The interview went beyond well. They will get back to him on when they want him to come in for a day of interviews and for Superman to give a presentation of his work. He's used to giving presentations so he just has to fine tune it for this job.Looks like we'll have two homes. We won't sell the house in RI (not even sure if we could right now as there are 3 brand new ones left in the development and our neighbor's who moved away have their house for sale). Also we do love this house and it's proximity to a lot of beautiful places and the the beach (only went one time this summer due to health but once Labor Day passes Westerly will return to the off season and the beaches will be fairly empty).

So ... we'll get a small apartment in Massachusetts (as I mentioned) and when I don't have doctor's appointments I'll go up there (it's 2 hours away). I feel funny asking him to keep the apartment gluten-free since he'll be there more than I will. I'll have to discuss it with him. My celiac is much better (probably because the house is totally gluten-free). It's all the other illnesses that are out of control. Any opinions or suggestions about how to handle the gluten-free issue at the apt.delicately? Superman has been so good about keeping our house gluten-free and taking care of me. He wouldn't even consider a job unless he felt I was getting better (which thank God I seem to be). This all happened so quickly (although initially he was recommended and submitted his resume a year ago when he was first unemployed but they did't have anything at the time).

Phew - the timing is perfect. His severance & medical run out at the end of September and he's almost done with unemployment.

OK, time to shower and go food shopping. Thanks for listening, as always. Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Love & Hugs,

Loey

Wow Loey! So glad to see that things are looking up! You are such an inspiration with your positive outlook during all that you have been through! You deserve only the best that life has to offer. Your Superman seems to be a keeper. Do you really think it will be necessary to "handle the gluten-free issue at the apt."? I think he's got your back. ;)

I think as long as he keeps a shelf or two in the fridge dedicated to gluten-free I'll be OK. With the amount of doctor's appointments I have here I won't be ale to go up there every week. I'm guessing he'll come home for the weekends. Yes, he is a keeper and so is my son who has changed so much this year. He's less into himself and is very supportive and sensitive.

Thank you all for your kind words. I don't know what I would have done over the past two years if I didn't have this forum and the family I've made here.

Much Love, wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Oh yes. Anything less just wouldn't be neighborly.

And I happened to read on line today that pears should be picked green and allowed to ripen indoors, otherwise they get grainy, and the inside rots before the outside is ripe. The poor man has 3 pear trees right next to his apple trees. His yard will be a disaster if I don't act.

:lol: Oh, dear gawd... . .. . ..I must now get accustomed to her being in this city full-time, putting any drivers on the road who are people I care about in some real danger.......

All right: make sure you do NOT turn WESTWARD off the 416 when you get off the highway -- she is just west of there, and will likely be doing Friday afternoon errands. We're just to the east....and your hotel, mercifully, is in the other direction.

YES, POeter and Jacquie will be in Ottawa this Friday! After the northeastern US......the last stop! :DB)

Hmm, sounds like a glass alright, but not a glass of wine. Methinks the Karenmeister is learning to make glass. Very cool Karen, please show us some work when class is over.. Sounds like a lot of fun! :)

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
