The House Is So Quiet

Thursday husband and I drove 300 miles to WV and met my parents about half way to their house. They live in NW PA and my boys are spending a week with them. We will be going up to stay for a week also on the 18th. This is the first time I have ever been away from my youngest (ds1 is 9 and ds2 is 5). I did spend 5 days in Chicago when the oldest was around 20 months old, but that is it. The house is so quiet and it is taking some getting use to. I miss them terrible, but I think I will adjust fine. Husband and I needed some time to ourselves and I think it will be good for all of us. I couldn't ask for them to be in better hands and I know the are going to have a really good time. They are making memories with their grandparent's that they can look back on and remember. I have memories of staying with my mom's parents. They had a cabin on a island in a lake in Northern Ontario that we would go to almost every summer as a family and then a few summers my parents sent my brother and I up before them. We would treck the 5 mile island exploring, go fishing everyday, catch bull frogs, go on trips in the boat and picnic on neighboring islands and play cards. Grandma would fry up all the fish and frogs that we caught and have some of the best fried fish known to man. There was an out house and a rigged up outside shower, nothing fancy, but that was what made it so great. The boy's are having fun going to the barn and shoveling horse poop and feeding the horses. They have a huge round roofed barn that my grandfather (paternal) built that they are exploring, they're trying to catch frogs in the swamp and catching crawfish in the creek. I can't wait unil I get there so I can play too.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
