What was this ? Psilly tooth day? J had to have 3 teeth filled. They gave him happy gas. He has never had it before. His mellow bro had it and was great. Should have known. They had to keep waking him up because he kept hallucinating and fighting them. He's 6 foot tall and 170 lbs of muscle. They had to numb up his mouth extra. Good thing this dentist is an old family friend!

Now for something really important! How's Hank, the fruity poodle? M and I have fallen in love with his photo.

Ha ha, just followed you there! Mebbe follow you to bed too (me own :o )

By the way Em, I did a post on Hainque which did not appear anywhere, but just wanted to say how cutely adorable he is and we look forward to hearing more of his Hainquely exploits (besides poop-making :unsure: );

Hainque is quite the heelarrus li'l fellow... . . . ...I forgot what veritable factories they are at this age... :rolleyes:

The first evening we had him here, there had been a small birthday get-together in our back yard the night before - - wine drunk, gifts opened, etc. I introduced him to the back deck, coaxed him down the steps, and he marched right over to a shady area and pooped right on top of a bow that had come from one of the wrapped gifts. :lol:

I think he was telling us that he is going to be a good li'l guy.. . . . ...

Both my kids are havin' the happy gas on the same day next month..... That should be interesting! They both had complete opposite reactions to the meds before their biopsies.... Max was totally acting stoned and Madeleine totally flipped out, went CRAZY!!!

Saturday, two weeks from now, I fly in to term 5 and out of term 3.

Three weeks later I fly in to term 4, and out of term 5.

Does this mean I have the option of leaving through passport control? I have some vague recollection of going through some humongous line at Heathrow watching people desperately trying to stuff all their collected miscellany into one bag in order to be allowed through some check point. I think it was a terminal change.

Crap, I just re-read the times --it's only three hours each time. But still...

JOESS!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're not going out through passport control at Heathrow - you're not 'officially' on British soil, and I can't get to you!!! :unsure:

Normally, to catch a connecting flight, you just get ferried from one terminal to another without actually being 'in' the country. <_<

Bummer :angry:

..maybe your flight company will know exactly what's what? :unsure:

I'll contact British Airways. It can't be that big of a deal to exit passport control and come back through.

Spain and the UK are both in the EU, aren't they? I thought there was no passport control *within* the EU, so the flights between Heathrow and Spain would be like ones within the UK, or am I confused? I was last over there in 1992, when there were still British Passports and the UK was not part of the EU.

Unfortunately not POeter <_<

....Still need your passport if you are travelling to anywhere outside of the British Isles (even EU countries)

We still have our 'own' British passport.

I can't ever see it being any different due to terrorism <_<

Question

Is it possible to meet passengers transferring between flights at Heathrow or can they leave the airport?

Answer

Non-travellers are not able to go through customs and passport control to meet the travelling/transferring passengers.

The traveller, however, can exit through these controls to meet people or leave the airport if they have ample transfer time between flights and the necessary documentation to "land" themselves in the UK, e.g. a transit visa. Please not that it is a traveller's own responsibility to check their documentation for their journey incl passport validity and any visas required.

If I recall correctly, US citizens do not need a visa to enter the UK. I know Canadian citizens do not, but I have only ever entered the UK as a Canadian (I also have a US passport).

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you - that makes perfect sense and I understand. celiac disease is an autoimmune disease which will cause further damage while gluten sensitivity is different. Based on my symptoms and bloodwork, I am almost certain I have celiac disease.  I kind of hate to hope for a positive biopsy but a negative one would be frustrating for sure. Regardless, I have done a lot of research on gluten-free diet and am prepared to begin a new lifestyle journey - with a lot of questions along the way.  I appreciate your information and advice!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      Let's talk about terminology for the sake eliminating (as much as possible) confusion. Unfortunately, the terms "gluten sensitive" and "gluten intolerant" have, historically, been used indiscriminately. There are two primary categories of gluten disorders whose "official" terms are 1. celiac disease and 2. Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short.  I believe there is an evolution toward using the term "gluten intolerance" to refer to celiac disease and "gluten sensitive" to refer to NCGS. I say that because the words "gluten sensitivity" are actually found in the official medical term for the non celiac medical disorder involving gluten. Does that make sense? The difference between celiac disease and NCGS is that celiac disease causes inflammation in the small bowel lining and (over time) does damage to it so that it becomes inefficient in absorbing nutrients from what we eat. This is the area of the intestinal track where all of our nutrients are absorbed. Of course, this can lead to any number of other medical problems. NCGS, on the other hand, does not cause inflammation or damage to the lining of the small bowel and therefore does not produce the antibodies that celiac disease antibody tests look for. Neither will NCGS, therefore, produce a positive biopsy result. NCGS and celiac disease, however share many of the same symptoms in the area of GI distress and NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is, at the present time, no defining test for NCGS so an NCGS diagnosis is arrived at by first eliminating celiac disease for which we do have tests for. Having said that, some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.  Yes, you are correct in stating that both conditions require a gluten free diet.  So, in the absence of official testing for celiac disease (and official testing done under the proper conditions) a person who is experiencing distress when consuming gluten cannot be certain whether they are dealing with celiac disease or NCGS. Not to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease while actually having the condition makes it difficult for some folks to stay on the gluten free bandwagon. It's just the psychology of the situation and wanting to rationalize away a very inconvenient and socially isolating medical condition.

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you!  This is super helpful and confirms everything I have read. I was definitely eating lots of gluten before both testing and endoscopy. If the biopsies do come back negative, I'm wondering how conclusion/distinction is made between celiac and gluten intolerance is made.  Or does it matter because presumably recommendation of gluten-free diet will be the protocol??

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By trents · Posted

      You are welcome! We frequently get similar comments. Knowledge about celiac disease in the medical community at large is, unfortunately, still significantly lacking. Sometimes docs give what are obviously bum steers or just fail to give any steering at all and leave their patients just hanging out there on a limb. GI docs seem to have better knowledge but typically fail to be helpful when it comes to things like assisting their patients in grasping how to get started on gluten free eating. The other thing that, to me at least, seems to be coming to the forefront are the "tweener" cases where someone seems to be on the cusp of developing celiac disease but kind of crossing back and forth over that line. Their testing is inconsistent and inconclusive and their symptoms may come and go. We like to think in definite categorical terms but real life isn't always that way.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Hey @Morgan Tiernan, Sounds just like my experience. I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis over 10 years ago. It appeared suddenly as a very itchy rash which looked like Eczema. When a steroid cream didn't clear it up, my Dermatologist (who had come across it before) suspected dermatitis herpetiformis and performed a skin biopsy which came back positive for dermatitis herpetiformis. The important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. What you've described sounds like classic dermatitis herpetiformis though. Hopefully, your Dermatologist has come across dermatitis herpetiformis before and performs the skin biopsy correctly as trents mentioned. I've had the blisters on the knees, hips, forearms/elbows or anywhere that pressure is applied to the skin ... from clothing or otherwise. They itch like nothing on earth, and yes salt from sweat or soaps/shower gels will irritate a lot. I've been on Dapsone and it is very very effective at eliminating the dermatitis herpetiformis itch, and improved my quality of life in the early stages of getting on top of dermatitis herpetiformis while I adjusted to the gluten-free diet. But it does have various side effects as trents said. It can effect the red blood cells, lowering hemoglobin and can cause anemia, and requires regular blood monitoring whilst on it. You would need to consider it carefully with your Dermatologist if you do have dermatitis herpetiformis. Here's a very informative webinar from Coeliac Canada discussing everything dermatitis herpetiformis related.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAdmsNiyfOw I've also found this recent interview with a Dermatologist about dermatitis herpetiformis to be educational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZnLeKutgUY Keep the chin up and keep advocating for yourself for a proper diagnosis. Though it sounds like you're on top of that already. Are you in the UK or Ireland? I'm curious because your surname is Irish.
