How about a nice gift certificate for the place they love to eat dinner at? That would give them a nice evening out sometime when there days are full and hectic.

My mother is so proud of where she lives, I went to spilsbury.com and had a puzzle made from her street address map. Maybe not for every mom, but it works for mine - maybe yours? I think it was $35.

If they don't want/need anything how about buying some goats and chickens for a third world family to raise?WorldVision (or similar charity) does that type of thing. Last year, my MIL bought 3 chickens and a goat in our name for a family in Guatemala.

I am done, yay. I got started early this year and finished up before Thanksgiving!

My parents are hard to buy for too. They don't usually want anything, or they buy everything they want, so it's hard to surprise them with anything. Do your parents like theatre, concerts, anything like that? Tickets to a play, or a musical, the symphony, or a concert coming up in the year is an option.

Parents are always hard to buy for aren't they??

When I asked my Mum + Dad what to get they say 'Oh don't worry about us'( :rolleyes: )

Anyway - I ended up getting them a digital thermometer/barometer (my Mum's obsessed by how cold it is!) and I also got my Mum a new glass vase and Dad some wool socks (well at least he'll get use out of them! :lol: )

I'm finally done shopping, just finished up today... If your parents are hard to buy for, I definitely agree with the idea of giving them a gift certificate. Gift certificates are so nice to receive. Or perhaps they've talked about liking a musician or sporting event... You could get them tickets to a performance... Or, you could just handmake goodies for them like chocolate covered (gluten free) pretzels, brownies, cookies, etc...

I like the gift certificate idea as well.

Another thing that works well for parents is any type of pictures of the family. My husband gave his mother a framed copy of her with her two grandchildren (not even our kids) and now everyone in the family has that picture somewhere because it is really great. She was very happy.

I like that puzzle idea. I have never heard of that. I might have to look into it.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
