Today is a typical december weather in the Netherlands: dark all day, gloomy and stormy. Upside to this is that it can produce great pics. I shot this one today from our living room window:

That's pretty.

I'm curious about how you live. I mean, what your houses look like. What your grocery ( food stores) look like. We have a TV show that shows people buying houses in other countries. I think your kitchens are very different from ours. One of the houses was very modern. Lots of white, no color. Tiny bedroom for the kids. White walls, white floors, white furniture that looks very uncomfortable. This was in a big city. The other houses they looked at were older and more friendly.

I'm not good at posting pics. I think you have to post them somewhere else first ?

I usually upload them to tinypic.com From there you get a link.

This is an idea of what a Dutch supermarket looks like: Open Original Shared Link Oh, and this is the cheese aisle: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jsYfsAosjXk/Swa1TAoAydI/AAAAAAAAg94/kunJV0xAvRc/s1600/albert+heijn.webp

Albert Heijn is the leading supermarket here.

This is what a Dutch street looks like in a poor neighbourhood. This neighbourhood is next to an industrial site and the harbour, the factoryworkers (used to) live here. View from our living room:

Our house looks like a lot of other young peoples' houses here in NL: not very roomy and also no expensive furniture. We usually decorate with plants, candles, statues, photos and other pieces of clutter :) My boyfriend has a collection of European graphic novels. These are quite different from comics in the way that the artwork is more elaborate and the stories are shorter. The longest series we have in our collection is 30 books.

These are some pics of our living room (sorry about bad lighting, darkness set in suddenly and I had to use the flash):

This is my territory in the house: the kitchen. The kitchen is also the place for all our large appliances: it holds a washing machine, a fridge, 2 freezers and a stove with oven. Only 2 people fit in, and we're lucky to be thin :P

Most people in the Netherlands live in better houses, but we'll get there someday :) By BF is writing his master thesis at the moment, when he graduates and gets a job our income will double.

Thanks. Your apartment is nice. You have more furniture & nicer furniture than I did when I first got married. I had one of those skinny kitchens in my first townhouse that I bought. The washer/dryer was in the basement at that place. Cheaper apartments here have a laundry area in the basement usually. Or you have to go out to a Laundramat. If I can figure it out. I'll try to post some later.

Thanks :) We've gathered this stuff over a period of 4 years. Before that my BF lived there with 2 other students. It looked more like a student home then: the couches were dirty and broken and the coffee table was a plank on two beer crates.

I had that apartment in college, too. We used cinder blocks ( concrete blocks ) with planks for the TV shelf. No coffee table. We couldn't afford coffee anyway.

What a lovely place you have. My first trip to Europe was to Amsterdam and Rotterdam for a conference when I was in college. My first night there I went to a grocery to get some food, and I remember being so confused at having no bags available at the end of the checkout for my stuff. I didn't realize I had to bring my own. I happily wandered down the street back to my hostel, pockets stuffed and arms full of cheese, little meats, bread, chocolate, and cookies plus the treasures I'd picked up while shopping. It was overcast and rainy the entire week. (Which I loved.) One of these days I'll make it back. It's a beautiful country.

I know I've taken some pics recently; I'll see if I can figure out how to upload them.

Let's try this one: b4chtc.webp

It was taken about a month ago on a crisp morning as I began a class on primitive skills. Basically, we played in the woods all day and learned awesome stuff. Love autumn!!

Here's my I idea of beating the weather photo. This past January I had to go to Florida for a funeral of my 50 yr old cousin. We had a really bad winter in Long Island New York. The week after I came back the snow was a bit much and I grabbed my snorkel equipment and I was back in Key Largo. Always smile when I see this one.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
