Lynne, my dear friend,

When I came on here a year ago, yes a year ago hard to believe it has been that long. You and many others were the ones who helped me and many other newbies make it through the muck and mire of this disease. You were and are always there to help others. As we are like a family that most of us have never met each other in person, families are supposed to help each other. As you helped us it is our turn to help you back.

There is not much we can depend on in life with this disease but we know we can depend on being able to lean on each other. The Celiac community seems to bind together more than most I have seen. For such a solitary disease because of it's underlying issues, it is what binds us together. I hope that these letters help you with what you need.

Hogs and gluten-free Quiches,

Rusla

I wrote it. Laura and Armetta, let me know if you didn't receive it.

I found Lynne's post to make it easier to write the letter for those of you not knowing what to say.

Please everyone, write a letter even if you don't know what to say or don't know her well .... if she's ever made comments to help you, you know her well-enough! I think the volume of letters will make an impression on the decision makers at the show.

got it :)

i am sick today and no i was not glutened. probably not the flu either, but some ongoing problems that i am seeing a doctor about on tuesday. the awful thing about being sick is we were finally having some friends and their kids to dinner today. i had set the table yesterday and made the rolls and put them in the freezer to bake before dinner. i had to cancel. that is such a bummer.

if anyone has any questions, please PM momma goose (lisa).

if you are sending in a letter, please send it direct to happy girl (laura) as she is a computer expert and is putting everything into the right form. PM her to get her email address.

carla and rachel, i have not received your letter. if you decided not to do it, please let me know. it is really OK if someone does not want to write a letter, because they just don't know what to say.

i am now off to the shower, clean pj's, my teddy bear and back to bed.

Armetta,

I am so sorry you are not feeling well. Believe me I know what it is like. I am still sick, I have used six boxes of kleenes and have bronchitis and worried about pneumonia at this stage. So, be careful and if you don't have to go out to work, like myself. Then, by all means don't.

Hugs,

Lisa Mentor

BUMP..................(Armetta made me do it B))

Rusla, feel better soon.

judy

Haven't heard a thing. :( I'm really concerned now.

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

there a 7 un opened pm's from me.

i'll do another one tonight but was even saying "don't want to be a pest"

Just going un opened.

judy :(

Andrea,

just tried to send a pm and it said it was 'disabled or mail box full"

so i did a email but they don't always work.

as a moderator can you see if scott has info on her..like maybe some one discontinued service but since it's free don't know if he'd know anything at all

i don't think anyone has her personal email as no one through the thread seemed to come forward. Shirley (Viola) answered my pm and said she didn't so i'm at a loss.

any ideas

You guys . . . . I don't think that I do anything more than any one of ALL of you do! You amaze me. Poor Armetta -- I talked with her yesterday, and she sounded terrible. I didn't get to talk with her today -- we were gone all day. I ACTUALLY WENT OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! And not just for a doctor's appointment (although that's what tomorrow is . . . ), but to have fun!!! I think I may be coming out of my "hermit" phase. Except for doctor's appointments, and two days last weekend at my mother-in-law's, I haven't left the house for over a month, I think. That's pretty scary -- I hadn't even thought about that. NO WONDER my neice asked me WHEN we were going shopping again!

I guess maybe I don't tell you enough how much I appreciate all of you. You have helped me so much. I was so frustrated and so reluctant to go gluten-free when I joined (a year and a half ago), and there have been so many people who have helped me more than I can say.

Thank you again . . . . I still don't know what to say . . . . . you are simply the best.

Oh, by the way . . . if you need REALLY good recipes, contact Jen (JenVan) . . . she is a FANTASTIC cook and baker! You should have seen the spread we had when Brandon's girlfriend drove me up there . . . . it was beautiful AND delicious!

See what I mean . . . what amazing people you ALL are. Thank you for being an important part of my life.

Love & Hugs,

Lynne

THIS IS THE LAST CALL FOR ANY ONE WANTING TO WRITE EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER LETTER ON BEHALF OF LYNNE AND DAVE.

THERE IS A SUBMISSION DATE AND WE NEED TO SUBMIT.

Last call:

If anyone else is interested in supporting this program in support of Lynne's home makeover, please post a letter to Laura (happygirl) through an attachment, as to not re-type.

With Armetta's suggestion, alot of hard work and her generous spirit, that spurred us all to action.......this could really happen.

Thank you all for your support.

Lisa

Lisa Mentor

bump and will re-bump in the am.

Last call. :D

Rachel--24 Collaborator

*bump* :)

Rusla Enthusiast

There are far too many bumps here, no wonder my headaches.

Anyway Armetta and Happygirl I have sent you the letter, let me know if you got it.

Mtndog Collaborator

letters for lynne- good

letters for lynne- priceless!

happygirl Collaborator

got it rusla and bev

Lisa Mentor

Armetta is still a bit under the weather. So, she has asked me to convey to all of you for your time and your thoughtful letters on behalf of Lynne and Dave, with hopes of a successful Home Maker Over.

Every letter received, was a letter of true heart, compassion and generous in spirit. We are truly a family here. A family that Lynne and Dave can know through the simple gifts that we can bring to them through our simple words.

With great spirit and a lot of luck, perhaps this dream can happen.

Armetta, would like me to thank Laura for her willingness, progressive spirit and a sweetness that we would all want to grab on to. Lynne for her strength, her compassion, and her deference to others while she suffer in silence. (talked to her tonight, and I have to add her humor) :D

With good grace, perhaps this will happen and Lynne may have a home makeover. On behalf of Armetta, who began this thread, I (she) wants to let everyone know that it has truly touched Lynne and Armetta as well, how wonderful you have all been. Your letters were truly a gift.

Armetta, thanks you with her whole heart.

Lisa (by way of Mouse)

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.
    • Scott Adams
      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.
    • Brown42186
      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.
