we brought tianna home on thursday. she looks so good. i guess i didn't realize how thin and sick she had looked before. we still haven't worked out the bedroom arrangements----we don't have enough bedrooms, so elliot may be in a cubby-hole, of sorts-----fortunately, he thinks this is great and is pretty excited about it. i need a little more of his eight-year-old optimism.

That's great to hear that Tianna is home and is doing so well. Glad you got through the hospital mix up. I bet she's happy to back with family again too.

YAY!!!!!!! :D:D:D

My boys didn't want their bedroom ... they wanted a corner of the basement. We live in a quirky old house, and their bedroom is off the dining room, so it makes a very nice TV room! I'm happy to have the space, and they're very please with their corner of our 90 year old basement -- that's mostly dry!! :D Boys have different standards for judging appropriate places to live!

Chrissy, that's fabulous, you have your family together again. I am glad Tianna looks well. And as for Elliott, hey, a cubbyhole is perfect, it can be a cave, the belly of a big ship (and he the stowaway), a dungeon.........sounds pretty exciting to me!

Ooo... A stowaway... So much fun! Make him a sword out of cardboard and you've got a 2-month hyper-focus onto pirates and swashbucking.

I'm glad your daughter home again. . . I've seen your other posts and I'm glad she's doing so well. And, hey, my daughters are always hoping we'll move into a house with a "Harry Potter" room under the stairs . . . I'm not surprised your son thinks that would be cool, too!

I thought you of you and Tianna many times last week while away for Meg's surgery. I'm so glad she's back and doing better. Still praying for both of you!

      New onset constant gas

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      4 Years and very little progress

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      By RMJ · Posted

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
