The interview went beyond well. They will get back to him on when they want him to come in for a day of interviews and for Superman to give a presentation of his work. He's used to giving presentations so he just has to fine tune it for this job.Looks like we'll have two homes. We won't sell the house in RI (not even sure if we could right now as there are 3 brand new ones left in the development and our neighbor's who moved away have their house for sale). Also we do love this house and it's proximity to a lot of beautiful places and the the beach (only went one time this summer due to health but once Labor Day passes Westerly will return to the off season and the beaches will be fairly empty).

So ... we'll get a small apartment in Massachusetts (as I mentioned) and when I don't have doctor's appointments I'll go up there (it's 2 hours away). I feel funny asking him to keep the apartment gluten-free since he'll be there more than I will. I'll have to discuss it with him. My celiac is much better (probably because the house is totally gluten-free). It's all the other illnesses that are out of control. Any opinions or suggestions about how to handle the gluten-free issue at the apt.delicately? Superman has been so good about keeping our house gluten-free and taking care of me. He wouldn't even consider a job unless he felt I was getting better (which thank God I seem to be). This all happened so quickly (although initially he was recommended and submitted his resume a year ago when he was first unemployed but they did't have anything at the time).

Phew - the timing is perfect. His severance & medical run out at the end of September and he's almost done with unemployment.

OK, time to shower and go food shopping. Thanks for listening, as always. Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Love & Hugs,

Loey

Wow Loey! So glad to see that things are looking up! You are such an inspiration with your positive outlook during all that you have been through! You deserve only the best that life has to offer. Your Superman seems to be a keeper. Do you really think it will be necessary to "handle the gluten-free issue at the apt."? I think he's got your back. ;)

I think as long as he keeps a shelf or two in the fridge dedicated to gluten-free I'll be OK. With the amount of doctor's appointments I have here I won't be ale to go up there every week. I'm guessing he'll come home for the weekends. Yes, he is a keeper and so is my son who has changed so much this year. He's less into himself and is very supportive and sensitive.

Thank you all for your kind words. I don't know what I would have done over the past two years if I didn't have this forum and the family I've made here.

Much Love, wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

hm, well, I happened to be near the neighbor's yard this morning, and saw that the apples are starting to fall. It would be such a shame to let his yard get all gooey with fallen apples....

Oh yes. Anything less just wouldn't be neighborly.

And I happened to read on line today that pears should be picked green and allowed to ripen indoors, otherwise they get grainy, and the inside rots before the outside is ripe. The poor man has 3 pear trees right next to his apple trees. His yard will be a disaster if I don't act.

:lol: Oh, dear gawd... . .. . ..I must now get accustomed to her being in this city full-time, putting any drivers on the road who are people I care about in some real danger.......

All right: make sure you do NOT turn WESTWARD off the 416 when you get off the highway -- she is just west of there, and will likely be doing Friday afternoon errands. We're just to the east....and your hotel, mercifully, is in the other direction.

YES, POeter and Jacquie will be in Ottawa this Friday! After the northeastern US......the last stop! :DB)

Hmm, sounds like a glass alright, but not a glass of wine. Methinks the Karenmeister is learning to make glass. Very cool Karen, please show us some work when class is over.. Sounds like a lot of fun! :)

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      By Peggy M · Posted

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
