Nikerler!! So great to hear that Pson of Psilly is starving and chatting non-stop!! All great signs. . . . . ... :):)

Um........do you think that we can lobby for a National Anal Glands Expression Day? :lol:

Mygawd, Sooozie!! You haven't heard of Canada's "Expression of Love: Anal Gland Care Day"?? Verrrrrry big up here. .... . .....devoted dog owners gather on Parliament Hill with their impacted pooches every March 1st, and on queue, have a group Canadian Expression (quite unlike other Canuck expressions, such as "toque" and "washroom")...... . ..

:lol::rolleyes:

Really, you should get a movement like this started down there, Soooozie.

I think your new president might be open to looking at this. . . . . . . .

now coming up with ideas for even more fun days......A task I am up to par on!!!

Glad to hear Al is doing well.

The computer war has been won!!! I sent my boss after her this morning :) My boss told me she doesnt think the woman is the sharpest knife in the drawer ;) Love it!

I had my annual employee health visit this morning- got my annual TB test....which thankfully is barely visible as we speak (last year it rashed up and was raised....I was scared) I also got a pertusis vaccine....turns out Whooping Cough is becoming an issue again and the hospital was offering the free Tetanus vaccine to all employees and I figured what the heck might as well....2 of my coworkers kids have had whopping cough in the last few months....so got the shot and boy is my arm sore!!!!!

I initially thought that I wouldn't PM Scott . . . thought he might be innundated wif "What's wrong wif me av?" messages and then it donned/dawned (anybody else remember that conversation?? tom??) on me . . . Does anyone change their avs besides us??? Certainly not wif the same phrequency!!!

man heads are gonna roll......... :huh:

<chuckle-chuckle>

Just back from the hospital - all went well with Al's leg op

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :) :)

OH, and NARY a scrap of gluten-freeness available on the day care unit......they kept trying to force a cheese sandwich on him :rolleyes:

:angry: .. ...somehow expected this to be better 'cross the pond, like so many other things, even if only incrementally so.

I think I forgot to mention months ago that I saw an article that the official UK Health Ministry(?) position on IBS was being changed to "hey let's check for celiac". That feels lightyears ahead of the US.

Or National Dangling Member Appreciation Day!!!!!

:o

Isn't that supposed to be every day?

Or is that the Not-So-Dangling? :confusednowface:

The computer war has been won!!!

Woohooooo .. . . Henceforth Nov 19th is National Computing Armistice Day!!!

      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.
