I heard from Rachelle earlier today. She asked me to "Please pass on my love to the psillie group and tell them that I'll be back soon!!"

She does not have internet access at home, but expects to solve that soon.

That's what happens when you move into a new place. The internet service doesn't follow along nicely. :(

Hmmm.. . ..*Members Only* Board, huh. . .. . ....SO unlike us loving, open and friendly celiacs o'er here with an open community.. . . . anybody can check out what we're saying -- and if one stumbles upon us here in this thread, he or she likely reads two posts, shakes his or her head, and skitters quickly back to the closed Crohnsville.... . . . :rolleyes:

Oh thanks! I keep forgetting to check in on her progress.

Being (happily) unemployed has a distinct mellowing effect on the brain.

Just stopping in with a quick hello full of love & positive energy. Slowly but surely I'm getting back to my own wacky ways. I've been cooking using my crockpot. Hard to accept that the easy things are no longer easy but I do feel blessed to be able to do these things at all. Simple things - like food shopping (but still not alone due to falling). Superman and I started watching Game of Thrones (Tony recomended it and we love it). Tony's taking Rob to a Springsteen concert over break.Tony didn't think I'd be able to handle a 6-7 hour car ride each way. Rob's taking me to see Joan Osbourne in April. BTW please forgive all the errors I haven't recovered from the two mini-strokes yet. I'll be damned if I let anything else keep me down.

Time to eat the yummy pot roast I made yesterday. It was the first day I drove I hit the same fence twice-no damage done(Rob drove the rest of that day).

Remember the warm weather is coming and the beach beckons (as does room in our house!

All my Love,

Loey

P.S. We'll be in NJ for a few days starting with July 7th. Rob's going to a concert (Roger Waters) with a high school friend and I'm sleeping at a close girlfriends house that night. We'll have a free day or two before or after that.

Welcome back Loey!

Those darn fences get in the way on purpose I think. They are very attention seeking inanimate objects. A couple of them have lured my cars in the past, so I know the way they are.

Congrats on the recovery, we are rotting for you1

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

      By Marie70 · Posted

      Wow!! Scott, Trent and Christiana thank you so much for your fast replies!! The information you have shared with me has helped me tremendously.   Thank you for all the articles.  I appreciate you all so much!! I’ll keep you posted in this post.  I will encourage her to get tested.  I feel a little better!

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      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

      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.
