Mosaic, that sounds wonderful. We have just bought 18 acres, and it is a bare block, we have moved a house on, but the council is so slow, we haven't been able to do anything with it yet. Once we get the go ahead, we will start the renovating etc etc. It will take time, but it willbe worth it in the end. As we are now living in the city and getting...

We all have our secrets, some big some small, some we would like to share, and others we just want to hide away from. Bolts come out of the blue when least expected and can have the most profound effect on you. Sons are for keeps and sons keep me going, I would hate to think where I would be without my sons, all four of them. I would like to think we...

OK trying to be optomistic Ive been gluten free for 1 month straight now. My stomach pains have stayed the exact same. Headsches have decreased slightly. But starving constantly is worse than anything. I went to Sprouts and bought all the gluten-free foods they offer. My wallet is empty along with my belly. soooo is it worth it? yes yes it is. Ill keep at...

Life hasn't crumbled. Summer is just around the corner. My second son Andrew came home from Australia. He has adapted to my gluten free life quite well. He is a bit hesitant to eat what he perceives as my food, but I tell him to help himself, the only things he can't touch would be my tuna, bread and mueslis. The rest I eat is not typically marketed...

Ohiodad, I bet you're a bit worried about this Thursday, but I wish you well and that the doctor will go ahead and test you. From what you have said, you have got symptoms that I feel they should look into. So you are hoping it could be something simple that could be causing all your symptoms. The way I saw it, I was relieved when I was diagnosed...

Ohiodad, all I can say is gosh, it sounds like it. Not nice is it? Cathy

Before I go any further, Janeti, you wouldn't have anyproblems with peanuts would you? Just a thought. But what wonderful ideas. I'm tempted to give them a go. I had been wondering what peanut butter cups were and now I sort of know. Peanuts and chocolate, lovely. My favourite would be peanut slabs. A concoction of peanuts in chocolate, in a big... -
My reactions weren't immediate to start with. It used to take about two hours to know that I had ingested something I shouldn't have. But after a year and a half of being gluten free, I think my reaction time has moved to almost immediately, well withing 10 minutes, after I have eaten a meal containing gluten. It starts off with my stomach doing sumersaults...

Mosaic, what you have said is what really upsets me. Not that you have upset me, but you have put into words my greatest fears. I'm so sorry about your family friend's son. Suicide is never easy, and I do worry about my sons. I have always suffered from minor, mini depressions, on and off, and now it comes back whenever I get glutened. I find...

Life is crumbling. Funny how when you think things are peachy, things all of a sudden end up pear shaped. I have two sons in Sydney, Australia, they have been there for coming on 10 years. Their father, my ex husband has been a major part in their lives over there. I thought things had been fine, they have both been working, one son even managed...

Hi From Nz And A Couple Of Queries Re Coeliac
Kaycee commented on hekewhy's blog entry in Hi from NZ and a couple of queries
Hekewhy, I thought you were playing around with Hone Heke's name, not Waiheke! Still it's a good name. Mine is just Kaycee. Go figure. We are only a couple of hundred kilometres up in Whangarei, and I am sure there are more of us in NZ. You are right when you say that it is quite a recognisable disease in kiwiland, and I haven't come... -
Went to the doctors today for a general health check. I did ask him if he could be 100% positive that I had coeliac, and he had to admit that he should've done a biopsy earlier on, as when I had the biopsy done it had been a whole year since I went gluten free. But he did mention that the blood results pointed to problems with gluten. He did say I had...

Yes it has been a while since I've blogged. Not much has happened, just been working hard and trying to get on. A couple points of interest this week: 1) a fellow worker looking over my shoulder and saying "you can't eat rice, it has gluten in it." So I proudly pointed out that I was eating sausage as well! She is just one of the mis-informed...
