I Just Need To Whine A Little Bit

We have been waiting for this weekend for ages. Our anniversary was last month and we are finally getting to celebrate with a spa day and a fancy meal out on Monday. I talked to the chef at the spa restaurant who seems to understand the gluten issue and promised to provide me a wonderful and safe meal, we have overnight childcare for the kids and I can't wait.

Except my hubby was hurt at work today and now we can't go. We also can't build our chicken coop this weekend or the kids' tree fort and I'm feeling pouty about the whole thing. He's going to be fine thankfully, he had some stitches in his leg and he's on antibiotics because there was exposed bone (ick!) so the massages and mineral soaks we had booked are out.

Plus I got glutened yesterday from some unknown source. Could have been the Butterfinger (supposed to be gluten-free), the Kosy Shack chocolate pudding (supposed to be gluten-free), the Kirkland bacon (looked fine on the ingredients) or the McCain hashbrowns (supposed to be gluten-free)... or some other mysterious source like a kitchen pot or chicken feed.

Blah. I'm feeling cranky and sad.

Bit extreme just to get out of a spa weekend and chores! :)

I would send J & M to build the fort but they still have to finish school before they move in with you.

Yes, we can reschedule but I don't want to. I want to go on Monday. :angry: I'll get over it though, I'm just disappointed because it's been almost a year since we got away from the kids for a night. Something bad always happens. We went away for 2 nights last August for my birthday and I came down with Meningitis and spent 2 weeks in the hospital and another month at home learning to walk again and wwaiting for my hearing to return.

Well our two oldest girls are going home to Vietnam for July and August so we'll have room for two more then. Send them up!

Funny how that conveys exactly how you feel. I can see the grouchy pout on your face and you stamping your feet as you say it.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
