As for not being a Celiac...do I need to change my Avatar back to flaming *ssman?

oh you are Bev's long-lost sibling AND you're married to her? well that is really scary and shouldn't you be living in Appalachia? :D

now STOP WRITING FUNNY THINGS and distracting me because I"ve got sod to lay and none of those miscreant men have shown up that Richard allegedly sent. harumph! :angry::lol:

Whatever was wrong with that counsellor for not bringing it up? How did they ever get their certificate? That is number one in counselling because money problems never out rank bowel movements. Blasphemy I tell you.

I'm not sure that Presbyterian ministers are allowed to say poop. I know that Baptists can't. :P (no hate mail from any Baptists in the audience please)

Sounds like Alan had a nice birthday--what did you all do to celebrate?

Patti,We just had some family over- nothing big. Everyone made an effort though by bringing a G.F (highly expensive) goodies too. :)

Nikki - I don't even think I"ve acknowledged the fact that your son is Celiac!! Wow! I don't know what to say here ....is it congratulations, or, I'm sorry? :huh: But the cake looks really good! Oh, and I am not sure about this either, but did something happen to your kitty?

Susan, I think it would be congrats for my son ! (mixed with a slight wistful feeling for all the 'normal' foods he will never have again <_< )

My kitty is holding on-but on borrowed time. The vet discovered he has a heart condition and is in heart failure....but he's comfortable and living out his twilight years in extreme luxury of fine bedding and food!!

Hope you have satisfied your 'what would happen?...' urges and normal sensibility has resumed :rolleyes::)

Nikki- Cake gorgeous! Send piece stat!

Bev,not sure said cake would travel too well as it tends to..um..disintigrate into a thousand pieces when touched by human hand :lol: (why does G.F cake and bread do that?)

My sister and I brawled also. One time she got her braces hooked on a the couch and couldn't get loose! :P I seem to remember getting in a heap of trouble for that :ph34r:

:lol::lol: Richard, that reminds me of a fight me and my brother got into where I lost a tooth.

My brother rammed my head onto the dining room table (it was wood) and as I lifted my head my tooth remained stuck in the table without it's owner!

Boy was he in trouble- and I milked it for all it was worth (it didn't actually hurt as the tooth was loose anyway, but I never told him that! :lol: )

:lol: So true Nikki

And yet we scarf it all up, so excited just to have bread, or cake, or rolls! It's the gluten-free mentality, we think, "who cares if it fall apart, crumbling into a million tiny pieces, as long as it tastes good....."

:lol:

Sorry to break up all the fun and hilarity, but I just came from a doctor's appointment and am supremely frustrated. I had surgery (to repair a hernia and torn muscle) 5 weeks ago and still am not anywhere near 100%. She told me I still have to be on lifting restriction (very hard, since I'm a PE teacher) and to take it easy. I have 4 kids, work 2-1/2 days a week, have a puppy to take care of and I usually go walking, running or bike riding almost every day. I'm SICK, SICK, SICK of taking it easy. I want to be better NOW! My older brother, who's overweight (way more than I am), doesn't ever exercise, and eats garbage had a similar surgery and was fine like 2 weeks later.

So, I went to Trader Joe's on the way home, saw "Dark chocolate covered cherries" and bought a carton. I don't usually eat much sugar, but I ate about a quarter of them without even looking at the ingredients. I still haven't looked - too late now anyway. It's probably just the sugar, but I have a whopper of a stomach ache and am now even more frustrated. And now I'll probably gain another pound because weight sticks to me when I just smell food and when I can't exercise I start to balloon.

Okay, thanks for letting me vent. Feel free to go on with fun and joking.

Liz, sorry you're down ... it sucks, and it's not fair. The whole thing. The celiac, and everything else you're dealing with. The stomach ache isn't fair either. Oh, man, I'd LOVE a piece of chocolate!!!!!!

Nikki,

That cake looks real good, glad it tasted good as well.

Hi to everyone else. I forget if I wanted to say anything about anything. One of THOSE days again with my daughter.

Not as much as you would think. Does look that way. Once Adam said something, I kicked him out of bed. Morgan was sleeping in the room below us and scolded me about it in the morning!!! :o:blink::ph34r: I told her it was nothing, I kicked him onto the floor, that was it!!! She thought it was a CYA statement ... she'll always think it was ...

Hernia's suck. Sorry you're still having to take it easy.

That was a nice break from helping my daughter with math. She liked it, too. Thank goodness it was clean!!! See Andrea, doesn't really matter if you home school or not, you still spend a couple hours a day sitting and doing school work with the kids.

Serious question for you all.

Anybody know anything about bladder/kidney infections? :( I ask because Olivia, my 4 yo, ran a pretty good fever last night(gone this A.M.), wet herself on the way to the bathroom (he has been potty trained for a looong time) and she has been saying "my hips hurt" (and pointing to a spot about 1/2 way between armpits and hips on her side). She hasn't complained of any discomfort when urinating, and her pee looked ok (not cloudy or dark) this A.M., no itching or anything like that. We are going to the doctor's this A.M., but I was wondering if anybody insight or suggestions.

Thanks - the serious goofball :)

Well, in my experience, if was a UTI (urinary tract infection), it would really hurt/sting for her to pee. Where she point to in regards to the pain is important. Is it both sides? Front or back?

Are her bm's okay? If it was bladder, as I said, usually it would really sting to go pee. Kidneys usually hurt more along the back than the front.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      Welcome to the forum.
