*Peers from behind the land of no forum* Is this thing on? Testing...1.2.3.

Wow...I missed this place. :(

Good to see a tonne of good news these days after our brief bout with psillie withdrawl.

Just checking in from the fair city of Winnipeg to let you all know things are good for me as well. I am going out to buy some locally made gluten-free beer tomorrow night. It's amazing. :) They have some in the hotel bar where I am staying, and I can only assume it would be less expensive else where.

*yawn* but now I must get some sleep.

Morning Sillies!

We had a nifty storm overnight but I was given Robitussen with Codene so I slept very well! :):)

I am only here for a little while this morning and then I am leaving to see my sister! I am so excited!

See all you sillies later :)

Morning, Sillies!

All is right with the world....our technical difficulties seem behind us. Thanks so much, Patti and Ptaoughmghmn, for the emails to keep me sane. They kept the worst scaries at bay. :)

RYAN! Home-brewed, gluten-free beer??! And it's inexpensive? man, what we would give.....Here in Ottawa our only choice is La Messagere, brewed in Quebec. Tastes rather like dishwater, and it is $17.50 for a six-pack. Yes, a SIX-pack!! :angry:

Sarah, I am so sorry about all this sh!t in your life. You're such a good mom, and an upbeat, hilarious person......why you?? :manymoremadfaces:

You are in my heart....I'm thinking about you........

A wedding today! Amanda, what happy news.....hope you feel good enough to enjoy the ceremony and festivities afterward.

Emily,

It's not really a home brew. Fort Garry Breweries is the name of the company, and the beer is called Nu Bru! (Hey...it even works with psillie pspelling :D ) Apparently it's only slightly less expensive than La Messagere, but to buy a 6 pack has to be cheaper than buying them from the hotel bar.

Well, more courses this morning on how to make my small military museum a little better.

Have a good day psillies.

Amanda, enjoy the wedding... :)

"Life is not a problem to solve, but a mystery to experience"....I am sure you would like a little less *mysterious experiences* right now......hope things get better for you really soon....hang in there.

Mornin Sillies! :D

I gotta pack a lot into this post.....I'm on our desk top re: the slowest loading computer in the western world <_< Matt is away again until Sunday and, old softie that I am, I told him to take me lap top. Every page takes minutes to load--I'm not kidding.

So....Have a wonderful day, Amanda :) Glad to hear that you got some good sleep last night, finally!

Hi Ryan--that gluten-free beer sounds excellent! Can't believe how expensive the stuff is up there--at least we have Redbridge which isn't so bad. :)

Judy--I know....it's not going to be as as blasted hot today, but it's very humid :angry: I think it's seeping into me brain :lol:

Sarah--you poor thing :( That vomiting sounds absolutely wretched--Gawd, I hope that stops at once. You're a fantastic mom, and your kids know that--look at all you're handling and your first thought is always those two boys. Feel better, sweetie ;):)

Where's Jess? I guess she must be pretty busy at work.

Hi Em :D Yep--all's right with the world.....would be righter if I had me own computer, but what ya gonna do? :P

I'll be back later.....I think I'll try and re-boot this thing again :angry:

Carry on Sillies! :D

Judy! Very bizarre that the multiple quote system isn't working for you....you're hitting the quote button at the bottom of each post from which you want to quote, the one with the plus sign beside it, then when you have them all picked you hit ADD REPLY? Strange it is not working for you......I cannot imagine negotiating this thread without picking out Sillies' dialogues...... <_<:rolleyes:

Yes, and now with clean teeth.

Planning to have my hysteria removed Aug 18th so I'm trying to get as much done as possible (hair cut and hiighlighted-check, teeth fabulous-check, nails done-wait on that one, house de-furred-check). What else do I need?

Having the hysters removed--eh? Well, I'll tell ya, girlfriend, the only thing I regret about having mine was that I didn't do it 15 years ago. ;)

You sound like you're on top of things.....do check with the hospital about the gluten-free situation. I was able to provide all of my own food, so there were no worries there. Make sure they write on your chart in numerous places that you are gluten intolerant and that all of your meds have to be gluten-free, too.

Jess, if you ever want to chat or anything I'm here :)

Jess! August 18th is the big day........

You'll always be hysterical 'round here........

;):)

Let's see, what else do you need....you seem to have everything covered.....

Trying to think of a reason for you to possibly need DD's infamous, too-small-but-perfectly-good goalie pads.

This would make a fascinating, cryptic advertisement in the classifieds:

Woman having just gone through hysterectomy, in need of goalie pads in pristine condition ASAP.......

I agree :lol: Time to retire the boobature :D

Although, keep it handy--you never know when it will be appropriate to display them again ;):P

Computer is working a bit faster.....the phone is also very static-y, so it all may have something to do with the storms last night. Hope so anyway.....

Well this is interesting.....I can do multiple quotes just phine on this computer, but on me laptop each time I hit "quote" it pops me back up to the top of the page. I can still do it that way, but it's more time consuming and annoying.

      @sillyyak52 Welcome to the forum! I'm just about to go away for a couple of days but read this and just had to reply.  I am so sorry for what you are going through... it is really tough. Perhaps finding a short video online which explains the seriousness of celiac disease might help.  Just sit your family down and say, "Please just watch this one video with me."    There is one, here for example, on Coeliac UK, which I think is convincing - What is Coeliac Disease? https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/resources/videos-for-newly-diagnosed-patients/?&&type=r&set=true#cookie-widget I was watching a TV comedy programme we have in the UK over Christmas called Doc Martin.  If you get this programme where you live, there is a case on the final ever episode (Christmas 2022).  The seriousness of celiac disease is explained in that episode,. Perhaps watching something rather than reading would help?  But if you are after something short to read, I am not sure what country you live in but you might be able to find a coeliac charity that produces pamphlets, or perhaps your GP could let you have something?  Perhaps even better, would you be able to attend the GP surgery with your mother and get your GP to explain the seriousness of not complying with the diet?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease just over a year ago. I never had any gastrointestinal symptoms before I started eating gluten free, and the diagnosis did come somewhat as a shock. The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were fatigue, and an ongoing Iron and Vitamin D deficiency that worsened even when taking supplements. I visited my GP with these symptoms, which consequently led to a positive celiac blood test and eventually a positive biopsy. Since starting the gluten free diet, I no longer have any deficiencies or unexplained fatigue. When I am glutened now, I experience bloating, severe constipation (that often affects my sleep!) and an onset of fatigue.  My family does not believe that I actually have celiac disease, and thinks that all these symptoms are a 'placebo' effect of being told the 'wrong' diagnosis. Ever since my diagnosis, they have constantly been telling me that I should seek a second opinion. I really don't see the point of getting a second opinion. I trust that the blood test and biopsy were accurate, and the improvement in my blood tests, fatigue and the symptoms I experience now when I now accidentally consume gluten are enough for me. On top of that, if I were to seek a second opinion now, I believe I would need to do a gluten challenge to get an accurate diagnosis, which I am definitely not willing to do just to please my family.  Because they don't believe in my diagnosis, they think that I take the diet 'too seriously'. They are always comparing my celiac disease to my siblings' mild peanut allergy, and it is so exhausting trying to explain it when they just look at me like I am crazy. For example, since my siblings can eat products with 'may contain peanuts' with no issues, they tell me I am ridiculous for avoiding 'may contain gluten' products when possible.  I am also very careful about cross-contact in restaurants, which they will make similar comments about. I have been told are that "I need to stop being so fussy because I live in the real world". Recently, when I did not want to buy my birthday cake from a local bakery that confirmed their gluten free items are not coeliac-safe, my family told me "Well, who cares? They said it's gluten free. What more could you want? Do you need to take them to court to prove it's gluten free so you'll eat it?" It is truly so upsetting that after a year they have made no effort to understand celiac disease, and why I am so strict or 'fussy'. I have thought about giving them information to read, but my mom never ever reads anything. Not even her own emails, and will often make me read things and summarise them for her. She is honestly the one who is most difficult and very obviously still sees my celiac disease as something that I choose to believe.  How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?
