Julie: Hate to say it but it might be the make-up.

Hi Tavi! Oh no, do you think it can be the make-up?? What are the odds, I must be the only one that breaks out from the Bare Minerals, a make-up that is suppose to clear your skin up <_<

Hi Andrea :):) - I use Carlson Cod Liver Oil

That is supposed to be one of the best cod liver oils out there.

Makes me suspect the makeup even more. :(

Hi Julie:

I am betting on the make-up. I have heard that from other people. :unsure::unsure:

Carrie--Yes, please don't be a stranger here! :D

Julie--It could be the makeup--but it has the opposite effect for me. I think my skin looks better since I've been using it.

Also, I would suspect the cod liver oil, only because I get face oilyness and breakouts from soy oil (Crisco). Carlson is a great brand--very pure.

Before I gave either one up, I'd try eliminating one, and then later the other and see what happens.

Could it be hormonal? I only ask because right now, my face is breaking out a little and is oiler than usual. I'm in Perimenopause (I know you're too young for that) and around the time I should get my period, whether I actually get it or not, I get symptoms that include the breakouts.

It seems like we're always trying to figure out the cause of *something* :angry::D

Well, enough skulking thorugh the R-Ville back alleys for the last few days.

Sorry I havenot spoken up much, I've been here, just not felt very well and did not feel like talking much.

Carrie -- Welcome to Rachelville, and yes you do make a beautiful Bride. I've been to PEI and I agree that the fall is the best time to go. That whole province is amazing. I hope the wedding was awesome.

Stephanie -- Please keep us updated, and I'll send some prayers your way.

Morgan and Carla -- You two always make me laugh. Carla, I hope you are not "empty nesting" too much now. Morgan, I hope classes are going well, and you can still find time to enjoy the other aspects of college life. I took 3 years of credits in 2 years, and somedays I am living to regret it.

Everyone -- I need some advice. I said I'd share, so here it goes. 3 and a half years ago when I met my wife, I was still, in the legal sense only, married. Being a dumb male, I lied and told her it was already over. Truth is I was still waiting for the paper work.

Now that I am going off to Greenland in a few months (for a whole year) she is having some trust issues. I know I brought this on myself, and she is right in some ways to not trust me. I know she loves me. I also know that she is the BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME!!! :wub: How can I show her I mean that, and get her to at least TRY to trust that I am coming home again.

Sorry to ramble, and sorry if that doesn't make much sense, but it is driving me crazy. I never meant to be so stupid, and I know I should have told her from day one. Especially since the first words out of her mouth on our first date was "I have a 10 year old son".

I also hope this does not getmy citizenship in Rachelville revoked. I hope you guys can help. I feel safe here.

You are safe here. ;)

I would have a difficult time with my husband going away for a year ... I just watched "The Goodbye Girl" when I visited my grandmother. The boyfriend is leaving to act in a movie, and she's used to her men walking out on her and not coming back. He leaves his guitar and asks her to have it restrung, then she realized he's coming home. I know it's just a movie, but if there was some way you could show her in an important manner that she's the one and you'll be back, that might help.

Can you take her? I would think it would be a great family experience.

Honestly, I can understand how she feels, and I don't mean this in a bad or judgemental way to you, but you wanted to go knowing you'd be away for a year. That would hurt me deeply. It would hurt me knowing there was something that meant more to my husband than spending every possible moment with me. I don't really know what could make up for that ... it's a tough question and there's no clear answer. Take her with you!!!

Hi Ryan,

First, I want to say that I'm glad you feel safe here--I do, too. :)

The trust issue is a tough one. I think that it takes time to trust again once there's been a breech. You've been married/together over 3 years now, and although this is individual, she should have a good idea about how you really feel about her and your marriage by now--even with her doubts. Forgiveness, I think is easier than actually forgetting.

Keep the communication open, and while you're still home, do your best (often) to let her know how much your life together means to you. Holding things in will only confuse her, and the imagination can be a dangerous thing! Ladies like to talk things through--be patient and be available to talk when she needs to.

It goes without saying that after you are in Greenland, as often as you can/are allowed, call, write, email--stay connected. I can't emphasize that enough--stay as connected as humanly possible.

Living apart is difficult, no doubt about that, but you can come out the other side just fine.

And Ryan, don't be too hard on yourself--we've all done things in our lives that we're not proud of--we can't change what happened (no matter how much we'd like to ;) ) but we can get past it and learn from it.

I hope you stay too Carrie :):)

Patti- Thanks for your input about my break-out, I really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions :) I have taken fish oil before and not had a problem, this is just the first time I have done pure cod liver oil. I unfortunately, and I'm a little in denial about it because I wanted it to work, suspect the make-up. As I've used it more and more my face has gotten worse, it also would make my face burn a little. I am going to take your advice and eliminate the make-up for a while and see what happens.

Thanks again Tavi and Andrea for your input as well :)

Hi Carla, are you feeling any better today?

GOOD LUCK MORGAN WITH YOUR FIRST DAY OF CLASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan, I am not married, but I have been in a very long term relationship if that counts for anything, and I guess if I were your wife I would want to hear the words you just expressed here to us, that she is the best thing that happened to you and you will be coming home. I am big on communication, and agree with Patti, to be open and talk to her as much as possible and keep connected in any way you can.

I am like Carla, I would not like the separation either....but I would also understand that this job was very important to you and an opportunity you could not pass up, so I would make that sacrafice. But that is just me.

Carrie, you look gorgious in your picture. You're welcome in R'ville.

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!!!

I hope that all goes well :)

I'm glad I can make you laugh :D And I just got back from my first class....about to go off for my next. It's going great. I like how it's working out. I was really nervous this morning (turned out to be for no reason) and now I'm nervous again. I'm off to Spanish....but I'm scared that I won't understand him :unsure:

Julie--Yea, if the makeup burns, and you've noticed a pattern--that must be it. I understand the "denial" aspect--I continued to eat chips that I suspected were sometimes making me sick! I really liked them, and didn't want to give them up, too. But once I did, it made a positive difference. I guess.. With me, it's hard to figure out sometimes :lol:

Morgan--Good luck today!!! :D

I'm so glad your first day is going well Morgan. I was always nervous the first day too, with each class, until I got myself there and situated- I think that's quite normal :)

Carla- what can we do to get you better?? :)

Patti- Yeah, that "denial" aspect gets us everytime, doesn't it :lol: The more I thought about it, and went back over everything, I realized I was given little signs that the make-up wasn't working out for me, the burning especially. But did I listen? No. I kept using it thinking it's going to improve, or the burning must be something else. Oh well, we live and learn I guess :lol:

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
