I am a very lucky girl. My honey has stood by my side...carried me when I could not walk and tonight brought me too many roses to count....he has never been big on floral displays in the past - yep he made me cry.

He really is a honey. How lovely it is to be loved and apppreciated by someone for who you are and not for what you are able or unable to do. :wub: And you deserve those uncountable roses -- do not even try to quantify them!

I'd say you are both very lucky, dear girl!! ;) Happy Val's Day.

I would tell you all about my sweet Irishman and all he has done for me, but I will instead, just point you to the Gluten Dude's blog in the coming days. My love letter to the hubs should show up there shortly.He is my "Anam Cara", a Celtic phrase meaning ( roughly) "my friend of the soul --one who always beholds your light and beauty and accepts you for who you truly are."

Yup, we've got ourselves some very good men. Enjoy your roses.

Last year I purchased a special cake pan on the clearance shelf -- it creates a heat shaped hole to fill so that when sliced it creates an edible Valentine. Followed their suggestion for the filling even though I knew it could not possibly firm up -- yesterday was busy so I made the cake early in the morning and left it in the frig to firm up....

Then had a very tough day...ran home to pack up to slices for my parents -- and got the best laugh when I was right about the filling --- more often life is just plain messy and more fun!

Hope you all had a nice Valentines Day -- I completely understand those that could care less. The main reason I've never recieved red roses on valentine's day is my wonderful husband chose that particular day to break up with me 29 years ago -- I never much cared for the day after that - this year is different because I am finally finding health -- we celebrate everything!!!

Oh -- a friend of mine gave me a great idea -- use a funnel to shape rice crispie treats and wrap with foil -- huge "kisses" make great gifts -- everyone loved them...

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      I am so glad you found this forum and shared your journey. Hearing about your experience navigating those major food holidays so soon after your October diagnosis truly highlights your strength and resilience, even through the inevitable learning curves with cross-contamination. It's normal to feel isolated, especially when in-person support seems scarce...

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.

      I am so glad you found this forum and shared your journey. Hearing about your experience navigating those major food holidays so soon after your October diagnosis truly highlights your strength and resilience, even through the inevitable learning curves with cross-contamination. It's normal to feel isolated, especially when in-person support seems scarce in your area. Your idea to reach out to your GI and dietitian at NW Medicine is an excellent one, as they often have knowledge of local resources or even virtual networks. It’s wonderful to hear you’ve already secured a connection point with the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Zoom meeting and the podcast—those are fantastic steps toward building your community. Your feeling that celiac can be uniquely isolating is so true, but be sure to know that you are not walking this path alone. This community is here for you, and I sincerely hope that as you continue to reach out, both virtually and through your medical team, you will find more of the personal, local connections you’re seeking. We’re all in this together.
