How many GI docs does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, one to say it's not the bulb, it's the lamp that's the problem.

Another to try and convince you that the light is still on, you're

just not "seeing it".

And a third to say, "I know it's burned out, but I don't know what

to do to help you get it back on!"

So, in a sense, we're all left in the DARK!!!

OMG- Emily, your discourse skills are unparalled. You gotta Open Original Shared Link

Early in the writing, Gee defines Discourse as a combination of acts: saying, writing, doing, being, valuing, etc. He views Discourse as a social construct not dissimilar from Culture. In fact, in order to master a Discourse, one must go through an intensive process of enculturation or apprenticeship where there is a focus on social practices and supported interaction with people who have already mastered a Discourse.

Is that us or what? When youse a New Psilly all you think is :wacko::blink::huh:

Paddeigh's posting!

PATTI!!!!!!!!! did they get the sillies outta yer butt??????????????????????? :lol: (good one, Judy)

How ya pheelin????????

And there's a climbing spot up there called "Cirque of the Unclimbables" - - - drives me absolutely mad in its exoticism and scary-sounding remoteness :lol::ph34r:

Never mind.........just the useless thoughts of a convoluted Dingo Brain...... :lol:

<I am so weird>

OMG - now why didn't WE think of this?????????????? have GOT to come up wif some clever gimmick-y thing that people will pay such big bucks for...........

<could I put them Lilliputs on some of me dog's poop cairns in the grass?> :ph34r:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

Em--Did Jack have a nice time at camp? Come back wif any burning questions we can help with? :P

I'll tell you what he said to me today as we were coming back from the gym. From the back seat, I suddenly hear him say:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

<_<:rolleyes:

Jack had a terrific time at his camp. He and seven other ten year-old boys in his cabin......can you imagine what that bedtime was like? He had the most incredible bed-dirt-sand-lakewater hair when we picked him up - - like this:

. . . .. . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . .. .. . .. .. .@@@

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B)

And I am sure he grew a couple of inches in that week!

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol:

He told me the consensus there was a half-sized head. But I dunno.... .. . . . these are kids, reasoning that a miniscule head would be less noticeable than a huge one, but I think something the size of a grapefruit would be gettin' a lot of stares.......... :lol::rolleyes:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

:o:o:o THAT had to stop and make ya think...... :rolleyes:

Sounds like he had a great week--I'm so glad :D

M-m-mm....the head question.....a larger one would make fer a stiff neck, I'd reckon, but a smaller one.....I donno....the word pinhead comes to mind :lol: Have to ponder this one :lol:

I hope by "cool" you mean "neato" and not . . ."Egads, there's no insulation, there's no furnace, the door's 12 feet wide (and always open with random animals coming in and out). It's like living in a . . . barn!!"

random animals coming in and out :lol: that could be phun! <as long as the cairns aren't too big>

So Patti heard from Jess - that's good. I imagine she'll have some excellent ramblings coming up.....

Gah! You could arrange it to appear as though the Lilliputians are, in fact, assembling the turds into cairns..... . . making structures of worship, landmarks or sepulchral monuments. . .. .... .. :lol::lol:

Oh, brilliant!!!!!! Alas, these cairns are going to be quite a bit more odiferous and possibly less appealing than that clever photographer's forays into broccoli and cauliflower......have to find Lilliputians who are willing to put up with stinky phecal conditions and climbing onto cairns of Dingo scat.........where will I get those? Shall I put an ad on Craig's List? :unsure::lol:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

;) So glad to entertain you, Bevel!!!!!!!

Susie enjoying the cold snap?

<_< the "cold snap" is over already. Back to 100 this weekend.......... BAH!!!!!!!!! :angry: But it's been soooooooo nice these last three days........

Need to throw in some sort of endurance training as well . . . we get some phunnie visitors but they don't stay . . . hmmm . . . do we smell of wee smell of poop cairns smell??

*snort* :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol: Um, yeah, I don't think either option is going to be that great.......must ponder........

anyone heard from SArah?

Ok Psillies- I have decided to go to Turkey to look for our Knickeigh. Sigh,I wish. I'm leaving tomorrow a.m to go to the Big Apple where PICC will be inserted Friday a.m. 36 hours left without a tetherball in me arm. Ah- I'll live.

Directly underneath each character is an italicized number. To enter the character, press and hold <alt> while typing the 3-digit number on the key pad. If the character number is less than 100, you must type leading zeros so that a three-digit number is entered, but most of these characters can simply be typed.

Ha! Can you imagine......Cattle cairns?? :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

Yes, there have been a number of potential Psillies who have wandered in, posted regularly, and then boom! Gone......Daughter of the Light, Erica, Colleen and the phunny crew from Makeupville........ .

I think the bigger question, however, is this: Why do we stay, and stay, and stay???! :lol::rolleyes:

Have a super time! Get yer PICC, then head out to Times Square.....a truly unbelievable place, isn't it? :)

At least with a pin head, you would be able to still buy hats, although they'd all be baby bonnets, I suppose. Not too much is gonna fit on something that's the size of a small beach ball. And that would certainly be the end of turtlenecks........ :rolleyes:

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      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?
    • Cathijean90
      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?

      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.
