Sending lots and lots of get well vibes and hugs from Canada!!!! Just make sure you don't mess around with it too much - I mean, if it gets to a certain point, GET THE IV!!!!! (Personally, I think you should have been that route already, but I know your trepidation about that......)

Lots of hugs....

Oh Judy, I am so sorry. No wonder you did not email me today. I was going to email you after I did the forum. Of course my prayers are with you as they have been daily thru all you are going thru. I have to agree with Karen as to the IV. I know you don't want to be in the hospital, but you need to address this now. When I had whatever it was called with the swollen knee. They put me in the hospital ASAP and hooked me up to an IV. I went home 3 days later much improved and continued then with the anitbiotics. Wouldn't you like to see this end? MUCH LOVE AND MANY HUGS. AND OF COURSE THE PRAYERS.

Judy, did the doctor recommend IV therapy already? If they did, I would definitly consider it, because if oral antibiotics alone can't wipe this out, they will make the bacteria even stronger--and then IV antibiotics might not work, either.

Tell you what, if it comes down to it, PM all of us your hospital info, and we will send you gluten-free care packages!

I hope you are having a restful and recuperative night....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Judy,

I'm so sorry to hear you took a little step backward. I totally missed this thread and all that you've been going through the last week. I finally just saw your email tonight and rushed to check the posts. You know I will be thinking about you and praying for you to get better soon. I feel so bad for you having to keep your leg up and taking the meds. :(

Get better soon girlfriend. We miss you on here.

Good advice on the IV perhaps... Maybe that would be the better option for now. Make sure you ask doc about it. Oh Judy my friend...I wish I could come and sit with you for a while to talk and give your mind and worried heart a rest for a bit... How disappointing, to miss out on things b/c of being sick again. You carry so much. But I will keep praying from Indiana. Keep updating us when you can friend. I will try to e-mail you today and write out a few funny stories that happened this past week--give you some more reading material to give you a break. :lol:

I am so happy that you are doing better. My husband has to wear compression stockings inbetween the ops he is getting on his legs. He says they are a b~t~h to put on, but it makes a noticable difference in the swelling. Still praying for you. HUGS

:) Hi again Judy! Yes, they are a bite to put on, but very important to wear, not only to prevent swelling but to aid in circulation and to prevent clots. Have hubby get you a spare pair to keep them fresh 'cause I thought they were a little hot. Take care and WE'RE STILL PRAYIN' !!!!!

Hi Again,

Thanks for the tips and prayers.

still doing great. leg not swollen at all...forgot what it looked like.

the temp has stayed down but elevated right before dinner but down after dinner and 2 excedrine. hoping it's just my body fighting to heal itself....

now have 10 min until i can lay down for the nite.

I so appreciated all the email cards and notes and phone calls. Think my hubby is finally getting why I feel so connected with my friends here...today kinda had a 'emotional meltdown' but it was a good thing..didn't realize i was pushing so many feelings 'deep down' esp fathers day coming up too. Hubby wasn't quite sure what to do with me so went on an errand and when i was cried out he showed up at the front door with the neatest hanging basket of Euphordia a new plant to me...He does know what will bring a smile to me...

thanks again for your continued suggestions and prayers. Just love hearing from you all on my 'sit up breaks'

love and hugs

So glad to hear the swelling's down and the hubby is up!

Careful with Excedrin--it's got caffeine. Maybe a coated aspirin would be easier on your tummy?

HI Friends--Good news to report--

Went to Chiro today and she was amazed at the improvenment. She said she was very worried what she would see today as she didn't know result of 'drop in visit at the internist'

She said that my leg (that also has 4 tumors) and is larger than the R one anyway....is smaller than she has remember months before the cellulitis :) Swelling is gone as is heat and rash... :) The temp is down during day and tonight it's been lower than before...so I think you prayers are really really working plus my 100% compliance with leg up....

I was jittery today and (thanks Alison Fiddle Faddle) think i was having caffeine withdrawl from the excedrine i forgot about the caffeine in it...I take so many for pain daily anyway but trying not to take now..

so that might explain it. I think with this whole thing..it has made me realize that we must really trust our own bodies and instincts...mine said...'STAY OUT OF HOSPITAL' AND LET'S HOPE IT WAS RIGHT.

internist concerned with c-diff..so chiro now has me on 3 acidopholis and 3 yeast defence a day to try to make sure this doesn't happen.

Hope your prayers will continue for another week if you have the time. I am so greatful

Judy, do hope you're doing better every day. Hubby had his bursa sacks removed from both knees Thurs so he's in Ace bandages almost on his entire leg and isn't allowed to bend his knees for a week.

Keep well

Thanks all, T hope Megan is better this afternoon.

Yesterday i over did and today the ankle is swelling some but not hot and no fever so today i've been dow most of the day but leg hurts now being up all the time.

hope that the compression stocking they are ordering and should be in tomorrow at 9:30 am. I had to go out because they have to fit it and had to measure it. dr didn't put compression # on script so have to call them first thing tomorrow.

I just have to keep this leg up and not let how the other parts of me feel...Of course it very hot 95 here and muggy today so maybe that's part of it even if we have A/C

hope you all are having a great day.

Thanks for the prayers and notes.

love

Judy

:) Take good care, and keep cool!! It is 98 here and muggy too. Hope we all get some rain. Get a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade and a good book or movie Judy, and TAKE IT EASY!!!! Glad to hear you have no fever. The power of prayer, right?! Have fun with those stockings, they are so sexy-lol :D Have a great Sunday (and Happy Father's Day!)

Hope you are still recovering. If you're still having problems, ask your doctor/chiropractor about hyperbaric treatments. It is being used today for wounds that won't heal, ie. gangrene, diabetic sores, etc.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
