I wasn't sure where to post this topic but just feel very proud of my 17 year old daughter. My birthday was yesterday and we are celebrating tomorrow with a cook out. She was concerned about a birthday cake and I told her I didn't need one. She decided on her own that I definately needed one and made me a pamela's chocolate cake for tomorrow. :) The kitchen smells yummy and no matter what it will be the best cake I've tasted!

I know the feeling and it can't be beat. BTW, Pamela's chocolate cake is wonderful. :)

I don't know if I would be able to wait on that cake. I would be sitting at the table at midnight with fork in hand. :D

You are very lucky to have such a sweet kid, give her an extra big chocolatey hug tommorrow.

Happy belated too and enjoy the cookout.

Happy Birthday. You daughter is very thoughtful.

I just had my 50th birthday and had to make my own birthday cake. Hubby just didn't feel like he could and my 12 year old triplets are only just starting to cook the odd thing. The 20 year was away but if she had been around my guess is she would have made the cake.

It's funny how small kindnesses like a birthday cake can mean so much to us.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      Of course, I thought about the OP not being consistent with the gluten-free diet and about cross reactivity. But you would think those things would show some damage in the biopsy, especially as severe as the symptoms seem to be. SIBO? Perhaps. But then we are probably leaving a celiac diagnosis and that is the question.

      Blood results

      Processed meats and formed meats, like sausage, sandwich meats, chicken nuggets, contain "meat glue" to hold their shape. This "meat glue" is produced by bacteria and called microbial transglutaminase. It's the same structually as tissue transglutaminase that our bodies produce in response to gluten. Microbial transglutaminase provokes the same autoimmune...

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      How clean is her gluten free diet? Is dairy included? Does she eat out? SIBO? Thiamine deficiency presenting as Gastrointestinal Beriberi?

      Insomnia help

      There's more essential vitamins than B12 and Vitamin D! Thiamine is B1. Thiamine deficiency causes insomnia. Thiamine deficiency causes changes in brain function resulting in anxiety, insomnia, depression and dementia. The brain uses more thiamine when stressed emotionally or physically.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Many people dignosed with Celiac need to have their Gall Bladder removed from years of Celiac symtoms distroying our organs. Also NSAID (Liver disease)  also associated with Celiac as everything you eat and drink is filtered by your Liver.  So this is not uncommon; seeing more and more of Liver disease on the increase.

      Books about celiac

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      The most comprehensive book for Celiac is writtin by Dr Peter Green  "Celiac a hidden Epidemic".  Dr. Green is one of the leading Celiac doctors in the country and research also.  His book is well written and is easy to understand. I refer to it as my Celiac Bible. Your local library may have a copy or It is also sold on Amazon .  He has an updated version also; but I have not had a change to read it yet. There is also one "Celiac for Dummies".  If your have kids with Celiac, it makes it simple to know what they are dealing with.  But it is still an Adult book. And this site is wonderful.  Scott has helped the Celiac community so much and you can rely on his responses. GIG.net will keep you informed about the labeling laws.  Summer camp for Kids with Celiac and so much more.
