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! :)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      I had a variety of skin issues while growing up that were likely related to celiac disease, although I did not get full blown celiac disease until I was in my early 20's. I had topical dermatitis in certain areas, blepharitis (eyelids), and a patch of dermatitis herpetiformis on the back of my right-thumb area. I do believe that many people who have the genetic...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      As already mentioned here, and based on your description, this sounds like a serious and specific reaction to green beans. While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, no...

      Slow healing?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October last year and followed a strict gluten free diet since then. My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b...

While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, not just an intolerance. Given your history of celiac disease and tree nut allergies, your immune system is already predisposed to sensitivities. It is crucial to stop consuming green beans immediately and consult an allergist. They can perform more specific testing and may prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector for emergency use, as this type of reaction can be unpredictable and potentially escalate.

My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b - 3a. Is this normal healing for a year? My main symtoms pre- diagnosis was joint/back pain, poor immune system and stomach problems (especially in the morning). Joint pain and the immune system improved almost instantly but the stomach problems still persist (but has gotten better). For reference I am a 21 year old male and both my ttg levels were normal after just 4 months and also the test for calkprotekin. My diet consists of 99% home cooked meals in a kitchen free from gluten.

      Issues before diagnosis

      By cristiana · Posted

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.
