Andrea, I hope you don't feel bad, then again, if you don't, how will you ever convince your mom a little is too much!!?? I'm going to my grandmothers on Tuesday, so I'm hoping all will go well. I told her not to be offended if we get there and I decide not to eat because of some contamination issue she didn't think of, that it's taken me a few months to learn how to take care of myself, that I can't teach her how to in a phone call. After our arrival, I'll be helping with the cooking, so all will be okay then.

She always makes meringue cookies for us, so I told her to get Enjoy Life choc chips or nuts so that I could eat some, too. She was very agreeable. And I warned her about no flour, no crumbs, no porous cookware, so hopefully all will be okay. I usually eat a couple dozen of those cookies myself!! :o:P

Gotta love those enjoy life cookies.....they are much too small. Very easy to eat too many. Sounds like we may have a Rachel problem too. :o:rolleyes:

Yes, my mom thinks we are being too picky. I've heard that numerous times over the years. My reaction is over within 24 hours normally and not that bad. I agree that she needs to understand that "a little" is too much for us.

No, not Enjoy Life cookies .... Grammie's homemade meringue cookies with Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips!!!!! I could never indulge in that many store bought cookies, I'm a cookie snob!!

You know I stopped over-indulging in single items once I got my weight up. I'd sit down and eat a whole bag of Ruffles ... now I'm down to a few chips at a time. I usually indulged in just one food, maybe that was my tummy's way of being easy on itself. Like "Don't eat ice cream and chips, only one or the other, please!!"

I used up all of my Enjoy Life chocolate chips and NO ONE carries them here. So, I email the gluten free store on this forum to see if they can send me a case or two of them frozen (remember I live where it is HOT). The lady was so nice, but she found out that they won't send any of the non frozen items in freezer boxes. I have to wait until this winter to order enough to last me a year. They are so good and taste just like the regular ones.

Who said the bird probably stinks? I took a bath this morning before I went to the grocery store. And I even fluffed my hair and put on my red lipstick.

I tried Retinol based cream once and got peeling skin with irritation.

It's too harsh for some skin types -

I've been letting nature take it's course as regards skin. The more I fuss with it, the more problems I create.

My husband and I stoped having Friday night dinner at my MIL and SIL's place for this reason (CC) and it was really due to carelessness and kind of blatant on SIL's part. Now when someone asks why we don't go there anymore I say that they aren't "kosher" . It got a few people confused when I jused that phrase in conjunction with Christmas dinner, but they caught on that I was talking about "CC" issues.

Well, here I am again, aging as gracefully as possible without losing my face. Do you goofy young'uns need instructions? I have a few secrets I'll be happy to share.

1. If there's a large mirror in your bathroom, never look into it when you're just stepping out of the shower! I haven't looked at my naked body in fifteen years.

2. Never look at yourself in the full-length mirrors in dressings rooms until you are fully clothed. Even then, do not look at your face under those flourescent lights.

3. Remember that all overhead lighting is your enemy. Remodel your bathroom to exclude overhead lights; instead install soft lighting on both sides of your mirror.

4. Put on your makeup in this soft light; go out and have a good time; and never look at your face in another mirror until you get home.

Do you get my drift here? Mirrors are not our friends. That's because we women see ourselves as we really are. :( Men, on the other hand, begin to lose all touch with reality after their 30th birthday. Somehow they become vision-impaired when gazing into mirrors. Do they see wrinkles, sagging pot bellies, multiple chins, shiny bald heads? No indeedy. They only see the bodies of the 18-year-old studs they used to be! And that explains why they believe the flattery of sweet young things looking for a sugar daddy. Men are hilarious! :lol:

5. Wear long sleeves. A few years ago one of my little grandsons was affectionately squeezing my well-covered upper arm, when he suddenly stopped and gasped, "Grandmama, are you OLD?" Thereafter I added:

5-B. Allow no upper arm squeezing. :o

Dinner time, so bye y'all! Talk to you later.

Cissie, you tore me up. I started on number one and lost it. How funny. Number five I have a hard time with. When it is 115 outside and I plan on being out for awhile, I HAVE to wear cap sleeves as it is just too hot. I just try and pretend that my upper arms (and lower arms) are when I was 20 - he he. I also try and keep them tucked into my sides while I am talking with someone. And since I am a talking ostrich, they never look beyond my beak.

Cissie - - - so fantastic. Yes, I know about all those things.....and there are mirrors all over the place here. Maybe I"ll just throw black cloths over each, mourning the passing of.....my youth. :ph34r:

Ehrin - - thank you for your input! Kinda crazy here....what must you think of us.....

But POO, it is really not fair to be 44 and STILL break out AND have wrinkles at the same time (my wrinkles are actually not bad.....and two people were astonished yesterday that I was 44 - nearly shrieked. Guess that was good).

These days, girls, there are just good days and bad, appearance-wise.....fewer good days.....holy cow.....I do NOT LIKE AGING one single bit......need to join a gym again and become at least physically very strong again.....THAT part I CAN control!

CArla - how is your dizziness - - must be from that evil bite thing you have to use......

CECILE - - dingbat - - here I am, ever-so-briefly, where are you now...you will be so sad....when you see that I"ve been here - - and you were not....... :( BUT IT IS SUNDAY, my favorite day, and I am a busy little dingo-girl here....painting furniture in teh garage, and worked up a full sweat. Very hot here - what was I thinking.....and there is staring, lots and lots of staring from two restless dogs who want to play.....later, much later when it is cool we are going to do this illegal thing we do here - - - run like wild dogs through the 'hood, it's totally against the rules, no leashes - - we do it when it's dark and have never been caught....ha ha ha ha :P:P:P

Oh Lawzy now my head is truly spinning. Or spinaching...? Here I thought this thread was about meds of some sort! Who knew?

Carla, Armetta, I'm always available to give helpful advice on True Life.

Cecile, you're as crazy as I am.

And is Dances with Rivers still in that garden? She will need coffee for her aches and pains tonight. Or . . . a nice box of frozen spinach?

Good night and pleasant dreams to all.

Cissie

Let's see, must address said instructions:

1. If there's a large mirror in your bathroom, never look into it when you're just stepping out of the shower! I haven't looked at my naked body in fifteen years.

Check ... once glanced back when I was stepping in and frightened myself and the dog after I screamed.

2. Never look at yourself in the full-length mirrors in dressings rooms until you are fully clothed. Even then, do not look at your face under those flourescent lights.

Check.... those rooms are pure evil :ph34r:

3. Remember that all overhead lighting is your enemy. Remodel your bathroom to exclude overhead lights; instead install soft lighting on both sides of your mirror.

Check.... this again is why I am angry at Thomas Edison... we should have stayed with candles.

4. Put on your makeup in this soft light; go out and have a good time; and never look at your face in another mirror until you get home.

Check.... once glanced in a mirror at the mall not knowing I was looking at myself and was thinking... good googly moogly she needs some make-up.

Hi party bird!

When do we get to see a picture of you again?

Inquiring minds want to know. :huh:

Headache is getting better after musty, moldy fumes from an old photo album that Mitch cleared the pictures out of. He promptly got rid of the old album and pages so it wouldn't stink up the house. :P

The list is on the new Rachelville 2 thread......I know how much you love to read those. :lol:

Are you saying you don't like this picture of me? I was trying to pose very pretty for the camera.. :D ..it's a bit hard to smile with a beak tho...

We (Mitch and I) would prefer to think of you as better looking than a bird, eventhough it is a cute picture. From Mitch: Only Dr. Doolittle can talk to birds. :lol::P

Tell Mitch he is wrong!! My bird says, "Cmere, step-up" when he wants out of his cage! He woke up one morning and said, "Hi Baby, howya doin, I love you, cmere!" I nearly fell over laughing!! Today at lunch, Adam yelled, "Hey" then the bird yelled back, "Hey, what?"

Birds definately talk!!

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
