I just started a new job (super happy dance) and its great but not super busy and its part time, it isn't going to be a strain in any manner. The job is perfect really because the people are so nice but its a small co so not a lot of people, the pay is great and I love the part time aspect.

Summer weather isn't really here yet so I haven't done much in my yard/garden yet. And I can only bake so much, I mean heck we love to eat sweets and home baked goodies but I don't need to gain a lot of weight! Try none, I need to gain none!

Mainly my issue is I don't have any friends here, although that isn't entirely true. Its just that people are so busy its hard to find time to spend time with others. For me its a matter of needing to be around people and be active without spending any money to do it.

There is so much beautiful scenery here that I should just go for a walk. Maybe I am lazy?

Does this make any sense? LOL Sometimes I just want people to talk to ya know?

OR maybe I just have spring fever....

i can relate. i don't have many friend here either. the only people i socialize with are my husband, my parents (over the phone), one of the girls i work with who is my age, and my next door neighbor (who is my mom's age). it can be kinda lonely. we live real close to a river trail, and i always say, oh i should go for a walk/bike ride...but i never do <_<

do you attend church? i keep telling myself i need to go back to church because if nothing else, it's a great social environment.

you could always join a gym/rec center. lots of people there, doing the same thing as you :)

hope you can find a friend ;)

We moved here 5 years ago and we left behind a whole life, friends included. It seems so hard to meet people at times. Don't get me wrong, I have some friends here but everyone is always busy, myself included.

I'm glad someone understands though. Which is why I come on here, its easy. Maybe thats part of the problem, the Internet is where I make all my friends now.

Also though, we are all recovering from Celiac - Some people just seem to go and go and go and they have lots of friends and are involved in all kinds of things. I don't have the energy for that. I come home in the evenings and I don't want to belong to some activity, I want to be home with my family.

I think this is one of the reasons I have wanted a cafe, I see it as busy, the meeting place of a small town, old friends and new ones. Does that make sense?

I don't go to Church and probably never will, long and not so pleasant history there!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Russ H · Posted

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining. When gluten consumption is discontinued, these processes cease. Antibodies begin to disappear from the blood and the villi begins to rebuild. Many people begin to experiment with the gluten free diet before they seek testing and their doctors often neglect to check for this before ordering blood tests and biopsies.  If you want to be sure that you don't have celiac disease, you would need to endure a "gluten challenge" for a period of weeks. This would consist of resuming gluten consumption in the amount of at least 10g daily (the equivalent of about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and then get retested or re-biopsied. But regardless of whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same: total abstinence from gluten for life.

      I can’t remember if I had started the gluten free diet or not.

      Welcome to the forum @Bridget connors! When you had the blood antibody testing done and the biopsy, had you already been restricting your gluten intake for a significant period of time, say weeks or months at least?

      Hi my name is Bridget I was newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity but I have a very severe reaction to gluten and was wondering if anyone else has this and was told they didn’t have celiac. My brother and his son have it and I think I do as well. I have horrible burning lips that started three years ago that turned into cracks sometimes in the corners of my lips and my lips swell and turn bright red all around the edge and burn and tingle. Then I started get sores on my tongue and inside of my lips. When there’s a bad flare of if I eat any sugar or citrus it’s like I’m burning my mouth and more sores appear. I had chronic diarrhea to the point of incontience sometimes and stomach pains nausea. Migraines then came horrible leg and hand feet cramping. Then joint pain. Sleeping problems vomiting and more recently very foul smelling gas. So I stopped eating all gluten and every symptom has gone away. If I accidentally eat gluten it comes back with a vengeance and more symptoms appear each time!!! It’s crazy it’s like the gluten is poisoning my body. This last exposer my ear was killing me and the lymph node behind my ear and my throat and a big canker on the side of my tongue. Anybody with any thoughts?? I’ve had biopsies and blood tests everything comes back normal I don’t get it.
