Cecile - - mon petit sauvage - are you all right....sounding a little sad today. How are you feeling?

I am delirious with a touch of dementia - - did I already post that my mom apologized? I can count on one hand the times she's done this.....forgive if I"ve already mentioned - my friend calls it "re-teller's disease..." :blink:

I left the spinach out last night on the counter too long - - - more melting/de-frosting - a NEW puddle of green in the freezer. :)

I got nothin'. V. boring today. I actually think I have an emotional hangover from my mother's antics yesterday and how sad it made me. Which means, tomorrow will be fantastic.

Love to all you girls - - - - :)

Will the frig repair man left and it was not a switch. I needed the ice maker thingee. My bill was $257.02. Isn't that great to have to spend that on a 15 month old frig. He said it is a problem in Arizona. Asked if I had an RO system and then had no complaits about the type I have.

Still am tired and am glad I planned on a real easy supper. I have a hunch I will be in bed early. Which seems to be the usual for me.

Thank you Floridian for the Ostrich. That cute sucker just brings so many smiles to my face. And so many of us need help with smiles on occasion.

Dingo girl, I assume the Dingo dogs helped find me again. Thanks to you and your dogs for all the help.

Well gee, let's see: I am nervous about my endo tomorrow, I have to be at the hospital for 7:00 a.m. and it is in downtown Toronto, and I am 1 1/2 hours away, which means I have to LEAVE at 5:30 by the latest... <_<

My dog has had diarrhea for two days now - got into something in the backyard (the neighbour has vines coming over the fence into our backyard and I think they have little berries on them that Buddy may have gotten into). Anyway, being a 108 lb. HUGE golden retriever, there's alot of big puddles of "you know what" that I just had to cover with a tarp so he won't step in it until I get a chance to do something with it...... I have been feeding him rice since yesterday and it seems to have subsided..... <_<

Oh yeah, the clincher, today is August 15th, my 13th Wedding Anniversary. It is now 8:50 p.m., and I have yet to get a card, kiss, any acknowledgement what-so-ever from my wonderful husband..... :angry:

Yep, just a wonderful day.......

Oh well, this too shall pass......

I just have to keep on remembering the promise I made to God. As long as He blesses my children with continued good health, I can deal with whatever else He throws at me.....

Hugs.

Karen

You might have good luck calling the manufacturer of the fridge and complaining that such a new fridge should not cost you so much, and that you will never buy any of their products again, and you will tell all your friends what a lousy fridge it is, blah blah blah.

I got Honda to cover half of an $800 repair bill on a car that was only JUST past its warranty. Good luck!

My hubby has forgotten my birthday, HIS birthday, our anniversary, etc. Sometimes, amidst all the stress ,they need to be told what day it is....

Anyway, hang in there, and I'll be thinking nice thoughts for you....

Hugs Karen.

I'll be praying and thinking about you tomorrow. Maybe your hubby has a lot on his mind about tomorrow too. Still hurts though, I know. :(

Celia,

I enjoyed the dolphins while they lasted. :P

Armetta,

I like Alison's idea (Fiddle-Faddle). One more reminder that they don't make anything to last these days.

Patti,

Good to see you. :)

Susan,

Yeah about your mom talking to you. Give the girls a hug for me. :P

Judy,

Hello to you too. I hope all is going as well as can be expected.

I've been there too, Karen, with the no-celebration thing, but it must be particularly tough when you have such a stressful event ahead. Andrea has a good point that he may be focusing on that, but funny how that sort of thing never stops US from remembering birthdays & anniversaries!

Hang in there,

Leah

Karen, I have been married 43 years and he still is not sure which day in April is my birthday. I finally gave up on him knowing the birthday and anniversary dates and now I remind him a few days before and also early on the day of whatever. that way, if he again forgot the reminder, he still has time to get a card. But it hurts no matter what, when they forget. Once he forgot and so I sent myself beautiful flowers. I thought he would wonder who sent them. The first thing out of his mouth, was did I get a discount at the florist and was that why I bought myself flowers. I could have thrown the flowers at him.

I am not much better then my hubby. His birthday was July 30th and I went and got him this most beautiful Hallmark card. It said everything I wanted it to say. I must have read the many words at least 6 or more times before I signed and sealed it. So on this last birthday, he opens it up and comes out and tells me the sentiment is really nice, but I could have saved it for our wedding anniversary. Yep, it said "Happy Anniversary", not "Happy Birthday". So, after I gasped, I then said did he tear the envelope, because I can reseal it and give it to him next April - he he.

Judy has come down with a cold. That is why she is driping all over the keyboard.

I became mouse as I googled my name and was uncomfortable with that. You google mouse and you get mice - he he. When I was little, it was my Father's nickname for me.

Going to finish reading the forum and then am heading to bed. Hope everyone sleeps well tonight and that tomorrow is a much better day for everyone.

MEN!!! Their minds just don't work like ours. Mouse, my husband has always confused my April birthday with that of his first wife's April birthday! :lol: They're only one day apart. He even had my birthday wrong on our first joint tax returns, so every year, for 30 years now, I remind him - just in case! I've always thought the birthday thing was funny!

For some reason he always remembers our wedding anniversary; I'm the one who sometimes forgets it, and that hurts his feelings.

For my birthday and Christmas, I just go out and charge something expensive for myself, and tell him, "Look what you got me, honey!" :P

Susan, I'm glad you're family problem got worked out. I missed your cheerful goofiness!

Cecile, thank God THE BIRD is back!

Good night to all.

Karen is sleeping right now. It did not go well as there were no Villi standing up. They did some biopsies to check for H. Pylori. There were ulcers in her intestines. She drove herself to the exam and back home again, which was an hour an a half each way. She lied and told them that her husband was waiting down in the lobby to drive her home. She was so afraid that there were still no Villi and I am sure this is a big blow to her. I pray she gets some much needed rest. I emailed her to go into her shell if she needed to, until she felt like coming out again.

I am having a good day. No wheezing since I cleaned out my lungs (again) Monday night. I hope I am at the end of this. I am so looking forward to going to Vegas and having a great girl time with Lynne next Thursday. I told her that after 3 nights in Vegas, we will probably have to take to our beds for weeks to recover. Oh, such is the joy of having a fun time.

Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Hi guys.

No villi present. Numerous ulcers in the stomach. He has started me on Losec for those and has taken biopsies including biopsying the ulcers to check for H Pylori. Will find out next week.

I know I was a very, very bad girl today driving myself back. Terry is working with my brother this week and my sister was down in Ithaca taking Joanna back to Cornell and Mom was watching the kids for me, so there were no other options.....

Hope all is well with everyone else. Oh, I left a card downstairs in the basement on Terry's chair so he would get it when he went to watch TV after the kids were asleep. I of course went to bed early as I had to get up early. So this morning, before I left, he gave me a kiss on the cheek, hug, said Happy Anniversary and the old "Oops, I forgot......" <_<

Men, can't live with them, can't flush them down the toilet......... :angry:

I am so glad that Karen has posted. Like Judy said, it is hard for her to post when the news is not good. She always tries to be so upbeat when she is on the forum. But, as we all know that is sometimes difficult at times. My prayers are with Karen daily and I hope everyone puts her into their daily prayers. If you do not pray, then please wrap her in daily hugs.

Celia, I love the photo. What a pretty women you are! If I could figure out how you could send me my photo and how I could get it on for my avatar, I would. it beats my cactus - he he.

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
