We have the books to finish but we've seen all the movies now. They were fantastic. I love them all. We aim to own all the movies as well as all the books.

The next adventure we will embark on is Pirates of the Carribean.

I read all the Harry potter novels before I saw the movies which I think was really good as the movies dont show half of what is in the books. You will love Pirates of the Carribean we are waiting for the fourth to come out on dvd to join our set.

I LOVE the books, have the whole series but I can't stand the movies. Just dosen't follow the storyline all that well for me. I know they can't fit everything from the books into the movies but I come away feeling dissatisfied. Oh well. Now, i'm getting into the Percy Jackson series and the Kane Chronicles. I'm an adult but I love these books. :D

My oldest son (10.5 yrs old) loves the Percy Jackson books and the Kane Chronicles. I decided to pick the first Percy Jackson book up and read a little bit. It was a good read! He didn't like the Harry Potter books though.

I love the Harry Potter books. My favorite is the last one. It reads like an account of the holocaust. When I was teaching High School English, it hadn't come out yet, and after I read it, I wished I was still back in the classroom. I taught at a rural "southern" school where there was quite a lot of racism. I would have loved to assign the books as a major test grade replacement. I would have had them write a paper comparing and contrasting it to the holocaust and describing how we could use the examples presented by Harry in our lives today. *sigh*

We've read the whole of the first book. It worked out well for us to watch the movies first because my dd has autism and without the movies she wouldn't be as interested because she can't imagine what she's reading but she can think back to the movies while I read them to her.

      Alcohol

      By James47 · Posted

      So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
