Good idea. Right now he has graduated to 6 Rice Chex and some apple juice (in a dark cup with a lid and a straw so he doesn't know how much is in it). I'm tricky! ;)

You need to be tricky. My 19 year old still won't eat carrots because he barfed them up when he was 6. I've finally convinced him that if they're cooked in a stew and he leaves them off his plate they won't make him sick. Hope M's feeling much better (and his mom too!)

Stomach virus update:

Ate some chicken and rice with little bits of carrot cooked in. Said it was a bit bland for normal but good for sick. Going back to school tomorrow! Yeah! I'm tough! Plus school is more fun than being bored at home.

Nice to see all the Xmas Avs.

Going back to school tomorrow!

Glad he's better--probably even more so after a good night's sleep. :)

Well, M is back to school. Not much energy but took bottle of water and a sandwich.

Has anyone gone on that other Celiac forum that starts with a D? I scoped it out and it's hard to read. Also, people have no sense of humor over there! Did get a cookie recipe that was decent. Not gonna waste much time with them. We are much phunnier here!

With how sick he was, it's gonna take a few more days to get his strength back.

Which Forum was it under. I looked at the forums coping with celiac and post diagnosis and couldn't find it. glad M's back to school. Has to be a relief for you. BTW, how old is he?

Soooo tired! Bro & wife are coming in from Bend, OR for the week.

Jesse and I are going to Bend next weekend! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bend!! Tis Madeleine and my favorite place in the world (thus far) to spend time. We usually vacation there in August, but this time I'm hittin the slopes instead of hiking up Mt. Bachelor! Last time, I made it to ~8600ft with Max in a backpack before it got too dangerous. Would still like to make it to the summit someday!

Yep--our phamily too. With me it was rice (of all things), Mark--german chocolate cake, and our son swears he will never again eat apple pie.

I eat rice now, but from 5th grade till I was probably in my early 20's I wouldn't go near it.

Cannae eat marshmallow fluff. Only recently have I been able to reintroduce walnuts...

BE and his daughter are coming to the show next weekend although he took me out to dinner Friday before the show and I showed him the little light booth where I have to climb up the bunk bed ladder onto the platform and sit and do my homework while listening for cues. He climbed up inside and was greatly entertained by the graffiti on the walls.

Have you met his dd before? I had a dream on Sunday night that we had the biggest psillie psummit evah at your wedding..... ;)

Sick kid report: won't drink much cause it makes his stomach upset. If he doesn't start drinking soon, it's off to the ER for an IV.

So scary! Max spiked a temp of 105 on his 1st birthday and had a seizure in my arms-HATE when the bebeh's are sick, no matter what age!

What forum is Delphi under? You have my curiosity piqued and I can't find it. I still will always prefer this one but I do browse. Always come back to my psillies.

Wow, Delphi.. . . .... . .sounds like some ancient, sacred wonder-of-the-world type place.. . . . . ..... . I cannot imagine being anywhere else but here and ONLY here. Gads, having to break in new people, explain the entire 100-page Monarchy System, Thumb System.. . .... .I'd likely have to break out a flowchart. .. ... . . ...

I love Bend. Went to Mt Bach to ski once.

J had a fever seizure when he was about 1. Hub was home with him and didn't know what to do. The cleaning lady was there and has a son who regularly has seizures, so that helped. They called an ambulance, then called me. I asked if they left with the sirens going. He said no. That made me feel better.

Delphi is what I was talking about. They have no sense of humor.

Matt is 14 and did have a bit of a fever. Freezing with sweats on in his room which was heated from the shower to about 80 and 100% humidity.

WIH is it wif this dang blasted GFP sammie bread?? I made it this morning as cinnamon bread--as per the directions on the box. It rose all weird again, and didn't cook all the way through even though I baked it 10 minutes longer than they said.

Good thing we like bread pudding....I'm going to do a chocolate cinnamon one :)

So glad Matt is on the mend. Doesn't matter what age they are- it's scary when they're sick. Tony has gotten sick about three times since he's been college. Part of it is the hours he keeps and I also know there's a lot of stress not to mention all the germs the kids spread. Did i mention that his dorm room smells like a combination of socks and stinky cheese? It's worse on his roommate's side (the one who sexiles him - can't imagine why --wacko.gif).

Yes.

He's actually very conscious of his body odor - just not his room. Perhaps because he's sexiled so much he never has anyone in there. He hangs out on the the substance free floor biggrin.gif. His roommate drinks and smokes a lot.

My glass/ ceramic cooktop cracked. It's over the 5 year dubious warranty! My cleaning lady was doing what I do sometimes, pushing the edge of the cleaning pad under the edge to get crumbs. The replacement part is $990 plus about $150 to install. Or a complete new one is $1163 plus $60 install from Nebraska Furniture mart. Not sure how fast I can get it.

If it's not one thing it's $1000. :(

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
