The world outside of Rachelville is a scary place. :(

Nikki, I've probably said this too many times but garlic works wonders for boils.

The article on micro-waves is worth reading, I know they are quick but if we think about what processed food does to us and then add on being processed again fast again in a micro-wave in a way that changes it....EEK!!!!

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I need a sobbing emotion thingy.

Please God, please don't let me be the type of parent that exists (existed) in my troop. They've thrown a coup d'etat, and didn't bother to let me know until after they were done :(

They've taken 3/4 of the girls, but deny recruiting within the troop :unsure:

What's really wierd is that these are the same parents that were praising me just 3 short months ago...

Sorry to be a Downer, I hope everyone feels ok today.

I'm so sorry, Chelsea :(

You just can't figure some people out. Feel better :)

Anyone look at CNN -- wow!

PP (premature post) - - this is one of the reasons I was up a lot last night, got that news flash and I worry so.... :( Dingo Annie was holding my hand of course but that is not enough to ward off terrorists on airplanes.... :o

what else.....forgot now......

more later - - just a drive-by/pop-in..... :)

Cissie - the boils and the penicillin illness - - holy Lord - my friend's daughter almost died from STevens-Johnson, 106 fever burning from the inside out from her terrible antibiotic - huge lawsuits against that company - she lived, we had people praying in the hallway outside of ICU as humans were not allowed in as her body was one giant open bleeding wound....oh holy tangents how did I go there...but antibiotics are so wicked...

Vincent - do you have highly elevated C-proteins? hence the avoidance of carbs/sugar? my best friend has that......quite serious.....keep the heart healthy! sounds like you're eating well.

gotta go - - -

(does Taps make you cry? me too....we could hear it in Monterey at 11:00 every night, I used to drive by Defense Language INstitute to hear it - wish someone would play it for me each night before bed...)

Hi Chloe!

It's nice of your mom or sister to let you in here. :P

Everyone else hello again.

I read through everything, but don't feel like commenting right now. I'll be back later. Gotta eat and talk to my mother (if my kids will let me) and stepfather for a bit before they live.

Talitha's appointment went great. She didn't have to have a blood draw......and let me tell you, was she ever excited about that. The nephrologist is familiar with gluen intolerance/celiac as well as DH. I was really surprised....he prefers the blood test but I told him we went through enterolab. Her HSP could have been worse because of undiagnosed gluten intolerance. That's what I think anyway. She needs to go back in six months. If she comes down with this after the first cold of the season then she will need another blood draw but will be able to go to her regular doctor. The nephrologist we see comes up to Vancouver from Portland.

Drive by here too; there's a storm coming.

Susan, penicillin is made from a certain type pf mold. Yuck! That's how I discovered I'm deathly allergic to molds. :ph34r:

A friend of mine was buried in Arlington. She had been an Army nurse, a lieutenant, in WW II. I bawled when the bugler played Taps. It always made me cry, but now it's personal.

Shutting down for the duration.

Good night, all. Pleasant dreams.

Oh Chelsea- I'm so sorry- that is lame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan- I love Taps (I almost typed Tapas :blink: ). It's so beautiful.

I'm pretty freaked (well- not freaked- honestly more annoyed than anything) about the terrorist plot.

A) it sounds like it would have had a massive death tol if it had exceeded :ph34r:

B). Purely selfish but I'm supposed to fly on Saturday on United- one of the targeted airlines- and I'm so frustraed with my vacations getting messed up by:

1. stomach flu

2. C-Diff

3. flagyl for C-Diff

4. now a terrorist attack

I feel selfish- I guess I should just be relieved no one was hurt. :(:):ph34r:

B--We completely understand. You've been through the wringer lately, and no one can blame you for being frustrated!

I'm also so thankful that no one was injured--I did hear that the death toll could have been huge. Such a sad, terrifying state of affairs. :(

How are you feeling today--any better?

And the heart condition... well is there realy any heart condition thats NOT serious? :D

Yes, taps makes me cry...I'm a die-hard scout after all :rolleyes:

What this woman did is decide that she wanted her toy back (she was their leader in kindergarten). She called each parent and recruited them into her troop. The only reason I have 4 left is that she didn't want those girls, so she didn't call the parents.

When one parent said "I'd like to talk to the leaders about this" the woman said, "I'd rather you wait until I send them the letter" :angry:

So she's been recruiting all summer. Within the troop.

There are so many words I've used to express my anger, hurt, and frustration, but none of them correspond with the board rules. So much for the GS law :unsure:

Sorry about the troop, Chelsea. Working with youth seems to mean backstepping quite often. Sometimes because of the parents, sometimes because of the kids --depending on the age you are working with.

OMG I was going to post something about microwaves. Premature post sorry - haven't read the article or most of the recent posts. I've been thinking though about microwaves and how they probably affect all of us in a really really negative way. They apparantly alter the structure of the food molecules, which can in turn trigger an autoimmune response! Sorry if this was all already talked about (need to read the posts lol). I've just been thinking that microwaves could be a huge missing piece to the puzzle. Random tangent sorry.

Okay so funny story. This morning on my way to work I stopped to get some hot tea (because it's the arctic here LOL). They put milk in my tea and wouldn't fix it, claiming that's what I ordered HAHAHA. So then I stopped at Starbucks in a second attempt to get some tea, and to reveal which flavors were available, the guy working there had to remove three gigantic bags of bagels that were sitting ON TOP of the tea bags. I couldn't handle the visual of bagels on my tea bags so I left. LOL My third attempt to get tea was successful however. Sheesh. Okay back to work....

Meredith,

Poor you.

We got rid of our microwave a few years back....took it to Value Village. It does take longer to cook without it or warm stuff up.....but things sure do taste better.

Mother Hen needs to feed her chicks. I'll be back in a few. I totally threw my schedule off today. Had a lara bar this morning then didn't have time to eat again til 3. I did have some enjoy life cookies around 2 though. Mitch would shoot me if he knew I didn't eat until 3, of course he'll find out when he calls tonight.

Hope everyone's day has been good and that those who weren't feeling well this morning are better.

Beverly and Karen, sorry you're feeling crummy.

Vincent, my sister knows ASL. She's taught it to her son from the day he was born, so it's primary language for him. When at a dinner table or somewhere else where you don't really want to discipline, she starts using it with him. Neither of them are hearing impaired. It's kind of funny, she starts flipping her hands around a bit, then he looks guilty and is quiet! :D Very cute.

Uh, huh, feeding our geese gluten ... comments like this ... we're going to need a picture minus the glasses and WE'VE GOT OUR EYES ON YOU!!!!! :D I think you might not be such the idiot you're trying to act like!!!

I really am an idiot! If you don't believe me...ask Rachel....she's the only one who knows me in RL!

Ummm...I noticed it too. :ph34r:

Will have to find out what this is all about. :huh:

Yeah Dave....best behavior!!! All eyes are on YOU! :D

Hmmm... :blink: You're such a liar! You said everyone was talking about my comment......when I was catching up just now I thought they were talking about geese...not what you said....I think you're the only one that was freaked out by it! :rolleyes::lol:

And in case you didn't notice....I like all eyes on me....it doesn't bother me any! :D

I"ll recognize you by the Bumble crumbs on your face, right? I"ll have chocolate from the Nuggets smeared on my chin)...I don't know who else at this point....you must join us!

Now wait one minute.... how could I hijack any thread... I'm the nice, shy one :rolleyes:

(psstt don't listen to Dingo)

If emu's are anything like ostriches, they bite. But the babies are probably harmless. :P:lol:

I had thought an emu was nice until we went to the wildlife safari in Winston OR. An emu was coming up to the car and Mitch told me to roll up the window. He was as tall as the car (little metro). I'm surprised he didn't bust the window or put a dent in the car he was pecking so hard. :angry: I'll never think they are such cute big birds any more.

Is an emu a bird? I do not know as am guite afraid of large winged things... :lol:

They are a lot like ostriches. I thought it was an ostrich but Mitch thought it was an emu. I think they are smaller than ostriches. If anybody has any more bird smarts than us, please pitch in.

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
