Oh my gawd, during my 2nd pregnancy, every time I coughed, I'd pee a little bit.

One night, at the end of my pregnancy with Ezra, hubby and I were outside. It was like 70 degrees out, and we were just sitting outside talking. I was about 8 months, 3 weeks preggo. Well, I coughed and gagged on the cough.

Next thing I know, I'm vomiting everything I'd eaten in the last several hours, and with every heave, I wet my pants a LOT. So, here I am, puking and peeing simultaneously, in front of my husband! Oh jeez, I'm glad I can laugh about that now, because I wanted to sink into the ground with embarassment at the time.

(Not only did he pat me on the head while I was barfing, but when I was done, he cleaned it up. Whatta man. ;) )

That makes him a keeper! B)

Emily! I think Gus is quite handsome and does a wonderful job modelling . . . he has that patented "I'm better than you" model look. Come to think of if, that's probably more appropriate for the runway models. Perhaps you can get Gus a job as runway model - Can he walk in heels?

(dog walking in high heels emoticon?)

:P (<---Dog Face)

^^^^ (<--- Four high-heeled shoes)

A conversation with my kids (seems like the best ones always happen in the car):

Son: Mom, is Michael's mom from England?

Me: Yes, she is!

Daughter (can't be left out of any conversation): Luke's from England and so are his mom and dad!!

Me: Yes, I know!

Daughter: He even speaks English!

Me: Yes, they speak English in England.

Son: Except they speak it fancier there.

:blink:

All right....I'll see what I can do to get him selling a pair of my stilettos. Hmmmm. standard poodles are often regarded as the wimps of the large breeds...dunno if I can talk him into this one, as it could perpetuate that stereotype... :lol:

This may not SEEM like exciting news at first, but I've got an actual honest-to-God garden-variety Common Cold!!!!!! :):D:)

(Ibe gob a cobe)

Nose like a faucet yet still always stuffed; clouded (but not fogged) head; tickle in the throat etc!!

How exciting!! I haven't had a plain cold in maybe 12 yrs!! For sure more than 8.

It's like a sign that my immune system is more normal than it's been since the 90s!!!!

Woohooooo!!!!! :):):)

If I may correct you Julie it's spelt 'Bollocks' (extremely confident Scott's 'foul language filter' won't pick that one up :lol: )

Hubby had his first after around 2 yrs gluten-free (boy did he turn it into 'man flu' instead of just a cold :rolleyes: )

Hmmm....try the stilettos, I think you're onto something with that.....he certainly DOES have that "I"m better than you" look - maybe he's too fat? Maybe needs to lose, say, 30 or so pounds to become quite gaunt and REALLY catapult to the top? :lol:

Son: Mom, is Michael's mom from England?

Me: Yes, she is!

OMG Poodle iditarod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Bad Ass SNOW POODLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where ARE Bev and Richard??????????????????? :unsure:

OMG - have to start preparing my OWN thanksgiving dinner for Saturday's out-of-town party.....SOOOOOOOOO heinous - last year I made myself SIX things, including a MUSHY stuffing...this year - only herbed turkey breast (thank you, Julie! :) ), asparagus, salad, and a delicious cake w/ ganache frosting.......maybe fresh yams.................

so tedious to cook one's own entire meal just for oneself.....and THEN to have to do it twice - for the second actual Thanksgiving.......... :huh:

Used to ALWAYS be sick......colds turning into horrible strep and sinus infections and bronchitis - now - nary a sniffle in TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Yes, by all means correct me, I didn't know how it was spelled :ph34r: I just have heard it in some of my favorite movies (Bridget Jones's Diary and Love Actually)

What other fun words can you teach us Nikki? :lol:

Oh Patti, I am so sorry you have been sick all week. Do you think it is from the stress of the move?

Thanks Julie :)

Yep--I'm positive it was the stress of everything that brought it on. No one around me was sick at all before or since. Other than a lingering, nagging cough--I'm much better.

Ridgewalker Contributor

Patti and Tom, I'm sorry you're feeling icky :(

I am now 100 posts away from the 501 club, woo hoo!

BTW, I have HAD IT with Lay's chips! I had to go pick Luke up from school early today, he is sick AGAIN! He's gotten sick several times recently, and I just can't track down what it is! Those stupid chips are the only risky thing he is eating at all! I told him today that I think those chips are making him sick, that they are contaminated at the factory.

He's a smart cookie. He scowled and said, "Yeah, I bet there's flour dust that flies around the air in the factory and lands on my chips!" :D Sounds like us, doesn't he? I think he's going to do just fine with a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Of course, I hear that children become possessed when they hit the teen years.... I'm just not going to think about that!

Thanks Sarah, I'm feeling much better than a few days ago :)

Lay's chips get me, too. I now eat the Plain Stax--not as good tasting (in my opinion), but I tolerate them fine.

Yep--Luke sounds like he has a real handle on this thing! :D He's gonna do fine.

Gah..I took a photo of Gus in a pair of my red shoes that I KNOW would really sell, but he has the most disgusted look on his face....I simply cannot post it. He needs the gaunt, cocained look of the Parisian runway girls to sell anything, methinks. My BIL has run the Yukon Quest and the Ididerod a number of years, and had a team in the year the Power Poodles raced. They could have won--more than enough strength, stamina, brains--but they're water dogs, and their webbed feet get too packed with snow, and don't do well in the special booties. Their hair is not great for -50, either, for some reason. So, he can't pull my sled, he can't model a THING on ebay...And when he's wet he smells like a stinky wool sweater. :angry:

Sorry about your colds, Ptaum and Patti....Need a big standard poodle to wrap around yourselves?

jerseyangel Proficient

Poor Gus--he, the distinguished British gentleman....forced to wear multicolored head gear and brightly colored shoes. :o

I could use a nice warm poodle today--it's freezing!

I tell you, it's probably better not to let Gus get into the modeling, anyway. Annie really is becoming quite the diva, I overheard her saying to her agent that - just like Kate Moss - she will no longer even get out of BED for less than $10,000 a day, AND requires bowls of a certain size of greenies in her dressing room.......... <_<

Gus can just be rented out for poodle warmth - THAT's IT!!!!!!!!!! I really do think he looks fabulous in his hat........... :lol: :lol: :lol:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.
    • trents
      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts. 
    • Scott Adams
      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
    • Scott Adams
      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
