Another Grandchild On The Way

My second daughter, who had a baby girl this May, just told us that she is expecting a 'surprise package' for July 30th of next year! Even though it wasn't planned, and she had planned on going back to work next year, they are happy. They'll manage somehow, I'm sure.

That is really funny. When her older sister was six months old, I got pregnant with her, because I believed that you can't get pregnant while you're breastfeeding (some older women had told me that). She doesn't have that excuse, but she is following my example, as the age difference between her babies will be exactly the same as the one between her and her older sister.

So, she will be eight months pregnant at her younger sister's wedding (in June). At least she will be able to be there.

I am going to have eight grandchildren at the age of 54, not bad. And I hope there'll be many more to come. :D

Congratulations.

I always told my sons, that I did not want to be a grandmother before 40, obviously they have listened too well, as I am nearly 50 and no grandchildren!

I am so envious of you, but I am so happy at the same time.

My grandmother, who lived till she was ninety based her success in her later years on the amount of granchildren she had, and then the amount of great grandchilren. She was so proud of each and every one of us and took pride in telling everyone how many there were out there.

All the best

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
