I try to find humor in everything (forgive me, but even funerals - like the time my grandfather's brother was laid out in coffin without socks on - shoes but no socks. Now my sister & I recalled that he never wore socks even in winter and it just made us giggle to see that. That sent us into the worst case of giggles where we had to leave the funeral home and walk outside a bit).

Hehe...just imagining this has me kind of giggling too. :lol:

Gluten Screener....that sounds great to me Debbie! I suspect some individuals in particular will keep you on you toes. ;)

I just looked at where you live. A little bit too far for our daughters to meet up. :(

Wouldn't that be nice. Isn't anyone in here near KY?

Welcome, Debbie, consider this your official citizenship document... (I'm the village calligrapher)

I wish I had your gluten screening expertise in my kitchen after the boys have been in there... it's scary!

Last night my husband gave her his school desk from when he was her age. She just looked so cute sitting in it. I was touched but then again....I'm touched by everything it seems. I'm sappy to say the least.

That would have touched me too. How very sweet. :)

We, of course, will just have to paint it pink & purple though. I think most 6 year olds would put in the same request.

Match.com. The thing is that I was online deleting all of my addresses & switching email addresses & for some reason I looked at his picture & just sent him a line that if he ever wanted to talk that he could drop me a line. I didn't have my picture posted because I really wasn't expecting to meet anyone. I was basically wasting time & looking out of curiosity. He said he never responded to any emails or anything without a pic but for some reason did to mine. Anyway, here we are now.

That made me laugh...I'm sure the little beagle wasnt amused though. :P

Lisa,

Sorry things didnt go well today. :(

Chelse,

You must be one tough penguin! I cant believe you made it! I couldnt have lasted a week......I'm proud of you! :D

Beagle -- or as we call her - the bagel, is always nuts. She is pampered and was the queen of the house for 8 years, until the two year old came around.

Lisa - please feel better - politics are just that -

Chelsea -- have beer too.

I love to make people laugh - I try to find humor in everything (forgive me, but even funerals - like the time my grandfather's brother was laid out in coffin without socks on - shoes but no socks.

Ok, I find humor at funerals also. Please forgive me. But I want to remember the good things about people. For instance, I went to a funeral for a fellow rugger and I could not stop laughing at a picture his family posted in the reception area --- it was the young man wearing nothing but an apron running down the aisle of a grocery store. He was the produce manager! Now mind you, he was the quite type, so this made me really laugh that he cut loose.

Hi Picard!

I wish I could be like that. I guess for me, everyone in my life that I have lost have died so tragically, and the sadness too overwhelming.

I've never really had anyone close to me die. I have been very lucky. However, my grandfather is in very poor health & is day to day lately. He had his 93rd birthday I believe just a few days ago. I don't know how I'll deal with that when it happens.

No way! I don't want that kind of punishment! Beer absolutely tears me up.

Although at this point, how would I know the difference :huh:

Our daughter is also NUTS about pink or purple.

I havbe a request for some warm wishes/prayers. I am waiting to hear on a HUGE posting (the Greenland thing) by the end of the week. I really want this, even though it will be hard away from the family. However, it is great for my job. I'll keep you all updated.

Hi everyone, glad to find that Rachelville continues joyfully. I am so impressed by how graciously these growing pains have been handled.

My computer is still not working as far as this site goes. Is anyone else running Windows 2000? Yesterday I felt just horrible about it and my sweetie actually offered to leave his work computer for me but I said no, I'll be O.K. :(

Ryan,

I've been wondering about the transfer. We will keep this is our prayers.

Thank you for the Deglutinzer/security designation. Yep, that's me constantly wiping the kitchen table to avoid any CC after I make my lunch (before I go to work every morning).

Switenauer that's a nice internet match story.

Good luck Ryan

Yes, pink and purple are girly colors. I love when little girls do little girl things and don't grow up too fast.

Rinne,

I don't know what to tell you about your computer. Have you cleaned up internet history, cookies etc. We have windows xp now although the operating system shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I tried to respond earlier but my computer was acting schizoid. It's fixed by rebooting. We really need to send it in but it's not life threatening and I don't think I'd do well without my computer for 1-2 weeks.

I still like pink & I'm twice your age. I'd love a pink room now. Ha! When I was little my room was lime green. Yuck!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
