Cannot wait to hear the report of your visit at said in-laws, R... . .....perhaps you should show up at the house with a big satanic tattoo covering one arm, and "666" scrawled across your forehead. Stare menacingly at everyone the entire visit, and say nothing. Just moan quietly the odd time. :huh:

Um, router fixed. He came in, unplugged it, plugged it back in, and things were good. :huh:

Jeesh--fer the most part, one could hear a pin drop around here :lol:

Anywho, fer those still checkin in.....I'm taking advantage of Mark working late to start cookin fer the trip. I have a huge batch of ham and scalloped potatoes in the oven (some for later, some to freeze in to indy portions), mashed sweet potatoes wif maple syrup and butter, zucchini and onions, and I did a pot roast the other day.

Still have a couple more things to make but now I can easily finish over the weekend. Should get me to Joisey and through Thanksgiving Day till I can get to the store on Friday.

Of course this all hinges on the purchase of a car fridge.....said purchase to occur this weekend. :rolleyes: I've managed to do wifout one till now......

I shoulda spoke up and said something. Last two times we couldn't get online hubby insisted it was the ISP's fault. The first time I said reset the router and he did, and minutes later it was working. Second time, he said no way it was the router (I can't crawl in to where the geniuses who built the house positioned it) and said to call the ISP. After half an hour online with HongKong or Mumbai or wherever (me, because he can't hear or understand them) we ended up with "reset the router" and guess what, another coincidence :o

The sweet potatoes and the turkey are no-brainers, but I need some ideas for the rest of it. Everything is sooooo.....predictable.........boring.

But I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen.....kills me back, it does.

Realized today that I am not working T-day. Was babbling on to my technician about who comes in when to start the experiment and suddenly realized that the Thursday experiments don't start until the following week. I'm like all happy and cheerful and my technician looks at me and says "You planned it this way. Don't you remember????"

No, I don't remember, but I am quite happy to discover that I occasionally plan ahead.

Goin' to m' bro's house. He said he doesn't know what his wife will be cooking, but there'll be plenty of wine, so I'm in.

I suppose I could, theoretically, be drunk for four days at least....

Rae-rae and I will have to call each other at the height of our intoxications.

......oh...wait....her iphone talks tiny. I'll have to find some loud speakers.

Crap........ .. just detest these simple li'l solutions, absolute no-brainers, that I fail to even consider, but the cha-ching techie sure knows about them. He walks in, unplugs, then plugs back in, smiles politely, then charges for an hour.

Going to Dad's for Thanksgiving . . . he hates turkey. So we are either having fried chicken (roasted chicken would look too much like turkey) or perhaps meatloaf (shaped in the form of a turkey? - would that be too much like turkey?).

Nikki - hope you can get to the bottom of Tel's issues . . . I'm getting worried. Keep us informed.

Em - love the new av.

Rayshell - holy crap (<--- get it? HOLY crap?) about them in-laws!!! So a five day drunk is not even a whole bottle of vodka??? Good luck with that trip.

Haven't been posting much but still reading. In case I miss the departure dates, I hope everyone has safe travels!!

Indy portions :lol: :lol:

Hope you find an appropriate meat, Jan-it :P

We dodged a bullet--could have gotten 7+ inches of rain yesterday/today but only ended up getting 2 or so from some disturbance in the Gulf.....it's still grumbling thunder, but should start clearing up soon.

My little Lylie-bear is back!!

He had to go back to have a few random tooth chips taken out that were still causing him pain. I think he is pain free for the first time in about a year! He's been sitting on my lap and that hasn't happened for a very long time.

I suppose I'll know he's really back when he takes out that little upstart, Lefty.

So good to have the boys fighting. :)

Yes, Nikkers.... . ...... :( . . . ...please keep us in the loop re. Tel's health stuff. Very stressful for the lot o' you, I'm sure.

I am SO lucky -- I have an unbelievably healthy DH. Never sick, never injured (insert wood-knocking here).. . . .always on his game. I have very little to complain about with that guy, except his constant flatulence even gluten-free.

Oh, and there are some things that come along with him, part of the package, that warrant much grumbling (read: outlaws).. .... . ....... . ..

Oh! AND he does not notice when I get my hair cut.

Or lose five pounds.

AND he puts the toilet paper roll on the holder with the paper feeding over the top.

Gads, what I live with.

:lol:

He can come live with me any time!! Isn't that what all sensible (as opposed to having been taught the "correct" way) do it?? :lol: That way you can see where the end is and don't have to go fumbling underneath or reach too far down (depending on positioning). *I* consider the underfeed to be the *wrong* way, so there!!! :lol:

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress! 
    • tiffanygosci
      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it!  Don't continue to eat gluten!  The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it.  Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually.  There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed as early.    Fertility problems, gallbladder removal, diabetes, osteoporosis and mental health challenges are future health issues you are toying with.   To dispel fear, learn more about what you are afraid of.  Be proactive.  Start or join a Celiac group in your area.  Learn about vitamins and nutrition.   Has your mother been checked for Celiac?  It's inherited.  She may be influencing you to eat gluten as a denial of her own symptoms.  Don't let friends and family sway you away from the gluten-free diet.  You know your path.  Stick to it.  Be brave.
