Ryan, great news about your son!!

Sarah, I find cooking and baking therapuetic too. I'm glad it is helping you and keeping your mind busy :)

Emily, Ripper and family are coming to America today!!! B)

Have A phab time.....oh AND the psilly summit (soooo jealous)...lucky girl :rolleyes:

Listen up moms! STOP WASHING YOUR CHILDREN!!

....and yet my son still got it :rolleyes::lol:

OK- here's a silly:

Open Original Shared Link and makes EVERYBODY happy! :lol:

T'is good stuff that ozzie milk ;)

Well, DS has moved home!!!! We are so excited.

A year ago, he moved back to my MIL's house in Ontario, and we have had very little contact with him since. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, he called and told us he wanted to come home. We bought him a ticket and picked him up last night. He's spent most of the day with his friends, but actually came home on time for supper for the first time...well... almost ever actually. He seems to have found some manners as well.

Part of me, I must admit, is still waiting for the other show to drop so to speak and for things to go back to the chaos filled mess they were a year ago. Is that bad?

Oh well, for now we are enjoying his company. I am glad he is home, as I missed the additional testosterone support around here.

Happy Canada Day! We are off to watch the local fire works display tonight.

Ryan!...didn't know you had a son :D ....good news he's coming home (I think!)

GADS - how old is your son??....I have 3 boys but my youngest boy (13yrs) we nicknamed the devil child

(see avatar - & what *I* would like to do to him!!)

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

He tries the patience of a saint - always getting into some sort of trouble - attitude in abundance and is currently grounded FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

<sometimes wish I had a MIL he could stay with>

I'm gritting my teeth and hoping one day he will turn out to be a decent human being--(maybe? :unsure::lol: )

Yes!!! This is most encouraging....some real good news and not me trying to inject some levity with stories of packing me arse in shorts or sumphin :lol:

Packing yer arse Patti :lol:

Aww Peter - what a lovely little chap he was :)

Every July 1, I wonder why Canada celebrates this day, but not Open Original Shared Link. Oh, probably because nobody would want another holiday in December. But in terms of the development of Canada as a country, Open Original Shared Link, was much more significant than July 1, 1867.

See, now this is why Peter is the 'Oracle'

I love his snippets of information!! :D

ONE pair underwear

Em, I live in a house of 4 males :rolleyes: ....am constantly trying to teach the concept of a clean pair everyday :lol:

HAVE FFFFUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Meant to add....

Sarah, it's great you've found baking therapeutic!! (dear gaaawd I have NO patience for it!)

I found gardening very relaxing....helps you work off any excess 'nervous energy', painting, drawing, reading also.

It's a bit of a cliche I know (and most probably not practical whilst the boys are off school for the summer) but exercize is my saving grace....it keeps the demons at bay - lifts my mood - makes me feel a little better about meself etc...etc.....BUT I've never been any good at self motivation, that's why I now go to 'group classes'

I do a mixture throughout the week of aerobic, weights, yoga and pilates (my favoUrites)... very calming :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Mornin Nik :D Looks like we're the only ones here.....

I know what you mean about the exercise--I feel better after, but it's really hard to get motivated to do it. I hate to sweat :lol:

I imagine Emily, fresh off late-night fireworks and packing, is heading off for the States as we speak. She'll be here for Independance Day, so more fireworks! :P

Re: yer 13 year old troublemaker--he's testing his boundries and your patience at the same time. I had one like that, and he's now a hard-working, tax paying member of society (!) :lol: Yer a good mum, and yer boys are gonna turn out fine :D

Yeah, but after a couple days they could get pretty ripe :P

Sounds like what John packs at times as well.

Morning Sillies.....all I need to do is make it through today and then I am off the rest of the week :) Still not feeling the best, but maybe after my morning meetings I will go home...bye

Shoot, I wanted to say safe and happy travels before you left! Well done on being able to fit in a run on such a harried, busy morning! Being the runner that you are I may need to pick your brain about IT band syndrome when you come back. I have been bothered by a snapping hip every time I take a step and annoying knee pain and thankfully the xray was clean so my doc thinks it's my IT band. I guess this is common amongst runners. I'm hoping physiotherapy will do the trick for me.

Anyway, I hope you can hear me from the highway: TRAVEL SAFELY AND HAVE FUNNNNNN! :D (red and blue for your American adventure -- white wouldn't show up ;))

Bon Voyage Emily! Safe and fun travels for you and your family :)

I'm gritting my teeth and hoping one day he will turn out to be a decent human being--(maybe? :unsure::lol:

With you as his mum Nikki, how can he not turn out a-ok :D

Sven has that way about him, don't ya think?! ;)

I LURVE yoga and pilates too! The yoga part makes us fellow yogis Nikki :lol:

He's almost 16, and yes...someday we hope he too will return to being a normal human being.

I can also sympathize with the suitcase packing this as well, but in some cases that's all that may also be in their dressers, which is why it never ends up in the laundry! :)<_<

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      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.
    • trents
      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.
