We went to the lake this afternoon. Open Original Shared Link on Lake Ontario, in downtown Toronto. I have a new Open Original Shared Link and was playing around with it. I like it. We had a good afternoon.

Happy to see you enjoying your time off.

When I clicked on the camera link, I thought I was going to see your pics. :D

I'm sure it will be great, I love the oldies anyway! You'll have to let me know how The Springsteen show is! He's coming to Moncton, NB soon I think, which isn't far from me, I could catch it perhaps!

I find that we have to be online with Ticket Master before 10AM (when they open). Then you need to click at 10 to get a sales rep.. My son bought tickets for my DH and himself earlier this summer (I was sick and couldn't handle the trip). I had taken a bad fall down a flight of hard wood stairs 2 days before so DH wouldn't leave me alone. I tried to convince him I'd be fine but he didn't feel right about leaving me. Tony (my son) took a good friend and it turned out that his friend had never been to a concert (we're big concert goers -well we were until my DH lost his job). Out of all the concerts we've been to (Paul McCartney was one and Roger Waters doing The Wall, plus Paul Simon, Joan Osbourne and too many more to list ). Tony said that Bruce Springsteen was hands down the best. I'd check to see if tickets are on sale already by going to Springsteen's web site.

Let me know how your concert is. I grew up listening to all of those groups. When I was in college and after we use to go to all of the free concerts in Central Park.Peter Frampton, the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers and many more that I can't remember I also was lucky enough to see Bangladesh.

A few weeks ago we saw the Daily Show with John Stewart.For anyone who lives near NYC the tickets are free. The guest was Dan Rather which was ironic because I used to work on his show (I worked at CBS as a videotape editor for 10 years).

Sending positive energy,

Loey

Bah. Doing chicken repair tonight. The pirate noticed blood drops on the deck, and after inspecting the flock he found the rooster (Seuss) was bleeding from his foot. I decided he wasn't going to bleed out in the next couple hours, and catching him would be more stressful, so I waited until dark and snagged him from the roost.

Not sure how it's going to play out. It looks like he caught his foot on something and ripped the skin, exposing the bone/tendon. I washed it and slathered it with antibiotic solution, and he's in a cat carrier in a dark room. I guess I just wait and see if it heals, or if we'll need to remove the toe (eeewwww).

The good thing is, the pirate just brought over a bunch of t-shirts that got stained in his clothes locker. We just got finished washing and sorting the ones that are too stained to wear, so the wee rooster is napping on fresh cotton. Seems like it's got to be more comfortable on an owie foot than pine shavings.

Tomorrow I'll move him to a big plastic bin so I can put food and water in.

I will check out ticketmaster and see, I think it's an outside concert so maybe I'll get lucky and there will still be tickets. ? I have to say, I AM SOOOO JEALOUS!!!! The Allman Brothers and THE GRATEFUL DEAD!?!? Two of my favorites, I grew up with all of this music because my Dad listened to it, and I fell in love early on haha Now The Dead in Central Park, that would be awesome!! NYC is my favorite place to visit!

You can tell I'm an old lady by the groups I saw. There were so many more. My deceased husband and I spent one New Year's Eve at the Stardust Ballroom where the Kinks were performing. Dancing to their music when the year changed was a special memory for me. It was a small venue so you could talk to the group. He & I went to a lot of concerts when he was around. We both worked at CBS (and met there). We were both videotape editors but he was was a roadie.

My current DH and I love concerts and now our son does. Rob (referred to as Superman in this forum) is unemployed and relying on his savvy withe stock market but we're doing worse this week then last. I'm on disability but they just started taking $200 a month for Medicare and my gap insurance. I'm really lucky to qualify for medicare at my age. It's because I'm on disability. I'd be screwed without it because my husband's benefits run out in September and with all of my pre-existing conditions I wouldn't be accepted anywhere (or would pay ginormous rate).

Hugs, Loey

Well. Butch thought the cat-entertainment box was pretty cool, especially the fluffy feathers that came through the holes to be batted and pulled out. Until the box crowed. You shoulda seen that cat's face! :huh::unsure::o:blink::o:blink::ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: All at once.

As it turns out, sitting in a room with a crowing chicken is not a pleasant thing. I put the cat box outside, but that just made poor Seuss frantic to get to his girls, so I ended up letting him out. He hasn't stopped crowing. Guess I'll just have to check his toe every night when he goes to bed. :(

I hope you enjoy your concert. That does sound like a good lineup and what's better than free?I imagine Mike will do a tribute to Davy Jones. That was so sad sad.gif

The concert was great! We had lots of fun and I bet I was the youngest person there haha I liked all of the groups except Union Gap? I hadn't heard of them and it sort of felt like a bad Vegas show and Neil Diamond might walk out at any minute. ? but the lady sitting next to me was GOING NUTS for them haha I think they were her favorite part!

Shhhhhhh! . . . don't tell my hubby, but chickens are included in my retirement plan :ph34r: . . . along with a nice size property that needs to have one of those gator truck thingies to get around the property on. :)

I am SO frustrated! I inadvertently hit a key and lost a rather length reply mad.gif Anyway I'm glad you had a good time and want to hear all the details. You can IM them t me if you want. I promise to tell you all the details of the Boss' concert. I'm guessing we're in the nose bleed section, My son is 20 and very cautious about spending his money (but not ours). It was still a really sweet gesture. Karenggg- he's also started to call me ever week to se how I'n feeling,

Right now I have to focus on getting better (3 falls in 2 months) I have a a staph infection (thank God it's not MRSA) and an upper respiratory infection that could be pneumonia, My white blood count jumped from 12,000 to 30,00 and my lymphocytes are high. My oncologist isn';t one to do unnecessary tests ( the next would be a bone marrow biopsy).

Superman (DH) and I are trying to take day trips every weekend because it's so beautiful up here. Tomorrow it's a guided boat tour to the Thimble Islands in CT. I'm determined to enjoy living my life- not making my illnesses my identity. In other words time to get psillie again and spend more time on this board!

Hope all my psilies are doing well!

Lots of love wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif,

Loey

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
