But is it gluten-free? Inquiring minds want to know.

The big boss called him, and two other engineers, all with the same PM, into his office and told them to quit worrying about their jobs. So now I'm thinking the PM's butt is on the line and that's why she's treating the guys under her like crap.

Jesse has a meeting with HR and his boss today to talk about how upset he is that he didn't get the promotion he was up for (it totally should have been his), and how unsatisfied he is working for the company and the direction he thinks it's heading. He thinks they will give him 2 options for immediate advancement- district sales manager in Cincinnati or the head of the Service Excellence dept. So we either have to move for job 1 or he has to travel 3 days a week for job 2. We shall see.....

Do you have a preference of which way you would like that to go?

Actually, there are 2 more options....keep the same job or leave.

Do you want to move?

Not sure as I don't plan to eat Fluffy Snoflake Coconut Sugar Head. Much disagreement about a name for this pup. 7 year old girl wants names like coconut or snowball. 3 older brothers & dad want a name they aren't embarrassed to call. My boys said someone needs to explain that names with balls or nuts in them are not good choices.

Perhaps, we should have Max speak to her?

For him, the only other option is to leave the job. He doesn't want to continue in his current position bc it's getting him nowhere and he's way too driven to stay put. I would prefer he take the traveling job. If he takes the job in Ohio, he would be working every night until about 8pm anyway, so he'd never get to see us. I currently work 3 12's and on those days I only get to see the kids for about a half hour before they're off to bed. He could Skype with them on the nights he's out of town and see more of them than I do... And then I would be able to cut my hours to be home with the kids every afternoon. I feel like I might be a little selfish in my choice :unsure:

Yes, lets involve Max :lol: The name would be something like Darth Maul, Jabba, etc... I think if you have a fluffy white girlie dog, you need to counterbalance that with a strong, menacing name :P

--Max hasn't mentioned his balls in weeks! :lol::lol:

Oh! Get this--Preface: When we were thinking about getting another bunny, the name 'Simon' just came to me. Have no idea where it came from... Anyway-So I'm out on my front porch making ice cream and this neighbor is out on a walk. He comes up to the porch and starts chit-chatting about how long he's been in the neighborhood, how the guy that owned our house was a crazy bastard, the house was a stye (sp??), he had about a dozen cars, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, he starts talking about this guy's dog who would case out the neighborhood, making sure that everyone and everything was in place :P The dog's name..... Simon :o

So apparently, in addition to the last owner's mother haunting our house (nicely), the spirit of Simon the dog is around too! :blink:

I will suggest those names! She liked Optimus Prime, the transformer, but we agreed it was too hard to yell if the dog is running down the street.

Max's favorite Star Wars character is General Grievous. That'd be cute :D

Sooooooo, the meeting didn't go fabulously. He's pissed and disappointed. Sounds like the traveling job is definately an option if he's interested, but it's just temporary until he/we move. He said, and I agree, if we're going to move, let's go somewhere we WANT to go. East coast perhaps. N or S Carolina, New York, Maine, Virginia, Massachusetts.... Who knows. I don't like to see him unhappy and unsatisfied. I feel like they want him to stay in this division bc he's an asset to them, so they keep putting him off, hoping he'll quit b%$@#ing.

Boo <_<

So is this the place to vent about my inlaws? Ugh. We're moving in a few weeks and they want to come visit to "help". This is sure to make my move more stressful. Found out this morning IL's and BIL are all coming the day BEFORE we move and expect to stay with us. Umm...we live in a tiny two BR apartment. Our spare room has been an office, we don't have an extra bed and I have already packed the extra sheets. Office is already piled high with boxes and I was planning on filling it up more. MIL and FIL have complained about every hotel they have ever stayed in while visiting us (the last time being our wedding and they CHOSE their hotel). They will have to sleep on the couch (not a pull out) and an air matress in the living room (which is so small we will be stepping over them to get to the gallery kitchen). They also always complain about restaurant food no mater where we go. They haven't visited since my major dietary changes and no matter how much we try to explain they don't understand. I had a nigthmare last night that I came downstairs in the new house after moving and found MIL toasting regualar bread in my gluten-free toaster! Argh!!! :o

You & especially thier child, Hub, must put your foot down. You are not able to have guests, you are moving. You would love to have them in 2 weeks, 1 month... when you are settled and able to enjoy a visit. Everything is packed. You have plenty of helpers. I have a feeling MIL will set up your kitchen, etc.

Honestly, they can't come just decide to come without an invitation. Your husband is going to have to put his foot down with these people. YOu doing it probably won't matter. You are just that stupid girl who took thier son away.

Tell them "Great! Everything is packed, and the office is full of boxes, so bring sleeping bags and you can sleep on the kitchen floor." Ask them to pick up some instant coffee on their way, and some disposable bowls, and maybe extra milk so you can all have breakfast together before you get started. You'll provide the cereal.

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.

      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?

      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
