Andrea -- Sorry to hear about the kids...I am so afraid of bees it's not even funny. I got stung in the tongue a few years a go and it was horrible....although between them ud, tobacco, and onions, they may have to live outside :P

Susan -- Sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope it passes quickly.

Rachel -- My dx included a loss in excess of 50 pounds. I would be cheering to gain some back as well. My poor wife thinks I am too skinny now.

Vincent -- Keep those updates coming.

I just heard my darling daughter in her crib. Time to go!

Ryan,

OUCH. I can't imagine being stung on the tongue! I've only been stung on the foot three times and I am afraid of the buzzing critters that fly and sting. They are all doing better now. We just used baking soda for a few minutes and have been ice packing it as needed.

Hi everyone--I'm up to my wazoo in paint, but needed to check in :D

Andrea, I hope everyone is recovering nicely from the bee stings :)

Susan, you poor little thing--switch to Dove! Hershey does me in, too. The little "Treasures" come in Dark, Milk or Caramel--and they are better than Hershey! No need for a girl to give up her chocolate :D

Celia--How did the move go? Everyone ok? B)

Talk to ya all later.

Carla,

My hair is driving me nuts... I'm going to shave it all off like that singer - what's her name O'Connor?

Sinead? Is that how you spell her name?

No one likes their own hair. Mine drives me crazy, it's best just to ignore it!

Celia, I'm fine. Thanks for asking....feeling great today. Just discovered this new carbonated pomegranite drink at the store....awesome.

Kids are great. Our daughter (Tasmin) is just a big ham. ANything for a laugh. our son is much better. I am beginning to suspect that MIL was taking him off his meds at randon to sabotage our efforts. We talked to my FIL's girlfriend, a psych nurse, who said Blake appeared to her to be going through withdrawl symptoms while he was there. That could explin the events from earlier this week.

Well, off to bask in the sun before the storms come back.

Hi Patti!

I was just thinking about you.... the spooky thing again :ph34r: I bet you're getting really close to being done.

Yep we're all fine.... we had to move their furniture into storage until the closing on the house... so we'll have to do all the moving again in a little while... good googly moogly :blink:

Andrea,

Glad the kids seem better... I hate to get stung... ouch!!

The weight thing... so, so hard for everyone no matter which side your on... when I put my jeans on and they don't stay up I get scared to death.... I try so hard to gain.... I did gain 1/2 pound!!! YAY

Daxin,

How have you been feeling and how are the kids?

Susan,

My little dingo buddy... you must not be sick... I am so lonely without a 1/3 of the comedy club missing :unsure:

Miamia,

I've been thinking of you also... I worry about you so much!

Carla,

My hair is driving me nuts... I'm going to shave it all off like that singer - what's her name O'Connor?

You are so sweet- I am trying my hardest and even though I am going through a rough patch (ok have been for3 years) I am still fighting to figure it all out- and this thread has helped me so much!!!

Oh my . . . . things have been quite busy in Rachelville since this morning!!!!

I don't know the joke behind the ice cream . . . but Dave brought home the ingredients for Blueberry Ice Cream (my favorite) and had that . . . if it's a I haven't caught, like the cops are men, then, well, BOHICA :lol::lol::lol:

Don't have much to say, except Nikki -- YOU should be put in charge of infiltrating the Altoids factory . . . are you sneaky??? Think you would have to be sneaky to slither in there!!!!!

Had a good day . . . spent it in the bookstore with my DH!!!! Found GREAT books in the $1.00 and $2.00 section!! There were a lot about how to stay positive with a chronic illness -- they were good ones, too. There were also two books (same title) about how to help your child with chronic pain . . . so if you guys have any children with difficulty, e-mail me (bodyworxinc@hotmail.com) and I'll buy it and send it to you.

Nothing much else to report -- hope you guys have a good night! If I'm plagued with insomnia again (mostly it is because the dog INSISTS on lying beside me (not little Destiny, the big one, Lucky) -- he puts his head at my knees, which makes his BUTT about 12 inches from my face. Doesn't matter how I move, he arranges himself so that he's in that position. Then, as he relaxes, he passes the most obnoxious, horrible gas I have ever smelled in my LIFE. Being 12 inches from my face, you can imagine the effect. So, after two or three of his little "stink bombs", I have to get up until his flatulence is gone!!!!! Have tried everything . . . meds from the vet, chlorophyll breath tablets, you name it . . . nothing works for this guy.) So, should his flatulence occur again tonight, I'll talke with you then!!!!!

Hugs to all in Rachelville,

Lynne

Miamia!!! We finally get to see you.... you're such a pretty, pretty girl!! I knew you looked this that!

I worry about your weight, I think you are the smallest of us all, I pray for you alot!

How's good ol' NY? I was just thinking of you yesturday and thinking about the time you were standing in the street with brain fog, I've been in that situation and it's scary.

It's so nice to see everyone in their pictures!

Aren't you getting tired of all the icecream? :lol: Good gaawwwddd your mouth must be frozen :o:lol:

I am just proud i figured out how to put up a picture!!! I have been meaning to do it for so long. New York is HOT- we are in the middle of a heat wave. Its gonna reach 100 on wednesday. And new york heat is horrible because of the humidity.

I think I am the smallest - I swear it is part of what keeps me from getting better but I can't gain weight no matter what I do.

I should be the official town weight taker- I can take all the extra weight people want to lose-

Lynne -- be careful...not too many people may know what BOHICA means. Unless I have the meaning wrong. I've been known to do that from time to time.

All this talk of ice cream makes we wish our son was home so I could take him out to DQ. He loves it, and the one here by our place is so good to wipe down everything and make me one of the many flavours of gluten-free blizzards they have (peanut butter cups are my favorite).

:blink::huh::blink::huh:

My mind just went totally blank...

Guess that means I should sign off for now.

I know how you feel.... in 3 months I've only been able to gain 1/2 pound.... that's why I think of you so often because I know how it feels to be so terrified... so scared for yourself, I don't want to end up in the hospital either.

I had gained like 3 pounds and was so excited and then I weighed myself the other night and it was back to the old weight. Its so weird becaus eI have a set image of what I look like and I don't understand why people look at me all the time and then I look in the mirror and it really is scary. I went to florida last weekend- your neck of the woods and trying to figure out what to wear to the beach was so hard I tried on a bathing suit for my mother and we were both in good moods and when I came out we just both started to cry and tried to hide it from eachother. I really really feel for you!!!

I wish you could have visited me.... I would have loved that... and I would have cried along with you.... ahhh but not for long...because basically most of the time I make fun of what I look like.. :)

People are always making remarks to me too, I try to shrug it off but when I'm feeling vunerable it hurts.

HA.. Andrea :lol:

I am the same way- most of the time I don't let it get to me I have grown thick skin and I know I ma doing everything I can to change things. Its just everyonce in a while it gets to me if I am already upset or something. I am way to happy of a person so I really don't spend most of my time down. I go to bed everynight thinking I'll probably be better tomorrow- A bit naive

Mia Mia, your picture is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

We almost have everyone with pictures now! Evie and Cissie, I hope you get yours up soon, and Robbin too. And everyone else, even if it's a cat or a dog, something to distinguish you by. :lol:

I haven't been able to post, I have missed so much already, just wanted to pop in and say hello and hope everyone is doing well.

Just a quick update, so far my diet continues to go pretty well. I am even eating nuts now, which is a big help. :)

Tavi, we can have a whole squad of shirtless single cops just for the single ladies :lol::lol:

Have a good evening everyone :)

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this.

      EMA Result

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.
