Wow! Probably a blessing in disguise that you had to carry your lunch around with you. You could get lost and wander for hours;)

I went to the doctor yesterday and I have pneumonia. My doctor said if I get worse I have to be hospitalized. After being in Yale for a week I'll do anything to prevent it. I swear I'm a germ magnet. I just need to be well by the 18th when we see Springsteen. Hell, I'll go even if I'm sick. I had a friend coming to visit this weekend and I had to cancel. Not contagious but too lethargic to have company.We've been watching the remastered Toy Story and it's worth it just for the bonus material.

Hope you all are well.

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. I need to get my psillie back!!!!!

There are stories swirling about something rather distracting happening in Gnick's neck o' the woods right now..... . ....I tell ya, it had better be something BIG to excuse this forgetting of Psilly duty.....

Nice to see you LoLo. Work on getting better! :)

I dinna ken where me silly is. Been chicken whackin'. Well, turkey whackin'. Mulberry ended up with just the one fluffball, other three eggs not fertile. When she started taking her out of the cage, Drumstick was delighted with this tasty looking morsel running around the yard! So I've been chasing the turkey away from the fluffball. Poor Mulberry's too scared of Drumstick to do much more than squawk. Anyways. Today there was eyeballing, but no baby attacks. Maybe DS is finally cluing in.

Seuss's foot seems OK so far.

Random stuff from the early days. :P

When I go bald, I'll just comb my mullet foward....

I wanted a Barbie Doll and a maxi coat. I did have the 64 Crayola box with the sharpener--always hated to use them--they all looked so perfect and new at the start of the school year.

I have a Silly Putty story--one Sunday morning when I was maybe 7, everyone was getting ready for church. I decide to try to try transferring the Sunday comics onto my Silly Putty (like they did on TV). So I'm laying on the living room rug, and flatening the putty to get it ready. Trouble is, I'm pressing it into the carpet while doing this--*and it dosen't come up* :o

Suffice it to say the parents were not happy with me--thank goodness we had to get to church.... :unsure:

Of course, that ended the stuff in the house :(

Sorry kids, hate to break your hearts... but in 2007 I lost my job (sorta told the boss off and walked out kind of losing), and when I finally found a new job, they asked me to cut my hair.... mullet is gone.

AAAARGH!!!! I had a reply written and ready to go and by mistake left the page and the reply disappeared. Anyway you brought back really nice memories of silly putty. I wonder how old it is. We watched Toy Story the other night and I wonder how the silly putty could fit in. Perhaps give orders to the soldiers. Any other ideas?

I had a somewhat psilly thing happen (I'm learning I have to find humor in everything or I'd be depressed all of the time).I had been taking a nap and had to go to the bathroom. I was really dizzy and I know I should have waited but I didn't. Anyway I fell off the toilet onto my face. My wig will cover the bruises on my fathead (oops, meant far-head) but I'll need make-up for my chin.Superman was at the gym so he couldn't have saved me.The moral of the story is that if you're dizzy sit for a few minutes before going to the bathroom.

Today I go to the Pain Management Clinic. They use physiology instead of the routine tests. They also use different modalities of treatment I hope that I can have the treatments done where I live because the doctor is in New Haven (an hour away). On the letter that came with the forms in bold it said: no prescriptions will be given at the first appointment - I guess it's to rule out the people who are just looking for pills. Anyway, wish me luck. I'm a mess between the pneumonia, staph infection (thank God it seems to be clearing up) and falling on my face but I won't let anything get me down!!!

I hope this finds you all doing well and finding things for your tickle bone. It's nice to finally catch up on the posts (usually at 3 AM).

Love,

Loey

Happy to hear our favorite rooster is doing OK. Sorry to hear Loey got dizzy and fell. Especially grateful to hear Victor no longer has a mullet.

We are on vacation in the Monterey CA area. We kayaked this morning and saw lots of seals, otters, birds and more large jelly fish than you could imagine. J and Hub are napping, M is doing his summer math homework, and he and I are watching some Olympics.

There are fresh fruit & veggie stands everywhere. The strawberries are soooooo good.

Oh no! M just put down the math and laid down! I'm the only one awake!

What she said :P

Got through the first week of school. Still waiting for e-mail, mailbox and keys.

Whew! I'm pooped! Haven't had to navigate stairs at work for a few years. :o Thighs and butt are looking good and feeling the burn! ;)

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
