grrr, no i haven't heard anything yet and i'm starting to lose confidence. :( I was told after the interview last Tuesday that they would call me on Friday but if i hadn't heard from them to definitely call on Monday. Of course, they didn't call on Friday so I called the HR lady on Monday afternoon and had to leave a message. I still haven't heard back and i'm growing impatient. i guess i'll call again tomorrow.

at this point, i just want to know either way! i'm holding off on starting temp work in case i get an offer. i'll keep you all posted once i hear more! *fingers crossed*

oh, thanks Judy!!

i called again on Wednesday and got to actually speak with the HR rep, as opposed to leaving another message. she said they have all been working like crazy to tie up loose ends because they will be closed for 2 days (yesterday and today) on account of a company-wide retreat, plus a board meeting and 20th anniversary party...all packed into a few days. the good news is she said they all enjoyed meeting with me and they would have contacted me by now if they were not interested in pursuing employment with me. so...i took that as good news and decided to try and enjoy my time off.

i'm now hoping they'll be calling early next week with an offer. *fingers still crossed* :lol:

hi Judy! no offer yet but i'm still in the running.

i talked to HR on Friday and i was the only one they interviewed that they're interested in speaking with any further. the whole process is taking so long because everyone who is hired automatically becomes a shareholder in the company so they have to be very particular who they hire because it's not easy to get rid of someone if they don't work out. it sounds like they're waiting on upper management to approve the hire or something like that.

so i'm still waiting! i don't want to keep calling and come off as desperate, ya know??

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By Idnam · Posted

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once  a day.   I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's.  which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in my body.

      This is difficult for me to deal with.  B complex is what stands between me and migraines.  Whenever I stop B for just a few days, I get a migraine.  All my adult life I would get a violent migraine for 3 days like clockwork until a doctor told me to try B complex and it worked.  The only time I get a migraine is when I've run out of B.  This has worked for me for over 15 years.  I am soon to be 79.   My cardiologist has me stop all vitamins for about 3 days and I always have a migraine when I go in for the bloodwork.   D level is nearly at optimal.  I don't take A, I get enough from food.   What a dilemma!

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and does make better baked goods. However, it also contains very low levels of gluten (under 20ppm), and some celiacs do react to this level, so if you are super sensitive it's best to avoid it. They also make this very similar product, which doesn't include any wheat ingredient, and is certified gluten-free: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Although labeling products in the USA as "gluten-free" that contain such wheat starch is relatively new, it has been offered in Europe for decades. You can read more about studies on it here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!
