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.

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      I understand why that feels frustrating, because the labeling can definitely seem confusing. In the case of products like King Arthur’s gluten-free bread flour that contain gluten-free wheat starch, the wheat starch has been specially processed to remove the gluten proteins that trigger celiac disease. Because it originates from wheat, U.S. labeling laws s...

      I'm not sure why "colonoscopy" keeps coming up for you, again it would be an endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, but it seems that Kaiser should still have your records. If you were diagnosed by them in the 1990's using a blood test and endoscopy, then you definitely have celiac disease, and hopefully you've been gluten-free since that time. You should...

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      Exactly. What about King Arthur gluten free flour selling a gluten free bread flour containing “gluten free wheat starch” and says in allergens “contains wheat.” I don’t care if it contains a trace amount of wheat ok’ed by the food industry. For a celiac…100% gluten free and that’s all is acceptable. Hard alcohols and ciders and hard seltzers say gluten free...

People may not even be aware of symptoms during this process, but it is causing damage to the body. As trents has said, the gut lining normally recovers on a strict gluten-free diet, and this happens much faster in children than in adults.

I thought I would get answers to be put through unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree and she wasn't listening to me for help rather than screening me for celiac! Im already diagnosed seeking medical help.I did all the appointments ask from her and when I wanted my records se t to my pcp, thats when the with holding my records when I repeatedly messaged, it was down played the seriousness and I was labeled unruly when I asked why am I going through all this when its the celiac name that IS what my issue and All my ailments surrounding it related. I am dea6eoth the autoimmune part though my blood work is supposedly fabulous. Im sibo positive,HLA-DQ2 positive, dealing with skin, eye and now ms.I was employed as a bus driver making good money, I loved it for the few years my body let me do until I was yet again fired.i went to seek medical help because my body isn't well just to be made a disability chaser. Im exhausted,glutenfree, no lawyer will help and disability is in limbo thanks to the lax on my health from the fabulous none celiac Google bay area dr snd team. Its not right.

      Concerning GP advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @EssexMum! First, let me correct some misinformation you have been given. Except in the case of what is known as "refractory" celiac disease, which is very rare, it is not true that the "fingers" will not grow back once a consistently gluten free diet is adopted. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition whereby the ingestion of gluten triggers an inflammatory process that damages the millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the lining of the small bowel. We call this the "villous lining". Over time, continued ingestion of gluten on a regular basis results in the wearing down of these fingers which greatly reduces the surface area of this very important membrane. It is where essentially all the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed. So, losing this surface area results in inefficiency in nutrient absorption and often to medical problems related to nutrient deficiencies. Again, if a gluten-free diet is consistently observed, the villous lining of the small bowel should rebound. "We was informed that her body absorbs the gluten rather then rejecting it and that is why she doesn't react to the gluten straight away, it will be a build up and then the pains start. " That sounds like unscientific BS to me. But it does sound like your stepdaughter may have a type of celiac disease we know as "silent" celiac disease, meaning, she is asymptomatic or at least the symptoms are not intense enough to usually notice. She is not completely asymptomatic, however, because you stated was experiencing tummy aches off and on. Cristiana gives some good suggestions about ordering "safe" food for your stepdaughter from restaurant menus in Europe. You must realize that as the step parent who only has her part of the time you have no real control over how cooperative her other set of parents are with regard to your stepdaughter's needs to eat gluten free. It sounds like they don't really understand the seriousness of the matter. This is very common in family settings where other members are ignorant about celiac disease and the damage it can do to body systems. So, they don't take it seriously. The best you can do is make suggestions. Perhaps print out some info about celiac disease from the Internet to send them. Being inconsistent with the gluten free diet keeps the inflammation smoldering and delays or inhibits healing of the villous lining.
