GREAT news!!!!! It was hemorrhoids (though I still don't like the doctor). Tony doesn't eat fruits or veggies (fruit does upset his stomach and he's allergic to some veggies but not all) so he's taking fiber tablets.

I am going out more. Rob and I went to the beach early and will be heading out soon for a mall (half hour away) so I can return something I bought in April at Michael's. They have a pretty good supply of beads and the necessary findings. I must have a bazillion already but I saw a beautiful necklace in Watch Hill (the wealthy section of Westerly) and My girlfriend took a photo of it so I need a certain kind of crystal to duplicate it.

As for the job interview - it went smashingly but it will be two weeks before he hers. Please keep praying.

Love to you all,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Going to the Ozarks for a few days. I think my experience will be a lot less Hillbilly than Rachelle's vacation.

Went for a hike yesterday, ~ 9 miles. Woke up this morning thinking of all the stuff I plan to do today. Then I got out of bed to make coffee.... Maybe I'll just watch movies today.... and drink...

Wow, I missed a lot of drama, amusement, and tragedy (ish). Just took me an hour to catch up. My family is so delightfully normal and boring. Except that my mother refuses to turn her cell phone on, but my parents don't have a landline in the current house, and so I can't call her back. Not that I specifically need to, but it's surprisingly irritating. Perhaps I shall write letters, as she sent me envelopes with stamps on them. Ah! passive agressive hint?

1. I think I would like to avoid in-laws, and am glad the move is over.

2. Am glad you survived the sketchy campgroup.

3. Avoiding babies is an excellent plan for college. Avoiding STDs = extra credit.

4. Crazy wildlife stories: would like to see foxes meet woodpecker.

5. Really, fanny means something located an another area of the anatomy?? Does everyone snigger at people named Fannie?

Considering roommating with a stranger. A guy, weirdly enough, with DH. Not that I object to living with a guy but typically have done some in a larger group (i.e. 3 bedrooms, 3 roommates) as opposed to a 2 bedroom. Hrmmm... 'twould be cheaper and a consideraly better commute to work. Neighborhood may or may not be equally "safe."

Caffiene at 3 pm stupid, and my alarm now goes off in... 5 hours. Perhaps some alcohol to combat the caffiene?

This place we are staying in the Ozarks is 1217 times better than the place Rachelle went. Also, we didn't bring any extra relatives or drunken ex- strippers with us.

It's been raining this morning and 74 F so that messed up jet skiing. Will try to do that later. The boys just liked sleeping in and having pancakes and playing some odd card game.

SB- thinking caffiene might be a big "No-No" for you. The room ate that understands and is gluten-free sounds great. The guy part might be weird.

You guys aren't going to believe this . . . we maintain a freakishly odd school schedule here . . . the kids go back to school tomorrow.

. . . but first, a trip to what I assume will be a horribly overcrowded pool this afternoon.

Dear gawd, this is an early start... . . .your kids are in school all of August? Wow......are the schools air-conditioned?

They must start their summer holidays in early June, then?

EXCITING! Sophie is packing for university. She is going to Ottawa U, but staying in residence. So, she will be a twenty-minute bus-ride away....perfect for Sunday dinners and weekly laundry jaunts <_<:rolleyes:. Her dorm room is on the fifteenth floor of one of the res buildings.....the elevator only stops at even floors ( :huh: ), and we have a sizeable bar fridge, wardrobe and dresser to get up those two flights of stairs. Which strong, strapping Psillies will be in Ottawa Labour Day weekend? Manna, please extend a weekend invitation to your ILs. If they can lift junk into a truck, they'll be all set to lug furniture up a couple o' flights of stairs.

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified.

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
