BE is gonna do full-on gluten-free for a week to see if it helps him sleep better. After seeing his sad little face this morning when he realized he couldn't put croutons on his salad I offered to make him some. I'll use Peter's basic recipe, with added cheese (requested), but does anyone have opinions on which store bought bread would be the best to start with?

DH loves the Energy brand of Brown Rice Bread. I can't handle it (or any bread right now) but to him it tastes the best out of all of the gluten-free breads I tried. BTW, isn't rectifying supposed to make you sleep better?

Hugs,

Gots me a new baby. His name is Mocha Darth Vader Harvey :blink: Some of yous have seen his cheeky little mug. Not sure if I can get a pic loaded on here from work. He's the cutest little bunny EVAH!!! I'm so smitten with him it's funny. I've never been much of a pet person before and I had a Holland Lop when I was 20 and that was the most evil thing in the world!

Hope yuz'all had a great weekend. I got my birthday present a month early last night---Hub's sending me to HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to visit my besty before she moves back inland at the end of spring! I'm soooooooo excited! Never been on a vaca by myselph before!! :D:D:D

We saw a bad movie last night.

I tried to watch Inception the other night. Made it 30min before I had to turn it off. Too confusing and couldn't keep my attention. Soooooo, I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants instead. Good movie :D

Have you seen Red?

We have that at the top of our queue with Catfish, which I REALLY wanna see (NO spoilers pleeeeease!!) but it doesn't come out till next month. So I'm forced to catch up on the 7th season of One Tree Hill ;)

BTW, isn't rectifying supposed to make you sleep better?

Hugs,

Loey

Our alarm clock went crazy this morning - instead of trying to suggest we get up, it tried to throw us out of bed :unsure:

Then even after we was up (at 6:03 a.m., it kept trying to throw us ouf, even when I was in the hair salon at 11:10 a.m. and multiple times before and after that. I guess the Earthquake Commission will argue for weeks as to whether this was a new :rolleyes: earthquake (5.1) or an aftershock of the old one. This aftershock has had its own aftershocks :rolleyes: , some of which (although lesser in magnitude) were stronger in experience because of the proximitty and shallowness. The one at the salon was the scariest I have experienced but was only a 3.7 and threw stuff off the shelves and made cracks in the walls. The alarm clock (while it shook the bed pretty good) only succeeded in scaring the bejeezus out of the cat, but was a 5.1. These have been lots of 4's and high 3's all day, some of which I felt and some I didn't. They say we should expect to experience these every 4-6 weeks for a year :o Now remember, I didn't even go through the first one, and I am starting to get a big jangled. We had the assessors through here last week but that may not be the end of it :blink:

Oh well, keeps ya on yer toes!!! :lol:

We have about 8 inches of snow here. It isn't moving or shaking, just sort of sitting there. It's 11 F so its cold, too.

FINALLY go to see new GI today. Clark called and told me to pick him up at work on the way (next town over) and he'll go with me. Will let you all know how it goes. Might not be until tomorrow as Tony has dentist appointment when I return.

Makes you kinda long for the Texa$$ sauna and the hurricanes, don't it? :P Me, I just wish someone would stop feeding the quarters into the vibrating bed. :rolleyes: This is also the best ski season anyone can remember at Tahoe and the snow pack has double the normal moisture content so CA will have plenty of water this summer (or phlooding during the snowmeltl).

I lived where you did my whole life and I also never saw a winter like this one. Took Tony to the dentist today and people were canceling appointments for tomorrow left and right. Glad I have no plans. Just going to turn on my fireplace and stay cozy.

Saw the new GI today and I REALLY like him. He spent and hour and twenty minutes with me. I was glad Clark was with me because I got a serious case of brain fog. I definitely have celiac but he thinks that instead of IBS it might be my back (I've had back problems my entire life). I asked him about disability and he told me it has t be initialed by my FP. Hopefully she'll be amenable to it, I do have to have a repeat colonoscopy and endoscopy but he'll do them at the same time. He's also going to do full blood work. So I still have a ways to go before I know my total diagnosis. My old GI here "said" they faxed my records but he never got them. He'll send for them on his end.

Keep warm my psillies!

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. they just increased our snow from 3-6 to 5-8

Ooooohhhhh!!!!!.........So YOU'RE to blame for this mess! <_<

2 hour delay today because it's too friggin cold for the kids to stand out at the bus stops. 2 degrees actual temperature at the moment....don't know what the windchill is. I'm sure in another hour it'll be way better :rolleyes:

Ahhhhh . . . but come August, we'll be looking for a little cloud cover.

Two hour delay here also . . . huh, imagine that? . . . the good news was that we found out last night so we got to sleep in which was about an extra hour for me.

Glad you like you're new GI, LowEee. I certainly didn' appreciate the one we had until he moved away and I got stuck with an Arse of a doc.

Ours canceled this morning, so I got a call at 5:30 AM <_< I tried really hard, but couldn't get back to sleep.

Our kids are made of hardier stock. We don't get delays or cancellations as often as you do :P

Counting today, my kids have been to school 8 days this year. ( one of those days they got out 2 hours early). Wouldn't want to wear the teachers out!

2 of the 3 snow days, my boys have been a school to work on the robot. It's not like they couldn't get there!

We are supposed to get 1 inch today just to freshen things up. Then 5 inches on Sunday.

      Am I nuts?

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
