Good Morning, all!

STILL no sign of Amanda.. . . ..... :unsure: I don't believe she's ever been away THIS long.......she checked in two or three times during her honeymoon, fer gawd's sake. . . ..... :rolleyes:

Stick around, Ptaoughmghmn! You flew in to check the new Royal Ascention, now you must stay to hear the new edicts, witness the alteration of that royal robe... . ..

Patteigh, I was always meaning to ask -- was there a problem getting the bejewelled mitre completely over yer curly head? I would imagine that further north things would have fit okay, but once you were in Tex-ASS, and curly helmet-head ensued - -you probably needed to alter IT. ..... ..

:P

Gonna order a carton of Llama Chews today - -my dad is having trouble swallowing solid food right now, so this sounds like the answer...."great new product size and lack of choke" . ..... . .

Why don't ALL hospitals have Llama Chews in storage, at the ready??

:lol:

Lyle doesn't care for his new food and he woke me up at three this morning demanding something better (which he didn't get).

last night whilst watching a wonderful series on Native Americans on PBS, I figured out what in hell hairstyle I have :angry:

it was traditional among the apaches....when they lost a loved one, they hacked off their hair and wore it shoulder-length - see this photo of Geronimo:

Open Original Shared Link

yes - that is what my hair looks like - style-less mourning cut from Apache tribe - and that is EVEN when I have straightened it to within an inch of its life

:angry: :angry: :angry:

driving me insane......

Padt - I am pondering straightening it myself (have done this in the past) - - maybe the under layers..........

Nik--I was charmed by this :D As the mum of boys myself, I so remember this feeling :lol:

Now Sooz--about yer hair.....did I read you cut it?? :o Straightening is so nice until yer hair grows :P ...then you have to either touch it up ever so carefully or (gasp) grow it out. Big decision.....no going back B)

I keep going back and forth about it myself.....the curls wouldn't be so bad if I could inject some moisture into them.....Nik--any safe (gluten-free) suggestions? I already use conditioner.

Alas PadT <_< .... a constant battle meselph

Unfortunately the cuticle of curly hair is 'ruffled' (as opposed to laying flat with straight hair)....as the cuticle is lifted it doesn't hold on too well to its natural oils AND it needs like A TON of product to stick that cuticle DOWN to make the hair look shiny :angry:

Did I get a bit scientific then??? :blink:

Ok, could someone please get over here and restrain me? I'm still on steroids from the rash I had (turned out to be sumac, by the way, eeek) so I'm going nuts in the kitchen today because I ran out of stuff to do.

I put white rice and cashew/carrot/ginger soup in the crockpot with chunked up chicken and broccoli for lunch tomorrow. I've got two pounds of ground beef and an enormous pile of chopped onion to do something for dinner with. Ideas welcome. trying to figure out a way to use my ripe avocados with that. And I'm making maple rice pudding. You know, I found a recipe for maple rice pudding that called for 1/3 cup sugar plus one tsp maple flavoring. Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it be easier (and healthier) to just use 1/3 cup of maple syrup? Duh.

Meanwhile, back at the farm......

Hows you guys?!?!

Whhooooo!!!!!!! I'm on drugs!!!!

Oh, and the really special part? To get me gluten free prednisone they had to give me one milligram pills. I had to take FORTY pills for FOUR days. Thankfully they're very little. Then thirty pills for four days..... Oy.

Pieter, I'm glad some one is having nice weather. We are currently paying for the good weather we had.....it's been days of gloomy (Earl) grey and rain.....and looks like days of rain to come. Poo!!! The weeds are gleefully over-running everything (I can hear them laughing, can you?) while the "good plants" are complaining of cold, wet feet! I've been out a couple of times to get after weeds, but the clouds open up and pour buckets of cold rain on my (curl-less) head. Summer coming soon (oh, pleze, oh pleze)

Psuess....sorry that I can't identify with the hairy problems. Mine will not curl. I do mostly cut my own...and if it looks not-so-hot, what the heck, it grows out. I also mostly don't care what it looks like...that helps quite a lot :D

Almost phorgot! :oAww Hellll to the new Kween Minimome Hope your rain supreme! I see you are already aware of the offishul kourt gesture :lol::lol:

Ptawwwmmm pooped in! Wish we saw you more often (not necessarily more of you). Miss that spying EyE!

Keep it shiny....no matter the weather :)

Good idea, Emmel, on the sauce. That can be used a million ways.

Actually, that was just for the first few days. I'm down to ten a day til I run out, not that much really, just enough to keep my system from having a 'resurgence'.

And I would do the pasta sauce, but I'm not doing tomato right now cuz I think they make my tummy angry. I'm gonna challenge in a few weeks, but for now I have to get creative, hence the avocado. Hmmm, maybe if I creamed it up with some sour cream and garlic powder and mixed it in with pasta and the beef & onions......

Oh, thanks Padt!! But I actually feel pretty great!!! Which is why I'm cooking so much. It's very easy to see how people get hooked on steroids. Just google maple rice pudding, you'll see the first three recipes that pop up like I did. My rice didnt cook enough fast enough though so I'm having to add more milk and cook longer, oh well. And now you can has dairy!!!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
