LO! Sounds like your ulcer is eating you up! Is Clark going to the doc with you? Might help to have someone to speak up for you or ask questions you might not be thinking of until after. Also, write some notes to take.

I wish he could but my brother and SIL are flying in from Va. and he needs to pick him up at the airport at the same time that my appointment is. I really think that if the GI doesn't have any new suggestions (or returns to being dismissive) I'm going to try a different doctor. I've given up eating almost everything between the celiac and the ulcer. I'm sick of being sick.

I miss pfeeling psillie!!!!!!

Forgot the fake eyelashes and push-up bra and matching undies.

Really, what is the topic of this video? Something less interesting then what we are imagining, I think. Kitchen safety? Window coverings? Vacuum demonstration?

Ok. so this Santa doesn't show up well but I was trying to show his kilt and bagpipes.

Thanks to all my dear psillies for the wub.gif and support. I don't know what I'd do without you or the laughter this thread gives me.

I've been on medicine for the ulcer for a month (he didn't want to see me before I had been on it for at least that long). Never heard about the blood work for the H Pylori so I'm assuming I didn't test positive for it. Of course we know the old adage about assuming. I've accepted that I won't be able to work for a while and hope I'll be able to get disability when my UI runs out (still praying for a Xmas miracle with the 20 week extension) but right now I'd like to be able to eat something and sleep at night.

Started tutoring the girl with dyslexia this week so at least I feel that I'm giving back. I'm very concerned for her. She would be in 3rd grade if she went to public school but doesn't know kindergarten sight words. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Klark's been an angel. He wanted to know what he could get me for Xmas and I told him the support he's been giving me is more than enough. We're already spending enough on my son's tuition.

OK, time to shower and lay down for bit. Sorry I haven't been pfunny lately.

Dunno where I lost me silly, I must've dropped it somewhere out in the garden - maybe it's hiding in the petunias, they always seem like a silly kind of flower and every Petunia I have knowed has been pretty silly, yeah, that must be where it is. Will go look for it..... :) Yeah been reading along, all along, so it can't be that far away :blink:

Nik-Nik, you keep those toeses warm, ya hear?

Sorry, I thought I already did. :unsure: Mark works fer United van Lines and the video is to be distributed to the International Dept at the different branches--it shows the new guidelines for international shipments.

I played the homeowner--basically answering the door, welcoming the crew and then going over the paperwork with the agent. I was a natural B)

I hope the sillie makes it's way back to ya, Shroom :) I get like that too, every so often.

Now, eight years ago I would have loved to have known what those guidelines were. Do they include not stealing from the customers? :unsure: And not eating the box of Godiva chocolates she forgot were in her closet? :blink: And not ripping off her favourite Christmas Goose wall hanging :o ?? Not sayin' it was United van Lines....

Gosh, I am so sorry,I did not mean that to come out that way, that harsh :o I do apologize, profoundly. :( Went back and reread and said, OMG, did I say that? Just never got over it I guess:unsure: Lost me a special sapphire ring too :angry: Ya see, our stuph when it got here, we put some of it in the old house where we were living and put the rest back into storage with New Zealand Van Lines 'cos the old house was too small, so we never could claim on anything that was lost or stolen or broken because no responsibility could be assigned anywhere because we never knew who did it. We think it was the packers, naturally, and I did mean it that I really cannot remember who the van line was on the U.S. end. Was not meaning to imply that United goes 'round ripping people off. :( :( :( But that's how it looks :o

Unfortunately, I do not have any Santas of color. Except Eeyore who is blue. It is hard to find nice Santas that are darker than beige skinned. I do have reindeer made in Indonesia or Pakistan. It is a beaded elephant with antlers.

      Hello, @Lightingthunder2, I understand how confusing Celiac can be, especially when one develops other health problems. I developed Type Two Diabetes and was prescribed Metformin.  I started feeling weak and tired.  I searched for answers using my nutrition and microbiology education to find answers.   I learned that Metformin can cause Thiamin Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Metformin blocks the thiamin transporters that allow thiamin to enter cells.   Keep in mind that Celiac Disease causes poor absorption of all nutrients, vitamins and minerals that our bodies require daily to live.  Thiamin can be rapidly depleted because it cannot be stored for very long (3 - 21 days).  With Metformin blocking entry into cells and malabsorption from celiac disease, thiamine deficiency can set in quickly.  The early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency can be vague and easily be attributed to other things, like a bad day at work, and doctors can easily overlook the symptoms.  Doctors aren't well educated in nutritional deficiencies.  My doctors were clueless.   I took thiamin in the form Benfotiamine and followed the Autoimmune Paleo diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself).  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  The Paleo diet cuts out most high carbohydrate foods.  This helps me keep my blood glucose levels under control without Metformin or other medications.  Now, I do add in occasionally rice or potatoes.  I avoid most gluten free processed foods since they are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing products and are filled with saturated fats.  Thiamine deficiency is found in both Type One and Type Two Diabetes.  Thiamin is not properly reabsorbed in the kidneys in both types.  Since thiamin is water soluble, it is lost easily in urine.  Type One Diabetes has a genetic component which involves thiamine transporters in cells not functioning properly due to faulty genetic information.  Type Two Diabetes may result as a consequence of thiamine insufficiency.  Ninety-eight percent of diabetics in both types are Thiamin deficient.   Discuss with your doctor and Nutrutionist any dietary changes and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals while you are healing. Here are some articles I found helpful.  Thiamine and diabetes: back to the future? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8505293/ The potential role of thiamine (vitamin B1) in diabetic complications https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18220605/ Thiamine Level in Type I and Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Comparative Study Focusing on Hematological and Biochemical Evaluations https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32528766/ Exploring the link between dietary thiamine and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in US adults aged 45 years and older: Insights from a cross-sectional investigation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39642136/ Metformin Is a Substrate and Inhibitor of the Human Thiamine Transporter, THTR-2 (SLC19A3) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26528626/

      I'm not a gastro doctor, but it seems reasonable to conclude that they would be able to spot any cancer-related issues during the endoscopy, at least in the areas that were checked.
    • Matt13
      Sorry cut out. Scott! Thanks You are really the master of this things! Thanks! One more question please, i did 2 EGD. In first EGD there was taken 2 samples from duodenum where they found MARSH 3b. In second EGD after 1year (i described in first post of this topic) they have taken multiple Samples from duodenum and jejunum and everything is ok (other than some of the samples is not readable but the explanation is very small and short, villi form good samples is OK and  they only found inflammation in lamina propria. Sorry, I am little overwhelm by this and scared so dr.google almost every-time frightens me. Would my GI and histology expert doctor see if there were like something serious like small bowel cancer or neoplasms(especially in histology)?

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.
