So glad you've made it through the first year. It gets so much easier after that first anniversary. So... Now you've made my day and I'm going to walk around with a goofy smile all day. Thanks.

Oh, and have a wonderful (gluten free) holiday!

[marciab]

Hope you don't mind me jumping in and thanking them too. This board has been invaluable to me and I'm always recommending it to others ...

Have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy NEW YEAR !!!! Marcia

[tarnalberry]

Thank you for being a part of the board too! While I personally just love to see that little kitty in your avatar the most, I also love the help and advice you give to everyone. And that includes the questions you ask, because I sure know that I learn from answering questions as well as asking them.

Hi Tiff

Thank you for the lovely sentiment, and a big congratulations on getting through the first year!

I have learned a lot from you, too. Your knowledge of all things pharmacy has been so helpful.

I hope that you are having a nice holiday season--I was just thinking about you and your husband. I pray that he is well, and that possibly (?) he is able to be home for Christmas.

Take care, and don't be a stranger--I've missed you

Tiffany,

Thanks for the thanks. Everytime someone posts, we all learn. It really does take a village. Happy Anniversary!

I could have pretty much said the same thing, because I've learned so much this past year. We all learn from each other, it would have been so overwhelming without all you guys, and I would never have figured out all my food intolerances, and the adrenal and thyroid problems without this board.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Ursula

[2Boys4Me]

Well thank YOU Tiffany. It's nice to be included in that group of very helpful people. I was just thinking last week that I hadn't seen any posts from you lately.

I'm glad you've passed your anniversary. It's a good feeling. I remember when we passed Ty's one year. It seems like so long ago.

I hope you have a happy holiday and I hope your husband can come home soon (if he hasn't already).

[Canadian Karen]

Back at ya! You are a wonderful addition to the group! That's what it's all about - taking care of each other.....

Hugs.

Karen

[Rachel--24]

Tiffany,

Congrats on your first year of being gluten-free!

Thanks for the kind words....I agree with everyone else in that YOU are also very helpful to members of this board. I know that you have helped me in the past with your pharmacuetical knowledge.

Its great that we can all help each other out in different ways...through our experiences, knowledge, questions, etc.

I know that I've learned TONS this past year....thanks to everyone here.

Hope you are doing well....have a very merry Xmas and a happy New Year!

[Creative-Soul]

Tiffany,

Congrats on your first year of being gluten-free!

I second that; congratulations! We alll understand what a major deal this is - I've just passed my first year as well. You beat me to the punch by starting this thread...I was thinking of it but wasn't sure what to say!

I could have pretty much said the same thing, because I've learned so much this past year. We all learn from each other, it would have been so overwhelming without all you guys, and I would never have figured out all my food intolerances, and the adrenal and thyroid problems without this board.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Ursula

We do learn from each other, and I am so grateful for you all and for this site. Practically everything I know about this condition and what to expect / be mindful of has come from all of you who have taken the time to share your experiences here. I would've gone crazy with all of the upheavals my body's been going through - especially with all these ' new' food allergies and intolerances - if you hadn't clued me in! Thank you all for being so warm and generous, especially at times where you weren't exactly feeling at your best yourselves. Have a wonderful Chrismas, everyone!

Naj.
