Every Saturday and Sunday.... <_<:rolleyes:

Last night I came home and decorated 60 cupcakes and a 4 tiered round, so that kept me away from DH last night, this morning I said the magic words "Amelia is having her 2nd birthday party today, you want to go with me and the kids to the Children's Museum all day?" As expected, I got a big fat "NO!" One day of this weekend down, one more to go :P

Him:"Watcha doin?"........"ummm...Dishes." :blink:.....

Yeah, like maybe he should try it sometime!!! :lol:

Things they don't recognize:

Them-"Watcha doin?"

Us-"Laundry.......Dishes.......Vaccuming......Dusting........Cleaning toilets.......Mopping..........Washing windows........Cooking.......Bathing your children" <_<

:rolleyes:

Oooooorrrrrrrrr... ....... ...you've all been as busy as I have .. ... . ...

Sophie is, right now, playing for the gold medal. Her team has won every game they've played in the tourney -- 6 in all, and this is the final matchup, between Nepean and Kingston. I was there for two games yesterday and one today, and drove home mid-afternoon and DH headed down as I was coming home. In fact, we passed each other on the highway. He called me on my cell and said, "okay.... .....I'm about thirty kilometres from the highway 138 turn-off....how far have you come?"

And I replied, "I am quite close to the 417........we're about to meet in two minutes!"

He said, "See you in a bit. You could flash me as I go by"... . ..... :huh:

As I careully watched the approaching cars over the next few hundred metres (because I certainly wanted to target the right one), I suddenly saw him coming over the next embankment. I waited....waited.....honked as we were about to pass one another.... . . . .and just stuck my tongue out at him

Too many truckers in front of, beside and behind me. :lol:

Excellent pics, Bevel!

Wildcats get silver! They just couldn't generate a tie, and lost 2-1.

Apparently, Sophie pulled her groin.

Sounds so masculine, doesn't it? :huh: ........ .. ..Though I guess we have groins, too.

It is actually an awful word - - GROIN. Very nasal and harsh..... . .. ..must look awful when spoken in front of that mirror..... . .....

'Groin' does sound terribly male ... but we (women) would surely lose our legs without one (singular or plural??) :unsure:

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster.  Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long before this.

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
