I would NEVER give my children YooHoos . . . are you nuts? And daddy never farts . . . only the dog farts at our house, go figure. :huh:

That's the "I just found an Easter egg" victory dance (egg held high and just out of the picture). If you look close, you'll notice she's wearing her Christmas jammies. :D

Gah! That's great! A couple years ago, Lucas ran up to me with an egg and shouted, The Easter Bunny came last night!!! Since it was late September, I raised an eyebrow. I asked him, Where did you get that chocolate egg? The kitty had it. Hrmmm, better give me that, honey.

Incidentally...

My cat (who now lives with my parents) is very old and crabby. She is the tiniest full-grown cat in the world, and is completely black. She is 14 years old and hates kids. :( She's actually never scratched the kids, but they freak her out. So when Ezra started walking, he'd chase her a little.

So, here's something that I still laugh about when it randomly pops into my head. Ezra, 18 months old, corners the cat. The cat turns around, arches her back a bit, and hisses at him. And Ezra giggled hilariously and hissed back!!! So then for a few months after that, he'd run after the cat, giggling and hissing at her. Sigh... I think he thought she was his buddy. The cat thought, er, something else.

:lol:

One day the kids and I were in Sam's Club. Ezra was in the big part of the cart, and Lucas walked beside me as I pushed it. Well, Ez has horrible gas- silent and deadly. Luke and I were like, Jeez Ez, gah that's really awful! And he'd say, What I don't smell anything!

And I had to explain to the kids the concept of how farts linger in the air. Ezra would fart, and then Lucas and I would have to walk through the gas cloud. :lol: It was science in action! ;)

I think Nikki is done with his hair, and has moved to the manicure/pedicure portion of "the full treatment". She's brave one that Nikki. I heard she was raised by wolves in the Scottish highlands. ;)

Ah can 'nae deny it - aye - it were tough

Nikki- Kurt downloaded Little Britain. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Most excellent silliness :D

And daddy never farts . . . only the dog farts at our house, go figure. :huh:

Kind of the reverse in my house - all blame it on Daddy (easy target- bless 'im)

Right now the Yeti beats ALL beings (can Yeti's get celiac disease? - and what the bloomin' 'eck has he been eating :blink: )

BTW - Bev - he's being difficult about the shell bikini

Nikki, what are you complaining about? :lol: I agree, our yeti beats all beings gas-wise, but you were only doing his hair...I was the inseam measurer, remember?! Talk about a rush job...

So, he'll have the shell bikini on under his tux, and perhaps he can fling his pants off as he's ascending the aisle for the big view. I can understand his being "difficult" about the shells around his midsection, what with digging in and all. I'm assuming there will be no one on the guest list from the SPCA, or Endangered Animal Rescue...

I think I"ll get married. :rolleyes:

Patti - Yea! Worse parts over! How are the washer and dryer? Did they make it OK?

I had to leave my beautiful set at the other house--the ones here are not nearly as nice :angry:

I'd say Patti is your best bet for help w/ laundry - and only 2 hrs away! Why, she could come to your house and do it for you! When she's done there she can stop over at my house (her unpacking can wait ;) ) I'll make peanut blossoms, and I'll even share my stash of Mike 'n Ikes with her...(That's candy, NOT people chained up in my basement).

Richard is my new secretary.... :lol:

Perhaps i can convince the wife to drop me at the hobby shop whilst she tries on every pair of shoes within the city limits :o

And don't rush her :P Shoes are of the utmost importance.

Is that REALLY you in the avatar???????

I saw Richard's pic. too B) He looks like someone.....can't for the life of me think of who though....

Oh I just had the most satisfying bowel movement. :rolleyes: (few and far between, folks, what with all the calcium :huh: ) Perhpas popcorn is the key?

Yep--my money'd be on the popcorn ;) Does some satisfying things for me. too :D

Other embarrassing songs on the Ipod:

I like "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" :ph34r:

Nikki said "moobs" :lol:

Amanda---TOMORROW!!!!!!!! :o My only advice is to remember to breathe and enjoy every minute of the day tomorrow--it's gonna go by so fast. :)

I've been thinking this, also...Well, we DO have the honeymoon... :D

Amanda, I've got all these butterflies in my stomach for you...kind of nice to have those, again, instead of gas pain. Cannot think of ANY poignant advice, or any resonating quotations about love and/or marriage. Man, I'm slipping! :lol:

I can't wait for the honeymoon! It will be so much fun! We are going to need a really big hot tub!

How many do we have to fit in? Let's see...all of us, plus Amanda's new hubby, the Yeti, Danny, Richard's wife and her shoes, the dingos, Allo, all my pets, the yeti, Lance and Ashley? maybe we shouldn't invite them :P

Oh and those Mike and Ike guys that Richard is holding hostage in his basement :ph34r:

I could be wrong here, but I don't think Ashley would share our brand of humor :lol:

Good plan - don't forget the special filter (yeti fur).....shell themed bathing suits??? :unsure:

Although I just don't know what it'll do to the yeti's hairdo (shells an' all)....but hey!! ...once it's over what does it matter WHAT we look like ?!? :blink:

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      You are very welcome @Dizzyma. Gastroenterologists are now following this rule in the UK more and more with children, so I am not surprised your daughter is not having an endoscopy. Switching to a gluten free diet should begin to help, but also, even if you have to have testing done privately, it would be very helpful for you to find out if your daughter...

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      Hi @tiffanygosci Well done for reaching out,  fantastic you have found this forum. It sounds like you are managing the diet well, it can be overwhelming at first, but it will get easier.     I wonder if you have seen the short film 'Glutened'? - someone shared it on this forum a few months ago and it reminded me of how isolating it can be, particularly at first, when you don't know anyone with celiac disease.  *see link for film below. I realise now how blessed I was that when I was diagnosed two friends were also diagnosed around the same time, as we shared a lot of tips and recipes at the start.   Since then the number of people I know diagnosed with coeliac disease has grown and grown, there seems to be a much greater awareness of it among healthcare professionals and the public, at least this side of the Atlantic (I'm British).  I think in time you may find this, too. That said, those two coeliac buddies were 'straightforward' cases who seemed to recover very quickly when on a gluten-free diet - I struggled for some time.  So I found that I spent much more time discussing things with this online coeliac family. If you have any more questions, we're here for you.  I hope your event on 15th goes well.  Sounds like a good start!  I like you am not keen on Facebook, but perhaps setting up an account short-term might help? * https://vimeo.com/486284734 Cristiana

      You are very welcome @Dizzyma. Gastroenterologists are now following this rule in the UK more and more with children, so I am not surprised your daughter is not having an endoscopy.   Switching to a gluten free diet should begin to help, but also, even if you have to have testing done privately, it would be very helpful for you to find out if your daughter has vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which is highly likely,    In the UK tests are generally offered on the NHS for B12 and ferritin, and sometimes vitamin D.  Shortages in these can really cause any anxiety or depression or ramp it up. If you do end up supplementing, make sure your GP is aware as levels do need to be monitored, for example,  too much ferritin can cause huge health issues. Re: anxiety, definitely speak to a GP or another health care professional about this if it is an issue. Hopefully the Coeliac Society of Ireland will also be able to help. Cristiana

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.
