SARAH. :( :( :(

I am in shock and deep pain for you. Please hang in there. Please hold on. Take refuge at your parents. Come on here and vent. You have my prayers, and the prayers of many on here.

I am just so sorry, but Patti's right, you ARE a strong and tenacious girl. I know you are blinded by pain and shock at this time.....please take care of yourself.

many, many hugs and prayers for you. Going to have a prayer session now about many things, in fact, while waiting for the guy from AT&T.

Hold on.....hold on tight. You are an amazing girl, an incredible mother, with a great talent for writing and storytelling, a great wit, an amazing sense of humor, and a tender heart.

God has you in the palm of His hand. :)

We are praying.

"Take refuge at your parents. "

Sarah, I as mentioned in my PM to you, I am familiar with North Carolina Law. Do not leave your house, yourself or with you children.

Take refuge with your parents, but don't move out.

Jestgar Rising Star

Oh Sarah, I have no words. Cry and yell and scream and do whatever you need to let all the horror out. We're all here to hold your hand, and we'll all be there when you get to the other side.

Oh sarah- I don't even know what to say- I am SO sorry :wub: :wub: :wub:

this is a good point, Lisa......why would SHE have to move out? Seems that Brian should have to leave and let her stay there.

I can't stay. I could never afford to live here on my own, with no one to watch the kids while I work... I can't even stand looking around at this house that we struggled so hard for. Just seeing our toothbrushes together in a cup in the bathroom... Every time I think of it, more tears come... I trusted him so much... with everything... We've had problems... but I always believed we'd work through them because we loved each other. Now I know he doesn't feel that and hasn't for a long time.

I don't know how I'll ever get through this... the pain is so huge... the betrayal... I've never felt anything like it. It's... horror.

Everything I dreamed and imagined for our future is gone. I still love him, even now. I don't want this to happen. I'm crushed. He threw it all away. And I never saw it coming.

Patti has my email and can share it with everyone. I'll probably keep checking in as much as I can. I do have a great relationship with my parents. But I've never felt so alone and abandoned in my life.

Sarah- My heart truly is breaking for you right now. Please let us know what we can do- you know what we Psillies can do when we put our heads together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

You have a huge safety net of people you've never met, but care about you just as much as if we've been close neighbors for years. You're free-falling at the moment, but you'll never hit the ground. We are here for you.

Sarah, I don't even have any words. I am just so very sorry, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jess......this was wonderful

Sarah........your in all our thoughts and those of us who pray are doing that I'm sure.

Yes, free-falling is a good way to put it.

Please just go to stay with parents if you feel better there--- but don't move a thing out at this point......I so agree with this

Find where your comfortable, if the house is painful for you for this moment......your parents is a option till you can get your bearings.

Aren't there laws about him being required to support his children, including a place for them to live? Sarah, it's probably more than you can deal with right now, but maybe your mom can start checking into things. It sounds like MG Lisa has some knowledge already, maybe she can help your mom get started and point her towards where to look for more info.

Sarah--

We're all here for you--you're our friend--the exact same as if we lived down the block....Anything we can do to somehow make this easier on you, just name it.

Now is not the time for anything but putting one foot in front of the other and somehow getting through the day. You're on my mind constantly and my heart hurts.

Sarah-

Patti is right, we would do anything we could for you. I cannot keep thinking about you. Don't move anything out of that house yet. I wish i could be there to help in anyway I could, but even though we can't be there physically we are on there with you mentally.

Sillies-I am working from home today, we ended up at the vet's at 6am this morning, Landen too since he was sleeping over. Lucky has a blockage and we are forcing meds today. If all goes well it should pass, but if not we will have to have surgery.....

Poor Lucky....that's what Allo had, an intestinal blockage, when he had to have the IV fluids. He passed it on his own with the help of the extra fluids and a soft food that the vet gave us.

Did they suggest fluids first?

Ok Sillies....I need your prayers for someone else now, besides my poor kitty.

Landen needs your thoughts as well. He is currently at the hospital getting CT scan's done. He took a spill Friday night and hit his poor noggin off the corner of Jen's entertainment unit. I went down and checked him out for her since Becky was watching him, he was laughing and had a goose egg but otherwise fine, Jen was concerned but not overly worried since children do fall. Sunday this poor kid fell over backwards, he is learning to stand and can walk along furniture, well he has been attempting the solo stand and it didnt work out, he hit his head to the floor when he fell. This time Jen was with him. Neither time did he really cry or have any outward symptoms.

Well since Jen has noticed something odd....he seems to trance out. He wont blink and pinching a toe wont even stir him....You can call his name and he wont turn his head....It last sometimes 10-15 seconds. Well he spent the night with us last night, Jen was working. He slept fine, no problems there. Well on the way to the Vets this morning, he did the trance thing to me in the car. I had leaned back to check on him at a red light and he had his ring of keys toy in his mouth and was just sitting there looking off into space, not even chewing it was as if the toy was jus t resting on his lips. He wouldnt move his eyes or even blink as I called his name. I touched his toes nothing and then I waved a loud clangy toy in front of his face that I had up with me, and it was like he was oblivous to everything in his own little world....eventually he turned and looked at me and laughed as if nothing ever happened.

So Jen and I talked and she had not called the Dr thinking she was being overprotective and such and since is a a nurse on the Neuro unit she was just worried she was being paranoid. Well after alking to her Dr and he said it is possible Landen can have a small brain bleed she left for the ER. I heard from her last at 4 since they wanted to do a round of other tests....I just tried her again and got a voicemail, so I am hoping to at least get a text back.

So please add him to our prayer/thoughts list.

From Aunt Amanda and his Uncle John!!!

Thanks guys!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
    • Matthias
      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
