Good morning friends,

Well I am all done with my three rounds of cocktails, can I get a Woo Hoo!!! I am scheduled for the removal of my stomach on January 27th, so basically I have 23 days to eat all I want to eat, of course no gluten, lol. The doctors are so pleased with my progress and actually think I will have an easier time with the surgery and the new diet because I already know what my body can and cannot handle, what will cause the big D, make me sick, etc..... So thank you Celiac Disease!!!!!

Now dont get me wrong I know that this will not be easy, but I do feel pretty good going into this, I can look at this two ways, I am getting my stomach removed, ummmm ya that is not going to be fun, or I can look at it as I am getting rid of the organ that has the cancer so that I can move on and live my life, there will be major dietary changes but heck we have all been through that!!

It's kinda funny people say to me well at least you wont have Celiac Disease anymore, ummmm ya I will, I just laugh it off. People dont understand I dont mind having Celiac, its the Cancer that pisses me off, lol.

There are certain things I miss, you bet, but on the other hand I never feel like I am missing out on good food, I eat great food everyday!!!

So I just want to say to everyone we have Celiac Disease, Celiac Disease does not have us!!!

Oh and to let you know I got the cutest little blond wig and I am rockin that new hair, you know they do say blondes have more fun :D

Have a wonderful day everyone, thanks again for all the support and hugs, take care B)

You have such a great attitude. I hope everything works out really well for you.

I hope you don't mind me asking for details. But I am curious about your surgery. Will they be removing most of your stomach and leaving a small amount for food intake, kind of like a Vertical sleeve Gatrectomy or will you have to have it all removed and be basically left with a bypass surgery? If they are leaving some of your stomach, do you know the percentage of stomach they are removing?

I cannot believe someone thought you wouldn't have Celiac's anymore...LOL....DUH!!!!

Here's one for you:

I've read so many times on here about people saying that other people would say to them, that they would kill themeselves if they couldn't eat bread/pasta. It has really offended many of the gluten challenged on this site. Well, glory be, it finally happened to me the other day. The cashier said it. I was delighted, because it took nearly 2 years for someone to say it to me, she said "I'm Italian and I would kill myself if I couldn't eat pasta" I had a good laugh and then told her about Tinkyada pasta, ending with "see you wouldn't have to kill yourself afterall" I said it sarcastically, but in a joking way that caused all around, even the cashier to burst out laughing. Sometimes we just have to find humor in things that really are not funny. I love your attitude and just thought that you would enjoy that liitle tale.

I'll be praying for you, and will add your name to the prayer basket at church on Sunday. I'll be praying that your surgery goes smoothly and safely and that the surgeon gets every bit of the cancer out of there and that you have no more cancer ever ever ever ever again...(((((hugs)))).

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
