For those that have followed me with my bil, please everyone pray. He was found unconscious today in the hospital, and they did an cat scan and found an lesion on his brain and one side is paralzyed. The drs said they can not do anything for him. We can not leave and be with him now cause it is a blizzard here. Please pray we can leave tommorow and make it on time. My husband is not taking this good at all, so also keep him in your prayers.

I am so very sorry, Paula. The holiday season is an especially difficult time to lose a family member. My grandmother was buried on New Year's Day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

He's 26 again and free of pain, in heaven with family and watching over you all. You will all be together again one day, until then, just know he is with the angels.

Sending you angels too help ease your pain.

Thank you everyone, he is up in heaven with his mom and his big sister. Our 6 yr old son looks exactly like him, even more so now that he is no longer on this earth, so we will always have hubbys brother living on threw our son.

My hubby also thanks you all for your well wishes, he was reading them this morning and crying. He is trying to be strong but i think he is still in the numb stage.

We are still not sure on funeral plans or anything yet, it is so hard when things happen on the weekends, and no one knows of what he wanted. i just hope they let hubby have some say it what is going to happen.

thank you all, things are really an mess. Of course his 2 sisters took over and let my hubby have no say in any of the arrangements. The kicker is the funeral was supposed to be in our hometown, but his sister decided to have it were she lives, were he had only lived for a few months. Cause that way people dont have to travel in the snow. No consideration that we have to drive 4 hours with 5 kids in the snow. This has turned into ww3. I am just so fustrated with it all, my hubby cant even grieve cause he is so upset and hurt.

I wish I could go backhand those two sisters for you. It sounds like they have made everything as hard as they could from the very beginning. I am a firm believer that what goes around comes around and they will get theirs in the end. It doesn't sound like there is any way you can override their decisions, and they don't sound like the decisions your BIL would have wanted, but you will get through this. I hope 'the sisters' realize the damage they are doing and that their actions are going to drive a wedge in the family that may never be removed. You and your family remain in my prayers and I hope this ordeal is over soon and that your dominant memories of your BIL are good ones and not overshadowed by the memories of the sisters attitudes.

I wish i could back hand them to. My hubby had it out with both of them last night, but no progress on the plans that they decided, but they gave lots of excuses for making the plans without him. what it all comes down to is no one wants to pay for any of it, and the ones who have paid some and compainingb about it. Hubby was like if we do it in our hometown, ill pay for the priest and the church, and we already have people that are willing to make the food(and real food, not coldcuts). I was like if everyone would just take 100 out of their christmas budget then he could have a great funeral. It just gets me they always have to have the latest gadgets during christmas, but they cant come up with money for an funeral. And many of the family members make 6 figures an yr. Then they told us we cant bury him now cause the ground is frozen. I really dont think they dotn bury everyone that dies in the winter. So im calling the mortuary today(i went to school with the cornoner) and find out what he really said. The biggbest kicker is they still dont know when the funeral will be, im so over this.

      Positive biopsy

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do.

Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility to coeliac disease it should be possible to give a diagnosis.

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
