Remember....you must go through the de-gluten chamber before coming back to our lovely village after foraging in the town over the hill.

Gonna have to check my calendar, but Karen, I think the straight jacket has to stay on a little while longer . . . have to protect the citizens of Rachelville . . . sorry about the "difficulty" with regard to the bathroom issues, but -- SBYL. Hugs to you, Darlink!!! Lynne

OMG guys, you should hear my stomach right now..... Has any of you ever cleared a drain and once it's cleared, you get the GLUB, GLUB, GLUB sound as the water is going down the drain? That is my stomach right now, you can hear it in the next room! Yep, the night has just begun..... <_<

When do you sleep between being up half the night and taking care of the children?

A big HUG for you.

I've got to get to bed too. I'm one of those that needs more sleep than some.

Well, let's see..... it should quiet down around 5 - 6 a.m...... doze off until around 8 - 9 a.m. when someone usually comes down and kisses my cheek (either Daniel, Connor or Rhiannon, I mean!). I pretty much sleep on the couch every single night now, if I was upstairs, I would be waking everyone up with my bathroom antics!

During the school year it is a bit easier, as the days that the boys go to school (they are going into SK this year), I can at least nap during the day to catch up on some sleep. Where I live, kindergarten kids go every second day, all day, instead of 1/2 days every day......

miamia Rookie
Miamia,

Have no words of encouragement that you haven't already heard, but I just wanted you to know that you have absolutely no idea how much I can relate to this statement. If it helps to make you feel better at all, I am SOOOOOOO in the same boat as you are........ except in your situation, you take one step forward (progress) then go backwards..... I just plain go backwards!!!! :(

Sending hugs to ya,

Karen

I hate to hear you are in the same boat- its not a very fun one. The steps forward are more mental- like I think I have figured something out -some key and I get really determined and work at it like crazy and then never really get any results. o me and you can walk backwards together. At least we won't be lonely!!

Vincent--

Don't feel bad, you're not alone! I had 14 pages to read this morning. Good thing I had to get up early to wait for the Verizon repairman. :D

I may have to give up sleeping :lol:

Best of luck tomorrow morning with your heart testing. I will say a prayer for you tonight. :) Let us know...

Although, I would much rather feign stupidity and sit back and watch a shirtless construction worker give me personal lessons on how hard the nailer can pound it in........

Oh my! :lol::lol::lol:

miamia Rookie
:blink: Good Gawwwwwd, I forgot the roof guy was coming at 7:30 this morning...I am half asleep, but checking in off and on today. Need caffeine....

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!! HAPPY TUESDAY :D:D .

Gotta let dog out to poo and then feed her and the cats (who are soon to be homeless if they do not shut their little big mouths, lol. ) Why do I feel like I have a hangover every morning and I don't drink? Ugh. Maybe I should start. :blink: See y'all later.

Everyone who was sleeping last night- - The Dave is indeed the "Village Idiot" and way too fun to tease :D .

oh yeah- a village idiot- we needed one of those. So maybe when we do things- like eat things we know we shoulden't we can say we pulled a "Dave"

Miamia

Here is an example-

"Rachel often commits a 'dave' when she eats Edward and son crackers"

sorry rachel- no offense- as you know I too have fallen vicitm to these yummy things

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms? 
    • Wheatwacked
      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.
    • RMJ
      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
