I am emerging from the tsunami drowned, gaping head wound, bloody staples, projectile vomiting a'la exorcist, pinning down a 5yo boy to keep him calm and gash free, 19 hours of OT in 24 hours world! It is my first day back to work in 2 weeks (besides the call day from Hell...)!! :rolleyes::P

I have read the last 10 pages, too much to individually comment on, but I shall say that I am sooooo happy to hear the good medical news, intrigued about the 3 vagina/forked dork marsupials, and I am also in need of boobs! :lol:

The hub is on his way out of town this weekend to have a 'boys weekend' up in the mountains somewhere. I am pretty sure I will be staying out of the ER ;) My hub, however, has just completed a bottle each of bourbon, vokda and rum to take with him. He may be the one ending up in the ER!

My dd went to a slumber party this weekend and learned to play Truth or Dare... One of the dares was to drink Pepsi straight out of the 2L bottle.... I am having high school flashbacks and panic attacks all at the same time! I'm going to have to talk to her about good decision making. Me thinks there is a fine line between talking to her and giving her idears :rolleyes:

Not sure what else to say. I shall tell a bit of a phunny story. So after the tsunami, son's gaping head wound, heart issue on the plane, son's vomiting-sending him back to the ER for a CT, blah, blah, blah... I had been holding up pretty well, no major breakdown, not much crying, I got to the airport anxious to get home, got in the wrong freakin line for security, made it ALL the way to the front of the line, passed my stuff thru the scanner, and the TSA agent walks over with my beach bag and asks if it's mine. Yes, I say. He asks if I have a jar of jam in the bag. Yes, I say (preface, I had been searching for this frickin jar of jam for 5 days, found it on the last morning and paid 10$ for it!!!). He says, you can't take that on the plane with you. I say, WHAT?! He says, You can check that suitcase there... I say, NO, I do NOT want to check my suitcase! The tears are starting to roll down my face and he's staring at me like, It's just a freakin jar of jam. Looks at me in the eyes as he DROPS the jar into the trash. Now I'm sobbing and now I have 3 TSA douschebags standing there staring at me fumble with my shoes and gather my stuff. My mother happened to be at the airport at the SAME time flying from Oahu to Maui, I ran to her like a 5yo bawling, she was bawling and my stepdad looked soooooo awkward and uncomfortable standing a few feet away and patting our backs :rolleyes: What people musta thought! To make matters worse, I went to rearrange some stuff in my bag and found 2 opened 6oz bottles of sunscreen that they didn't take away... But they took a security closed and sealed freaking jar of jam! :rolleyes::P

Glad to be home :D

Been thinking 'bout you, Rash....gosh what a time you've had--and I was wondering when you would let the tears come. So glad yer mom was there at that moment--and wow, that she was there in the airport was kinda amazing!

Thanks :wub:. We're all fine. The vaca was actually pretty good if you edit out the drama. My goal was to sit on a different beach every day and that's exactly what I did! I am in love with Kailua and I want to move there yesterday! Sleepy little town, beautiful beach, perfect weather... Life seems so much simpler there. So relaxed. Maybe a bit too relaxed when it takes 20 minutes to get yer latte and there's only 1 person in front of you :rolleyes:

Max seems to be recovered. I don't know much about head trauma, so hopefully we don't have any lasting effects! He never had any neuro issues though, thank God!! I really think this all happened because I am too controlling and I take on way too much! This was God's way of telling me that my husband can handle more than I give him credit for and that it's ok to ask for help every once in a while!! ;)

I told the kids I was never leaving them again. Madeleine just suggested I take them with me next time.....duh! :lol:

Oh Rachelle, so good to have you back where you belong, but so sorry about your travails. Please take care of yourself. Damn them for absconding with your jam. They probably had it with biscuits and tea!!!!

The shot was REALLY painful. Today I can sit up for shot periods of time. He said it would take 2-3 days to work. I pointed out another area i was having pain and he ordered a pelvic CT scan to make sure my hip is all right. It's funny that my spine is giving me more trouble than the celiac and might have been causing my pain all these months. So glad I changed GI's (plus new GI discovered the CLL).

Sending prayers that all my psilles are feeling well and surviving nature's wrath on us (we're due to get 4-5 inches and then flooding).

Hugs,

The scandal with the TSA used to be that they made young women take off thier underwire bras in the security line. Now they are absconding with young women's jam! Outrageous!

The boys have headed off in school vans to Chicago for the midwest regional. Can be watched on www.ilfrc.org We are team 2410 with silver cowboy hats. I will be flying up tomorrow. Could not ride for what would feel like 30 hours. :huh:

I know, tis ridiculous to leave me jamless yet I'm left with 12oz of sunscreen that I don't need here in Oregon! <_<

It was Lilikoi butter, which is the most amazing passionfruit jam I have ever tasted in my life. Eat it straight outta the jar!

I knew there had to be a name for names, just never thought about it. I am a double -ian, a Cantabrian - the province (also known as one-eyed Cantabrian :rolleyes: because of our fierce loyalty) and a Christchurchian (slightly broken :P ) - the city).

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By BIg Nodge · Posted

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      Mucus discharge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
