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

hm, well, I happened to be near the neighbor's yard this morning, and saw that the apples are starting to fall. It would be such a shame to let his yard get all gooey with fallen apples....

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! :)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos. I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, ...

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response. Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless). I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his...

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed?...

However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
