My hubby hasn't been able to be another child ... I'm afraid, I'm the one who's another child ... everyone in the house has been taking care of me for the past couple years. :) I have been getting better, but the only responsibility I've taken back is grocery shopping and cooking. Everyone else still does all the laundry, cleaning, etc.

Wow...six kids! Do I admire you, Carla. :)

Thanks. :rolleyes: It's fun, it really is. I like a busy, active house. I hate that school will be starting soon.

Techinically, mine wasn't an autoimmune explosion .... I also couldn't "soldier on" .... I guess it has to do with how sick you get.

Simple beings - with simple needs!! (sorry Tom) :lol:

Oh so dreadfully polite!

Puh-leeeze!! :lol: No need!

That'd be like me apologizing for calling your homeland an island of bad teeth, riding our star-spangled coattails in a desparate attempt to appear to have a smidgen of the global significance once enjoyed when the sun never set on the British Empire!!

Pshaw!

P.S. I think the rise of the (global) Empire was directly caused by Newton's calculus, which made designing the best fastest ships childs-play, leading to naval superiority. Just a theory.

Island of bad teeth...!! :blink::o Ha! The noive of you, Tom! Nikki, do you all really have poor dental health over there? My husband's relatives are all English (living there still), and I must say that all of them have pretty scary looking choppers.

Well,(as it's clearly 'have a go at the British dental system day' thought you guys might like this poem :lol: )

English Teeth, English Teeth!

Shining in the sun

A part of British heritage

Aye, each and every one.

English Teeth, Happy Teeth!

Always having fun

Champing down on bits of fish

And sausages half done.

English Teeth, HEROES' Teeth!

Here them click! and clack!

Let's sing a song of praise to them -

Three Cheers for the Brown Grey and Black.

-- Spike Milligan

In my defence - *we* (my family) see a dentist twice a year - all have had braces + brush twice a day. ;)

We don't get 'cosmetic' dentistry on the NHS (e.g whitening) .... and though my 'teef' ain't perfect (American standard) they are part of me (warts an' all) :D

Tsk! ....Husbands :rolleyes: ...what are they like eh??

It's a bloomin' cure all if you listen to them!! :lol:

AHhhhhh yes, panacea is a favorite word of mine. (I swear an herbacious combustible used to work for me.)

<hmmmm is it worth a scolding :P to mention Karin's sore throat remedy . . . >

HUSH you!!!!!!

You must all PROMISE me - today! Right NOW! Please raise your right hand and put your left on the monitor.

If I ever address some future wife as "Mom", SHOOT ME!!! :o:o

Thanks - I appreciate it.

Thanks. :rolleyes: It's fun, it really is. I like a busy, active house. I hate that school will be starting soon.

Your kids probably don't know how good they have it, but they'll sure know and remember fondly as adults. :)

Adam only calls me "Mom" when we're with the kids.

Actually Tom, if the truth were known, I should call him Dad - right Nik? :P Do you like that senario better? B) We don't refer to each other as Mom and Dad, other than references in talking to our children. There IS something very odd about that.

...Yes, that has always REALLY bothered me...couples calling each other "Mom" and "Dad". I remember having a fit one year when my husband and kids presented me with my birthday cake (before the gluten-free life!) and on it was written, "Happy Birthday Mom". AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH! "Wipe that off and get the decorative icing! My name is Emily!" :rolleyes:

Well, Silly Buddies, you won't be hearing from me for a couple of weeks (how will you ever manage?!) Nikki, we are heading across the pond tomorrow for our holiday...the first time I've ever been in Europe. We'll be four nights in London, two in Winchester, and then the last week in Paris. I will check out the teeth while I'm there! :)

Whoa two weeks!!! Sounds great :)

I have yet to go to Europe myself. Wish I'd started going long ago, there's SO much to see.

Have a fantastic fortnight Emily!

Oh & the rest of ya - I need to amend my "Shoot Me" promise. I hope it's not too late cuz I wouldn't want to be shot for just referring to a wife as Mom when it's strictly for the benefit of not confusing kids who are in the same room.

Wish I'd been in SJ *this* wkend too. Trying to lock down a place to live from ~900 miles doesn't work.

DID realize how exciting a house would be. It's been a while since I could make loud music w/out worrying about shared walls, whether sax or elec guit. Mmmmmmmm this could REALLY be good!! :):D:wacko::lol:

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
