MEGAN UPDATE

MONDAY, JULY 31, 2006 09:47 PM, CDT

Still no fevers! She had her pacing wires removed today, so the only thing she's attached to now is her heart and O2 monitors and the feeding tube (which she was attached to before surgery)!!! The nurse let Cole help with removing the pacing wires, which made him feel very important.

She had a really good day and seems to be feeling so much better than before surgery. One doctor who saw her when we were here a couple weeks ago just kept commenting on the difference. She couldn't believe it. She said it usually takes longer for kids to look good, so we're thankful for that.

A family that at Ronald McDonald House just had surgery today and isn't doing well and had to be put back on the heart lung machine tonight. His name is Will Ray. Please pray for him and his parents, Fred and Amy.

Thanks for everything!

Love to all - Jarod, Tanya, Cole, and Megan Hope

:) This is truly a miracle how fast she is recovering. The power of many praying people and her strong little spirit. I will certainly be praying for little Will and Fred and Amy. Thank you for the great news on Megan. Cole is so precious too. What a great little "big brother."

Megan continues to do so well. We are so blessed. On doctor said we may even get to go home today, but probably by tomorrow at least. I'll let you know as we find out more.

I just found this on Megan's site:

Tanya and family,

So happy that Megan will go home so soon! That is wonderful she is feeling so much better. I am sure it is such a relief to have her playing again and smiling.

Will pray for the little boy Will that isn't doing well. I stayed in R. McDonald house when my son had surgeries. The greatest part is having other families that are going through the same thing you are and can totally relate and it makes you feel as if you are not alone.

Take care,

Monica

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
