Wowie, Shrooom! What a happy ending to a horrible tale. Such a vicious, mean act - - not just taking someone else's things for profit, but the purposeful stealing of photos and cherished items of a person that have absolutely NO value to a thief. :angry: :angry:

So, Jyessss got her glasses back. . ... . . . ...did you have a chance to put them on at all during the twelve hours you were over there, then? :PB)

Hey guys!! Real life CSI!!

My gawd Shroomie--what a horrible thing :( I hope they throw the book at that heinous crook and that your sister can get some of her personal things back.

To take things that doesn't belong to you and trash the place besides.....the lowest of the low.

Dandruff though.....wow!

I vote that Patti goes to the store and gets the cream cheese!

Here's my lovely Valentines Day . . . Hubby left for a week long conference in San Fransisco. I guess the present is that I don't really have to cook all week . . . kids prefer hot dogs and stuff.

Jan-it....I bet he makes up fer it when he gets back. Until then, you get a wee break! Win-win B)

On the cream cheese situation--I emailed Mark to ask him to get some on his way home. He passes right by the A&P.

OMG... . . . . ....that cake looks delicious, Patteigh. . . . .!

We just got back from our romantic Valentine's dinner. Me, DH and Jack. :rolleyes: I asked Jack if he felt at all awkward, being the odd-man out, the third wheel, and he looked at me like I was right out of my mind. :lol:

Boston Pizza now offers a gluten free personal pizza, so we each had one. Awesome.

J and I both enjoy it. We have been several times since they started offering it. I understand that their source is Kinnikinnick.

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult. Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat.

      Low iron/high normal haemoglobin

      V. interesting. It might well explain the tiredness, and the increased headaches, then. I'm trying to get my TTG numbers down a bit by avoiding eating out. Hopefully then if I've healed more I guess I will be able to absorb more iron. Will find out at the next blood test in the autumn. Thanks so much for your help.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By RMJ · Posted

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult.  Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat. Before my celiac diagnosis I already watched out for my cholesterol level and migraine triggers, but those are much easier than diabetes restrictions. One “bad” meal isn’t that much of a problem for cholesterol levels, and my migraines only happened if I consistently ate the triggers. After many years I’ve figured out how to bake gluten free but I think many recipes have more starch which wouldn’t work for diabetes. If you go with the elephant eating analogy, I think the first portion to work on would be the diabetes, since the immediate consequences of not being careful (passing out from low blood sugar, or diabetic coma from high blood sugar) are so severe. The next portion would be celiac. The serious consequences aren’t as immediate, but if you have celiac disease, I think of eating gluten like a booster shot - revving up the immune system, but to attack yourself leading to long term damage. It sounds like you are experiencing this damage now. I did a google search on “gluten free food for diabetics” and a number of sites with advice came up.  If your insurance will cover it and you can find one, a registered dietician who knows about both diabetes and celiac disease might help you figure out what to eat safely. Hopefully my post will both scare and encourage you, as requested, with a big dose of compassion because this sounds very difficult and you are clearly suffering.

      Reading the original post on this thread made me think of "How To Eat An Elephant". The key point is that a whole, big problem can seem insurmountable but if you break it into bite-sized pieces it is much easier to accomplish. Here is the google description. It's not bad: If you're facing a daunting goal, you can use these steps to "eat your elephant": Identify the Elephant: Clearly define the large project or goal that feels overwhelming. Break it Down: Divide the major task into smaller "bite-sized" pieces. If a piece still feels too big, break it down further. Prioritize: Decide which "bite" to take first based on necessity or impact. Focus on the Now: Instead of worrying about the whole animal, focus only on the single step you are taking right now. Maintain Consistency: Progress comes from taking the "next right step" every day until the task is complete. Celebrate Small Wins If I understood Ginger38's post correctly, you are facing the prospect of a gluten challenge, but you are already eating gluten on an intermittent basis. It also sounds like many of the symptoms you attribute to gluten consumption are in full expression. Step back and take a deep breath. Get a notebook and start a gluten-related diary. Don't try to make it perfect; just record what you can about food intake and what you experience as you go along. Talk to your Dr's office (nurse, Dr, whomever) about the challenge. The most rigorous challenge is for someone who has already gone truly gluten free but now needs a clear diagnosis. Someone who is already eating gluten should not need as much "challenge". Even at that, google describes an example challenge as 1-2 slice of bread or 1/2 cup of pasta a day. If that describes your existing diet you are already there. For the moment, try to focus on getting past the challenge and test. Once you have the results, start planning accordingly.

I am popping up to recommend that you keep a careful diary (in case you weren't already). Try to catalog what you are eating and experiencing. Bring a copy to your next visit (and if you have access to the Dr, also send a copy a couple days in advance). Don't assume that they will read it. They might, but they also might be under tremendous time pressure and not get to it. Two other suggestions: if your healthcare provider has a web portal, sign on and search for "gluten challenge". They may have a standard page and Dr assumed you would find it on your own. If that doesn't work, call the Dr's office and ask the office for their official advice. You probably wouldn't need to speak to the Dr directly. There should be some nurse or staff member who could answer that

      Gluten challenge - Need some guidance

      By Xravith · Posted

      After few months going gluten free, I decided to reintroduce gluten in my diet so I can do a proper diagnosis for Celiac disease. During the gluten free period I felt incredibly good. I stopped having hypoglycemia symptoms, I gained some muscle (Still, I am considerably underweight) and my anxiety totally disappeared. I felt totally like a new person. Now, I almost reached the second week of gluten challenge and all my symptoms are progressively coming back. The first days I was ok, just a bit of acid reflux I could control with medicines. However, after the first week I started to feel real stomach pain and tiredness, my face is growing acne and sometimes (specially when I walk) i feel painful migraines.  I am afraid If I am eating too much gluten or not enough, the "4 slices of bread" indication confuses me. I am actually eating 20 g of bread, 3 biscuits and 40 g of croissant each day. My doctor was not very specific when he gave me the medical order for the gluten challenge, so I invented my own daily gluten menu. Do you have any suggestions? 4 weeks will be enough to do the blood test with my current gluten intake?  Thank you
