FANTASTIC!! :D :D :D So great that you guys met up... . . .we need an Official Report of Minutes, please.... .. ..

We talked a bit about Suzzie's dogs and her cat. We also discussed why she's not been on the board and good old politics. And the most important thing we talked about was our trip and how it came about :)

If your Grand Tour takes you to KC, let me know! I can talk about my dog, too!

KC could work.

We're in Arizona tonight, in a city with 28,000 residents. Limited food options, but we choose a steak place from the AAA book and check it out on the 'net. Family-owned business.

So we are seated, and the server is ready to take our order. I start into my queries, mentioning wheat. Well, she asks if I am a celiac, because she is too. We talked a bit about it. I felt completely safe in her hands. Good food and great service.

That's WardGirl in the pic.

Wow, you guys were so lucky to find a Tia Chi class in the salt flats like that! What are the odds on that? Wow! :)

WardGirl drove up the 5.5 mile ascent on a very rough track that was barely a road--her first real 4x4 off-road experience. Slow going--with stops it took about an hour for the climb.

More Arizona tomorrow, but tonight we had gluten-free pizza at Picazzo's. :)

DRAT!!!! I had a whole message written and inadvertently hit my mouse and POOF it was gone. Tony was home overnight because he and Rob went to Great Adventure in Mass. today. He'll be home Wed for hiss final appointment with is surgeon (his stitches look ilk Frankenstein). At least for a man it's a badge of courage.

I hope that this finds you all doing well. I keep up with the posts but the pneumonia (or possibly the 3 antibiotics I am on for it) wipes me out. Napping a lot and when I have the patience to read I've kindled almost all the books by Louise Hay. She believes you can heal yourself and steps you through it. At the least she's a very good writer and gives a lot of positive affirmations. Started making jewelry again and last Tuesday I had Selia (the girl I tutor) and her siblings and mom over for crafts. Of course I snuck a lesson in for Selia. As soon as I regain my strength I'll start back tutoring her one on one. It was easier Tuesday to have all of them over.

Tony surprised us with something special. The three of us are going to see "The Boss" on the 18 (I think I may have mentioned it in a previous post).

Well dear psillies my energy is fading and I have to try to stay awake until the laundries' done. Superman's been doing it but I thought I'd surprise him.

OK, off to seamy timer and nap until the laundry is dry.I miss you all a lot!

Love & healing hugs,

Loey

P.S he's looking into Law Enforcement internships for next summer. One is in Minnesota.That's the online that pays.I hope interns don't get gunssad.gif

With long draw out posts that I care about, I type them in Word first. Then I copy/paste them in to the forum window for posting. That way if something goes wrong, I still have the post. Just a suggestion. B)

I do the same thing as Vincent, except I type them in Winders notepad. The text is larger and easier to read in Notepad than in the reply window on the forum, so that's a nice added benefit.

Kick that laundry's butt Loey! :)

Nice pic of the Ward-Gurl and Peoter there!

Just had to wait over an hour and a half for a doctor's appointment . . . grrrrrrrr. They told me to come 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork . . . which thank goodness I didn't go early because experience says that I have plenty of time to fill out the paperwork . . . would have been two hours if I had <_<

. . . and I walk away from the appointment with a bunch of . . . nuthin'!

So frustrating. I had an ortho appt for J once and I left after 2 hours. Was able to get him a better doc. Why are some doctors' offices really good at scheduling and some so bad?

Had a 9am appointment once - first person, and sat around waiting for half an hour. The receptionist told me that the doc didn't usually get in until 9:30 or so....

Had a new doc in a few weeks.

This is all really interesting in light of what happened last week in this household.....DD had an appointment for a colonoscopy, and usually there is about a month's wait for one of these procedures. She got the referral from our GP and the specialist's office called me the next day -- could we get in there in 48 hours? Wow....sure! And not only a three-day wait, but once we got to the appointment, we didn't even have time to open our reading material.. . . ..DD was called into the exam room immediately, and I filled out the forms. Talk about efficient.

But here's why: Before my daughter went in, the receptionist informed us that there was a sixty-dollar charge. I stared at her blankly. I said, "But my husband had a colonoscopy last year, and it was covered by the province". And she replied, "he must have had it done at one of the hospitals", (he did) "....and this is a privately-run clinic".

Aaaaaahhhhhh. That explains it. We had no wait time, ultra-efficient.....but that cost sixty bucks.

Ya get what ya pay for. <_<

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.

...

Aw man, wish I felt well enough often enough to both keep up here and to pop over the hill to meet for a quick coffee or something. Your sched looks pretty packed!

I'm just 30-40min from the northern side of Monterey Bay, but don't pop over near often enough.

Those Watsonville strawberries are legendary! Some as big as a fist!

We are currently in Sonoma County, California, north of San Francisco.

A Psilly Psummit is planned for tomorrow morning in the SF Marina district.

Gah! Another!

:(

Nice AZ pic. Lots more forest in AZ than the popular "all desert & saguaro cactus" perception would allow. ;)

Haven't gotten any work done on the house the last two days, but I have been Suzie homemaker. The pirate and I picked about 10 pounds of blackberries yesterday, froze 6, and we're eating our way through the last 4. Just went out and got maybe 8 more pounds, so I'll make fruit leather. We'll get more tomorrow for coffee cake and jam.

Also, um ...acquired... a bunch of yellow plums from the neighbour's tree which I'm going to cut in half and put on the roof to try to dry.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
