Morning/afternoon all! :D

Morgan.....like the new pic.

We decided to start school a week early.....so tomorrow it is. Gotta get a few more art supplies and need to print out some more aids then we are set to go....I think. Talitha is very excited. Maybe I'll be a better writer and a little more artistic when I get done teaching all three kids.....then again, maybe not. :lol:

Yea, where is everyone?

Did you go to St. Paul's or are you going tonight? I think the students generally like the 5:30 or 9PM masses.

I went this morning...I have some dorm meeting and a bar-b-que tonight.

Tavi,

I don't know....we talk sometimes on myspace too. But she responds quicker on here. We both seem to be on here a lot so the conversation just happens.

Yea, it's just because I saw her here. We text on our phones and talk, too. Usually we're both on here to chat with all of you, and think of things to say to each other.

I know I tried to edit it out because I thought it sounded rude, but I had already been quoted. I didn't mean it to sound rude, I was just curious. I must go hang my head in shame now :ph34r::P:ph34r:B):ph34r:

Me, too.

Morgan's been a huge help to me, and believe it or not, more of our chatter is off this forum. It's just a habit ... I think we even drive my husband/her father crazy when we're together. We text and talk every day, too. I'd email her if she ever checked her email!

Plus, none of you were around last night or this morning when we got on!!!! ;) That made it seem like we were using this as our own personal chat room!! :P

I check my email twice a day (sometimes more) bc I have to watch out for emails having to do with school. But I am on here a lot more than that.

Ok as long as I didn't hurt anyones feelings! Boy, now I know why I don't have any friends! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I really was just curious and then when I re-read it I thought it sounded rather rude. I really do enjoy seeing you chatter at each other, it reminds me of myself and my daughters.

Anyway, I tried to edit before anyone read it but it was already quoted. So sorry :(:(:(

Thank-you for your forgiveness, on with the Carla and Morgan show, please!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Good afternoon Rachelville,

This is as deserted as I have ever seen it :( a very sad sight...

Tavi, if it's any consolation I am completely in the dark over what you posted :lol: , but I tend to miss most everything and be a little on the oblivious side!

I also want to say that I enjoy the B Girls conversations, you guys have a great mother/daughter relationship, that seems rare these days. It's been fun being in the midst of all of it :lol:

Andrea, so you made a decision on starting school!!!! That's great :D Best of luck getting started, I know it will keep you very busy but it's going to be a wonderful experience for you and the kids. Check in when you can.

Julie,

Checking in. :D

Just got back from getting all (hopefully) of the art supplies for the year.....plus some. :P

It has been quiet in here. A lot of people must be getting in their last bit of fun before school starts for the year again.

Welcome Carrie, glad to have you. :D

Prince Edward island. My dad was there about 10 years ago during the fall colors. He loved it. That was when he was traveling in the RV. He even got to meet my husband's mother before I did. He stopped on his way through Pennsylvania.

It's been quieter here lately, so not too hard to keep up with. Almost everything is chit chat anyway.

I grew up on PEI and it is a beautiful place. I highly recommend going there for a vacation in late July/early August and going to the beaches. They are gorgeous.

Carrie, I LOVE your new avatar! I didn't know your wedding was so soon. I thought it was farther in the future.

My 8.5 year old son is reading Anne of Green Gables right now. I convinced him to read it. I said that the book was really really good, but he might get a bit hung up on the writing style because it's sixty years old and the story took place longer ago than that. We take turns, I'll read out loud and then he'll do silent reading for a while. I think he's enjoying it.

Wow, seems like so much is going on since I last read here. I am just here long enough to read a few and check in with everyone.

We are headed to the neurologist in PA tomorrow for my sons first visit with one since he was discharged from his stay in the hospital. They are checking him for seizures and such. I am a bit nervous about it. I just have to keep trying to think positive. I would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts. That is really the only thing going on here right now.

I hope everyone is well, and I am going to try to check here more regularly now. Take care everyone!!!

Enjoy the last bit of summer!!!

Hi Carrie! You look gorgeous in your picture, and your dress is fabulous! Sounds like such a pretty place you got married :)

My face is breaking out, what is that all about?? It hasn't broken out forever. The only thing new I have been doing is:

1) Eliminated my occasional indulgence in dairy products

2) Started using Bare Minerals make-up

3) Started taking cod liver oil

........Anybody know what it could be????

Off to watch the Emmys, anybody else watching??

Julie,

I have no idea....shouldn't be the dairy as you weren't having it much.

Possibly makeup.

What brand of cod liver oil did you get?

Stephanie,

Good luck tomorrow.....please keep us updated.

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
