Well, since gas is super high....I am just planning on going home a few days to visit my mom. I don't get to see her much now that gas is so much. We will do thrift shopping which is something we love to do together. She does not like gifts so this will be more fun for her.

The best gift I ever gave to my mom was a week before my wedding I went to her house and took her for a road trip to NY to thrift shop, it was our last trip before I got married and we laughed and had so much fun. We still talk about it.

Hanging Baskets and/or flowers for the flower beds and then help getting them transplanted.

I agree second Janet about the flowers to plant or hanging baskets. I often get my mom those extra large geraniums that are already potted in a clay colored plastic container to set on the front patio all spring/summer.

Other ideas are a summer set of p.j.'s, perfume, a basket full of nice soaps and lotions, c ds with her favorite music, gift certificates to her favorite restaurant or clothing store, or gift certificates for manicures and/or pedicures or facials.

What kinds of things does your mom like Kassandra? That might help pinpoint gift options for you.

I got my mom hooked on Wildfire, which is an ABC Family show about a horse ranch. Since she raised horses when I was a kid, she loves it! This year, I'm trying to find all the songs on the show, and make a mixed tape for her :)

(every time i used the letters C and D together, it automatically changed them to say "celiac disease"...not really still using cassette tapes :P)

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
