Oh, gawd......I feel like I need some good drugs meself. No, it's not my tooth. I've just been communicating briefly with Susie via email, and got the recent updates (been kind of out of the loop), and it's all so unbelievably tragic and heartbreaking for that beautiful woman. :(:( I want to be there so badly, just to collect her into a huge hug, and not let go....

Gad, sorry all...Susie's email just floored me, and I had to type something knee-jerk.

Carry onward with yon silliness.....!

Hi sillies,

Driving Weather was not on my side today, down pours, storms, fog you name it.....12 miles single lane constructions :o I had a near collision in the fog with get this....very ironic with a Wegmans tractor trailer.....yes an idiot cut off the truck and we went into the fog zone and he slammed on his brakes the truck swerved and I was in his blind area....I was able to move and the truck driver waved and mouthed he was sorry.

The illness is still not good....I am in lots of pain from my esophugus.....I cant spell. Anyway that is inflammed so eating is very painful and I have still have the pain/burning spurts, last night one was so bad that John held my hand while I took a shower.....

Today I was tired and the cough hurts too.

Tammy's wedding was nice. We had a lovely time. I did have to tell her that even though it was taking place at the courthouse it was just as special....she was a little sad this morning....She looked pretty :) I am so proud of her.

She is a mom, a full-time med student who is making straight A's, she works on the side as well doing West Nile testing, it is amazing :)

So thats my update Bye Sillies, time to rest!!!!

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

I am in lots of pain from my esophugus.....I cant spell. Anyway that is inflammed so eating is very painful and I have still have the pain/burning spurts, last night one was so bad that John held my hand while I took a shower.....

Amanda, so glad to hear the wedding was really nice :)

About your esophogus pain and inflammation, slippery elm has been a life saver for me when I've had gerd attacks and esophogeal spasms and such. You can find it at the health food stores, they have lozenges (check ingredients, but I am pretty sure they are safe gluten wise :huh: )

I usually just buy slippery elm powder in bulk (like from Whole Foods) and make a gruel to drink, 1 tbsp powder mixed into a cup or a cup and a half of cold water in a pan over the stove, stir constantly with a wisk while you heat it up to a boil, it will start to thicken a little, if it's too thick to drink add more water to thin it out to drinking consistency. The slippery elm actually soothes the inflamed tissues.

Holy poop- I almost dropped the laptop cuz lightning........SCARY...gotta go!!!!!!

YIKES, better skee-daddle Bev, you don't want to be a fried poop, or a zapped poop!

We got a some rain, it passed through quickly to amount to anything severe like what was predicted, no heavy hail or anything like that. But OMG is it ever muggy, my hair is not a happy camper <_<:rolleyes:

My whole Esophogus problems stemmed from the ravaging bronch. infection. I never had gerd issues beforew at all....The Z-pac will calm it down. Scary huh?

Anyone watch The Colbert Report?

He was dissing the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

:lol:

Sounds more Scottish than British, imho.

Emily, I tuned in to the Rogers Cup and saw:

DANCEVIC -vs- DJOKOVIC

Was momentarily fooled into thinking both were from . .. .uhh .. .somewhere over there .. .you know.

I think the canuck lost.

Oh! New Dr.?

p'raps, if you want to just remove the rest of your tooth..

Hit the local rink, strap on the pads but leave the mask at home?

Eventually the pesky tooth will be the one taking a slapshot. :blink:

Nice pic Amanda . ....go Zpac go!!!

Julie? :o Gruel???? :blink: :wontdroolforgruelface:

Gawd Amanda, how scary with the near collision!!! Thank goodness you're ok.

Be careful about the shower. Heat can help break up mucous, but steam can be VERY difficult to breathe when you are so inflamed. It can be very easy to become dizzy or black out. Good on John for helping you out! :D

Tammy's wedding was nice. We had a lovely time.

So happy the wedding was nice and everyone had a good time :) Now you need to rest up and take good care of yerself, Amanda! ;) Harrowing drive, though--I'm glad I didn't have to be on the road last night.....

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

The technician told me that she didn't see anything that would cause the enzymes to be elevated--no stones, liver looked clear. I still haven't heard the official word from the doctor though <_< Liver disease can cause the enzymes to be high, but they can also be elevated without disease. :huh:

I still wonder if the daily gluten cross contamination from the nuts could have caused them to be out of whack because one of the readings was elevated before I went gluten-free and it went back to normal after being on the diet for a few months. (probably wishful thinking...)

I just read that your Edna is working beautifully!! That's great, Julie! :D

the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

Ew-w-w-w! :o

Yeah--Julie said gruel :P

My kids have finally finished school 'til Sept (Woo-hoo!) and the sun IS shining......

Yippee!! :D

NIK! Naked tatoo'd grandmas! :lol: :lol:

Huh? Where? :unsure:

Ah--storms have passed through and the air is fresh this morning!! :D I just got a call from the phone/cable company--they got tons of calls like mine yesterday and got the problem fixed overnight so they don't have to come out. My internet is working fine and so is the phone!! :) Like Nik said--Woo-hoo :P

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
