Paula,

I just saw this. How tragic it is for you and your husband to have to go through not only the death of his brother, but all the pettiness that has come out in regards to the funeral.....

Sending you as many strength vibes as I can muster up! Hugs to you and your hubby....

Take care,

Karen

Im sorry your struggling with his family, we are still dealing with my grandma's stuff and its been almost a year. I do know they bury people in the winter as my grandma was buried in December. Is there a way you can get a payment plan since others arent willing to help? I know our local funeral home gives payment plans for families.

Thanks everyone, we made the arrangements to have him buried in 3 weeks, we made the arangements for the memorial and burial, we called the bank to get the money. we had everything planned out. Then the sisters got pissy and said no we wont do it til the spring, so we were like ok fine, we will wait til spring. Well now they dont want to bury him. This is what they want cause they dont want to spend money on the burial(which we were paying for in full) and now dont want an memorial in our hometown for others can say there goodbyes. They also told hubby he could pick the date for the memorial cause we are supposed to get a major storm on friday. Well then they called and said it will be thursday and friday. They keep calling now and hubby is just refusing to answer the phone. cause we are done with their lies.

Hi Paula,

I just wanted you to know that I am so sorry for all you are going through. We had a similar situation when my husbands Dad died 3 years ago. The hospice nurse told us it was so common for families to have big problems and become bitter over the death of a family member. It's sad, but so true. My husbands brother and his wife stopped speaking to us when they found out my husband was executor of his Dad's will. My children still ask me why they can't see their cousin. It's very sad.

Anyway, I just wanted to send some extra hugs to you and your husband. I know how difficult and draining this situation can be.

Take care,

Joni

I just wanted to thank you for helping me get threw all of this and for listening to me cry and vent. We will be buryuing him this spring with another memorial and big celebration of his life. this holiday is going to be so hard without him, we are trying to get into the spirit but it is so hard to do. I did do a little memorial here for him, i got wreaths and big bows and put their names on the fence, of all the people we have lost this yr, i put one for my neighbor we lost, my grandma i lost, my bil, mil and my grandparents, it looks very nice and it is bringing us some closer in the whole matter.

But now that im starting to think straight i wanted to thank you all again, i could not have made it without all of u to listen to me.

paula

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Oh, yes. When you reply with the reference ranges, please also add the units used such as mg/L or whatever. Different labs will used different units of measure just as they will deploy different reference ranges.

      Welcome to the forum, @breadbreadbaby! We cannot comment on your test numbers until you also provide the reference ranges used by the lab doing the analysis. Different labs construct the test analysis differently and used different reference ranges, Hence, there are no industry standards. You will likely have to repost the existing information in a new post as I don't think you will be able to edit your original. These two tests are the only ones that are celiac specific for which we need the reference ranges:  IgA - .98 Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4  Urate and ferritin are not specific tests for celiac disease. Urate is a test for uric acid levels and would be something run when gout is suspected. Ferritin is an iron storage protein. Though not a celiac specific test, iron stores are often depleted in those with long term celiac disease because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel by celiac disease. The small bowel is the portion of the intestinal track where all of the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed, including minerals like iron and the vitamins necessary to assimilate iron like B12. Many celiacs have few if any GI symptoms. This is common. We call them "silent celiacs". I was one of them. Silent celiacs are usually discovered indirectly because they develop health issues or irregular lab values indicative of vitamin and mineral malabsorption. In my case, it was elevated liver enzymes which had no other explanation. It took 13 years for me to get that figured out after the first appearance of elevated liver enzymes. By that time, I had experience significant bone demineralization.

      Just as a follow-up — I guess I’m wondering if I could have a false positive, despite how elevated it seems to be? My doctor said a biopsy doesn’t make sense considering the high result and the lack of GI symptoms but still unsure what I’ll do.
