Susan, you have to really look at the Ostrich. That sucker will cheer anyone up. When I get kinda down, I come on here, look for my ostrich and then just smile. He has the most goofy loving look and that is why I wanted him from Floridian. So, remember to look for the ostrich and let him take your cares away.

Thursday morning I leave for the airport and my trip to Las Vegas. Lynne and I have our planes land about 15 minutes apart. That is so cool. We are going to have a great time. We both have been trying to get plenty of rest this past week, so that we can really enjoy ourselves.

i agree, everytime i see your ostrich, it brings a smile to my face :D

Yep. Since you're the oldest, you need to find yourself a man. Get married. Have babies. :D I won't turn yours into rotten brats ... I'm saving that for your brother's kids!

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

Good

Just a brief post - don't know what's going on - have sunk into a pit and crawling my way out.....heinous....thought I"d never see this place again :angry: Will get through but it will take a bit of time.

love you girls.....

Thank you for thinking of us Susan. We will continue to keep you in our prayers and thoughts. Take the time you need and we are here for you if you need us.

Yes, Susan I am rooting for you too. Having that company was really good for you but now you may be having the downside of those good times, sorry. But sometimes it works that way for us. :angry: Just hang in there, better days ahead. I always like Psalms, most of them have some happy times. Will be thinking of you. :)

Andrea, that little boy just looks angelic in your last pic. Did not think he could be any cuter than on the floor but he is. You have such a nice looking family!!

I also like the 'Bird", just what we need here as a mascot. Hope all the suffering people are feeling better, I am so I know it is no fun but we know there will be a better day just differs how long!! :) have a good evening all. evie

I got mad at God this morning very momentarily because I read a proverb or psalm, can't remember, and it said that things would be so good he'll "feed you wheat." I thought, "Great, then I'll be SICK!!" Funny how things hit us when you least expect it!

Carla--so enjoyed this from you, honey! What a riot! :lol:

OMG Gray's Anatomy will take care of so many things.... ;) Dr. McDreamy is the new Matthew (McConnaughey) and he is my new love....

WE need gray's anatomy but for tonight, I'll just settle for some good celebrity gossip. ;)

LOVE THIS SHOW AND CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME BACK!!!

Susan--sorry your having a rough patch..I agree with Carla (I think it was) who said ...wallow or take the time to feel and heal...take it from someone who stuffed feelings down for years. last few years allowing my self to feel and get ANGRY which I was taught.."good girls didn't show anger" so I guess getting fat was the alternative :ph34r::D Good Grief... :unsure:

Maybe in my younger years i was so busy (bringing home the baccon and frying it up in the pan...want ever the rest to the stupid saying was) that I just got thro the days as best i could and of course..being the best parent you could be..now there is time for me..don't waste the years 'stuck' in over analyzing everything. alot of time was wasted doing that by me too. oh lordy, I'm lecturing..sorry..was trying to help ...at 64 I guess you'll just have to deal with the 'jabbering' old lady :lol:

Hugs and love and tissues for you my 'Dingo girl'

Thanks Evie.

We adore the little guy. He's just starting to cut his first tooth.....finally! He's also a very tired little guy as he fell asleep on the way home from errands and didn't get his regular naptime in. Getting all geared up to start school with my daughter on the 4th. Still trying to round up some stuff for teachers aids....need to finish my lists and then figure out where to get stuff, or what would need to be made (which will probably be the case).

Every time I look at the ostrich, I think it is one of those trick pictures..... You see an ostrich, but also, if you look at it's beak, you see a hamster's face also...... or is that just me being weird again???? ;)B):D

mouse Enthusiast

Your just being weird again Karen. You are probably jealous of my hairstyle LOL. I know my smile is very unusual - but a hamster - no way. :blink::)

I'll prove it. Take a look:

Isn't he cute?

I am impressed with your computer skills. Want to pass some of those skills my way. LOL.

Susan, I hope you're feeling better. Know that we're all rooting for you...

Karen, that hamster's so cool! I love hidden pictures... & like you I see them everywhere, whether they were put there or not! (My kids make fun of me for all the times I say "Doesn't that rock look exactly like a...")

Makes me think of the weird things people sell on eBay-- toast with an image of Elvis, &c.

I totally admire families who home school their children, takes a lot of discipline, love and the teacher (usually mother) has to give up most outside of home life. Our minister home schools his 12 yr. old son, his wife works out of the home so he does most of it. A family near us home school their dd, she is their miracle child, blended family. They had both been married before, she had 2 ds, tubes tied so had to go thru surgery & etc procedures/ $$$ in order to have her. Also a church family did home schooling for many years, oldest girl REALLY excelled in classes and music, she is nearly thru college and married to a youth min ister. Next oldest son finally made it thru, bit of foot dragger and works with a musician. The last three went to public school since last year and really like it but mother had to turn to other pursuits since a divorce in family a few years ago.That was a really tragic deal. The father is a very 2 faced person. The mother is now our church sec. and going to school, there has been a lot of couseling for whole family. We all try to be supportive for the family here.

I hope I have not been too specific. :huh: Just not in aggreemnet with the hamster idea but I do like the mouse (bird), good try though!! :blink:

Hope all are fit and fiddle (faddle) today, I am going to iron my pants i finally finished hemming last night and wear them to my quilting group and get some more food. Its a wonder we aren't among the 2/3 of the US who are overweight the way we eat. But hubby just put cover on our asphalt driveway this am and trimmed a dozen yew plants near house so he wil need some and I need bananas!! :P I am not nearly as energetic as would like to be but like to meet/ quitling group 1 x a week if I can even when I have to wear support on my wrist. Will aslo visit a 92 yr. old former neighbor and take her some home applesauce + tomatoes. I am a people person as most of you are, I think. Better 'get around' as hubby says. :) Wish you all a good day!! evie

Evie,

My outside life is this forum. I like to stay home. I like people too, but find it easier to "meet" with my friends here (on the forum).

Have a fun day today! :)

oh good googly moogly....I wake up, putter around, wander over to the computer and this site.....Armetta is now a mouse who is an ostrich but really a hamster :blink::ph34r: Chelsea is a kitty-penguin, Morgan is having grandbabies....what else? HI Robbin!! so nice to see you! Cisie - - where are you? Karen - you are a lunatic....

Andrea - that baby boy is so CUTE!!

Evie - you are so busy - MORE ironing and hemming? ironing doesn't happen much here and the day I had to iron all eight silk curtain panels was purely heinous, I tell you.....

Wish you girls were all HERE and we could sip tea and laugh and cry and eat some of Leah's wonderful treats.... :)

Seriously, your encouragement brought a tear to my eye, girls. :( The last three days I'd like to erase off the calendar.....never thought I could get that depressed again and feel like a fraude for evangelizing that removing gluten is the cure for all depression. I am back on a low dose of antidepressants :( and feeling sheepish and unhappy about it....this black pit I find myself in is from the excessive (and valid) worries I have over my future and the normal things in life I DIDN"T have that I grieve....I won't go into details but I just get knocked down with sorrow at times, and then it passes. But usually, since removing gluten, it's maybe just ONE mildly bad day and then back to normal....this one is severe. Gettign back into the creative things always helps and I'm about to start some botanical illustrations again....made two necklaces last night....yay! Creating, for me, is the way out of the abyss. I stopped painting, mostly, years ago and that was a huge mistake.....am finally feeling the desire to start again.

armetta - Vegas - - good googly moogly what fun! .....will be thinking of you and Lynne,

GRAY"S ANATOMY - - can't wait - - - can't wait - - - Robbin it really is dr. McDreamy's PERSONALITY that sucks you in - - easy on the eyes, yes he is, but you just fall in love with how tender and kind he is.... :wub:

Carla - the Beatitudes - am going to go read them now! thank you...also Psalm 91, 40, and my daily dose of Proverbs. I skipped Bible study last night as I didn't want them to see me that way....

What else? Just know that your kind thoughts and words and just seeing you all here brightened my mood considerably. :)

Much love to you all.....

penguin Community Regular

Glad you're feeling better, Suzie!

queenofhearts Explorer

Susan, don't you dare think you're a fraud because you still have to battle with depression. I'm glad you got the help you needed to pull yourself out of the pit. The mind is a complicated thing, influenced by gluten, sure, but even gluten-free isn't all-powerful. I'm just so glad you are coming out of it. We need you!!!!!

I'm a big believer in art as therapy-- that's probably how I got started in the first place! Painting is not only therapeutic, but is in itself a sign of health for me... not painting is my biggest danger sign.

I'm sending you virtual meringues & paintbrushes.

Hang in there!

Sending me virtual meringues and paintbrushes.....what a delight....can you somehow make them REAL and not virtual? :) But here's something.....that miscreant singer JR, whom we have alluded to in here (I erased the actual posts), bought me very expensive brushes - at least ONE good thing came out of that.

I gave up painting for years, and yes, that is a danger sign, despite the nagging of everyone....lost every bit of desire to paint and never thought it would come back....and now, it is here again, mercifully. This is a huge thing!

I'm so happy for you-- I predict a wonderful flood of work. When I've passed through a creative block, it feels just like a tsunami-- you know how all the water goes out to the deep sea & the ocean bed is dry for miles? That is the block. Then when the wave comes, look out!

Go forth & paint!

Celia, you are a fruit cake LOL. I am going back into the postings looking for whatever Penquin is suppose to have done. Could not find anything, unless she is sitting right next to you and she goosed you, I have no idea what she did. Oh, well, since I am always two weeks late in figuring anything out in my mind, I am normal - he he. :blink:

You should go back & find her post. Hit refresh if you don't see it. You'll get a kick out of it!

Hit F5 for her new picture... scared the spinach out of me.... :lol:

Oh, that little... whatever... wouldn't hurt a fly!

mouse Enthusiast

I have hit refreshed and F5 - Nada. Maybe she removed whatever by now. All I see is the penquin.

There is nothing wrong with taking anti-depressants, no matter what Tom Cruise says. Anybody who needs them should take them. So, none of you should apologise for doing what is necessary to give you a normal life back.

Look where that comment got Tom Cruise! (And about time.)

Did you look CLOSELY at that penguin? Put on your glasses!

jerseyangel Proficient

Armetta,

Look very carefully at the penguin's face. ;)

I want to wish you and Lynne a wonderful, safe trip! Have fun--I'm so happy for both of you!

mouse Enthusiast

Are you guys referring to the cat face on the penquin. Sorry, but I noticed that some time ago and thought you were talking about something new, that I was missing. I miss a lot, so nothing surprises me. I did have my glasses on and this time I put my nose up to the computer to make sure I missed nothing LOL.

Thanks for the good wishes for our trip. I am all excited. I am packed and just killing time. Hope I get some sleep tonight. I go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, but never with a girl buddy. This is going to be fun. Lynne has never been there. We won't leave the hotel too much, but she will see the Volcano and I want to take her to Ceasar's Forum to see the sky, etc. And of course we are going to have some very nice dinners. And she also plays the pennies and nickles. Hopefully she does not play them the way I do - he he.

AndreaB Contributor

Have fun Armetta! Talk to you when you get back. :)

      Given your severe symptoms it sounds like you would be much better off going 100% gluten-free!
    • Ginger38
      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. This has been the most difficult and confusing journey to date for me, and it has been going on since 2015/2016. The last dietitian I met with works with a lot of celiac patients, so I was excited, but she just thought I should be able to eat gluten free (whatever that may be) stay in a carb count and my diabetes would not be affected. WRONG. I have tried this several times since I crossed over to full blown diabetes, because I get so sick eating gluten that I end up getting frustrated and go back to gluten free to get some relief. I have a continuous glucose monitor so it is easy to see how my body and glucose are reacting to foods. Unfortunately my suspicions are correct. When I eat gluten-free foods -like Schar breads or rolls, or the crackers, including when I stay in my carb limit,  my sugar spikes and just sits there.. .it won;t even come back down for hours. So in the end it drives my overall glucose and A1C up. I can't really even eat oats or things like that. Cereal is very iffy. Gluten free pizzas, gluten free nuggets, and things like that majorly spike my sugar as well, again, even when staying in my carb limits. I already feel so limited on foods because of the diabetes so of course, when medical people and family and friends are like just go eat gluten, I have been like oh okay - maybe it is all in my head and hey its way cheaper to eat gluten and tastes wayyy better...and then I end up right back where I am today,. MISERABLE, just laying around in pain, spending all day in the bathroom, having accidents related to diarrhea, constant tremors, heart rate issues, chest pain etc. and I forgot about these terrible painful canker sores in my mouth right now, I can't even hardly eat or drink or swallow they hurt so bad.  Not being able to feel like I can eat gluten free is extremely frustrating. I had some great recipes and substitutes for things, and was at a decent place with all that, until the diabetes went crazy out of control, so gluten-free living seems to not be an option for me. However, eating gluten when I truly still believe I am celiac -just misdiagnosed- does NOT seem like a wise idea. I am honestly scared  I am going to get deathly ill from all this or something. I even asked my GI doctor, more like begged, if he would please just label me as celiac and tell me I was for sure (like he did before) so I could get the support I truly need. No such luck. He just keeps saying but your tests were okay 🙄 My family went to an arcade and pizza/pasta buffet yesterday - obviously I didn't want to miss out spending time with my family and my mom spent money paying for my meal/buffet - and I was hungry, so of course I ended up eating pizza and pasta that was not gluten-free, because they don't offer any gluten-free options, and then my brother and others want to ask can you eat that or are you supposed to, and I am like well no, and I will definitely pay for it. They think it is hilarious when I say things and then make comments, like how it is so fun to go out with me especially places like that because I am not supposed to eat but I just do it anyway and say I will pay for it 😥 just seems everywhere I turn it is pointless and I have no support

      Just like you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little Celiac.  Here is an article I found that explains what the numbers mean. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Here is another article about the non traditional symptoms of Celiac Disease. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? I've been taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 since 2015.  My blood tests every 3 months for 25(OH)D have never gone above 93 ng/ml, even in the Florida summer.  70 - 100 is the body's natural homeostasis level. Surge of information on benefits of vitamin D "“When combined with supplemental magnesium, vitamin D repletion has dramatically changed my practice,” said McCarthy ... “There are now very few patients with infections, and asthmatics who are coming off medications are staying off of them. ... A lifeguard study that found vitamin D levels in the 70 ng/mL range up to 100 ng/mL (nature’s level) were associated with no adverse effects; ... Colon cancer data showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer (linear) with postulated 0 point at 75 ng/mL;

      Interesting! Recent labs I had done did show that I was low in Vitamin D so I just began supplementing, it’s hard to tell so soon but it does seem to have a positive affect! Thanks for the input!

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary depending on where the samples are taken and how many are collected. It’s also true that celiac disease exists on a spectrum, and many people have serious symptoms and immune responses without yet showing classic biopsy damage. Managing diabetes alongside suspected or confirmed celiac disease is incredibly tricky, especially when healthcare providers don’t work as a team to support your whole health. You shouldn’t be forced to choose between controlling your blood sugar or protecting your gut and immune system. A well-planned gluten-free diet can be both nourishing and diabetes-friendly, especially with guidance from a knowledgeable dietitian who understands both conditions. It’s also deeply concerning that your symptoms—neurological issues, severe fatigue, GI distress, rashes, and more—are being dismissed. You’re not just describing discomfort; you’re describing a level of illness that’s life-altering, and your instincts that something is seriously wrong are absolutely worth trusting. You know your body better than anyone. You deserve a team that listens, believes you, and helps you build a realistic, sustainable path to healing. Whether it’s celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or something else, you have every right to go gluten-free permanently if that’s what makes you feel functional. Many people never get a “perfect” diagnosis but reclaim their health by honoring their own experience and choosing a path of least harm. You are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. Keep advocating for yourself—you and your daughter both deserve a healthier, more stable life.
