! :lol: Yell out once in a while, where are you? :rolleyes:

That must be why I only remember playing hide and seek with Dad.....you would never get up to find us.

I think I gave them 5 while I was on here. Talitha took Seth into the closet this time. Good thing he's not afraid of the dark.....yet. :P

Good idea though. :lol::lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
