We have a full bloom going on our rose bush...not sure what kind it is, but it finally warmed up in Northern California (but it's probably not cold compared to there!).

Spring is quickly departing and we are heading into summer here in Southern California.  My daffodils, freesias,  and iris are long gone.  Some Camilla bushes are still in bloom.  My fruit trees (apricot, Valencia orange, lemon and plum) have stopped blooming and already have fruit growing.  I should have tomatoes in a few weeks if we get fewer classic May Gray or June Gloom (ocean breeze weather pattern) cloudy days.    I spent many hours this spring weeding.  The winter rain helped my fruit trees after years of drought but also helped the weeds to germinate.  

I can ride my bike without arm warmers or a vest/jacket.  But that means riding with sunscreen slathered on.  I bought some “sun” arm sleeves and hope this will reduce my use of sunscreen but I am not sure if I will get too hot.  Short rides are around town to the pool or market.

I used to live in San Clemente and then Laguna Niguel when I was a kid and have great memories from down there.

Around here (SE Ohio), The dorkydills are mostly done blooming.  The Red buds are blooming and the trilliums in one spot along SR 690 that I always check for them in spring.  Some pears are starting little fruits but some haven't bloomed yet too.  Tree leaves are out though and I mowed grass for the first time last week.

My ducks are getting bigger and have their baby feathers now.  They grow fast.  Several more weeks and they'll molt and get their adult feathers on.

My brother Johnny is preparing his garden area now.  He won't start planting anything until Mother's Day though.  That is usually the last frost date.

Do you eat duck eggs? I get issues when I eat chicken eggs too often, so I get duck eggs are our farmer's market.

Hi Scott,

I've eaten duck eggs in the past and didn't get sick.  So I suppose they are ok for me.  But then again I eat chicken eggs with no problem either.  My ducks probably won't start laying for another month or two.

I had car wreck today so may not be on much for a few days.  Got some neck pain and such like but nothing major.  Doc said to take it easy for a couple days though.

Oh no! Get well and sorry to hear about the accident.

Thanks you two, I hope to do that! :)

      I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten Free but contain Oats, and apparently this is becoming more common. I almost bought some gluten free flour but read that it contained oats. A certain percentage of Celiacs have this complication. I can’t help feeling offended and excluded when others act like I am being “high maintenance”. I am becoming better at being an advocate for myself.  I have had diverticulitis 3 times and each time hospitalized-once, the attending nurse didn’t know what celiac means-she had to research...  If others around me make comments I try to enlighten them, those who don’t get it are not my friends anymore. Be very careful about cross-contamination. I was sick recently for 10 days after a meal was contaminated while I was on holiday. If servers say they have gluten free buns or bread, ask if they use a toaster specifically reserved for gluten-free, or don’t chance it. On a positive note, I didn’t find out I had Celiac Disease until I was 60. Eating a gluten free diet means no more terrible headaches, hives, rashes, intestinal bloating and irregularity, Gastro Intestinal Reflux….when I follow a strict diet and mostly always eat at home, I feel great! I also weeded out “friends” who weren’t worth being around.

      Thank you, Trents- are there any safe alternatives?

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
