GFM and my son have something in common. He swells up like a ballon if he eats a mushroom but he hates almost all vegetables and is allergic to most fruit ( so its nothing against you dear Shroomie).

Hugs,

Loey

My throat gets really itchy and I break out in hives if I eat mushrooms. I have to take a benedryl and the next day my face will be puffy so I know I'm still reacting a little. Fortunately I have never had so much swelling from them I have to go to the ER. And the itching always alerts me before it gets to bad. Sorry Mushroom! You just make me itch, but as long as I don't touch you we can be friends. :lol:

Awesome news K!!!!! It put a nice big smile on face.

I survived surgery but I hurt like !@#$. Back to bed for the ext few days. I'll know the results by the end of this week or early next week. Beware - BTW, my P.S. is longer than this part. Let's face it - I'm a blabber!

Love Loey

P.S. Tony went out to get more gluten free baking products and is making me a surprise after he gets back from Martial Arts. He found out that he's working the late shift every day so he's grumbling. We just tell him "Welcome to the real world!" I don't think it would bother him if he could go to Martial Arts the two weekdays he's been going. The Martial Arts School will still be there i the fall. I told him to stop grumping - that the three of us each have our own set of problems and that we need to be a united family. Evidently Clark had the same conversation with him over lunch (oops). He's an amazing boy but there is so much I would have done differently if I had a do-over (Yes dear Kareng, like the laundry and chores).

It's about 7 weeks of looking at orders and drawings and getting the parts from the warehouse. The company makes parts for forklifts. They wanted to give a kid from the engineering strand at the high schools a summer job. Pays $10.40 per hour so it's better than the frozen yogurt place.

That's a great summer job for high schooler! My first summer job when I was 16 paid $4.75 an hour. I thought that was good pay at the time, LOL! It kept gas in my car anyway and still was enough I could save some. Of course gas was under a dollar a gallon back then. :P

Yup. . .. . there he'd be ordering parts for smoothies and sundaes - - fruit chunks, syrup, nuts. . . . . ...this sounds more like something J will have a vested interest in, although as an 18 year-old I likely could have gotten very interested in surrounding meselph with chocolate syrup and chopped almonds. . .. ... . . . <_<

Good for him! A little spending money and some good insight into how the real engineering world works. More valuable than most people realize.

Optimistically went to home depot and bought garden stuff. We'll see if it stops raining long enough to go outside.

Plants love the rain. Shouldn't be a problem. ;)

I'm so proud! My son is off for his first pre-employment drug test. :blink:

An unusual day today, in many ways.

It was nine years ago, to the day, that we rescued Tuppence. She was near death from serious injuries, and last week lost her battle with complications from those injuries.

Becky, one of the store cats, has been having some issues we thought were related to one of her teeth. Took her to see the vet this afternoon, and she does have a problem tooth, but not the one we thought. It will come out on Monday, but she is on pain meds until then.

With that and it being delivery day, every team member worked today. Jacquie and I opened, C. helped with the delivery, K. covered the afternoon while we went to the vet, and A. closed up for us after school.

A few weeks ago, we had a power outage at home in the evening. We went to Boston Pizza for food, and when we got home the power was back on.

Tonight, after a very hot day, we wanted to have somebody else heat up their kitchen. There was a band of severe thunderstorms moving through the area as we went out. When we got to Boston Pizza, there was a power outage there. We went back home at heated up our kitchen.

I think there may be a warp in the Phorce somewhere.

How'z that?

Peter is just getting the bad stuff over in one week so he doesn't need to worry about it for the rest of the year.

Maybe it is sick pet time. Cooper stepped on something and his pad got infected. They gave him some great pain meds. Apparently, he has a PB deficiency. He must have 4 antibiotics pills a day.

My furs and feathers are all doing well. Wee chickies seem to eat about twice what I expect them to. Always starving when I get home. Cats, of course, are near death from lack of canned food at every occasion. :P

Koopur has a peanut butter deficiency? Poor mutt, his mommie shud fix dat! Just don't give him any of those Nutter Butter peanut butter cookies. I gave one to Corey (sheltie) once years ago and his whole face swelled up on the right side the same day. Had to have a tooth extracted. He sure liked them tho.

Peter is just keeping the vets on their toes.

I put the PB on the pills so he will take them. Tried to put these "gelcaps" in a piece of cooked burger. He carefull spit the pill out. & licked it. We imagined he was thinking "Good burger. Just whatch out for the wierd hard bits".

It's one of those rare mornings in the NW that remind us why we live here. :) Went out and pulled a few weeds while fantasizing about just skipping work for the day. Now I'm back in scarfing brekky so's I can scurry out the door early enough for a walk before the bus.

My MaggieDog could find the medication in anything . . . She even learned to do the swallow-gulp trick to make me think she swallowed it (you know, while you are holding the snout closed and stroking the throat). Then she would walk away and spit it out. These were tiny thyroid pills for Pete Sawyer's sake!! I would find pills and not know if it was today's, yesterday's or last weeks.

The best bet was to take half a ritz cracker, cover with a gob of peanut butter and put the pill in the PB. Then stick the whole thing to the roof of her mouth.

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
